Gaming Fifa 10

I would give anything to know how the feck I find out my WEP key.

Stupid tosser previous housemate has managed to set all this up and remove the sticker off the bottom of the router. Tosser.

normally you can find it by going to your router manager, which is normally found by typing something like 192.168.1.254 in the address bar

if you connect by CAT-5 Cable (network cable) and can get a network connection you can type ipconfig in the command prompt (Start> Run > cmd > Enter) and the address to put in your browser will generally be the default gateway.
 
Cheers for the games there James. My finishing is so bad it's unreal.
 
I think I missed 3 open goals in the first game. Was just ridiculous.
 
I'm still getting the old chestnut of not being able to connect to certain people. Bloody homehub, need to find out how to sort that out. My NAT settings are constantly on strict.
 
:lol: just played a match against Sevilla that was 2 - 2 at the end of 90 minutes, and in extra time I took the elad through a michael owen goal.

He sets his thing to full offence, I break and he brings down Owen in the box for a penalty and rage quits during the players protesting animation

without consequence the real part of human nature emerges eh?

Seems there have been one or two issues with manager mode

1) The Manager Mode freezing bug (where you can’t progress without your console locking up) is still there. One person has suffered from this and noticed that in his last save before this occurs, one of his strikers has no name and next to the form icon it says “-10118”.

2) It has been reported that transfers “lock” altogether after a certain amount of seasons (being linked to a disc problem).

3) All teams below the Premier League have their tactics set to all-70s. Applies to other leagues/teams as well, see Australia, Brazil and others.

4) All assists are credited to the goalkeeper.

5) Players you loan out can be sold by the clubs you loaned them to.

6) Newly signed players vanish from your squad with no warning. They just disappear, and then if you look them up they’re playing for someone else.

7) When trying to sign a second loan player, sometimes I am told by the game that I already have two – when I only have one.

When signing two loan players, I then tried to (permanently) sign two free agents, and I’m told I can’t sign them because I “already have two players on loan”.

9) 90% of matches in England are played at night in the rain regardless of stadium choice. I’ve yet to see a match played in the daytime with sunny weather.

10) Seasonal changes don’t seem to affect the weather. So in England, in the summer, you will see rain and even snow with no games being played in sunshine.

11) Signing players is practically impossible, even when offering maximum wages and maximum bonuses, even if you can get their interest level up to 85%+. (Even if you start out as a manager with no reputation, you should be able to sign really poor players with no reputation who aren’t getting first-team football elsewhere.)

12) Signing your own players is just as difficult, regardless of how well the team is doing. They refuse to sign even when you offer the maximum wages allowed. But if you wait until the end of the season, you get the same screen you get in FIFA 09 where you can just tick a box to re-sign a player and they will sign for peanuts! Strange one!

13) The board sack you even if you occupy first place. You can expect to be fired at the mid-way point of the season if you lose a cup game, even if you’re in the top four of the league, especially in the Premier League. Even in the lower leagues, I’ve seen situations where games are won 6-0 every week for months and suddenly you’re fired the moment you draw 1-1.

14) When playing against teams who are better than you, your board always expect you to beat that team. I mostly play as a League 1 team, and if I’m beaten by a Championship or Premier League side I get a board comment that states I was “expected to win the game”, and occasionally you will get the sack for this. This may be because teams aren’t recognised in their correct division; for example, when losing against a team from the league above you, you will occasionally get a message that says you should have done better against “lower league opposition”.

15) The assistant manager, even when turned off, will sometimes swap your players around.

16) The assistant manager AI is terrible. It will choose players with no fitness (10%-20%) to play out of position, over players with 100% fitness who can play in that position. See below for more info.

17) The AI management of other clubs is terrible. Examples; Chelsea play Terry at LB with Cole at CB in the same match, Man Utd play Vidic and Ferdinand as LB/RB with Brown and Evra as CBs in the same match, Giggs gets played at LB occasionally, etc. etc. etc.

The effect of form is far too severe. It makes your team go up/down by a whole star rating within a few games, so with a 3 star team you can yoyo to 2 star and weeks later 4 star.

19) The form system seems to be totally random. I can win 2-3 games in a row by 2-3 goals and the form will get worse. A striker can score six goals in a game and his form will DROP!

20) I’ve seen one injury in two seasons; Marcel promised this lack of injuries – and especially this lack of SERIOUS injuries – was fixed for FIFA 10. This is simply not true.

21) Injuries don’t last for a long enough period of time. For example, a hamstring injury should keep a player out for a month – in FIFA 10 it’s a week.

22) When playing in the snow the ball used is white, which is incredibly difficult to see, and you can’t change the ball yourself.

23) Only 5 benched substitutes are allowed in FIFA 10 below the Premier League. All English league and cup competitions now allow 7 substitutes in reality.

24) Friendly games should allow 12 substitutes on the bench (and also you should be allowed to use all 12). Currently it’s restricted to 7 on the bench (with only 3 substitutions allowed).

