Looks like EA wanted to do a double punch to completely get rid of the "pacey throughball playstyle". A successful throughball barely ever happens for me. They increased the speed of defenders and just ruined the accuracy of through balls. In my opinion they should have just done one, keep the speed upgrade for defenders but let me make a nice through pass if I see a good opportunity.

Although pace and through balls were op in fifa15, at least you could learn how to defend against them. In fifa16, the broken PK calls are putting me on tilt every single game.

I don't know about you but I don't know what to do anymore. I use LT to jockey with my defenders (i'm not pressing any other button) and very often, their striker falls and it's a PK. If I don't jockey he'll simply walk (slowly) until he's 3 meters away of my net and boosts it in.

TBH, that's what football should sort of be like. "Jockeying" a player is basically riding them till they make a mistake by pulling a shirt or shoulder barging them.

Shirt pulling and full on barging are illegal moves, what is stupid is that the majority of the time in Fifa is it currently only recognises that its illegal when in the penalty area.

What should be happening is that fut16coin give away free kicks outside the area more often for this tactic.

Jockeying isn't a clean tackle, so honestly what do you expect when you do it in the penalty area? of course your opponent its going to dive and claim the penalty.

In single player "Be a Pro" mode it actually gives you a buff to your stats for "Drawing the Foul" meaning its promoting cheating as it makes you force the defender to miscalculate and foul you.

The biggest issue is that the player controlled players cannot make interceptions that the AI controlled ones can. The player controlled ones will stand next a ball two feet in front of them and will not stick out a foot but the AI controlled one will sprint half the pitch to intercept a pass

One thing that annoys me is that some people have completely given up on trying to play any possession because it's much harder to buy Fifa 16 coins. I've come across way more teams playing 5 atb and instantly hoofing the ball up field to their strikers as soon as they win back the ball. That is usually useless so the main offense they have is pressing or heading my goalkicks from the midline back towards my goal to a wide open striker to dribble.
