Hey!
I recently discovered these from browsing the Operation Sports forum, and I've started playing with them a little bit, where I might have ignored them in the past. Very surprising to see such a massively customisable system for such a big game, and I think it's a great idea. Almost everything about the gameplay can be changed to suit the preferences of the gamer.
I picked up FIFA World Cup 2010 and then FIFA 10 this week, and to my surprise I found a game that to me feels better in play to the newer FIFA's (I'm on 13 still though). I can't quite pinpoint what it is, but I think it's in the passing. It's too slow and sluggish on 13, but is much more purposeful in 10. On the forums they always recommend slowing the passing down, but to me it feels so unsatisfying just watching a ball just slowly trundling around when it should be probing and prowling the field. I'm all for a slower build up in-game and more considered application of the passing, but I don't think this should necessarily slow the ball down when you do actually pass it.
Have you guys played with the sliders at all in FIFA? And what have you found? What is your game set to skill/speed wise?

However the sliders are still a great idea. I've speeded up the passing a wee bit, but slowed the shooting down. I play on slow speed generally.
Fascinating all this, I know.
😁
I'm now using a slightly customised version of Zjac7's sliders from here, and really the game is so enjoyable and realistic to play I almost can't believe it.
Gameplay set to "slow". I upped the pass speed a tiny amount to compensate for my shorter halves (10 mins) and lowered the shooting speed to something more realistic. I don't play using manual controller settings as I don't find it as fluid because I can't do it!
Sure I'm behind you all with your PS4's, but to see how far the FIFA games have come even at this stage (2 years ago!) is a real surprise and delight. I bet FIFA 15 will be amazing on the new gen. You lucky folks!
Do you think us on the last gen will still get a worthwhile FIFA 15? I'd like to get it but I'm not going to bother if it's going to be poorly done.
Ill def be getting Fifa 15 because I skipped 14. I look forward to it. Career mode is my mode of choice so I hope that's good.
Thanks for replying Yuffie. I skipped 14 too, not because it was crap or anything but because I'm just too happy with 13 and I don't like to buy them *every* year. Hopefully you're right and 15 will still be great on PS3. If not I'll just pick up a cheaper copy of 14 and be done.
Will there be any prev-gen gameplay videos released soon do you think? I know the whole focus is new-gen but I still want to see it before I pre-order.
It's getting rarer that you see previous gen videos. As you said, they're trying to push the next gen ones.
But why would you pre-order? Is there a bonus for doing so??
Yeah there's some bonus DLC on Amazon, but mostly they're offering free delivery and to get it on the release day. Just saves me having to bob to the shops.
I don't know what this means!
Been playing it for a few months now and haven't noticed anything where the CPU dictates how the game will go (if that's what you mean), but then I only play leagues and kick off games. I haven't delved into the managerial side of it yet.
The thing I like about it over PES is how you can't just hold the run button and charge forward all the time. I think PES got a bit like that, certainly you can see this in gameplay videos on Youtube. Everyone just seems to hare forward at full pelt. Maybe it's these slider settings, but if you try to do this in Fifa you get nowhere. This game pushes you to take time to plan your moves, and encourages you to probe more smartly.
I can't deny it's taken some getting used to after years of Pro Evo, but now I definitely feel like I "get it". I no longer get that jarring feeling when switching between the games. I can play both quite easily now.
once you do the game is broken.
same boat here
i am playing pes 2013 still, if someone had told me this time last year i will go without a new footy game i would have laughed in their face
new pes has tag line form is temporary class is permanent and embargo on it is dropped tomorrow. look forward to reading that as alot of tid bits coming out seem like they are confident they are back and the best. but like last year it could mean nothing.
Well I've been playing the Fifa 14 demo as I've now managed to order the actual game pretty cheaply. Have to say, out of the box you are absolutely correct. The whole thing seems nearly impossible to play on anything above the easier settings. Players just seem to hone in on you in a very unrealistic way. There's no space for you, it's so hard to build any kind of play up. You feel cheated a great deal of the time.
However, this is why I go the slider route. If you go onto the forum I linked to earlier, a lot of the guys have spent a lot of time addressing the issues EA have introduced via these settings, and after using again the Zjac7 set, the game becomes much more realistic and playable. It makes such a huge difference to the game, I cannot understand why EA doesn't make it this way to begin with. It's completely changed how I play the game, and I can honestly say I wouldn't bother with Fifa at all if these slider settings weren't available to adjust from the user side.
Do give them a go.
In short, while I like the sort of more realistic angle I think they're aiming for, there's a definite shortfall in user friendly gameplay imho. There's no balance, which to me is something that, despite its faults, PES gets right all the time.
I'll stick with it for a while and see if I improve. I remember hating PES 2013 until I got the hang of it. Anyone got any tips? Serious ones that is...
Still on last gen here (PS3). Have spent some considerable time with the game now, and have to concede that yes it does need some adjustment for a decent single player vs AI experience. First off, for me the players are simply too fast and ungraceful. They bump into each other and fall over each other all the time and it's awful. On dialling down the gameplay to slow, then turning down sprint speed and acceleration a little I find it much more graceful imho, and more realistic and fun to play.
After this there's the little matter of the laser guided CPU on anything from Pro upwards. It will score at will almost every time it gets near the goal. I'm still in the process of tinkering but so far dialling down the user shot error and increasing the CPU's a small amount has helped a lot, and also turning down the fullback positioning a tiny bit has helped stop the defenders being caught completely out of position all the time. Now getting some more realistic scorelines as opposed to constant 4-4 draws or 5-4 games.
I would normally deride the inclusion of something like gameplay sliders in a game. It smacks of a company not wanting to spend any time developing and play testing a quality single player experience. Well that's exactly what it is, but when you start to dig it becomes easy to see just how flexible the sliders are and just how much you can change the game to suit. The flip side for EA is that realistically you can pretty much make the game play just like anything you want, rendering any further releases for the single player gamer completely redundant beyond kit upgrades. I could get almost exactly the same gameplay on 12 or 13 that I have here on 15 with enough time and patience.
Am I pretty much alone with the slider thing here? Again if anyone has any tips please post!
I don't mind working to beat teams but one level seems too easy and the next one up just too difficult.
I'm the same. The AI just seem so aggressive on professional and I can't manage to handle them as a result - there's no space at all, yet when they get the ball, your players give them acres of space
The game eventually gets silly on Pro. You begin to notice the AI scoring at will no matter how many you score, leading to Rugby scorelines all the time. I can score fairly easily, but so does the CPU. That's why I went into slider settings to fix things. My sliders on Pro are below. Just very slight tweaks for now, to balance the fairness and realism and fun out a bit. They probably won't suit you as everyone's different, but they're here anyway.
As you can see I've only slightly tweaked things. The camera made a massive difference to proceedings after the slider changes tbh. Let me know how you get on.
I'll see how I get on in the next few days
