Been meaning to go on a bit of a rant about this for a while now, and figured r/FIFA is as good a place as any because the thing that's annoyed me is more jarring than ever in FIFA 16. (Please note: if you only care about playing FIFA online, this post isn't for you.)
I've spent a lot of time whilst recommending FIFA 16 telling people that the AI is easily, for me personally, the best part of the FIFA 16 Coins PC. How exquisitely the CPU plays at times, with movement and decision-making that makes previous iterations look embarrassing in hindsight. But as someone who rarely ever traverses outside of single-player FUT seasons (where the juxtaposition is at its most harsh), career mode or my team's match of the week, the double-edged sword of that awesome AI irks me just as much as it impresses me.
It's thrilling to see Barcelona play some majestic one-twos, and I couldn't care less when Suarez outmuscles my fullback then finishes sumptuously. It feels right. But when the 64 OVR-rated striker from some lower league Danish club does that because the difficulty is set to World Class, I feel utterly incompetent & like I'm wasting my time. I do want a challenge but I despise trying to complete what feels like arithmetic in my head; trying to balance OVRs, sliders, and the core difficulty in order to do so. It needs to be more straightforward than that for those of us who want an authentic single-player experience.
I really think there ought to be two single-player modes in FIFA going forward: a classic/arcade mode and a sim/realism mode. Sim mode shouldn't have difficulty tiers because having them is antithetical to players, teams, stats... basically EVERYTHING the game tries to get FIFA 16 Coins Android when it advertises the notion of accuracy. The freedom of all that AI manipulation ends up transforming FIFA into Space Jam: The Video Game, where no-name scrubs magically harvest the abilities of the game's elite and cause them to play like someone struggling to exit a swimming pool filled with jello.
