FIFA 16: Have Pro Clubs Been Improved

I personally consider Pro Clubs to be my favourite game mode in FIFA. There is just something about getting a little group together to control individual players.

However from the feedback fut16coin has seen on message boards and YouTube videos, it appears pro clubs remains largely the same as it has for many years now. It’s no surprise of course, EA have chosen to place most of their focus on their money maker, FUT. But clearly Pro Clubs has always had potential to be a top game mode but that potential just hasn’t and probably will never be unlocked.

Do you guys play Pro Clubs? And are you disappointed that very little promotion has gone into giving this game mode exposure once again with essentially little improvement made to make it better?

I will devote time to this game mode again because I like the social side of it but clearly the number of people playing this is far less than in other modes and you can’t blame people for not playing when it’s just a copy and paste deal every year. There are many broken mechanics in the way the AI function and that for one deserves to be resolved yet is simply neglected time and time again.

I think it defeats the purpose of Pro Clubs. Having a good ANY player or a bad ANY doesn’t change anything in the case of my point. You can control a whole team in career mode or ultimate team and that’s where my thoughts lie on that.

Of course, as I said, the matchmaking should be flawless by now so that I wouldn’t ever need to play an ANY ever again as my team plays with an AI and we’re often matched against an ANY despite using the correct filtering methods. If it actually worked at least I would forget an ANY even existed.

As for the gameplay, yes that’s a priority along with fixes to matchmaking before we even contemplate removing ANY altogether. But I don’t really see how we need to rely on overall gameplay improvements to improve the core gameplay of Pro Clubs. It’s clear Pro Clubs runs differently to other modes. You’re relying on an AI for starters if you play with an AI like intended. It’s a unique Fifa 16 coins systems. Their behaviours and intelligence need a specific coding overhaul. You don’t worry about the goalkeeper literally doing the same stupid goal kick all the time because you control everyone on any other mode. Its that kind of thing I mean.

Sure FIFA gameplay in general is flawed – OP Finesse shots, OP headers, OP sweaty goals. These are all things that have ruined FIFA but that’s nothing to do with Pro Clubs.
