Maybe it's because I learned to play Winning Eleven/PES/FIFA in the same room as my opponents, so the endless backpassing/dicking around in the backfield would result in punches, taunting, and the sense that you're ruining the game, but goddamn I would never pull that shit against another human being. Just seems against the spirit of the game.

Don't get me wrong: tiki-taka up the field is a beautiful thing to watch. Getting the edge in possession is important, but keep it within reason. Especially if you're the person who freaks out about pace abuse, remember that passing back-and-forth in your 4-5-1 for 3 minutes straight is just as annoying with Fifa 16 coins ios. Be a man/woman and string some passes together going forward. You can beat that press your opponent's throwing at you.

They will never score into you because the games AI will defend for you and the high pressure means the bots will intercept for you as well.

On the other hand, ive been able to reach DIV 1 in all fifas since they introduced the feature and consider myself a pretty good player. I use a possession/quick passing/high press style of play that revolves around = If I have the ball and you dont, you cant score. Basicaally using fast passing and switching the wings to exploit space and create holes.

This year thats difficult to do with the fact of the high pressure/ultra defence bullshit exploit and the fact passing is a guessing game and the game is even slower. Pace being dulled down like it has also doesn't help worth trying to create holes. Im stuck in DIV 5 and have a pretty bad record, so I cant say its just me, considering the amount of people in my pretty much exact situation with Fifa 16 coins android. Here's a tip, dont get warped in to players in the ball. Try keep your back 4 in a line. Imagine they all have a rope attached to each otehr, thats how you should keep it when defending, if your playing a CDM, use him to chase the ball down.

Playing a possession game is certainley not cheap, they have to score at some point and its up to you to exploit the space they are gonna leave with playing such a high possession game. Its a sports game, different styles of play should be encouraged not discredited like they are.
