Hi all,
The folks here seems to be purists when it comes to Fifa, so i thought i'll like to see what you guys think about something i've been thinking about for the longest time..
To me, learning full manual control only makes sense if it's like driving. Auto drivers, at a beginner's level, is going to drive better than a manual driver. However, if you stick with manual, the extra level of control is going to pay off once you advance in terms of driving skills, and you'll be a better driver than the auto driver.
Fifa, at manual controls, should be like this, if not, what's the point of going full manual if only to add an artificial level of difficulty, and for full manual players to believe they have more "skills" than others.
With that, here is my controls:
pass - assisted
through pass - manual
lob - manual
shooting - manual
crossing - semi
I can see the case for full manual for through pass, shooting and lobs. It allows me to play the passing and shooting game i have in my mind, once i've mastered them. leaving them on assisted makes no sense, as the AI sometimes do something i did not intend it to at assisted.
However, passing makes no sense at manual. It just makes basic passing more difficult, while giving me no extra value in terms of control. When i press "x", i just want to get the ball from 1 player to the next, and assisted works fine. If i want to play into space, i have the through pass, at manual, for that.
For crosses though, i just find full manual too imprecise... i'm considering manual, only if i see a value in it..
So, what do you guys think? Why go full manual? Does it really make you a better player? Or is it to boost the ego, and it feels good being among the "elite"
Let me know.. If I see the value of manual passing, i might switch...
