FIFA 16: Defenders Colliding

It's better but Fifa 16 is way more frustrating. Never ever have I lost so many matches because of events that were out of my Fifa 16 account. Defenders colliding, defenders colliding and an attacker tripping over them resulting in a penalty, lobbed through balls that turn defenders into clumsy sunday league morons, defenders trying to head a lobbed through ball when I'm instructing them to track back, 1 defender trying an offside trap without informing the other 3, 1000% offside goals being allowed (I've scored and conceded them), keepers, keepers, and keepers.

The most basic things go wrong with the keepers (weak shots not being tipped to the side for example) yet they save the most difficult shots (even easier if it's a deflected shot).

Despite it being better gameplay-wise it has devolved into a Fifa 15 lobbed through ball spam fest after the patch.

It depends on your style of play really. FUT15 was built for very direct players, the ones who dribble and need 3 to 4 passes to score making it a high paced shitfest clusterfuck for someone like me. I like to utilise my midfield more than my attack, the sole job of my strikers is to finish chances created by build up play from my midfielders which meant FUT15 wasn't for me.

I had the opposite experience in FUT15. I wouldn't say I play possession based game but I do play an attacking style which requires a combination of short passes to reach the goal. In FUT15 because of the high pressure tactic- where strikers were running back to their midfield and even defense to pressure, the midfield always got overcrowded and was impossible for me to get a combination of short passes to go on and so failed miserably at FUT15. In Fifa 16 high pressure has been nerfed which makes it easier for my style of play really. To each their own really. What console do you play?

Can't say I agree. Each to their own of course but in FIFA 15 I was able to play a more possession style of play and averaged about 60% of the ball with 85% pass accuracy, because pace was actually defendable and you couldn't just run with your Fifa coins (evidenced by the kick off glitch in 15 where you could just run and score with a pacey player).

Enter FIFA 16 where because of that dribbling and pace abuse I'm forced to employ a more counter attacking approach and play longer balls. Possession now at about 50% and pass accuracy at 75%.

So it's quite the opposite for me, although win rate has roughly been the same at ~80%. Really hope FIFA 16 will nerf pace and dribbling a bit.
