Should You Use Simulation Sliders in FC25

[@vevabg]

I use simulation too , I'm very happy about this because anyway on previous version i was doing it manually almost the same 😂.

[@Yorkiemann]

Yeah saves so much time.

[@leiva3364]

Simulation sliders on World Class for me has been close to perfection. If anything games are too low scoring and I concede much less than teams around me in the table and also can't score as much as other teams around me in the table. As for injuries I get a lot lol I currently have Jota out for 4 months and Gravenberch has been out for like 2 months in my Liverpool save and I have played half a season. Simulation sliders on World Class feels to me like OS sliders on Legendary past Fifas, which suits me. I might adjust the sliders just a bit on my next save though because there just needs to be more goals. Too many is unrealistic but so is too few

[@100percentSNAFU]

Same settings here but finding a massive inconsistency. AI Opponents are either extremely aggressive or extremely passive, there are very few games that are just balanced and competitive. I thought it might have to do with the other set of AI sliders, the ones you can set to custom, tactical, or dynamic, but I messed with those and ot didn't make a lot of difference.

[@jammyjam123]

I’m 15 games in my wolves career mode and we’ve scored a whopping 13 goals yet we’re in 6th, I like the gameplay defensively, but there needs to be more going on attacking wise. The ai are happy to pass it around the back all game, and for the user, there’s no forward runs, the wingers and CMS stand still so your striker is stranded

[@KimBarnerTBP]

I have been tweaking my own Simulation sliders based on the suggested ones. However, I hadn't tried tweaking the AI Behaviour yet, so thank you so much for suggestion. Also, it is so good to hear someone express exactly the same positive feeling that I also have for this year's edition. I honestly love it

[@KdeL2114]

It is really suprising how EA just went: ,,Hello Carrer Mode players, guess what - you don't need to search for hours on KZbin to edit every single slider so the game is less chaotic - you just switch one button now and thigs are diffrent. Enjoy" Small act of developer kindness

[@totti89228]

But it doesn't even work. In simulation, any high press doesn't work, no fbs move forward no matter the tactical instructions. So it's just another thing that is glitched and needs tuning

[@StefaanLeleu]

I also copied the simulation sliders into a custom slider set and adjusted them. I play on World Class difficulty and while the CPU has quite a bit of shots on goal, my goalkeepers seems to save them all. The CPU only seemed to score from rebound of goalkeeper saves, when the goalie's already down. So I adjusted the slider to make the goalkeeper save less shots, which seems to have helped. I also hate how the CPU just keeps on running with the ball without playing the ball around looking for an opening. So I decreased CPU dribbling frequency to 10 and increased CPU first touch pass frequency. That doesn't seem to do much though.

[@trza49er]

I thought they were pretty good overall, the sprint speed was ultimately too low for me. I found 40 to be the sweet spot, where guys weren't flying around, but also they weren't in that hamster wheel where their legs are moving disproportionately fast compared to the amount of ground they're covering.

[@jamesellis3535]

Set my sliders same as simulation apart from run frequency which I raised to 70 because players just refused to go forward otherwise.

[@Yorkiemann]

Yeah I have notice the Ai sometimes just pass it around the back for long periods not noticed it as much since changing the Ai behaviour but I will keep this in mind.

[@jamesellis3535]

@@Yorkiemann noticed that too. In my Blackburn career was beating Oxford 3-0 but their defenders were happy to keep passing the ball to each other in their own half with no interest in attacking. Ewood Park is in the game now yet Portman Road isn’t. Strange that. Maybe EA know something we don’t.

Its nice cuz every game feels different.. more realistic.. u can tell difference between playing vs a top club vs a small weaker club.. huge difference

[@Yorkiemann]

Yeah I’ve noticed I can get absolutely spanked by the bigger teams

[@100percentSNAFU]

I'm still having the same problems as old versions of the game where weaker teams are overpowered and stronger teams are underpowered. When I see a game coming up on the schedule against one of the bottom teams in the league I expect it to be not just ridiculously hard but also rigged against me with bad officiating and untackleable and uncatchable opponents.

