    You need to have an xbox live gold account to play online. Although that shouldn't stop you downloading updates.

    Edit: Sorry it says your on PlayStation, I'm not 100% sure.

    Yeah the PlayStation plus is what you need. You can get for the year €50, 3 months €20 or 1 month €10. You can buy it in GameStop, extravision, places like that.

    Getting a lot of lag playing fifa online. About 10 times a game I'll get some kind of lag. I'm on UPC with the ps4 upstairs and modem downstairs. Other games don't seem to suffer as bad.

    Are there any settings that I can change on the modem that will help?

    Have to love FIFA matchmaking sometimes.

    "Searching for a similar team"....

    Athletico Bilbao vs Brazil. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭power pants


    I use the option where clubs and national teams cant match

    I'd never looked in the options before! Thanks. :o

    What are decent 4 star or so teams to play with online? I always feel like a bit of a fool if I play as either Real or Barca and playing as 5 star teams in general mean you will always be playing against the same few sides.

    Bilbao are decent but are constantly paired with Dortmund and Spurs and it gets dull after a while.

    Had great success with Newcastle. Try Sporting Lisbon and Marseille too. Leverkusen if you're willing to go 4 and a half stars, they're as good as anyone and the few times I've been matched with 5 stars with them, a draw is the worst I've done.

    Oddly I haven't won a single match against Valencia or Sevilla this year, but whenever I've used them, it hasn't gone well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭RedemptionZ


    Shakhtar are a good team to use too, though despite losing Douglas Costa and Luiz Adriano they've actually moved up to 4 and a half stars. Really solid team especially in midfield, probably just lacking a top striker. Gladkyi is decent though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭power pants


    I seem to stick with a team unintentionally every year

    fifa 12 was everton
    fifa 13 was qpr
    fifa 14 was juventus
    fifa 15 arsenal
    fifa 16 ajax

    ajax have very good keeper (82) and strong throughout

    Looks like FUT prices are at an all time low for 16. Going to wait til the market starts to improve, buy me some players and sell them on when it peaks I think. Pedro cost me 20k a while back and now hes approx 7k :(

    Hey guys I'm sure this has been asked numerous times already but I can't find it, but is this much of a step up from Fifa 15?

    I have Fifa 14 & 15 on Xbox one, I'm tempted to get 16 in the Black Friday sale as it's 40% off, but i've a feeling there's little improvements to it and it seems much slower than 15. Not sure if I like that.

    ^ That's the bones of it.

    Same as most fifas, it's an upgrade but that's about it. Unless you're really into career mode or ultimate team, then you're as well off with Fifa 15


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭power pants


    PErsonally I think there has been a few subtle differences that make the game a lot better than 15

    being able to tackle when the ball is in mid air, bouncing, passing being harder, slower etc


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,277 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Still the best version I've played since 08.


  • Administrators Posts: 53,799 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Game drives me nuts sometimes.

    Sprint to edge of box, hold down shoot for 1/4 bar of power, ball flies about 5 miles over the bar.

    One minute later, sprint to edge of the box, hold down shoot for 1/4 power, ball rolls gently to the goalkeeper.

    Tap through ball to pass it literally 5 yards and ball is way too hard, Linford Christie wouldn't catch it. A few minutes later try a much longer through ball, hold down through ball and the ball barely makes it 10 yards.

    Frustrating.

    So much stuttering on the pc version :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭BOHtox


    The softness of the game kills it for me IMO. It's bad enough getting red cards for next to nothing or giving free kicks away that you're still not sure about in the replay. But the soft penalties ruin it for me. Absolutely kill the game. Gave one away there against Sunderland for absolutely nothing and then my keeper saves it, goes out back in to the box, the keeper manages to save the ricochet or subsequent shot (I forget which) but gives away another penalty in doing so.
    :mad::mad:

    Keepers collecting every corner is annoying too

    It's a very good game tbf though

    A little off topic but I recently bought a ps4 and have had a few games of fifa16, played seasons and fifa world cup. Tonight I tried it with the supplied headphones but they are absolute cack.

    Can anyone recommend a decent pair or is there a way to improve the sound.

    I honestly can't hear a thing, just the odd mumble....

    These are fantastic headphones, especially for this price. I bought them a year ago for 100 euro and it was money well spent.

    Wednesday or Thursday my game synched. No problem with that other than it wiped away a QPR season (got them promoted into the Premier League) I had on the go. No other dramatic changes I've noticed, the pre game drills have reset but the records still there if that makes sense.

    Any way to get that career back or just forget about it and go again?

    Console: Xbox One
