OK, So i've had FIFA for years but really can't to grips with this game, I'm use to having 60-70 % possession most games playing close touch and passing football. Obviously with this game you cant do short quick passing and controlling after trying that, it was just so poor and laboured, you cant take it round anyone and do quick passing. So I went another route and aquired a few speedsters, well mostly speedsters. But that has not worked, I've got players with 93 speed and per metersacker from a corner will catch them after being 10 metres behind?WTF is that about, as well as well I get bumped off the ball and have to tackle someone 3,4,5 times to win a tackle.Am I missing some buttons? is there a shoulder button which makes your players stronger or quicker(other than the normal sprint button).
The game to me seems a farce, if I was a pro i'd be offended the way it seems to accuse players of playing, without being able to control the ball into your path or pass it in the direction you want. All seems very bizarre.
-Cant pass on the game
-Cant sprint
-cant play first time balls or OTT balls
-cant one touch pass
-cant dribble
-cant tackle
What is the point of playing a football game where you cant do the fundamentals?
Please tell me i'm missing something, and if you think it's because i'm a poor player I got PS4 and will play anyone on 13 or 15 as I still have them.
FIFA 16-WTF am I missing?

Ahh okay Nick fair enough. I don't play online, only career so can't comment or help on that.
Regarding strength though, holding L2 (if on playstation) when you have the ball helps shield it a little more making it harder to have it taken off you. Thats about all I have to help sorry man.

Just figured out more about this game, about how poorly made it is. It seems that the designers are so lazy that rather than imrpove the defending, theyve made both the dribbling and defending worse.Rather than improve both.
I dont know what the point in the direction stick is either:
Nick:tap x and hold direction to left
Fifa:Oh you mean try hit a 30 yarder along the floor right?
Nick: wtf.
Also I've noticed that whenever your up against a good dribbler or 5 star dribble moves(say yanick bolasie) the AI of your player turns obsolete and rather than just get the ball they will sp@z around and do ANYTHING BUT get the ball.
This is probably the worst game i've ever played and EA should be ashamed of themselves
The first touch, the pass, the lack of goals(most my games are 0-0 or 1-0 via a pen) It really is an atrocity

Games against the computer are too hard this year. I don't play career mode only UT and I just tried a single player tournament the other day. I came up against Borussia Gladbach on World Class difficulty and got absolutely rekt. I remember I used to destroy teams like them on fifa 14 now it's the other way around

Don't think they realise that games are meant to be fun to play. Not an absolute chore

AI teams are too defensive minded, park the bus, pass the ball around sideways and back and make it very hard to win possession, create almost nothing. For me most games are just attack (me) against defence. I play with an attacked minded formation and leave $hit loads of gaps in my defence due to high press yet manage to keep clean sheets 75% of the time.

Cech
Chambers Varane Kos Gibbs
Wilshere Ramsey
Sanchez Ozil Neymar
Sturridge
Is my arsenal team now.
Sold Welbeck for 32M and Campbell for 16M. Took my total budget to 120M
Got Neymar for 60M, Sturridge for 30M and Varane for 20M. Kinda splurged after not buying anyone in the first season.

Lloris
Walker, Alderweireld, Inigo Martinez, Rose
Casemiro, Tielemans
Feghouli, Eriksen, Lamela
Fekir
Got Isco, Juan Jesus, Deulofeu and Gonalons coming for free in the summer. Then I'll cash in on some players to make way.