[@stedgeHENDERSOn]

I like to play slow buildup and I find the Simulation run frequency unusable, there's only so many times I can have my players ignore my run request and pass it sideways in a flat midfield 3 before I uninstall

[@jammyjam123]

Fr bro there’s no forward runs at all, defensively the game is good tho

[@100percentSNAFU]

AI behavior sliders seem broken in my experience. I started out with tactical setting and had the same problems you describe. I checked them during a few matches and saw the sliders for tackle aggression and skill moves cranked up to 98, which made it unplayable with 53 rated opponents making moves like Pelé, and every AI player lunging at me recklessly when I had the ball. Changed it to custom with everything set at 50 and nothing seemed to change.

[@ricardobetances5461]

You have to make sure to change the gameplay settings in the main menu AND in career mode settings. They also have to be exactly the same changes or nothing will change. Idk it’s like this but it is.

[@mattwestgaming]

I'm using simulation settings as well lots of low scoring matches the only issue i've had is the lack of sprint speed so fast players have little to no effect. I've noticed the passing being slower etc doesn't seem to effect the ai as much as it does your players.

[@Yorkiemann]

I think tweaking the acceleration slider for user could help with that

[@ricardo.93]

What value are you using now?

[@Yorkiemann]

@@ricardo.93 im still using base acceleration and ive had no issues but if i did i would most likely put the user 1 or 2 higher then the cpu

I play with simulation, and the Ai part on dynamics, and with legendary difficulty, is very close to reality and I enjoy it more this year.

[@Yorkiemann]

Hmm might have to try it I found at points in a game it would change to user having 100 skill move and it just annoyed me.

[@paulfosu7761]

It's too hard

[@calbaughan23]

Yo man, do you find when you changed the AI behaviour to custom it made it repetitive when playing the same team? Or even game to game or did you notice a difference? I currently use dynamic AI behaviour but haven’t tried anything else yet.

[@josefelfinito6925]

Good one.. I've been doing this because I can't play EA football game without tweaking the sliders. The default was made for kids. The freedom EA gave in fc 25 is good nice one. Now we're in full control of how the game play now. The folks that are still complaining out there have no idea they actually can control everything now.

[@rich_884]

These look really good, going to try them and hope to find a good balance. Really looking forward to something in the middle of world class and legendary. I’m too good for world class but not you’re good enough for legendary. So hard to find a balance

[@florinnorocel3643]

If I play on Professional difficulty, I don't have challenge. If i go for world class i can't touch the ball . The Ai is passing like crazy even if they have more first touch error that user. Also sometimes i feel like my players are from cardboard. Ai team is so strong. I do a tackle after tackle and the ball is also on the opponent

[@dinono10]

As pes player. This is also my problem 😂

[@lessthanpinochet]

Increasing cpu first touch error up to 80 makes the AI way less strong. If you keep it at 50, its extremely difficult to steal the ball even with 2 on 1 pressing.

[@Yorkiemann]

This is a good suggestion

[@SandrosCoronado]

Same here.Playing City and Liverpool is a fucking nightmare.

[@ianfawcett3298]

Very interesting stream and interested in your evolution of the settings. So for AI teams to exploit their custom slider settings the AI team has to have the ability in the first place? For example will Rovers v Morecambe see Morcambe play at a Premier level because of the AI sliders? Looking for the next instalment. Comments welcome. Oh and Travis injured in game 4 and out for 3 months

[@Yorkiemann]

So far from playing bigger sides feel far better then the weaker sides do I’m not sure if this will translate to the lower leagues but I came feel the difference when playing a Man City or Liverpool to say Southampton.

[@AHFootball-v5z]

I have a Liverpool career on the base simulation settings but with dynamic AI behaviour and I’m not even in january and had 3/4 bad injuries on key players(Gakpo,Robertson,McAllister,each for 2-3 months). So there are injuries, at least for me…

[@christosbaltovanis1809]

After adjusting the CPU behaviour,have you seen differences between teams or all of them play the same? Do the team tactics actually make a difference or the CPU behaviour sliders have a bigger impact? I have just tried until now tactical and dynamic and I am afraid by adjusting the CPU behaviour that every opponent will feel the same...

