Gaming FIFA 17
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
You see this is the part where one waits for a genuine answer. First year in FUT so ..bless you.
Yes but they're insulting. Mini bronze packs and shit like that.
So you get the bigger rewards by completing those squad building challenges?
Yeah sorry, didn't intend to be a dick. I just found the idea of EA giving away things humorous.
80k down the drain. Did one of the untradable totw's and one of the tradable ones since I only got Michael keane from the first try, got Dempsey from the second feck it, didn't really care too much about the bit of coins I had left over. Might try the untradable one one more time as I have 30k left.
Edit: Got Keane again. lovely.

Same mate. I got Dempsey and then Vela. It's just a complete con. The odds of getting that Ronaldo is less than 1% despite it being 1 of 22 players.
I knew that but still went for it. Thing is that I already have 2 pretty complete teams, and the only thing I really would've done with the 100k was get De Gea to replace Lloris, but that's minor and other then that I would need like 300k at least for upgrades. So not that fussed. Plus I got OTW Pogba from that one untradable otw sbc they had a few months ago on my first try, so figured my luck might be in

Yeah I'm in the same position and got OTW Kante from that untradable.
Tbf keane actually looks like a decent player so I'll use him to replace Bailly. Better then Dempsey at least!
Do you think the prices will go back up?
I sold Son and Bolasie yesterday for 400k, you can buy them both right now 332k.

Yeah they always drop when promo packs are coming thick and fast and when big SBCs are on.
I refuse to believe this slump is just bad finishing or bad luck. On my life, in the last 5 games I've had 20+ six yard misses, save off the line by defenders, lashed wide, off the post and best of all: Son just got out paced by Mertesacker when Son had around 70% energy and Mertesacker has around 40%. They need to gut this momentum bollocks out of the game, it's ridiculous.
Seconded, experienced it a few times as well, especially when Im leading. Went up 4-0, the guy gets back 4-2, he gets all the momentum and uses the driven finish which glitches the keeper making you concede useless goals, and gone is the victory, its so annoying. 70% of the goals I concede are directly after scoring, it's so infuriating.
I just lost another 2-1 after leading to the 80th minute. 16 shots and 10 on target to his 3/2. Some 81 rated keeper making worldies all game.
Have the same problem numerous times, I dont think I am a bad finisher but when I lode, I have had twife as many shots and shots on target at least, the 1st chance the opponent get, its in. It doesnt help that I just figured out why people have such a shit bench, to lower their team average and play against weaker teams. The system is corrupt.
I feel like low driven has been massively nerfed. I cant score them at all now since the last update
Has anyone played career with a lower league club?
After signing everyone with United and winning the treble, I decided to be Gillingham and have found it very hard. I'd sometimes create open goals and they'd still miss! And you get like 500k to spend
Focused on my youth team in the hope they'll all come close to their potential and turn into a PL standard team. (One of them is amazingly good) but I have Sam Johnstone and Tuzanebe on loan who are by far my best players at 70ovl
I really appreciate how big the PL teams are now

FIFA is fu#king with me today. Must have lost about 10 in a row. Everytime I take the lead, I concede within 2 minutes and have conceded in injury time in about half of these matches. Days like these are so irritating

See my posts above. Exactly the same. The amount of one on one or 6 yard shots that have been scuffed or saved is ridiculous. The bullshit momentum finally reset for me earlier and I won 4-0 5-1 and 3-0 in a row.
Played against Neymar-Suarez- Messi- Ronaldo-Bale constantly with Boateng/Smalling/European Ramos and de Gea-Neuer, every team I play had a combination of these players, I have tried the bench trick, reducing my team to 80 overaall and still have to play 86 overall teams who have their bench reduced as well, FIFA is just massively fecking me, all those guys using driven finishes as well. Lost I think 2 or 3 in a row, just an awful scripted game. Bye elite 3.
Three times I've took the lead and three times I've been disconnected to the EA servers. Should be 10-0 ffs.
Easily the best player I've used in this game. I'm playing with him on 8 chem and he's still amazing.

