I discover so many bugs in FIFA 16
I see this argument frequently, and frankly it's ridiculous. People aren't fucking cars: running a lot does not wear out your carb and make your acceleration decrease. Rooney is just past the average hormonal/developmental physical peak for men, and it becomes significantly more difficult to maintain pace and acceleration after that. But doing a lot of running makes it more likely to make you faster, not wear out your engine...
If he hasn't experienced injuries to the hams, knees, or calves (which I don't recall being a problem for Rooney), all that running and experience isn't going to decrease his acceleration magically. Quite the opposite. On the other hand, if he's changed his training, picked up injuries, or slacked off that can. If you want a reap world comparison, consider Usain Bolt. He's about 10 months younger than Rooney, and nobody with eyes or a brain suggests that all his mileage is making him slower all the sudden.
Injuries, yes, but Rooney doesn't have a history of such injuries. Ronaldo, Bolt, Michael Jordan, etc. ad infinitum. Many, many examples from any number of sports can demonstrate that time and games played isn't what precipitates physical decline (until you hit about 32 years for most men). I am a biologist (plants, but I took a lot of physiology classes on the way to get a PhD), and this is one of those persistent sports myths that just gets under my skin.
Rooney is certainly not as quick as he once was. fut16coin suspects it has to do with training, a change in the type of game he tries to play (where he is a playmaker first), and the relative fitness and characteristics of defenders in the PL. Think about it: all other things equal, don't you think that PL centre backs are quicker and faster than they used to get some Fifa 16 news? Rooney is going up against a different type of player than he used to, and now he's expected to do a lot more throughout the game than when he was a youngster.
EA Sports piss me the fuck off. They release games year after year at full game price, making God knows how much money, yet I discover so many bugs in FIFA. Not just gameplay but menu bugs and other random glitches.
When I see that Smalling is 79.. it absolutely blows my mind. He's arguably been our best player this season and he is clearly our defensive leader. Anything in the air he cleans up. He's quick and he's strong. An overall of 83 wouldn't be too much for him, IMO.
People are throwing fits because fifa ratings have been crap for years now. I have not bought the last two editions but before that I bought and played every fifa for many years. I remember after our treble winning year we were still rated worse then barca, real madrid, chelsea and inter. Fifa has always been biased in ratings. Look at how they were rating arsenal 4 and half stars for years (are they still doing that?) putting them at the same level as a roma and Tottenham. I bet they still have david luiz as one of the best defenders in the world wich I will never understand.
FIFA 16 Trading Guide: Trading from 0-500k
Today I will be making this post to help users trade better, smarter and safer in FIFA 16. It does not matter if you have been playing since FIFA 09 or if you bought the game for the first time this morning. This guide will cover everything you need to know about trading from 0-500k.
Lets get this guide started. I will cover two methods for each price range.
0-5k
Alright, we've all been there. You got nothing for your starter packs and can't seem to pick up any deals. Don't worry, I've got you covered. The first method I have is the classic bronze pack method. I don't like it, but it works are it can earn you some nice Fut 16 coins if you don't have a lot. Open up a 400 coin bronze pack and list everything for 200 BIN. If you get a good player/rare fitness card you have already profited but it not, 200 BIN for everything will get you profit. I tried it at the start of FIFA and it took my cards 3 days to sell but it eventually got me from 500 coins to 1.1k coins.
The second method I have is the Bronze, BPL, MAX bid 1k method. You put those into the search and look for a player with decent stats (i.e. high 60s low 70s) and check their lowest BIN. If there is a margin for profit, take it. Bid on the player and try to win it below the BIN + tax (5%). Then, after you won it just list for the lowest BIN or lower if you want a higher chance of selling for easy profit. This method is great because not many people pay attention to Bronzes on the bid. Using this method I picked up a Kenedy up for 700 coins and sold for 1.8k.
