I don't hate the PC/PS4 version, but after trying again and again : i found that the philosophy of the game associated with the Impact Engine (instead of Ignite) give more credit to the balls feels, movements, collisions.
So i'm playing that version on PS3, i'm not a super-analyst but i can tell that the game flow and all the rest seems a tiny bit more natural and less floaty (no sliders used/Semi)
The very annoying issue is that without having the first real "dlc" adding boots/faces, tons of players with the 1,04 version got the "no feet" bug.
Fortunately : they got boots when you play. Unfortunately, not on replays :/
If anyone got a solution for it, even if i'm dreamin' a bit, as i possess a PS3 Jailbroken i can get access exchange some stuffs stored on the HDD.
There's a "mod" which normally sort of enhance the Fifa 16 PS3 version (i don't remember the name) : you need to add to a "db" folder and rebuild the database : that's what i've done manually but nothing occured.
The other solution probably the best is to install directly on the drive the FIFA 16 Season 2024 made by a team called Cubans Gamers.... But ALL is in Latino American Spanish, not pretty easy at all if you want to start any sort of career or competition. If i could restore it in English by just exchanging one file but it's impossible. It's unfortunately made by Cubans for Cubans and Latin american speakers (even an European Spanish would get hard to deal with).
What i did FTM is only restoring Serie A and PL for league mode. I tried with both a Vanilla roster and another i found on SoccerGaming (there's 4 or 5 squad update still available) but of course it remains the same, i don't really care as it's the game itself that matters to me, but i suppose that the 1.04, containing gameplay changes of course, fuck up the rest. That's the big issue for some seasonal sports games when you buy a console from that gen as EA and the others have close since a long time the servers updating older games like that one. For PES, no prob there's a guys sharing all DLCs on twitter, and some for Fifa, but not the 16.
So one advice : if it's for replaying Fifa from 08 to 14 same as PES until 2018 : no problem to buy a PS3. But the best PS3 Fifa version is the 16, to me at the same level as FIFA 14 PS4, perhaps even better.
If one day i decide to fully replace the boots causing trouble from that game, i would like to share my own save, but there's tons of league so don't count on me too much 😂
