demo and beta aren't the same thing, unless you meant beta instead of demo.

They might as well be the same thing. These people barely change poo poo over a full year of development. You think they will make radical gameplay changes in a few weeks? That would be a first.

I've played the beta a bit more, I guess because I'm a terrible person and I got a couple 2 win drafts but no more than that.

The main thing I can say is like everyone said, just use the fuckin RB pass all the time. Even if you are almost right next to someone. The only time you shouldn't use it is like if you are passing it back I guess and there is ABSOLUTELY no one nearby that could take it. Otherwise just use the stupid RB pass it's really good and there's not that much penalty to your first touch and like the other thing is this: If you use it, you get a bad first touch sometimes, and some of those times you will lose the ball. If you DON'T use it, the defender will always come steal the ball 100% of the time so you're way better off just taking the risk with the hard pass.

Also, on a related note, I don't think RB+triangle does anything so I'm just constantly trying to do through balls that just get tapped and rolled on the ground really slow and intercepted. This is pretty annoying.

I do RB through ball and it seems to be the exact same as RB pass. Goes right to the feet.

Also, might sound dumb and I might get poo poo, but play the draft in single player. 4 wins is easy and you get prizes about the same tier you would online.

Why would I play against the ai for rewards that won't even carry over into the real game

Draft mode is really fun. Although I noticed when I played with Ronaldo/Neymar, they seem really really slow. You'd think with 90+ pace/acceleration they wouldn't get caught by the defenders with such ease.

the same reason you'd play against people for rewards?

Also, didn't the beta from last year carry over? Either or I'm just curious about ratings and such.

I don't care about the rewards, you are insane if you think they are letting you keep coins and poo poo from when gold packs are 2000 coins and draft mode is 50 coins

I feel the same way, nobody seems fast. Sometimes people chase out with their CB when they shouldn't and I get a clean through ball to Suarez or some poo poo and he just feels like he's moving underwater and they all just insta catch up to him

I could have sworn they did. Either or like I said, I'm having fun loving around and opening packs.

edit: Nope, it was that early access thing they did with 14 I'm thinking of.

Sounds like they realized how bad they made defending dribbling last year especially early on and have overcompensated to where now the defense is overpowered. hmm.

The defense is...weird. They are VERY good at intercepting passes if you don't use the RB thing but it's actually harder than last year to manually get in front of a dude and just take the ball if he is zigzagging around slowly. I've had a couple times where I feel like I square up perfectly with the jockey thing and they just maneuver right by me

In general though I think people are gonna figure out pretty fast that you have to just RB pass everything and the interception stuff isn't really gonna happen, you are just gonna see everyone lasering passes all over the field

And then hopefully they are gonna patch some zip back into the normal passes, at least enough that they aren't just auto turnovers

Yeah in 15 one of my better skills was tackling and defending in general. In the 16 beta it just doesn't seem possible. I've had my player lined up perfectly, timed the tackle right, and it just 'goes through' the player and they walk out of it just fine or brush it off like nothing. I'm really only able to get the ball through interceptions. - If this is in the live game I can definately see it getting patched out, just like how the pace whoring/directional change was patched out early on in 15.

Decided to play out FIFA 15 by trolling people in FUT Division 2 with some silver squads I made. I've been able to stay up for a few seasons and every goal pure joy.

Squads:





Didavi scores last minute equalizer,

Jerome is a beast. He has scored 6 goals in 6 games for me,

Frantz and Esswein score back to back goals,

So apparently Best Buy is gonna do the same deal they did for Madden 16 for FIFA 16.

Basically if you have a GCU and a copy of FIFA 15, you can upgrade for about 7.99*.

Full explanation here,http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/08/11/madden-16-deal-cuts-price-to-8-with-madden-15-trade-in/, just pretend they are talking about FIFA.

Yeah, I worked at BB in high school and we got to peep the ads a week early when they came so that's it i'm sure.

Its not blurry but it has the same ball physics issues I always seem to ahve with recent versions of PES, the passes go like arrows and at speed and it just doesnt feel natural.

I was hoping it would be good as if Fifas demo like the Beta then I might cancel my preorder (lol no i wont)
