FIFA 16 News & Discussion Thread

As we all know, version 1.00 is better than 1.07, at least from a simulation perspective. Since many people (including myself) aren't able to try version 1.00, I wonder if someone could give some suggestions about the mods (and sliders) which bring 1.07 the closest possible to the far less arcade gameplay of 1.00, especially with regard to balanced CPU AI and fouls (there are many more fouls in 1.00 version). By the way, at the moment I'm using Anth's ball physics mod for v1.07 and I find it excellent

I am working on a simulation experience myself, suited to play up to 90 min. Still got some glitches because of contact, where when jostling for the ball, sometimes due to contact, the winner sometimes gets like a huge boost sliding it forward, but it doesn't happens every jostle, and is a very specific context, out of that, the match is intense, players pressure but with head and tend to cover first passing lanes, they defend in a block and even strikers fall back a bit. It's a very worthy experience.

The problem I have and while I haven't announced it yet officialy is the same I had in FIFA 17, stamina. Long term stamina will drop like too fast, and short the opposite, will drain slow and recover very fast. This leads to constant pressing were players won't manage stamina cause their short stamina is always full, and by the half-time the stamina players is less than half. If you add to that that players don't seem to recover stamina in the half-time... You're cooked.

The idea would be to find a way to make short stamina drain more, long term stamina to decay less, and have less recovery on the short term stamina while playing (so that it trully decays) but more recover on long term stamina in the half-time.

This way, the game would be balanced, and you would be able to have some players playing 90+ minutes (even if by the end they're completely exhausted, it'll be by the end and not by min 60 or 70 have all players without any stamina). Donniedarko (aka vivian roberto aka itsnotthatserious) had made the stamina mod for FIFA 17, and later the FIFA 17 attribdb editor. I wanted him to make attribdbeditor for FIFA 16 aswell, but due to life issues, he decided to take a well-deserved break of FIFA modding. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make this attribdb editor due to needing to find the correct structure and hashes of the .bin and .vlt files, but if someone things that knows how to do it, it'd be a crazy enhancement for FIFA 16 modding.

Rn, it is already the best playable FIFA game, but with a couple of changes, it'd be quite crazy what we could achieve with attribdb modding.

If someone knows how to find this hashed values same as donnie did with FIFA 16, just let me know, I'll see if I can help with something.

Still, future looks quite bright for older FIFA's, between donnie's work with FIFA 17 attribdb and all the movement we're saying around older FIFA's. Is quite a joy to see people coming back to this games as modern FC is simply broken trash.
 
@Hels The Ronin Oh yes, FIFA 16, with minor tweaks to gameplay and ball physics would be fantastic. There's also a lot of potential in FIFA 17, and considering it has a better set-piece system, better graphics, net physics, and a slightly more complex career mode, it could ultimately be even better than 16. Im very sad that even though we already have the option to increase the ball size and the attribdb editor, masters like @Paul-v and @Anth James aren't interested in modding 17.

Positioning is worse than 16 though. Defenders are way lazier than in 16. And on the other hand, the animations are way better in 16, I'd say. I've also mod FIFA 17 but doesn't give so good results, specially in what match rythm is.

IMHO Frostbite was a bad engine for the sports sagas and the quality of the product paid the price.

I'm on the verge of getting sacked playing as Portsmouth with RFS in FIFA 16. Using my own custom database where I've added 6 new UEFA club competitions for teams below the 1st tier. Actually have REAL second division teams from around 40 something countries. And here's a silly goal I scored from my final group game against a extremely obscure team Dinamo Baku who I beat 6-1.

I was wondering, did you use any base patch for your customized database? This looks awesome! :TU:
 
HeWillKnockFourTimes said:
So it's using Rinaldo's RFS, I don't know if you know of it. I used his 24/25 DB, and then imported so many second division teams. I'll explain more tomorrow as there's lots of interesting things about it, if you're interested.

