Gaming FIFA 17

Xbox Redcafe FC promoted already. Over to you, PS4 numpties....
We're in division 7 I think...
 
Well that is the last time I pre order through Amazon. Estimated date of delivery is Monday ffs!
 
As predicted yesterday, despite enjoying Pro Evo so far, on the way to work I stopped at the very first shop I drove past today to pick up FIFA (decent price too, Morrisons selling for £38 plus 10% off if you've got UniDays) and I've booked the afternoon off so will get stuck in a few hours.
 
Any reasons to buy a physical copy and not download it? Is Ultimate Team on, it's all I play...
 
FUT this year is as sweaty as ever. Feel like I'm playing the same game over and over again. Thankfully I know Co-ops and pro clubs is much better this year. Regular season seems far more enjoyable as well.

Same as. I felt bad but bought the Super Deluxe addition this year. Started building my cheap BBVA team and selling all the catalogue items. I love the feeling of building a brand new squad.

I hear you bro. If anyone goes a goal up it's park the bus time....and probably some time wasting. Hearing rumours Mousa if the most sweaty player on the game right now.

It's really annoying, because I love building a team, and applying chemistry styles to players to adapt to how I would like each player to perform. I just wish it wasn't so pedal to the medal all the time.

It's just ridiculously end-to-end. No build up play at all. If you hang on to the ball for any amount of time, you can easily get dispossessed, then you are screwed as the defence has pushed up and the CDM has gone on walkies leaving the defence totally vulnerable to the counter.

The only way to combat this is to literally pass the ball first time all the time due to the degenpress from the opponent, which just doesn't happen in football.
 
Grabbed it this morning in Argos and made a 20 euro saving on the game and PSN subscription fee. Gamestop wanted 70 euro for it I am so done buying all my games there now.
 
I like how Marcus Rashford is an authenticity consultant in the Journey.

It really should just be called Be Rashford mode
 
Thought I'd give this a go. Took me 10 minutes to find a seasons game with United. When I finally found a game it got stuck while loading and I had to quit the game. Not the best of starts for me.
 
I'm going to play it pack only again this year, adds a bit of longetivity and makes things interesting.
 
Has anybody downloaded the Fifa Companion App for Android/IPhone? I'd recommend it. The squad building challenges are good and it passes time if you're bored on your lunch break.
 
Ordered it on Amazon, still waiting for it to come, pretty frustrating.
 
Have this in my car, gonna play a bit after work. I've already played in EA Access but it's sort of different because I did not go into competitive online play as I knew record would not carry over to PS4.
 
Started a Journey playthrough on Amateur just to see what happened if Alex Hunter was like Messi on steroids in every game.

Obvious spoilers below:
After 12 goals and several assists in the three pre-season games (two as a sub) I still didn't start the first PL game.
I ace every single training drill and still don't make the jump to starter.
After five goals and five assists as a sub in two PL games United sign Harry Kane as their star striker in Ibra's absence (due to injury)
Gareth Walker gets picked in my position (CAM) because he's "a better fit for the system" and I get sent out on loan.

The most unrealistic part? Harry Kane gets the number 10 shirt. I have no idea where Rooney is but he's somehow been successfully fecked off.

What a shite mode.

Yeah been building my squad whilst at work. Wish I booked the day off now!

The companion apps have always been great, they are giving out daily gifts too.
 
In FIFA 15 you could press the RB button (on Xbone) to stop with the ball, it made turning and dribbling much easier.
What do y'all use to stop the ball?

Also does pressing the right trigger still work when receiving a pass to control the ball?
 
Can you not cross the ball along the floor anymore? Last Fifa I played was 15 but I'm sure it worked by tapping the cross button three times.
Yep - single tap is a high cross, double tap is a low cross and triple tap is along the ground.
 
So anybody played any online games yet? How does it feel, similar to the demo still?
 
Ordered it on Amazon, still waiting for it to come, pretty frustrating.

Me too mate. I have an estimated delivery of Monday, despite ordering it months ago!

Dropped into Tesco on my way home from work and walked passed about 50 copies of it as well. feck Amazon.

That's a bit crap, mine came about half hour after I posted that.
 
Made the big mistake of buying it off the Xbox store, 40gb will take a daft amount of time on uni Internet

Why don't you just cancel the order? I'm in a position where I can't cancel my pre order from GameStop, my only option is to buy the game again from the store and send the shipped copy back to them. Too much hassle so I'll wait until tomorrow. It better fecking come.
 
How's the offline experience on this? Anyone who has played a bit of career mode?

I can't cancel it mate. It was sent yesterday and the estimated delivery date is the 3rd of October.