25) Friendly games include matches against teams in your own division. This doesn’t usually happen in reality.

26) FA Cup games are all played at night when they’re only ever played in the daytime now, including the final.

27) The shortlist was supposed to allow up to 20 players to be stored, but seems to only allow 10 players.

The overall rating of a player changes before/during the game. So if one of my strikers has an overall rating of 83 (including his form), when I pause the game and go to Team Management his rating can drop by 10+. What value is actually being used by the game? The pre-game rating or the paused-game rating?

29) Form should never affect physical attributes. For example, a striker who is on hot form wouldn’t see his strength increase.

30) Playing as a League 1/2 team, you have literally no fit players left after 3-5 games of the season. I don’t care how bad your fitness coach is, a group of professional players would have enough players fit to start a game after 3-5 games of the season. (You’re forced to spend £1m to upgrade your fitness coach to a realistic level.)

31) The league table that shows up at the start of each game is never correct (same as FIFA 09). It always shows you in 6th-9th position regardless of whether you’re in the top half or the bottom half of the table, and your opponents are shown in an incorrect position as well.

32) When simming games instead of playing them, two things to note. Firstly, the level of your fitness coach isn’t taken into account, so the players lose 25%-75% more fitness than they should. Secondly, when simming, you actually get to see some injuries! Plus they last for a decent period of time (e.g. metacarpal fracture, player out for four weeks)!

33) When you have a player injured, the game forces you to remove him from your team before going to the pre-game screen. You don't want to remove him from your first-choice team, you want to remove him at the pre-match team management screen, like in FIFA 09. But now you can't do that.

34) Often you are not told why a player has refused to sign for you. No explanation is given on the Negotiation History screen for these players and it seems that they are never permitted to sign for your club, for no apparent reason. You never get an explanation for the affected players.

35) Sometimes when trying to sign a player they’ll say e.g. they get a “bad vibe” from your current players. Try to sign them again next week and they’ll sign for you. Doesn’t make much sense.

36) You can list a player for sale/loan who is garbage, e.g. 42 overall when the rest of the players in your squad/division are 60+, and instantly you get offers from the top teams in your division/country for him. Sometimes even top-flight teams from other countries make an offer; they have no possible reason to loan in a player who is literally twice as bad as any other player they have. It seems that every player you ever list you MUST receive an offer for, even if they are terrible, and it’s always a good team that has no need for a poor player which shows interest.

37) As a manager with a reputation level of half-a-star, you sometimes get comments from the board that “a manager of your calibre should be performing better”.

You lose respect with the board when losing a game on penalties. You should be given the same increase/decrease you would be given for a draw rather than a win/loss in these circumstances.

39) The leader of the assist list seems to be the player who keeps the most clean sheets.
 
and more

40) Players who are substituted show no ratings at full-time. So if my striker gets a hat-trick and I substitute him, his rating is blank after the game. (Yet substituted players can receive Man of the Match awards, so a rating must be getting calculated by the game? I presume they’re just not being displayed?)

41) Goals/assists that occur in cup competitions, e.g. the FA Cup, aren’t counted in the player’s statistics.

42) When scouted players are presented to you for purchase, they are always said to play on the opposite side to their preferred foot. For example, a left winger will always be shown to prefer their right foot. Yet if you buy the player, most of the time, they will actually prefer the appropriate foot.

43) Some players will sign for a club and then the next week they’ll have signed for somebody else!

44) When searching for players their form ratings are displayed, rather than their actual ratings. This means you have no idea what the player’s actual ratings are.

45) When selling a player, the whole squad gets moved around. Player roles are also moved around.

46) When buying a player, they are given a squad number already in use, and it messes up the squad numbers for the entire team. Why can’t they be given a number that isn’t in use?

47) Stadia never fill up with people. I can play a Champions League match against a five-star team and all stands will still have large empty sections.

Player search parameters constantly reset when searching for a player. So if you search for e.g. a defender rated 60-70, then you want to search for a midfielder with the same rating, the parameters have been reset meaning you have to input them again.

49) Occasionally the wrong stadium picture is displayed pre-game. For example when playing at the Emirates a picture of (what looked to be) the training ground was displayed.

50) Creating a player (not a Virtual Pro) to sign in your Manager Mode career seems incredibly difficult/buggy. If you create a player and assign him to the free agents pool, the game freezes. If you assign him to a national team, he doesn’t show up as a free agent in Manager Mode. If you assign him to a national team and THEN move him to the free agents pool, you won’t be able to find him anywhere but in the “Created Players” section and you’ll see that his assigned team is referred to as something like "team1932as12309" – you can’t then find this team/player in Manager Mode to sign the player.

