and the wait begins - 8th to 10 September 2015

Just got home from office. downloading now .....

quite nice. the pace is slower, no more pace demons. got to get used to the camera angle, now seems a lot flatter than i like, despite adjusting the camera angle to 20 already. goalie still a bit dungu. but nice to see the defenders covering better and tracking attacking players.

ok, as much as i hate to admit it ..... the women's game is actually quite nice to play. seems less rushed compared to the men's game.

Downloaded the game yesterday night and got a change to play it earlier.

As Terranova state, the pace is slower, which have an authentic feel to it, but somehow it feels a bit weird. (i am unsure whether its the broken controller or the game settings itself)

The added cinematic of the ref does add more "Live" experience, the defender marks you better than Fifa 15, and cutting through is a bit difficult to do at the moment, (with more game time surely can beat this)

The No Touch Dribbling, (still need more time to use it) but it feels useless.. haha maybe a couple of video will emerge regarding on how to use it.

Was there a bouncy cross last time? i didnt even notice it hahaha.. (have to explore more)

Movement of the ball seem smoother (im using a broken controller, hence not sure whether it will be accurate)

A lot easier to get tripped on the penalty box (i played 3 games and gave away a penalty and was given 1) it was just a minor "trip"

I was blazing through on the right side of the pitch and guess what? 3 people were always marking me, if it is in the middle, similar scenario, they cover more area so that it is not as easy to penetrate.

I always tweak my settings to semi or auto and GK sliderbar is at 100 following 65 on injuries. The keeper make a damn few saves but conceded what i would call cech first arsenal barclays debut.

I played using Real Madrid (switch side at half time), Barcelona, PSG (switch side at half time), Man City, Dortmund (switch side at half time), Inter (switch side at half time)

against Chelsea (bloody courtois), Mönchengladbach,

Haven't played the women side though so no thoughts on that.

Overall, cant wait to manage my fav team on the career mode. I guess the unlimited subs only applied there.

Giroud at 82 - Good
Monreal at 80 - Good
Coquelin at 78 - Good
Bellerin at 74 - Very Good

The rest more or less the same.. disappointed at Chambers rating.

Anyone knows whether or not this time around you can actually change the player position without messing with their attributes?

Preorder FIFA 16 just now, it state that i will get a 1 month's EA Access which will allow me to play it sooner? downloaded this morning, had to stop and will continue tonight. Cant wait to start the career mode (if my daughter doesn't hijack my controller)

i have that too, but dont really understand how it works.

It mention that 7-10 days we will receive a code for us to download the EA Access onto our console. With that, if lets say the game is schedule to debut on the 22nd, we can play it 5 days before, that will be on the 17th.

You will also be eligible to play EA Exclusive games when you are subscribe to the EA Access. What they are promoting now, is play Dragon Age 2 for free (under subscription of the EA Access)

More at http://www.ea.com/eaaccess/

when did you purchase yours and did you receive any codes?

The trial period lasts for 10 hours only. After that you have to wait until the official release day to play again.

Haha the first time i play fifa demo was 2006

After that no more. Straight full game. Hahahaha.

Its state somewhere that the game time will be carried forward when it actually releases..

Is it really only 10 hour of access?

More Faqs @ http://www.ea.com/eaaccess/faq.html

What are pre-release trials? Will my progress carry over?
With an EA Access membership, you can download and play upcoming EA games before they’re released for a limited time. Because you’re playing the real game, not a demo, any progress you make will carry over, so you can pick up where you left off starting on launch day if you decide to purchase the game.

wow, i just notice, terranova went from 74 to 79 in 1 game??? damn that was fast

btw, if you guys are interested in finding players, i always use this site -> http://sofifa.com/players | Very reliable.

according to major nelson, it's 10 hrs. so ahaksz28 is correct.

http://majornelson.com/2015/09/17/play-fif...with-ea-access/

however, just so we're all clear, it should be 10 hrs of playing time. so make use of your 10 hrs play time wisely.

hahahaha. eagle eyes. no la, it also includes bumping up the online pro through catalog purchases.

ok, so after 12 drop-in games using my online pro, here's my first impressions of the FIFA16 game engine. it's really really a good improvement over the last 2 fifa releases. the game feels a lot more organic, the AI takes it time to build up an attack, back passes are prevalent and not just rushing forward, the ball gets zip around the field, there's a fair bit of unpredictability and as a result a good number of turnovers resulting from players losing possession or misplacing a pass or just plain careless. AI defend much better, defenders track players and attacking opponents better. however, sometimes there's still that ocassional kaki bangku moments and defenders acting like a stool.

have not played any other modes. dont intend to for now. im using my 10 hrs to play my online pro.

Awesome feedback, so have you used up all 10 hours? hehe

I've notice that on career mode now you can have up to 52 players on your squad compare to 42 on previous FIFA.

But for Arsenal, there seems to be some missing players, for example Zelalem is missing from the squad list (It comes to a shock as he was arsenal promising player out on loan and yet, it is not even listed on the 44 squad list of arsenal)

I'm sure I'll find enough things to gripe about on FIFA16 eventually, as I invest more game time into it. But as it stands, I think it's a step up from FIFA15.

I still have 3 hours of game time left. lol.

nice nice Alright peeps the countdown is imminent
