FIFA 17 SLIDERS | 1.07 SET | FIXING PATCH UPDATES!!

« Oh, EA, how do we still have to continue to fix your patch updates!? Oh well, we don't do this to hope they change their ways, we do this out of necessity. Here are hopefully the *final* set of FIFA 17 sliders. Hoping that if there is a 1.08 patch, that the sliders can hold up. Sorry about my voice as I'm losing it!! Big kudos to Operation Sports FIFA sliders community!!!!

Settings:

Operation Sports Community Sliders

World Class/Legendary, 10-15 Mins, Slow Speed

Camera: Broadcast, Default Zoom & Height

Sprint - 50/50 - Helps the CPU being dispossessed because the increase in speed means an increase in reaching another player, and thus a better chance of losing the ball.

Accel - 49/49 - More control of player's momentum. True through passes due to more loose balls.

Shot Error - 50/50 - more chances, needs more goals, simple.

Pass Error - 52/52 - Love that this works because the CPU will use all sorts of variety, and without the notion to drill pass every single time, due to the pass speed at 30, they have to find other ways to create chances - and they will - and they will keep you on your toes.

Shot Speed - 51/51 - Bumped this up because GK is now back at 50, get those slight deflections back and a chance to score a screamer once in a while.

Pass Speed - 45/32 - Bumped CPU pass speed to 32 from 30, and it's still maintained the proper speed in passes, with the occasional drilled pass once in a while. The FT control allows these type of passes not to be perfectly controlled, then add on the proper positioning via the line settings and marking. Kudos to everyone who tested the values of 32 and 33 respectively. The thought process with 32 is that the better teams/players will have a bit more tendency to drilled pass, but definitely not at the same tendency, or speed, as anything higher than 35.

Injury Freq - 50/50 - Best balance between injury variety and matches where players have to be subbed out, but also where there isn't that requirement.

Injury Severity - 5/5 - Best balance between injury variety and matches where players have to be subbed out, but also where there isn't that requirement.

GK Ability - 50/50 - No need to go super low on GK anymore since they dive underneath the flight of the ball on shots on all values. 50 has been best, but that doesn't mean they won't do it on occasion.

Marking - 49/54 - With increase in length, we can afford to lessen the marking value. Big kudos to @andanesean for suggesting lowering the user's marking under 50. The HLW makes up for the lack of marking values, but also allows the CPU to play with a lot more variety in their attack.

Run Freq - 5/5 - Plenty of movement off the ball, and run variety.

Height - 65/65 - Evened out height as 65/68 didn't really show too much, other than more off the mark defending on more on more than one occasion.

Length - 48/50 - Discrepancy now makes the CPU much more of a threat going forward, but still maintains overall shape.

Width - 54/53 - Discrepancy to compensate for the length increase. Want to make sure not so wide that defending players do not remain goal side, but not too wide where players aren't running into the box.

FB Pos - 68/68 - Think 68 is perfect. Good variety and nice to get proper counter attacks working.

FT Control - 65/65 - Lots of love for 65, don't see any real reason to lower it.

Matt i just found your video and I tried your sliders in a game and it is a whole different feeling to it.I don't know how many hours you've put in finding this balance, but I trully appreciate what you've done.Cheers! :)

[ricardoavila]

I lost a game with a smile on my face because the cpu beated me fair and square, the game was intense and fun, and I didn't want to throw my controller from the balcony

[jeffreywright]

These sliders seem really, really realistic. It's been a joy to play FIFA again. Playing on Legendary w/ FIFA sliders as Everton & I had won my first 9 games. Just wasn't fun, so I switched to Swansea for a "challenge" and I was 3rd without making any transfers. But with these sliders, it's fun again (I won't go into the reasons why) and I thank you. UP THE TOFFEES!

[jprater]

I hope EA fixes player/team & skills/traits in Fifa 18. I'm tired of seeing 60s play like 70s, 70s play like 80s, etc. If you're playing a team who is weaker you should be able to feel the truth. There's no separation in games. Stamina, injuries, composure, IQ, and ALL the small things matter about a game should stand out more. If we had that fixed it would help people feel alot better about a loss and figure out where to build. We also need to be able to see our opponents strengths/weaknesses too. We basically go into a game not knowing what the hell we're up against. Thats unreal because in reality we should be able to have a gameplan system. Thanks for your sliders Matt you've done one helluva job. I'm sure you agree. We're missing all the important small features that make a football game great. Good energy to you for working on fixing this game. I wish EA put more work in like you. Salute! P.S. These small features added would help make the game be more unpredictable.

