FIFA 16: 10 Common Complaints (That Are Total Bullsh*t)

3. "Pace Is The Only Thing That Matters"

In one of my first online games that I didn't actually outright suck at I received a rather stern message from my opponent accusing me of "pace abusing". At the time I had no idea what this even meant, but I'd soon learn that overusing players with a high pace attribute is one of the series' biggest cardinal sins. But while yeah, faster players have an advantage when it comes to pulling off those epic pitch-long dribbles, sprinting and keeping up a player's pace isn't a cheap and easy tactic to employ. Although these players will definitely have an edge when it comes to a counter-attack, there's absolutely no way they're going to be able to worm their way through a well-organised defence. And yet, like anyone who remembers how socially despicable it was to use "noob tubes" in Call of Duty 4, using one of the features that the FIFA games have constantly built upon and perfected over the course of its series has become a tactic that's entirely frowned upon.
