Anth's 23 Mods // Gameplay v6.0 Released

[Fifapat]

I'd recommend dropping the difficulty if this is the case man.

It's definitely a challenge to break defences down, for sure, but it can be done. This element of improving the defensive side of the game has been very, very difficult to achieve, as typical scorelines are very high on 23.

Stopping the CPU's attacks can be challenging, but it's definitely not impossible to defend well. Some of those stats I posted yesterday show 20 min matches with very low saves, XG and shot count. I haven't had the issue of too much attacking down the wings, I usually defend more by positioning instead of pressing too much. As I said though, try dropping down the difficulty and see if that helps you.

I usually play 30 minute games (15 and 15). Do you think this changes the gameplay? Better if I play 20 minutes (10 and 10)? Anyway, I repeat, great gameplay.

The mod is awesome @Anth James it is the first time i have used any mods in FIFA. Actually, i am a pes player and even with your mod 6.0 and legendary difficulty i find the game too easy. I play as Real Madrid and easily score 4-7 goals every match (only drew with Barca 2-2 till now). Just want to ask is this problem with everyone or just me? (i play 9 mins half)

Nah that's fine man, whatever works for you! And thanks, great to hear!

Thanks man! Wow, you're doing much better than me that's for sure haha. I haven't heard anyone getting scorelines like that on the mod, but maybe you're just very good! Competitor mode off? Deleted the live tuning update? If yes, and assuming it's all launching properly from the beginning, then maybe give Ultimate difficulty a go on Career mode and see if that is more of a challenge.

I am also surprised about your average goal score, Mate! If you don´t mind record a Video for us and load it up on YouTube. I would like to see your playstyle with 6.0. I have many Problems by scoring 2 games after another more than 2 goals or even more.

Once you get a good team going, you can beat even teams better than you by 3-1 or 4-0 in ultimate difficulty. You just need a very good striker and the rest just works.

yes competitor mode is off and no live tuning update as i dont connect to the server and play offline but yeah surely will give a try on higher difficulty. Thanks man and great job on the mod 👍

umm, yeah sure I can try😅. Never recorded anything and uploaded before but will surely try in a few days whenever I play next

You can easily do it when you own a Nvidia gpu via GeForce Experience Software. With AMD gpu the same, just use AMD Adrenalin software. But I guess you know that already. I just wanna mention this because you said you never done it before the recording thing. 😉

If things are too easy I would recommend FUMA controls. I would recommend it to anyone tbh, I could never go back to assisted, manual is way more fun imo. Been playing manual for like 3 years now.

I play PES 21 on FUMA but with FIFA I'm still a newbie with the mechanics and controls, especially defense 😅 mainly because the RB button on my controller doesn't work properly. But once I master I have plans to try FUMA as I loved it in PES 😇

 

[Topaz]

You can try ultimate difficulty and it improves the attacking AI slightly. Other than that, start with a lower rated team. Real Madrid is going to win a lot of matches in general.

Good decision. I went to FUMA a couple of weeks ago and still have my Problems with accuracy especially related to passing and goal scoring. But like the others here said, once converted to FUMA there is no realistic reason to roll back to assisted. Much more freedom, for + and -
Every good pass and even every nice goal feels more "selfmade" and not just hitting a button without the care of directional movement and how long you push the goal shot button.

 

[Marlon Anthony]

Yeah I've been enjoying manual a lot more with this mod, the manual on FIFA is pure manual though unlike on PES where there's still an element of pass correction but I think that's more due to on PES the players really don't know where the ball is and can't "lock onto it" without some sort of subtle assistance.

As I said before in the thread, the only issue I have with manual at the moment is the through balls are just too weak even with this excellent mod, So as a compromise I left through passes on assisted to give it some of that assisted zip.

It's funny because PES has the opposite problem where manual through passes is always overpowered so if you simply wanted to gently lay off a nearby player for a strike with the trough pass, you'll end up belting it pass the intended teammate instead.

Yeah I started playing FUMA on PES 21, I was part of a community on discord which was 11v11 leagues, it was amazing but Konami ruined everything by shutting the servers down 😔

 

[Gee_Simpson]

What's good is that even on manual you can still tell the difference between a good passer and shooter and a bad one, the attributes still matter.

 

[memo_11.01]

using v6.0 and really enjoying it. u did a very great job anth! anyway, i was playing an important match in the champions league group stage when i thought i would finally score this happended
in the end i still managed to win this game 2:1 and reached the round of 16 !!
If someone wants i can record when playing a game and upload it!