5-15k
Here, you should now have a decent coin base. Now, I will show you the method which got me the most coins. First, pick a player in your price range. Check their lowest BIN and see where they insta sell. You now have two choices. You can either one, pick the up on the bid below their BIN and then insta sell the for profit. For example I picked up a Monreal for 1.7k on the bid and then sold for 2.2k BIN. There are so many players on the market, it doesn't matter if someone is doing the same thing as you, just switch to another player and do the same thing. This is the beauty of the method. Secondly, you can start to BIN snipe with this player. Deduct 5% from the insta sell BIN and then decide how much profit you want to earn. For those who don't understand, an example is lets say Begovic is selling for 12k, after tax is 11.4k. If I want to earn 500 Fifa coins for every Begovic I get, I will then search for Begovic's BIN for 10.9k and try to buy every card that is under it. EA has started banning people for BIN sniping when they actually want to ban autobuyers. However, fellow redditor /u/profesercheese made a guide on how to best avoid getting banned by EA here. This guide does not mean you won't get banned 100% but it is helpful to avoid being banned.
The second method for the 5-15k price range is the mass bidding consumable player position method. Choose a position modifier card and search its insta sell BIN. Then, calculate tax and profit margin as always and then mass bid on the cards after you calculated how much profit you want. When I am writing this guide, the RM -> RW card is insta selling at 2.8k. After tax that is 2.66k coins. Therefore you can mass bid ~2.3-2.6k depending how much you want to earn on the cards. Then, just BIN them fro 2.8k and earn a lot of coins due to you mass bidding on the cards. This works with every position change card.
15-50k
BIN Sniping. Simple, easy, efficient. How to BIN Snipe explained above so I will instead be suggesting players to BIN snipe and include their next gen price when I am writing this guide.
Blaise Matuidi - PS: 31,250 | XB: 25,000
Bastian Schweinsteiger - PS: 35,000 | XB: 47,000
Oscar - PS: 32,000 | XB: 30,500
Santi Cazorla - PS: 43,000 | XB: 42,000
IF Zouma - PS: 44,250 | XB: 40,000
You don't all have to use these players but I suggest them because they are in a popular league, are not THAT high rated = packed more often, and are well known and desirable players = people will buy your card.
Secondly, chemistry style cards. Search for players with a Hunter, Catalyst or Shadow chem card on them and flip. When searching for Hunter, make min bid 15k and max bid your budget. Search for a good player and look if they have any other card with Hunter on them. If they don't/the card you found is cheaper than the others, sell it for higher and earn profit. It is a simple way to earn coins. Always keep in mind EA tax.
Here are the search criteria for each them card:
Hunter - 15k min bid, budget max bid
Catalyst - 10K min bid, 45k/budget max bid
Shadow - 10k min bid 40k/budget max bid
50k-500k
You have it easy, Bin sniping and investing is the way to go. Both methods will just be players suggested and prices as there isn't much else to it.
BIN Sniping:
Yaya Toure - PS: 120,000 | XB: 105,000
Neymar - PS: 418,000 | XB: 371,000
Robert Lewandowski - PS: 110,000 | XB: 118,000
James Rodrigues - PS: 105,000 | XB: 87,000
Eden Hazard - PS: 322,000 | XB: 340,000
Investing is hard for some people. They don't have the patience. But patience pays off. Last year I invested in 5 SIF Iscos and they jumped from 60k to 120k each giving me a profit of 300k in a few weeks. If you see prices dropping you can either try to sell before others who panic sell so you don't lose profit, or you can hold on to the cards until they (might) rise again.
Investing:
IF Zouma - PS: 44,250 | XB: 40,000
IF Higuain - PS: 105,000 |XB: 102,000
IF Martial - PS: 81,000 | XB: 87,000
Luis Suarez - PS: 400,000 | XB: 440,000
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - PS: 399,000 | XB: 409,000
What do you think about passing in FIFA 16
The passing in this game is just flat out unacceptable. Literally every game of FUT 16 I play is filled with misplaced passes leading to goals for me and my opponent. Even the addition of players with very high passing such as Fabregas, Iniesta, etc is preventing this from happening.
Concentrate on some of the basics of passing irl. Make sure your players shoulders are square to where they are passing. Keep the pace of a player who is about to play a pass under control, and finally, one touch passes should only be played when absolutely necessary to create a chance or get out of a tight spot.
You guys can't even accepted a different opinion on the game, anyones who doesn't like something in 16 your argument is that the person is bad at the game. What kind of argue is that?500k Fifa 16 coins? Learn to accept other people opinion and point of view,just because it might be different than youre's it doesn't mean it's wrong or unnaceptable.
