Premier League
First of all thank you very much for such a brief overview related to the Gameplay Edits and your very interesting Edits you have done by yourself.Hi Byronic,
I use the latest moddingway mod (2018 squads) because supernova's db has been designed for this one. But i made own changes to both cl.ini and DB.
In the cl i added a few adaptative difficulty and AI defence strengh strings because i found it too easy without. It adds a little momentum for the AI but not as dramatic as in the vanilla.
In the DB i modified some values in the regens and youth player tables so they fit the lower values of the players main table (for ex balance, vision, crossing, long shot...) and reworked the national and international prestige of the teams. The DB was converted from fifa 18 i think and EA changed the notation. In 16 the prestige value was set from 0 to 20 and in 18 from 0 to 10, which would have caused strange things on the transfer level.
I also took the flair trait out for 99% of the players (average joe's tended to do Neymar style fancy backheel passes on every games) and added the "one team player" trait to players like Thomas Muller, Neuer, Sergio Ramos, Piqué, Chiellini etc.... There are also few changes made in the dlc files transfer.ini and playervalues.ini but i'm still testing it, not so happy with it now.
This is supernova's gameplay with my modification:

If you have a disc version of fifa:, to use the 1.0 exe in fifa just don't allow the updates in origin and/or disconnect internet while installation.
If you can't, after installation just replace the fifa main folder by the one in Papinho's thread (thanks to him to make it available):

In the exe proprieties, the signature date should be 19 august 2015, something like that.
Here you can find the supernova's original DB 10 and cl.ini file on page 20 :

Glad you came back to 16, it still looks good with some mods, except for the lightning, this is way better in recent ones, but that's pretty all
The Traits Editing is one of the most valueable things which can be done for the whole Gameplay Topic. I always used to follow Fidel´s Gameplay Edits, especially his Special DB´s at the times of Fifa 18, 19, 20. Also I discovered last year Fifaccitiu Fifa 18 Gameplayzed Thread where he edited the whole game ( not only First Divisions ) with well sorted Traits for the Players in game. I tested those edited Squads and the difference was huge to default GP.
Anyway, your Edits to your DB are also in depth and well made. I am curious how they change the game. Just a great move from you to share. You have listed everything for an very good restart with the particular links. I appreciate that.
The Supernova Edits seems something I have missed that time. I know his works for Fifa Gameplay over the years but I joined the Fifa PC modding Scene just in 2017, close before the first Frosty Tools came out. And that means it was already Fifa 18 Time.
So you would recommend to purchase the disc Version of Fifa 16 instead the digital Version? Unfortunetly I bought today the Digital Version. But here in Germany there is no Problem to buy the Disc Version because we have an Sell and buy Market similar to Ebay Auction House. It covers only Germany. And there I often noticed that Private Sellers offers Fifa 16 as Disc Version. The Prices are acceptable btw. Maybe I purchase a Disc Version too.
The Difference is the available exe I understand. Via Origin they serve you the latest exe and with the Disc Version we become the valueable 1.0.0 Exe, right? I am aware from Pap´s Thread that the early exe provides an much better Gameplay Experience.
Well I will start tomorrow downloading your provided Material. And to be honest, it feels good to be back at Fifa 16. I enjoyed today reading the newest Posts and how many Users are participate in the threads after now 5,5 years after the Game released. And yeah, last but not least is it always fun to have all that Opportunities for modifying the game in Terms of Graphics, GP and Immersion.
And your absolutly right, with some mods the Game looks still very good after all that years. Cheers
