FIFA 16 News & Discussion Thread

Thanks. I'm enjoying the game nonetheless. Do you use the cl.ini tweaks mentioned in Cias's post? Do you know if momentum/scripting is reduced by the ADAPTIVE_AI line? I love playing the game, but sometimes the scripting gets ridiculous, like players moving away from the ball to make a CPU goal happen. I know this is the bane of all modern FIFA and PES's... But anything to reduce it would be helpful.

Sorry for the late answer. In this archive you can find what I am using along the sliders I posted earlier, which I shared with @Chris Davies, some times ago (hence the name):

Explanations are provided in the different folders.
The transfer mod does a good job, only the player prices are may be 25% too high. Wages are OK.

@Anth James Thanks. I'd figured it out through a lot of Google searches. It's up and running with some of the latest Gunner faces in (Saka, Martinelli, Smith Rowe, AMN etc). Exciting stuff. What about player transfers? Any tools for quicker transfers? I have the FIP 3.2 patch, so only uptil January 2020.
Yeah the squad looks much better with the new faces haha. Transfers I've just been trying to keep up manually a little, but I'd say the FIP 20/21 patch will come out in a couple of months or so..
 
hello folks. Do someone know which string should i edit in cmsettings.ini if i want many more transfers by ia teams in career mode?

Thank you. I think I used everything you provided. While I love the variety of goals I'm scoring in my Arsenal career mode, is the game too easy on Legendary? I have won all of my friendlies and all 5 of my PL matches. I'm finding top tier teams way too easy to beat, and no-one has scored a single goal against me. I think I'll have to turn assists off and tweak sliders for a bigger challenge.

I am having really hard time in my betis CM, but I play on fuma with the pro cam which doesn't make the things easy.
You could maybe add a // before the CPU home and away difficulty in the cl.ini to inactivate those lines as a start. Then rise the pass speed and decrease the errors progressively.
 
Love this natural collision in a fight for the ball. Another thing you just don't see on the newer titles...


The game is the most complete package ever. It has moments of quick counter attacking goals, slow build up goals, midfield battles, fouls, penalties, errors and bad first touches. Is it faultless? No. Can it be improved? Yes. But all the recent titles have gone backwards than forwards.

PES 2013 is the only other modern title that I feel like playing, but the AI scripted through ball goals through the centre are just too many in that game.
 
Another collision video. This time, a pre-meditated body block by Bellerin to stop the Watford player from going on a run.
Watch his 'Thug' expression as well as the referee's whistle for a foul. It's all just a normal day at office.

 
Been playing a fair few games on Professional, World Class and Legendary and I've deduced that just like on PES, Higher difficulty levels result in a slight more enthusiastic and often productive AI, However on both games the bullshit of nerfing the user's players is apparent here too.

It's a night and day difference between professional and World Class. On Professional your team is highly responsive, Players make great intelligent runs and the game is extremely satisfying to play. You can literally achieve anything you ask of your players how ever the AI is so passive they can be dominated in possession and on the rare occasion they get forward or even get through on goal, I never feel in danger because the AI always comically balloon their shots into the crowd no matter how close to goal.

On WC and Legendary, The AI is very productive, Threatening and even pull off some really impressive surprising moves, But it's clear the game is handicapping my players responsiveness, passing, first touch and movement. You lose the ball and you spend the whole match getting it back and you have to hope the AI misses a shot or somehow the ball goes out of play in order to get possession back than 3 passes later, Now matter how much you fill the power bar, You're still fated to play a slow sluggish pass that doesn't reach the nearest player and the cycle begins.

So, What I'm trying to ask, Is is there a way/mod that removes the nerfing from WC & Legendary? Something that makes your team as responsive as they are on professional but still has the CPU spunk of WC & Legendary?

I'm on the brilliant 1.0.0 by the way if that helps, Is there not a cl.ini line that disables the handicapping? Any recommended sliders that balances the higher difficulties better?

This is a really special game the AI is underwhelming to play against on Professional but World Class & Legendary are just not fun to play on because of the tediousness of the scripting.

im in totally agree with u and i add if it were possible to increase ai players transfers in career mode because is so sad to have teams that after 6 years have only 1 player bought in the line-up.
how many players buy AI teams in your career mode?

Its funny you mention this, I played a game today and somehow felt the AI was just more responsive than my guys, they were just one step ahead... Im also on 1.0.0 and been enjoying it perfectly. I have tried for the past few months to make pro playable, but the AI just wont be threatening.

