Well, anybody looking for changes to gameplay will be disappointed.

I ran three matches in my career this morning, same fixture, all using a slightly modified version of Matt's sliders, on World Class. The results were all similar, 1-0 or 0-0 with the CPU outshooting me typically 8-10 vs 2-4. I have a very difficult time competing with the number of shots the CPU takes. Nonetheless, I think Matt's sliders are pretty excellent starting point for mitigating the absolutely $%#@ing disgraceful/shambolic AI teammate defending.

I don't know how much longer I'll find this gameplay interesting. The "herding cats" and neverending tweaking of tactics and sliders to compensate for poor AI defending is exhausting. On top of that, I spend half my time in attack just simply gobsmacked at the quality of the CPU's defending. They anticipate everything I do, they tackle extremely proficiently, they out-hustle me to 80% of 50/50 free balls. It's about all I can do to make my idiotic teammated defend half as well as the CPU and it leaves very little energy to effectively address my attacking ideas.

I just don't understand why EA is so against patching gameplay.

As the patches have rolled through, for all EA games, the last 5 or so years, it always seems like gameplay is the thing most likely to not be addressed in a patch.

If you look across all forums regarding EA products each game always has several gameplay issues that are universally identified and repeatedly posted as problems.

Yet they continue to be ignored.

This is exactly the kind of post Konami should be reading. Picking up the ball that EA continually drops is how they'll take down the giants.

They don't make gameplay changes because they're busy counting money from their "panini meets pokemon" card game that 90% of their costumers play.

Yeah, I think that's clearly true. It reminds me of how Blizzard were steadfast in their insistence on balancing gameplay for arena/PvP and raiding.

There really needs to be SIM / ARCADE mode in FIFA, but I doubt that will ever happen in our lifetimes.

It's annoying that PES presentation and atmosphere is so poor. Still, I'm going to check it out.

# 466 Gnemi @ 10/08/14 08:04 PM

Okay, time for me to gripe:

I have noticed something really damn annoying in FIFA 15, again while defending. Instead of intercepting or deflecting or cutting off passes, the CPU has this $%#@ing uncanny tendency/ability to 5-hole my defenders! Like, I earn perfect position to narrow a ground pass opportunity for the CPU and, well, doesn't matter, because the ****ers just squirt the football right between my outstretched legs. I'm sorry, but that is not a common occurrence, and sure as hell shouldn't be happening several times a game.

Apparently referee don�t care about hand balls, despite the option on the menus.

I play on WC and have only the shooting and normal pass as assisted. I feel like playing against top team is always easier than playing against middle or lowest team.

also sometimes, I can't do anything, there is some momentum when I know the game will score and I know I can't do anything this is infuriating mostly when I'm winning 1-0 and the CPU score at 90"

I'm playing a career with Juventus FC and I play in 352

Still having a lot of fun! :-)

# 471 geisterhome @ 10/11/14 04:31 AM

is the cpu still rotating their gk every match?

# 472 ~LiverpoolRed~ @ 10/11/14 07:11 PM

Finally! I rounded the keeper and scored for the first time ever. If I knew how to upload it I would.

# 473 Saints1o1 @ 10/11/14 07:56 PM

I have a quick question regarding fatigue in Ultimate Team.

It's the first time I've ever played FIFA ultimate team. Last year's game I played strictly seasons in EPL. In a season, players seemed to have a few days of rest before the next game and could always count on them almost being at 100%.

In Ultimate Team, my team always starts with pretty tired energy bars. Do I just need a deep team and rotate players on game by game basis to get them rest?

# 476 sof @ 10/13/14 04:16 AM

normaly in FUT, it's like your team is playing every 3 days

# 477 ~LiverpoolRed~ @ 10/13/14 09:34 AM

Sorry if this has been asked before. Is there a glitch with XP? I haven't gained any for a couple of days now.

I noticed something hilarious last night for the first time. Everyone is complaining about injury time pretty much always being 5 minutes. If you glance up at the top of the screen during a game you will see the fourth official holding the board throughout the game. It shows a 5 on it already.

# 478 LionsFanNJ @ 10/13/14 09:40 AM

Yeah I haven't gained xp in about 2 weeks.

# 479 fearwhatnow @ 10/13/14 11:51 AM

I played yesterday a game online. After trying for 30min to find some opponent on manual or semi I found one immediately on ANY. I'll never gonna touch online again. Is this really the online gaming experience everyone wants? I can safely say now that without a doubt "online gaming kills gaming".

This year Seasons is just like FUT. And it's impossible to find manual match on PS4.
