re: FIFA 16 Official Thread

I like Torino, but their board demands for Year 1 are insane, basically the same as Inter, Milan, Fiorentina...

With my Vazquez haul, I can afford Bernardeschi or Sergio Rico, but I'm not sure if I should do it, as that's not too realistic.

Decided against this. No way realistically Bernardeschi or Rico would leave Fiorentina or Sevilla for Palermo.

Played two games at lunch and Zlatan had 4 goals. One from 25 yards went into the top corner and Lloris didn't even move

Per my recent form however, I gave up an equalizer in the 89' of the first game, and a match winner in the 90th in the second. I'm probably about to get relegated to division 4, haven't won a match in like my last 7 games. Both games today were played in the rain which just fricks me silly with the way I play

I can't understand why I'm so streaky. last night I decided frick it I'm going 4-4-2 and playing Tiki taka until I'm blue in the face.

won 6 games in a row, averaging just under 4 goals a game, conceding less than 1. flash forward, I lose 4 games in a row, stay in division 6, and lose my first 2 games of the new season. 12 year olds will cry scripting, which I have my doubts that it even exists in H2H, I just can't figure out my issue.


it feels like after a winning streak my finishing gets throttled across the board. I feel like I almost have to pass it into a gaping cage to score

same here. funny you brought up Lacazette, I love playing the diamond with him up top and Valbuena or Fekir feeding him constantly. but I had one last night where it was like 63-37 and I had 17 SOG, no goals. I hit more posts than he took shots and lost 1-0

I love that the over the top through ball was basically mitigated in this game- I saw that so much with Doumbia and Auba last year. I've got 3 main gripes with the gameplay though (aside from the typical shite like slow CB's catching fast strikers)

Slide tackles are way too OP
Skill moves are way too OP
Clearing a corner is a minor miracle.


Being in perfect position to clear a corner in the box and having the opponent just wrap his neck around your defender to head it in infuriates me. Half the time when I'm in perfect position and actually head it away, my guy heads it right back out of bounds for another corner. The "call for support" on a corner kick is such bush league bullshite too. You can only get so close to the guy, so he has room to set up a dribble or skill move, if you miss the tackle at the side edge of the box then he's in the box with a defense not set up to defend, so it's easy to just dribble through traffic and tap it into the net. I can shut someone down for the most part playing organized defense, but I always concede shite goals like this. I basically just go balls out in the box now for the tackle because many times I've bumped into someone, without pressing the tackle button, and they hit the turf for the penalty.

And playing in the rain is fricking retarded. I exit the match at he countdown screen if it says rainy, but half the time I'm playing at the away stadium and it says clear, it's raining anyway. I probably win 10% of my matches in the rain.

I've actually had the opposite experience with corners. other than the short layoff, ping pong around and shoot, I haven't conceded more than 10ish goals if imagine. conversely, I basically have no idea what to do with corners. I don't know what tactic is the strongest, nor if I can put after touch on the ball. it seems like any floater in a relatively decent scoring area is punched every time. I might not have scored 3 goals from corners in 50+ games. I'm just lost with them


one of the only goals I've scored was a bicycle kick from the top of the box. Griezmann I have no idea how I did it, nor have I done it since

Try flicking the stick 2-3 times towards the top of the box and sending it in with 3-3 1/4 power and use crowd the keeper tactic. If the keeper comes out to punch and doesn't get it, it's usually going in. It's a tougher shot from an accuracy standpoint but I've headed in a few from 15 yards out on corners. If you have a guy with the power header trait, aim for them. Godin is one and they fricking smash it. Even guys with that trait and a bad header rating are good to aim at.

thanks for the tip I'll definitely try it. I like playing with athletico every now and then so I'll look for him


eta: I've actually got my head to a few corners now, but the losing streak continues nonetheless

Just a friendly tip for career modera:

If you need depth scoring, get Michael de Leeuw from FC Groningen.

He's 74 overall and 28, so you can get him for cheap. He has no pace, but 82 finishing (highest of any silver), 88 header, and 83 stamina. Dude is a beast.
