We Need Some Amazing Players in FIFA 16

Posted by james bonds on November 20th, 2015

Not to take anything away from OP, but only his weakest team is remotely comparable to the teams of dudes like me who make a point of not spending any real money in the game.

On a positive note, I'm sure OP's knowledge of counter-pressing will not count against him, it can't hurt. Also, his teams are very well balanced, he could've gone a lot of different ways with the coin he spent, but he had a plan and he executed it really well.

However, if he just happened to favor a possession based philosophy (eg., LvG's Manchester United or Barca) or a more complex possesion/high press style like Guardiola's, a classic Italian counter attacking tactic, a typical English style of wing play with lots of fifa ultimate team coins, etc etc, the game would just simply not be able to execute those (not efficiently for 90 minutes at least, we've all scored from wing play and crosses, we've all scored from counter attacks, but try playing the whole game like that and it's just not very effective).

So to go back to your point, whether OP realizes it or not, this is just the standard high pressure abuse.

PS. I think I have a pretty good understanding of football tactics, so I decided to start trying different, more noble, ways to play FIFA 16. I've gone all the way form 2 Division with a ratio of 3/1 to Division 5 with a ratio of almost 1/1. So yeah... I'm not complaining, I made it all the way to second division by just switching to high press on the second half of games, but I wasn't having fun anymore, it felt scripted, it felt like cheating. Unfortunately, for any of you who manage to read all the way to the end, fut16coin doesn't have an answer, I still haven't been able to find anything that just works the way high press works... which sucks, because imo we don't have a well balanced game at all.