[@Yorkiemann]

So it’s a very small sample size but I’ve played a promoted side and found it’s far easier then played a tittle challenger and massively struggled and lost the game so it doesn’t seem that the better teams do still feel different.

[@John-cd7pp]

It’s far too easy when your team gets momentum and players are in form. Playing on ultimate and feels like world class from fifas gone by

[@seihyuni]

I've been seeing many folks saying to put AI Behaviour Sliders to Custom and to leave everything on 50. The rationale was that on tactical, AI changes the gameplay. Leaving it on custom allows for games to be based on player attributes and team tactics. If AI gets a boost, it can cause low table teams to start playing like prime Barcelona like you stated. Lots of folks are using Simulation Sliders with Custom AI Behaviour sliders and leaving everything on 50.

[@Yorkiemann]

I’ve been having a lot more fun since moving to custom for sure he big teams are still a massive struggle but o find it’s far better balanced.

[@hectorvalencia6971]

I’m sure you’ve played a lot since this comment,would u say it’s best to leave it at 50 or copy these settings?I like it’s being competitive I play on ultimate also

[@Yorkiemann]

@@hectorvalencia6971 I still use similar to what I use in this video but I would recommend leaving them on 50 and then tweaking from there if you don’t get many tackles and want more up the tackle aggression up and the same for the rest to cater to a play style you like most.

[@nooby900]

does shot Shot Error to the left decrease accuracy or to the right decrease accuracy? same question with the Pass Error.

[@Yorkiemann]

no it works the other way round so basically if you increase shot error they will be more likely to miss and the same for pass error if you increase there will be more wayward passes if you decrease the ai will be more accurate hope this helps

[@SandrosCoronado]

Playing Man City and Liverpool on World Class is just 90 mins defending panic no matter what formation or tactics I use. Think i'm gonna go custom AI behaviour using the recommended settings towards the end of this video.

The injury thing is just not true. I just had 5 out of 15 games where my players were getting injured. Varied from 5 day injuries to 3 months. I think I had between 5-8 injuries in the span of these games playing with Osasuna in Spain. Devestating for my season, but fun for the experience.

[@Yorkiemann]

I’m just going off my experience and past experiences I’ve still only had one injury over two saves but it’s great to see lots of other people are finding them selfs in situations where they have several players out.

[@100percentSNAFU]

I'm just getting minor injuries. Nothing major yet. I think a lot of the dynamic for injury frequency is not just in the slider settings but also depends on player stamina. Players lower in stamina during a match will get injured more easily. Using a stamina intensive tactic like counterattack or a high pressing will drain stamina quicker, or of course if you are not rotating the squad enough and playing the same players every match their stamina will drain quicker over time. I'm not really having the issue yet because I rotate a lot and I use a more possession based tactic and don't really press much so my players stamina stays reasonable. I am only in November in my first save but in older versions of the game I did notice that as you get further into the season more players will get injured and stamina burns off quicker regardless of your tactics. That's actually fairly realistic.

[@Yorkiemann]

@@100percentSNAFU hmm be interesting to see if they get more now I’m in season two

Are you using tactics that use a lot of stamina, and/or are you having issues with the training not getting your players up to full stamina? I have noticed that low stamina can be a big factor in players getting long term injuries. If they are tired they are more likely to get injured, and it's often more major injuries of the many months sort rather than the few days sort.

Try decreasing user first touch error, and increase CPU first touch error. It doesn't just effect first touch, it's really effects reaction in 50/50 and you will feel less cheated byvthe AI. Just don't over do the imbalance and make it too easy for you.

[@hectorvalencia6971]

You have to use the assist defense mechanic,especially double tapping the button,it makes to where your defenders run to their guy and leave them no room u have to press or they’ll stand like idiots,also maybe increase the marking on the sliders so that they can play them closer with no interaction from u