My boy.
Ultimate Team is such a horrible game mode and hugely scripted.
I played it a lot in FIFA 14 and told myself never again after a few months. It's a waste of time because you will always come up against 14 year old kids who have spent huge amounts on daddy's credit card and have a team consisting of Messi, Bale, Neymar, Ronaldo etc zzzzzz.
It's bad for football gaming because PES is also heading down that route now with the dreadful myClub mode.
This is why the proper football modes like Career are mostly ignored by EA/Konami now. FUT/myClub is their cash cow and it's what's all the kids play.
Football gaming could be so much better, it really annoys me.
Perisic (85, IF, LW) Higuain ( 93, IF, ST) Cuadrado (83, RW)
Icardi (88, IF, CAM)
Pjanic(85, CM) Nainggolan(85, CM)
Alex Sandro(84, LB) Chiellini(88, CB) Bonucci(87, CB) Dani Alves(85, RB)
Buffon(88, GK)
This is the FUT team I'm supposed to be playing with this weekend. You guys reckon I could get a decent rank or is the game too rigged to hope for much?

Some of these fut birthday cards are 87 Nani from Fifa 2011 I think at 220k, then 86 rated Ashley Cole at 58k (which isn't bad at all, just link him with Alli and Smalling or something), 84 rated Abate who was always OP, then obviously those Torres and David Villa cards (though a lot pricier). Oh and of course, 90 rated Eto'o who was the best striker on Fifa for a few years.
Others that I wouldn't mind at all: Candreva, Muriel, then you can't forget the old Darren Bent and Gabby Agbonlahor cards. From memory, think it was fifa 2011 that one of the teams I used had that Bent and Agbonlahor up top, Young/ Nani or Valencia on the wings and then whoever else. Low rated, cheap but was beastly.

Shame they've made Bent and Agbonlahor useless with their work rates.
Had my best ever start on WL yesterday and early today. Went 21-3 so needed 8 from 16 to finally make elite. Lost 4 in a row though after the game started to play so crap it was untrue. I noticed it start this morning and decided I'd turn it off and come back to it later but it has just carried on from there. Fitting 12 games in tomorrow is going to be almost impossible without the Mrs moaning at me so I better make elite otherwise I'm going to flip!
Best thing I ever did buying him. More than a goal a game! And with Kane behind him having a combined goal/assist of over a goal a game I'm doing so much better!
Need to make a decision soon though. I've currently got 2 teams.
Cortouis
Bellerin Bailly Smalling Moreno
Kante Eriksen 88
Kane 88
Willian 86 Son 86 Sanchez
And
Vercoutre (reward)
Juanfran Varane Umtiti Alba
N'Zonzi (reward) Modric
Isco 88
Bale Griezmann Carrasco 87
Do I sell one team and make the other amazing or do I carry on grinding to try and have 2 top teams?
If I sold my prem team I could get the sbc Suarez, Neymar, Ramos and 86 Varane.
If I sold my la Liga team I'd probably add Pogba and IF Walker to my prem team but I don't know what else I'd do??
Opinions please people.
Personally I'm sick of BPL teams so I'd go with La Liga and add SBC Suarez but forget Neymar he ain't all that. SIF Carrasco is much better. Maybe you could do a BPL/BBVA hybrid with Smalling, Pogba?
Some how dropped from division 3rd (never been higher) all the way to 6th and was still struggling.
Sold all my team and went with a 433 with DM. I am like a different player, defiantly suits me!
------------------------if diego lopez

Let's us know how you get on.
Had a wedding on Friday so managed to fit in a few games yesterday (13-2) but only gone and left 25 for today. This will be such a stressful day lol
I need 6 from 8 now which I just can't see happening at all. Never flopped so much so quickly before but it makes sense as I never manage to make elite so don't know why I expected any different

Ah shit haha. I've chocked hard as well. Gone from 13-2 to 19-8
Looks like gold 1 for me...can't seem to get a run of games going.
Currently on 26 wins with 4 games left so need to win 3 of them! Really can't see it happening to be honest as it seems I'm destined to make gold 1 every week!
Mate that's not bad. You can easily still do it! I'm now on 22-9. So need 7 wins from 9 for Elite 3. Can we swap positions please!?
I was in that position lol! Managed to play 1 more earlier and win so now I need 2 from 3. Gunna use training cards and everything to get me through them I think
Maybe it's just superstition but I find that if I put a +all stats on my GK he turns porus.
Well I did it last game and he made a top save in the last minute to keep my win going.
I'll be so nervous trying to get these last 2 wins though!
