FIFA 15 News & Discussion Thread

Im definitely finding it harder to win in my career mode since the update last week. Think I was on an unbeaten run of about 10 games before the patch, lost 2 out of 3 since the update. Could just be my run coming to an end I guess, dunno.
 
I have a problem.
When I change in option help controller shot to manual this option don't save at
the restart of Fifa15 and every time I have to change it.You can help me? Thanks
 
Was only mentioning as your formation looks pretty decent and could be really good with a couple of attacking tweaks.. If you fancy sharing it?

My current formation doesn't allow any sort of ball retention but I do score a lot of goals, as it is a kid of 3-2-5 formation.

It was to share the formation file, but noticed that FIFA 15 doesn't allow saving custom formations..

Not sure what you mean here. Add a new formation for your team and then customize it all you want. The formation info saves no problem to your squads save file.
 
From your video you want for example one of the defenders (CB) to leave the line and press the striker or whoever having the ball, right?
Here's what I do in my CM, 1st I play coop camera (so I can spot my team position and track AI running without the ball) .2nd with my formation 4-3-3 I found that increasing aggression (55-65) moves my players closer to the opposition.


3rd I choose the nearest defender and close down the AI then swtich to mark the other player who they might pass to.That one needs practice,it becomes easier (2nd nature) after that. At last I play on default WC, coz the AI isn't overpowered and I get realistic match rhythm. Sometimes my defensive line move up to the opposition's half if they got the chance to (when the AI set too deep).That's on tactical defending (I read that you don't use it tho) ;)

About improvement with patch, it's there.They balanced the speed btw attackers with the ball and defenders without it. So it results in more success in containing the attackers and taking the ball from them.But at the right time you can still do that explosive run and leave the defender behind.

Thanks, knight. However, it happens for the CPU as well. I can put aggression to 100 on both and they will still back off like this.

I'm working on it though.
 
I agree that post patch something seems fishy with the defensive aggression slider. I can't seem to find a slider setup where the defensive AI will actually help pressure the ball carrier.

Still seeing different types of goals after 2 months of playing. Nothing too spectacular here but just a few examples of what I'm talking about.
Well impressed with the variety this year

Wow! These are one of the best goals I have seen so far!

The first freekick goal reminded me of Xabi Alonsos against Manchester City last week.

Also the goal starting @0:28:
Loving, how the ball bounces into the goal @0:33 because it got a spin after it bounced off the keeper!

Extremely good ball physics!

I´m still having a lot of fun with this game, brought TSV 1860 Munich to the Euro League but still struggling in the Bundesliga.

I applied for a financial boost at the management and promised them to get a CL qualification this year.
This is gonna be tough :D
(why is there no CM thread btw?)

Very nice gameplay.
They just need to work on the player models for the next releases.
 
I manage to solve all Fifa gameplay problems yesterday.

I finally gave up trying to enjoy it and sold the game! :SMUG:

I picked up FIFA 14 for $9.99 a couple days back, that was my fix. Much better game overall, plus all the mods/codes/tools work with 14 that EA made sure don't work with 15.
 
I´m not a football die hard fan, at least at professional levels. But this Fifa made me buy a console. I never played 14 but after testing the demo and watching loads of videos, I coudn´t resist. One of the things that made me buy this was the presentation and overall graphics. I know it shouldn´t be the most important thing but damn, this game rocks... And these replays :SNACK:.

I bought PES anyway and I confess I did enjoy the game. For the past 15 days I only played PES and between friendlies, cups and a full season in master League, the overall feeling is "meh". Some gret moments, but the sound, comentary, presentation, licenses, game physics etc are too much to forget. I´m getting back to Fifa for sure, as I never had the same satisfaction in PES.
 
Angus - where did your post go? I saw it about the DB edits, etc - you know I'm always game for that - but of course trying to get the game playing right for the console folk as well.

Thankfully the sliders that are just about final have combat the defensive line issue. Yes it still happens on occasion, but it's definitely not there as consistently - and that's what matters to me. I'll have another video of it sometime this week. In the meantime, I've posted the sliders in the slider thread.

Yes mate, i agree that 14 was miles better in terms of gameplay than 15. I still have it on PS4 and i´ll keep playing it when i´m bored with PES.