A zero to hero series with this mod is actually incredible. Since every stats matter, you really have to find the right players to fit your style of play. Unlike vanilla FIFA or even games like PES 2021/2020, you cannot easily beat very strong teams with a weak team so there is influx of progression. Even though as a football game, it might not be that great, as a video game, it's extremely fun and have tons of replayability. Every players plays differently, every team plays differently. Changing formation against certain teams will yield huge results. Against big teams, you just want to sit back, soak up the pressure and hit them on a counter instead of playing possession. The game forces you to make these decisions due to the difference in quality. Also positioning seems much more dynamic than the vanilla rigid positioning which brings live and diversity to the match. Add to the fact that CPU changing formation and tactics during the match brings even more diversity every match.

I suggest you guys to try out a series of building a 1 star team and putting them into the glories of first division. And make sure to have a career mode mod that disables all these silly attribute boost and player growth boost that vanilla career mode has and I bet you will enjoy it a ton.

Hey man, do you find the manual through balls aren't going into space enough or that they're just too weak? Is it happening for you with quite short passes by any chance? I have a possible theory and I'll check out some values. I did make some changes to through balls in general for v6.00 which have helped for me. Consistency isn't always as frequent as I'd like and I'll definitely try and improve that over time, but here are some manual through ball examples from my last match and I was finding the power of them and the distance was definitely improved. If it's related to short passes only though, I think I've found something that may help.

I know I have been enjoying my career mode but do you have any recommendations for career mods. The only one I am using is Mck's Realism mod, I don't believe it disables any attributes.

It's been a combination of both really, don't get me wrong, from time to time I'm able to hit them the way you have above but there are too many frustrating occasions where the stars line up for my idea to become reality and them the player will just hit an inexplicably weak pass that travels no further than 4 yards.

I'm hesitant to increase pass speed in the slider settings as I'm not sure if that affects through passes or not and will just spoil the now-perfect pass speed.

I also notice that when dropping to professional (which I know isn't recommended for your mod) that the gameplay experience is totally different in terms of the responsiveness of your players and the general efficacy of your passes and through balls.

I've always held a strong belief that both PES & FIFA games nerf you on the highest difficulty settings and in this game, it seems to be the same case. The game controls like a dream on Professional but the COM is too easy to play off the park and they never offer you any real challenge.

Yeah you could be right about the difficulty throwing a curve ball or two. There's definitely a strange thing going on since 22 NG regarding pass consistency. I'll take a look and see if much can be done to improve it a little more. I have a couple of ideas, but not 100% sure it will work.

EDIT: Just did some tests now - signs are actually quite positive! I'll spend a little more time refining and I might post a version to test soon.

I agree with you. It definetly matters for the game difficulty which team you choose. Me, picking when I started my Career mode with 5.1. conscious with a third league team from Germany to have that nice hassle to fight through the deeper leagues maybe to the top and international places. This weekend I asume I finish my first season. There is still a little chance left to reach promotion but I must win my last games and better not draw or even lost one of my last games.
Previous FIFA´s there was never been that much fun to start with a lower league team because the difficulty on Legend or even Ultimate didn´t prevent me to promote every season. This time it looks other with 6.0. gp. Maybe I need a second round to promote in second season.

So for everyone who play with easy goal scoring matches consider starting with a lower league team. I rarely play with Bayern Munich which is my fav team because I like the challenge of the worser teams more.
Anyway, everybody should play like they want and have the most fun for him. But the near release date for the huge Patch called IEM 23 gives another option to dive in with a lower league team. They english Vanarama will be playable including all english cups fully implemented in the whole english League and cup structure. That is one we never had before in FIFA. I can remember the EEP 16 FIFA Patch previously was once I saw that for the first 5 german leagues.
I follow the discord progress of the Patch. I will let you Guys know when they release the Patch. But I also know there are many who are also on their discord Server.
A zero to hero series should now than next level plus with Anth´s mod @Topaz :-)

Some good news guys....after some tests with the through balls tonight, I think there's a definite improvement in this area. It's still not perfect, but you can now create some much more interesting chances with the through ball (manual and assisted).

Also, I've toned down dribblers running to the byline and spamming skills moves until they can shoot. Whilst this area was already worked on and minimised, I've figured out how to build on it so we get some different outcomes.

Excellent news, the second issue was also really prominent, especially on legendary. The problem is attacking and defending are so unbalanced on vanilla that even with your mod, I find jockeying against dribblers nigh on impossible with all the gravity-bending skating going on in that area.

Yeah, I'm wondering what ones disable the attributes boosts, I dislike them.

 

[iljuventino]

Good evening, first of all a big thank you for your mod! I play in Ultimate but it seems a little too easy, am I the only one? I have activated the difficulty based on the individuality of the player but it seems too scripted to me, how can I find the right balance?

Hey mate. One other has said it's easy, most others find it challenging, as I do also. If you find it easy I suggest trying what @Topaz suggested below.

Hi guys, in general, i enjoy a lot playing with this mod. I think its the best of there but i'm finding it a little bit annoying that CPU wont cross the ball at all.
They get to the corner and look for a backward pass or just a simple one, never a cross.
Is there a way to change this? Otherwise everything fells the same, over and over again