I haven't played with the sliders in Fifa 17 but in 16 I used your recommendations and I must say FOR A JOB IN EA PLS THESE SLIDERS THAT YOU PUT UP IS THE TRUTH. I'm still playing 16 and I have 17 lol. It really, really makes a difference. Keep up the good work.

[WhosThatPokemon]

fifa should remove the difficulties option..those are lame and unrealistic..the game should depends on team rating and player ability..Difficulities sucks...

[oxxman]

Matt this is simply brilliant. I used to only play online seasons because the CPU was unrealistic and unfair. But this levels the playing field with a sense of purpose and fun. I've set up a Champions League Tournament and it so much fun. Back in the day I disregarded in game tactics because the CPU just sometime negates all of what you try to do. But now the game is almost PES like with that added flair you may need, the tactical side of the game now shines and I can now play offline. I even totally forgot about tricks and now focus on the gameplay and gaining tactical advantage. Thanks alot!

[jeffreywright]

I'll also add that because the sliders make it realistic it makes every other facet of the game better. Transfers actually matter now, strategy, etc etc. Its now a hybrid of FM & Fifa... FIFA Manager.

[vladimirgeorgiev]

Those sliders are perfect IMO. Defenders are tougher to move past, hold their lines tightly, AI passing is not as perfect as it used to be, and I was able to score the occasional screamer. Good job!

[c.r]

Love your stuff. Today, being nostalgic, I am replaying this game and using your sliders, really wonderful.

[_djsmooth_]

Finally some variation in my career mode thanks to these sliders. Not just 0-0, 1-0, and an occasional blow out anymore thank you!!!!

[martinbotarev]

I tried the sliders and my thoughts are the following:
- Length, Width, Height, FB positioning and Run Frequency - Perfect. The positioning of the AI is spot on.
- FT Control, Speed, Acceleration - I understand what you are trying to do here, but honestly I think it's not working and it ends up with a weird animation... I think that's probably best to be left untouched.
- Injury Freq, Injury Severity - You totally made the right call with this. Agree with this 100%
- Pass Speed, Pass Error - Never really had a problem with the passes being quicker, this way they are slower, but I don't think they affect the gameplay too much...
- Marking, Shot Error, Shot Speed - Now these are the tricky bastards...
-Marking - no matter at what rate I put this, it never plays out the way I want it... The AI defense for the CPU team is either too damn good, or too damn bad... And what I am suffering from is: Bad teams play like Good teams in FIFA... I play Chelsea - Barcelona and win 1:0. I play Chelsea - Luton Town I win 1:0... If the marking is lowered at least I can crush 1 star teams no problem, but then 5 star teams are no challenge and the opposite...
-And about the shooting... Most of you guys like it the way it is... I have serious problems with the shooting in FIFA... These guys can't score if their life depended on it... There are certain positions that can guarantee a goal, but that just makes me think of 8-bit Nintendo's soccer and repetative gameplay... Are u kidding me... In real life Players shoot WAY better then on FIFA.. I even go and set shooting speed at 60 and shooting error at 35...
If anyone read my mile long comment, please reply with help for that one thing that gets on my nerves everytime i play it.. How to separate the good teams from the bad teams.. Please..

[PoTTe]

Still playing better than fifa 18 and 19...

[varunkulshrestha]

thanks a lot man....i really like playing the career mode....and u made it a lot more interesting for me ..from always winning easily 2- 0 3-0 ...now the gameplay is realistic i lost a game 1-3 and those 3 goals were really by good attacking ..and not those goals wich are conceded by players colliding into each other or terrible ball control or the goalkeeper fumbling it....its now much more fun to play!

[Zarazazaza]

Just found out about the sliders, great job! For once the game was a lot of enjoyable back and forth playing, really liked it!

[mkar]

* Time: 6, 8, 10 or 15 minutes
* Difficulty: Home (World Class) Outside (Legendary)
* Speed: Slow
* Camera: TV Transmission, Custom = Height 0 & Zoom 20

SLIDERS: User vs CPU =

Sprint 50/55
Accel - 49/50
Shot Error - 50/45
Pass Error - 52/45
Shot Speed - 51/55
Pass Speed - 45/50
Injury Freq - 50/50

If there are changes "in my opinion" to improve more, I notice ;)

[akiwakayama]

Hey Matt! Thanks for the new sliders again. Really enjoying it!Could I ask you just one question? Do you think goalkeeper 15/15 still works? I kinda liked the weak goalie :)

[FMdanjy]

First 3 games gave me results that i hadnt experienced all season. 0-2 2-0 and 3-0. Finally enioyment in the game and even a loss where i was dominated.

[philsmith]

its brilliant works a treat thanks Matt