Sure! I'd love to hear about it, what database changes you made, etc. Take your time. :TU:

Try this:https://evoweb.uk/threads/paps-modding-mess-house-of-placebo.86376/#post-3685794

the first link of this post points to a file that restores gameplay similar to version 1.0, there is also a download link

Thanks! It seems better now, even if there are still some things that don't convince me: still too few fouls and a general lack of long balls by the CPU (which doesn't seem to be much clinical with crosses, btw).
Are there any modifications to cl.ini which could be useful to get more fouls? I read there are some for version 1.00, but I don't know if they function properly with 1.07. Maybe something that gives maximum strictness to the referee

So, the biggest change to my database is I've added six new European competitions for clubs in the second tier leagues, as well as added tons of second division teams around Europe, so you can be facing off against a obscure club from Albania, Azerbaijan, Serbia or facing a former giant from Germany like Schalke.

The competitions have 128 teams each in the group stage, and then once you pass the group stage (groups of 4, 6 games home and away, just like Classic UEFA competitions) you go into the round of 64, where there is two legged games, up to the final! I've designed it around the English EFL Championship season, so there will likely be conflicts with schedules in other leagues, which is just how RFS works with different leagues and cups having different dates. It's definitely more of a fantasy database, but I've tried to keep it realistic in some ways.
And the EFL championship format remains the same, meaning you play through a normal season, just like any other club in the usual European cups.

I've also overhauled the English League Cup to a new format. The new clubs added are imported using Rinaldo's tools, so the stats are automatically generated, but it seems to be pretty good.[/SPOILER
 
I'm playing my Arsenal Career Mode in FIFA 16 and I would love for you all to check it out. First link in my signature below. 😉

I've had the same issue since I recently updated to Win 11.Are you use Win 11 too? For years, everything worked fine on Win 10. Cheat Engine version 7.5. I also use Speedhack in FIFA 17 and 19, and everything is fine there. It's only 16 that's started lagging.

I've backed up the files on my Google Drive. Go the above link and download it. Rename your old FIFA 16 folder to something like "FIFA 16 - v1.07" and extract the archive and name the main folder "FIFA 16". Do not update the game and use the EA App in offline mode before playing it. Good luck and have fun!

Same issue with WIn 11. It's a shame because i liked to play with 0.92 speeder with Anth's Ball Physics mod, but I guess I've gotten used to playing at the "normal" slow speed now..

For me, a speedhack is a must-have for enjoying FIFA. I'm currently testing FIFA 17, 19, and 22, and I use speedhacks in all of them. I only have the problem with FIFA 16. Furthermore, after updating to Win 11, I experience micro-stutters in FIFA 16 even without using the Cheat Engine, and when I enable it, the stutter is terrible. Previously, on Win 10, I had to enable VSync in the Nvidia settings to play smoothly, but now on Win 11, nothing helps. FIFA 16 is unplayable with the Cheat Engine enabled or disabled :(

That's interesting, because I've been on Windows 11 for years, only more recently played FIFA 16, had the same microstutters in FIFA, until I changed a setting on NVIDIA control panel and it seems mostly smooth now. (With speed hacks)

Not really needed. Gonna give you a trick. Put the game on fast speed in the menu (before starting the game) and turn down speed, accel and pass speed until you're ok with it. You'll find how easy it is to make the game make sense in terms of overall speed and balance reactions and max speed and accel of players and ball.
 
After being sacked by Portsmouth despite dragging them to a Exortus League Last 16 place, (my fictional new UEFA competitions for second division clubs)

I took a break from management (simulating through seasons, before choosing a job) and now ended up in Bochum in the 2. Bundesliga, and after making 10 changes before winning in Europe in midweek 2-0 against a side from the Swiss Challenge League, I reverted to my best 11, and won 7-2!

And it always feels good when you score a easy goal like this...

I am just can add few words from myself, that really know this nice feeling exactly, when "you are fooling all defenders by own skills and finally the goalkeeper can't even save his gates from goal".

There's more. I will be adding some more videos into my channel, included a whole match up to 90 min that ended 4-6 (still too many ocassions conceded) and the goals of those matches.

As I understand it, it won't start without a key?

This archive is for the ones who have the game on EA App, as mentioned above. You have to play the game on EA App first before backing up the latest version and add the release build and do all the method for proper playability without any issue (syncing, save files, authorisation, etc.).