51) Commentary gaffes happen every 1-2 games, e.g. “5 minutes to go and they lead 1-0” when it’s 1-1, “I have to say he’s on one of the worst runs of his career” when he’s already scored in the match you’re playing, etc. etc. etc. and also, when playing as your Virtual Pro, you find the commentary refers to you scoring your 20th goal every time you score once you’ve reached that point. So for example when you score your 21st goal the commentator will say it’s your 20th, etc. (not sure if this only applies to Manager Mode or other modes as well).

NEW ONES

52) People playing as League Two teams (e.g. Bury) are reporting that they are not entered into the English league cup competition.

53) Sometimes strange things happen with the amount of transfer funds. One person reported going from having millions to spend to being over ONE BILLION in debt. CLICK HERE

54) For the new season you're supposed to receive new transfer funds and a new wage budget to reflect new income for that season. People are reporting they start the new season with the same money they ended the last one. CLICK HERE

55) In the Squad Management screen before a fixture, set it to display the OVR rather than fatigue bar, then select a reserve and swap him with another reserve. I've seen both of their OVRs change.

56) The Edit Formation screen is buggy. If you nudge one position around, then go to change the role of another position, it thinks the second position is where the first is. Sometimes it'll move it so they overlap, and you have to drag it back to where you want it. This was also the case in FIFA 09.

57) The OVR number disappeared from a player's bio. It used to be next to the player's list of positions. Why has it been removed?

Your board can give you an objective, e.g. avoid relegation, but you're given no indication as to where the relegation zone is, e.g. playing as a Polish league side the board objectives for the first season are to get to the QF of the cup and to "aviod the relegation zone". Where is it? Bottom 3? Bottom 2? I'm in position 14 out of 16, how are we supposed to know if that's safe?

59) The board will often tell you to invest in new players, when the transfer window is closed and there's nothing you can do about it.

60) When saving a Manager Mode game, when it's finished saving, why are you prompted to save your profile as well? This is with autosave turned on!

61) The Belgian league is missing playoffs.

62) The new Europa League format is not in the game.

63) Incorrect teams make it into European competition. As someone has said, "I got 4th in career mode but a team that ended up 12th goes to europa league while I don't". CLICK HERE

Bit bollocks of EA really.
 
Haha. fecking brilliant that. Sort it the feck out EA you incompetent cnuts.
 
I'm playing be a pro seasons as my virtual pro at Man Utd. Started in the reserves and the back four was this,

Evans - Neville - Fabio - De Laet

Also if i made myself a CM i was played at left wing! Bloody thing.
 
First ranked game on FIFA 10 and I go 5-0 in under 20 minutes. He subsequently leaves.
 
Next game, I'm United and I choose out home kit. He goes the Spanish red kit. Stupid bellend.

Same thing happened me. It's very annoying cause the wings are shit in Be a Pro. CM and ST are the 2 best positions to play.
 
3 games played 3 wins so far. Latest one the guy messaged me: your a bit of a loser playing this all day. I responded: you're a bit of a shitter.
 
I left early. Just lied about being ill. Can't stand to be in there. The woman I work with drives me up the fecking wall.

On another note. How fecking terrible are the referees in this game?
 
I've stopped now. I don't find 1-on-1's with random people enjoyable anymore. Would much rather play a friend or a club game.

Club games are where it's at i really enjoyed the games we had last night. Apart from the throwing away a 3-0 lead bit :D

Probably going to be having my first dabble online tonight. Do i take it you've already got a club on the go?
 
:lol: another rage quit.

Some dude that had Wolfsburg chosen as his default team, but they weren't good enough for me so he went Real. I'm 2 - 0 up after some sexually good football and I'm tearing him to shreds. He quits, blaming lag, because apparently it's alright for me to play in a laggy environment but not him
 
If i'm panning someone i'd rather they quit than force me to play out a boring win.
 
Sharky, I've sent you a friend request.

Carl, we do have a club going now. There was 8 of us online last night playing together! If you are on tonight there should be a party going, just join that.
 
SERIOUSLY THE REFEREES? How can you play an advantage in a penalty box you daft cnut?
 
Yeah mate, there's a thread on it just below this one. Search for redcafe and we're the only team on the list.

Is that for the one where you create your own player though? I'm not really into that football fashion wheel stuff, just the clubs thing like in 09.

Cool. I should be on for a bit, until the mrs comes round and makes me spend time with her :mad:
 
It is the one where you create your own player. It's surprisingly fun though. Give it a chance.

It seems a bit gay though and means i have to create myself and all that lot and i really can't be arsed :)

How do you make him good? By playing online or do you put him at a club and then play as that club in SP? I havent looked into it much as you can see :p
 
You don't have to spend ages putting stat points in or whatever. Just change the appearance/height. Add a name and you're done. He improves playing the club games and using him for manager mode/be a pro.

My problem is though i find single player insanely boring so would only see him improve playing in the clubs, which he would get left behind in because i don't have the time to invest in making him half decent.

I'll give it a whirl all the same though. Should i bother with uploading my Game Face?