I am using cialis cl.ini file which I think improves the AI moving forward. What Im doing right now is playing WC but giving myself an advantage in accel slider with +1. This seems to mitigate the problem somewhat. Let me know what setting works for you. Tomorrow Ill go back to the drawing board in pro

No guaranty it would work but you can try to set your game on Pro to avoid the nerfing and add those lines to your cl.ini:

[CPUAI]
HOME_DIFFICULTY=1.00
AWAY_DIFFICULTY=1.00
HOME_OFFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.00
AWAY_OFFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.00
HOME_DEFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.00
AWAY_DEFENSE_DIFFICULTY=1.00

1.00 should be legendary difficulty

Also I think @Ciais cl.ini has a line that prevent the AI to read your input, can't remember which one at the moment.
You could put your game on WC and try with that line.

I'm using 1.0.0 as well, and my career mode playthrough on Legendary is going really well. First up - the game will never be 'simulation' in terms of most things as you'd already know. The passing stats, possession etc are all going to be won by the CPU.
I feel the scripting too at times, but what works for me are:
1. Legacy Defending
2. Fully assisted passing and shooting. I only keep through balls on semi. But I do keep a 60+ shot error to compensate this somewhat. (I have realized I cannot play with shot error low and manual shooting as I end up missing a lot)

I got to take all my chances, basically - there's no way I can simulate a Wengerball Arsenal or a Barcelona in this game. Instead I play a quick counter game with focus on pressing, fast transition and maximal efficiency.

Here's me struggling against Crystal Palace in terms of numbers, but I scored some excellent counter attacking goals.

The league table is a bit topsy turvy, but I'm enjoying the matches thus far.

I'm also using the cl.ini Papinho posted a couple of pages back - it has some home and away match settings which might be kicking in. Honestly, I am not sure. It's good to keep an alternate game with you to go to when Fifa 16 frustrates you. And it will at times.. But it looks like I'm always coming back to it though.

Thanks I'll try these, Do i have to regenerate when I edit the cl.ini or can i just save it and play right away?
 
Hey MMB

Regenerating basically tells the game to look for game files outside the .big archives (data1.big, etc)

Once a file is installed/located in the game folder(s), then it doesn't matter what you do to it -- as long as it's always there and you regenerated (= told the game to look for it there), you can edit/replace it as many times as you want without having to regenerate again

Hope it's clear :)

Do you have the values for WC and Pro?

I just copy paste in the .ini at the end?
 
Here I am, finding legendary too easy.
I'm hitting average opposition out of the park. The toughest matches I had were against Liverpool and Manchester United, and in the former I scraped through with a 1-0 win in the 90th minute, while I equalised with a controversial penalty in the 90th minute against United to keep my unbeaten run going. With the cl.ini I'm using, it seems like I have the momentum/scripting on my side.

Good morning but this famous EXE 1.0 where then find x please ?? thank you
Ps:Would it be compatible with the stadium server ?? thanks

If you have a paid copy in your Origin account, you can download the Super Deluxe Edition online and use that folder instead of your original game folder. It has a 1.0.0 exe. (You'll have to firewall Origin though - it will auto update the minute it gets a connection)

Their is no need to firewall Origin. You can simply turn it offline every time before starting the game. Origin will update it only if you launch the game with Origin online.

Interesting. I firewalled the bugger anyway because I don't play any other EA game.
 
I'm back to playing FIFA 16 ModdingWay. But I forgot which file was used to edit player database attributes globally.

I play with Ciais' mods and they're amazing as ever.. but I'd love to edit some global attributes.

Can't find the editor anymore. Or actually I'm not sure if it even had a editor. Haha. Thanks.

Let me know if you tried these. I played a game in Pro, WC and Leg today. Out of the 3, the worst was WC which is weird bc I had been enjoying it... but they just ping ponged passes and played backwards always to the keeper. Legendary was much better an not "harder" but I was playing against a low rated team and it still felt a bit overpowered. Pro, felt very human like in the sense the did some more mistakes, but are braindead in some aspects, dont know if upping sliders will help

@Ciais thanks for alll your help, ive put way too many hours in fifa 16 thanks to your mods.... do you think there is any additional strings to edit in the cl file to make pro play a bit harder? AI_CPU_DEFENSE, a higher number is easier? or the other way around?

Sorry for not answering yet to your previous quote. I think WC should be 0.80.
I am not sure those lines actually work, but I have the feeling that for the attack ones, reducing the values to 0.6 and 0.8 for home and away game recpectively helped nerfing the cpu efficiancy in front of the goal.
But their are some poeple that said they had no effect and apprently, according to @paulv2k4, lower values resulted in harder games in 15...