Most of the people I see that are complaining about passing is just spamming the A button. If you do what japes said in his comment you will succeed in this game. Spamming the A button or attempting passes out of balance or with your back turned won't work this year.
Gone are the 40 yard back heel no look on the volley eyes closed passes. It might feel less fun while we get used to it but one of my major gripes in the past was the way fifa felt too arcadey. If the game is the same I'll try and approach it as a new game entirely rather than a continuation of 15 and build my playstyle up from the ground again.
Not sure what you're referring to, I haven't noticed any issues with misplaced passes. Are you playing with low-rated players or something? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just haven't had any problems myself. I have noticed that if you're trying to do a leading pass to a running teammate, it's much better to use the through ball button in many situations rather than a regular pass.
Passing in 16 has to be more thoughtful, you can't just ping it about and expect to walk into the FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Coins. You gotta either take a touch when the player receives the pass or have that player facing the next passing option, otherwise your pass can go wayward.
It is absolutely more realistic. I see how some people play online and it's madness, if you have ever played football in real life you would know that 16 has probably the most realistic passing mechanics of any FIFA so far.
"Assisted" passing and even "semi assisted" passing in game settings is a thing of the past now I believe. That's if you really don't want to rage because fifa passes to the guy way behind your intended guy even though you tapped the pass button. So annoying. I just switched to manual and I have to say so far it's way better. Yeah you cant spam pass and 90% it will go to your teammate. But this is good! My advice, try manual passing!
Full Reviews of FIFA 16
The FIFA series has fallen victim to what I like to call "crabbing" over the last few years. This is where an obvious exploit—such as the over-emphasis on pace or through balls—is fixed, but in the transition, an old annoyance is carved open like the Sunderland defence.
Sideways "progression," also known as the Tom Cleverley effect, hasn’t been helped by the re-emergence of the Pro Evolution Soccer series, which has benefited massively from Konami opening London-based studio PES Productions in 2012.
On-pitch authenticity—despite the lack of official team licenses—has become Pro Evo’s main selling point over the last two years, underlined by PES 2016 releasing to rave reviews earlier this month.
The FIFA property is a commercial juggernaut, one that will always sell vast quantities until the day a cheesy-grinned Sepp Blatter is placed with the Cheap FUT 16 Coins. However, with PES enjoying the kind of rapid development that makes Harry Kane look a slow burner, it’s fair to say FIFA hasn’t had to look over its shoulder so anxiously for years.
Putting it bluntly, FIFA 16 doesn’t play a better game of football than PES 2016, nor does it come close. The sport’s intricacies aren’t intelligently replicated, tactical battles are simplistic and game-winning patterns are easily forged.
Yet, most players know this and have been enjoying the game for years (myself included). EA’s series doesn’t need to be the most technically gifted or realistic to dominate the two-horse race currently being waged in the video game world (let’s all forget Pure Football happened).
Proceedings are interestingly pitched when the action begins. The effectiveness of pace has once again been quashed, with physical contests and 50-50 challenges taking on greater prominence. Both the opposition and your AI-controlled team-mates are quick to cover obvious gaps, meaning a pinpoint through ball towards speedsters such as Loic Remy and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang isn’t going to result with the net bulging as often as it did last time out.
Each player now possesses a physical presence, too, with movement and decisions off the ball making a real impact on how matches progress.
Sergio Aguero vs. Winston Reid was only going one way in FIFA 15. Now, the game is better equipped to allow the powerful defender to utilise his body in the same manner as his real-world counterpart. As we saw during this one-on-one contest in Manchester City’s recent 2-1 loss to West Ham United, being able to outmuscle and outwork one of the world’s best strikers takes complete concentration. FIFA 16's defending is much the same in this regard.
How to find top players in FIFA 16 Career Mode
For example, I'm in the 9th season which means most of the top players I'm familiar with either super old or cheap Fifa 16 coins. And the some of the best players are regens/fictional. If I want to buy world class player where can I look to find them?
If you know the position you want, then you can make a list of the top few teams in each top league (Bundesliga, Premiership, etc.), then use the search function to search all players the team has at that position. Then, make inquiries to get a rough idea of their values and scout the ones with the highest values.
