very early impressions...have only played the first 3 games of my career mode preseason tournament as Milan...
first and foremost, I found the game to be exponentially more difficult than FIFA 15...I dont consider myself to be a great player, probably just a little above average, and im playing on Professional..
First game out of the gate I was absolutely DOMINATED by Liverpool...I think I had about 30% possession and they were 1 touch passing the ball around like Barca all hopped up on cocaine...it was brutal...i caught them on the counter a couple times and won the game, but good lord...i was absolutely dominated..Diego Lopez played out of his mind lol...
I definitely have to change my play style from 15...ive still be able to pull off some long lofted through balls...and someone like El Shaarawy (who only costs a million to bring back from loan btw so its like a free transfer for Milan) can def still beat defenders with pace...but you absolutely need to use your build up play from the midfield the majority of the time..
I will say that it seems like the CPU can one touch laser pass the ball all over the place, while my players seem MUCH more likely to play garbage passes, or give the ball away with bad touches. The CPU defenders can swarm your players VERY quickly, and i hate that my fellow defenders refuse to even mark the opposing team.
So far, I've enjoyed the game...i like the idea of the preseason tournaments instead of random friendlies...its a little too early to pass final judgement obviously, but im enjoying it so far...
Sample size is also too small, but I will say that either there COULD be a bug with injuries...or ive got shit luck...
I found my players getting injured A LOT in 15...so i always turned down the frequency of injuries quite a bit. So out of habit i did it before starting my career...turned it down from 50 to 20, and had two big time injuries in first two games...one broken tibia, and a broken arm i believe...could be completely random, but it seemed fishy at first glance
