Excuse my ignorance but there's something I'd like clarification on. *Snip*
The sliders don't result in every player having that number for the affected ability. It's a percentage scale (with limits set so that you can't destroy the game).
So if you bump first touch error from 50 (0 change) to 70 (+20)...
Player A, with a first touch stat of 80, now has 60.
Player B, with a first touch stat of 40, now has 20.
So - and bear in mind this is if you think that the first touch you gain with an 80 first touch player is unrealistically accurate - player A is still better than player B, by the same amount.
Without sliders, I couldn't have played FIFA 16 (or 15) for so long. Absolutely no chance. They're a godsend - by no means do they fix everything that's wrong with the game (particularly the team individuality and the AI's positional intelligence for all teams being far too perfect on the higher difficulty levels), but they make the game a LOT more playable. I'd love PES to adopt them, but there are a lot of people who think sliders somehow ruin development.
Been playing FIFA Friday-Sunday,on the latest slider set.
But does anyone have suggestion for a set on legendary.
These are to strict for legendary,tried em on world class,but feel it's not really a challenge,on the other hand on leg,they're impossible.
Back four never making mistakes,holding position perfectly,and horrible to play against,not very sharp up front.
Need to find a balance,the looseness ot world class,yet the toughnes of Legendary
This is my biggest problem with the game by far.
I watched Burnley v Liverpool at the weekend and Burnley's defending was brilliant. It wasn't just a deep defence and scrappy play... It was executed perfectly - they kept their shape, the defenders very rarely deviated from their instructions and showed brilliant positional discipline, with the fullbacks pushing into the box and creating a solid wall.
Every game in FIFA is like that - I've never had an opponent and thought "wow, they're defending better than anybody else", or even differently from anybody else. They all defend the same way, with that perfect back-line, and with perfect execution. Easily.
After a week of playing PES on holiday (the PS4 came with me, and the Xbox - with FIFA on - stayed home), I came back and played two league cup ties, with sliders, on World Class, as Liverpool, against West Brom. For all the creative talent in my squad, for everything I tried tactically, they were impossible to break down - like Burnley were - and while you could say "well that's realistic then"... No. It doesn't happen every week, it's not perfectly executed every week, and on top of that, West Brom were passing the ball around like Barcelona. They weren't suffering creatively for their defensive bias, there were no long balls - they were just perfect defensively
and perfect creatively, too.
No amount of sliders can fix that, unfortunately. You're playing the difficulty level more than you're playing the team.