It puzzles me how people hate this, having to search for players and scout them makes it better. On the old system, I found it a bit boring just pressing search and signing the top players on the list by rating. Surely having to scout them adds more enjoyment, and provides longevity to the game. Also, sometimes you can judge a player wrong with the Fifa 16 news system and regret the signing, this happens in real life and makes it realistic for me. Like in my first season with Cardiff, I spent £3 million on an Argentinian striker, he played 4 games was shockingly bad. Sold him in the January for £750k, big loss, but it happens.
However, I do agree that there should be the option to turn it off and just see OVRs if that's what you prefer. I also agree that something should be done about low-rated scouts being essentially useless if you scout via instructions (manual scouting or scouting via 'one for the future' stories still works fine, but the former is IMHO too clunky to be fun).
Sometimes though fut16coin start a career and forgot about one or two of them and regret it. Bakkali is my favourite of the lot though, quality winger. Already rated 81 for my Cardiff side in my 3rd season.
How will Price Range Affect the FIFA 16
This game sucks so much now since price ranges were added.
players like delph and ronaldos MOTM cards are non existent unless you spam search for ages.
Every week there will be at least one IF priced wrong who will be the same as delph abd ronaldo.
There will be no more market crashes during TOTS and TOTY.
Players don't even sell because there already at there minimums so you can undercut for quick sales either.
EAs price range and opinion of a players price will never be the same as moat gamera, all low rated IFs will be under priced and impossible to find.
If there price range ia too low, 99% of TOTS and TOTY cards will be impossible to find.
No more investing to make coins.
I'm sure there is way more reasons then I've listed too. If this price range stays on fifa 16 it will be the first time I don't buy fifa for 16 years!
they would be better off removing coins from the game mode all together then this *, just make it so all players can be traded with any random for up to another 10 players so it would be straight swaps for players we desire and no economy at all!
If not the other thing to do would be to perma IP ban all the coin sellers. Yes they ban buyers but everytime they ban a buyer they also have the info of the seller and do nothing with your Fifa 16 coins? All video games have the rule you can't sell in-game currency but no percific rules you can't buy them. this is the first one I've ever came across that goes out of their way to ban the buyers but not the sellers!
I spend so much on fifa points every year but what's the point if the players you get won't actually sell and the players you want aren't on the market?
To be a coins seller in FIFA 16
Coin sellers/buyers inflated the price for the top 1% of cards but made the other 99% way cheaper. Think of the millions of extra packs that got opened releasing more players into the market that would not have been opened if they couldn't buy Fifa 16 coins. I've played FUT since FIFA 11 and yea the top players were cheaper back then but the regular players were also more expensive than they are now.
If you start out with a ST worth 1000 coins, play a bit and you can gradually upgrade as you go along. First a 5k striker, then a 10k, etc. There is an actual gradual progression. The way it is now, there is no middle ground. Cards are either near discard price, or insanely expensive. Let's look at LWs in La Liga. Every single NIF left sided player is discard value, except for Neymar and Ronaldo, who are unaffordable for the vast majority of fifa players. If you're making a BBVA team, you have nowhere to go. You can get the third best LW in the league, but you need to play 1000 games if you want to get the second best.
One of the problems with silvers was that there are less on the market so people choose them for price fixing. Virtually all good MLS and Irish Silvers were also being price fixed before the update. There were like 30 Chermiti's with Bins of 60k when I went on after the update. His lowest BIN was normally around 35k since IF Chik came out but if you got rid of all of the price fixed ones his price would probably have been closer or lower than the 11k max there is now.
Stop ranting already. This game is a football playing game not a fucking Football Cards Economy Simulator. This doesn't mean i want better rewards too but this is fine and you can't even play it right now the servers are in maintenance. Decide after you play please.
How do you get to a giant, money hungry company like EA? Your wallet, your social media, and your controller. If you are really against this, you need to stop playing FIFA. Just stop. EA doesn't give a shit if you don't like their FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Coins. As long as you keep playing, they keep making money. Play something else! If you really want to get the ball rolling, share with people that you're boycotting FIFA, and why. One person quitting won't make a difference. Spam EA with tweets, and messages. We need to get fucking loud, so EA can't act like they don't hear us.
I honestly don't see if harder to make profit the way that I did it (lots of sales with small to mid profit via mass bidding). I am hopeful that this will give those of us that don't shell out coin a better shot at competing because prices aren't inflated by the users that have bought coin.
