FIFA 22 Discussion (Console Versions)

I agree.

I don’t mean to cause offence here - but I really don’t see how OS sliders improve the game? They always seem to break the game and make it to too easy for me.

Sprint speed at 5 is very weird. No injuries with setting at 50. Just doesn’t feel right.

The guys over there work hard trying to ‘fix’ FIFA every year and big respect but they just end up breaking it. FIFA 22 only needs a very small tweak here and there.

Personnally it make me feel, weird. I also respect the work behind, the try, retry, again and again all the year.
Those guys doing, at least trying in a very smart way to make the game more realistic or logical.
For example yes, as the game was slowed down, on FIFA 16 it was easier, as i gotted all the time to choose what i wanted to do. And it's one version i handled well on every way to pass for example, from assisted to semi (my favorite) to manual.

On Fifa 15 the direction of their sliders was resulting on a harder game as the biggest issue was the vanilla game was too easy to score (i remember having tons of goal by games, i played online. But it was the one i was perhaps the stronger lol, with FIFA 14)

FIFA 19, was super weird, i could'n't continue (perhaps it's a Frosbite issue? I don't know)
So seriously, i got no idea about slider. I'm starting to like a bit the game more, vanilla, but i need to keep assistance in defense or it's a goal fest as overall defensive effectiveness has been toned down, even from FIFA 20 to me, but weirdly "contain" works better and "tackle" less.

At least from the way i play. That's important too, we don't all play the same way at Fifa. I like fast building style, and plays essentially on the middle. Sometimes i got to pass for crossing when a player is unmarked naturally, but i alway played axially on every game 4-3-1-2 style or if there's Laterals (depends on the team you choose) : i give consign to cuts inside.

You all seem to be right about the sliders, tried 2 games yesterday with the OS sliders and the CPU GK was just standing still (?) the whole time, not really reacting to my shots and overall didn't really seem natural at all. Felt worse than the vanilla version.

That being said however, do you guys who play on the vanilla settings still play FUMA or SLOW game settings?
 
I personnally play slow/assisted and i switched to semi (i feel more the stats impact personally, important to me) with vanilla game. I'm starting to like it.
But i don't know if it's a placebo but on Exhibition matchs the game feel different, even the difficulty. Porto's players were slower and less agile than West Ham and Leeds, i mean all players. Like if they gotted a boost in Exhibition... I don't have a clue but it was pretty different and a bit less possible to turn like a fly.

Doing accurate sliders takes time. Remember, last year they tried everything but no way to correct the game.
This year it's by far more doable i think.
Leave O.S. guys a bit of time, the game is just out since 3 days with day one patch.

I never checked if there's any others "sliders guys" than Operation Sports. The more different version you have, the more chance you will found the thing that suits more to you / and the game overally in terms of balance.
Even if i don't think there's people more involved and experimentented than Matt10 : but you'll never please to everyone about your vision of the "best game", neither Brad Pitt with women.

I play SLOW, default assists (I'm a default assists guy, always have been).

I only change injury sliders. Game is nice and challenging this year - still a bit too fast even on SLOW, but a very good game. Having a great time in my Middlesbrough save.

But you could still use FUMA with default and have fun - maybe on World Class rather than Legendary?

Every OS set I've ever tried always breaks the game (for me, I respect 100s of people enjoy using them). I always end up having to tweak them myself and it becomes a chore - I spend more time editing sliders than playing the game :LOL:

OS Sliders are strictly for FUMA players I guess? I understand that people want realism, but I just want a fun, challenging experiencence - sure, I don't want an arcade game, but I want it to still be a video game first and foremost. I've always struggled with the idea of certain football games being labelled as a 'simulation'. No football video game in the history of computer & video games has been a simulation.

PES in the old days perfectly captured the balance between fun, challenge and a hint of realism. The OS Sliders LOOK good in action but when I actually play using them, it always makes the game feel really dumbed down and weird. Plus they always seem to put GK Ability way too low so the world class players such as Allison, Ederson, Donnarumma etc turn into Sunday League goalkeepers :LOL:

Again, I mean no offence to anyone who spends a lot of time working on them - they're just not for me (personally).

Is the PS4 gen a considerable improvement to 21, or if I didn't enjoy that should I avoid? Am I right in thinking most of the praise is for next gen?

Big fan of FIFA 14, 15 and 16, hated 17 switched back to PES since then.
 
I tried Legendary difficulty just from curiosity. Wasn't expecting that kind realism in gameplay. Teams play like in real life but only one thing I miss is fouls. I get them a lot in professional difficulty but players make unespected moves in professional difficulty and makes game look little more realistic. Legendary makes game like almost watching game on tv. Atletico vs Barca was the game I repeated many times. Barca play short passes and want to enter in the goal with the ball but individuality is amazing. On other side Atletico(me) have awesome players who can control the ball but their movement and counter attacks are deadly. The game isn't perfect in any means but I enjoy it a lot! Worth mentioning I play FUMA, competitor mode off, player based difficulty on, normal game speed with latest OS sliders.

From what i read, it was practically always Semi based in fact. There's each year separate sliders for Fuma no?

I agree with the rest you said about O.S. sliders, but there isn't another big website doing sliders too?
It feel so... Weird to play with their sliders, i just can.

Too bad they wasted serie a license. No stadiums, no scoreboards

They're doing Volta, Women, and all shits mini games, but can't even found a simple way to change at least the basics in Edit Mode.
That's a real shame. I really don't get that company sometimes. There's more Juventus fans and other missing teams than people watching women "football"
It's so BIG that i just can't understand. Even with a patch they could add an simple edit mode like the "create a team" stuff for at least making ressembling the teams we love, with all the money and power they got.
Shame.

I find you have to put your settings in via the main menu, and/or the kick-off screen, before you get into a game. Otherwise, they revert.

A lot of new settings... Classic fifa skills vs standard?

What injury slider is good in career? Wants realistic level

Classic = no changes to the attributes.

Standard = FUT chemistry boosts (they make the game faster and easier).

Zlatan is an absolute beast, as he should be.

This is such an Ibra goal, I grinned. Wasn't the greatest ball, but he made something out of nothing with his physical presence. Medel stood no chance.

Brilliant keeper animation as well, really makes the difference to the realism of the goal

Women's football really should be represented in a video game though?

Have done this but still reverting 😒 even manually saved the profile after.

On the plus side, this game on slow is FAR better than 21. Not perfect but certainly playable for me .

It’s a mess. I had the same problem. Remembered that happening before.
so I went to all places and set it up again and again. One menu made it stick.
there is one when choosing sides (controller left right middle). One on the match screen (team management and stuff). one in the settings menu (main menu) and one during a match. Check them all.

Happens to me with every FIFA, some worse than others. This year it took about 6 separate tries before the settings stuck.

I'm most annoyed about Stewart Robson at the moment. I thought no delivery could be more wooden than Lawrenson in PES2008 but Robson in FIFA22 is worse. Can only imagine he recorded his lines remotely and EA were forced to go with it, as there's no way an EA studio director signed off on him.

FIFA 21's commentary seems so awkward to me from my limited play, I actually miss the old one with Martin Tyler & Alan Smith, seemed more lines and variety too.
 
Wtf happened with this game?

It's definitely different. Very bad now. Fast even on slow and feels more like 21 than 22 definetly. This is not game that was last week.

I really hate it now. Too much skating and no physics no inertia moments with super fast dribblings.

Playing on XSS.
