Gaming FIFA 17

Up to 5th division in seasons now. I've had 5 draws in a row! Finding it really hard to break down people.

If you are position A, dribble in the direction the red arrow (so that you're not facing the left corner of the goal) and shoot to the far corner in the direction of the white arrow. Use a driven low shot (power up a shot and press shoot again just before you hit the ball).

If you are position B, dribble so your player facing the far right corner, as the red arrow shows. Then do the exact same as above, but hold R1/RB while you do it. Basically open up your body and do a driven finesse shot far corner.

I can personally guarantee you will never miss another shot in your entire FIFA career, unless you're shit.

:lol: The perks of student life.

I played a fair bit for the first few weeks but haven't played at all since, really. Hasn't been a particularly enjoyable instalment for me thus far.
 
Just got a Lukaku scream card from a Gold Upgrade SBC, must be the best pull I've ever made in FIFA. Untradable but fits straight into my PL side next to Rashford, result.
 
will it work on UT as well?
I'd imagine so. Basically I played a fair few games of Pro Clubs in the first 2-3 weeks and I was finishing more or less every 1 on 1 in the exact same way. I know the FUT mechanics are generally different but if you get used to shooting the right way, I'd imagine you will score more often that not.
 
I have won the draft twice so far. My most expensive player from all these packs? 2.6k. I'm convinced I am the least lucky person in the world when it comes to opening packs.
 
Any tips to creating chances? They've somehow made this game even more dead than Fifa 16. There's literally between 0-1 chances or goals a game.
 
Just messing around UT offline seasons currently. Slimani is some man for the headers. Winston Reid also for corners, both cheap enough and Winston has a little bit of pace compared to other CBs. Not tried online yet though as I'm not as yet used to controlling 11, was always a pro clubs man.

Mix stuff up, through balls with RB, through balls without RB, normal passes, driven passes, different types of crossing, double tap, triple tap etc.
 
Is fifa a lagfest for anyone else this year? Every other game is fine, connection is spot on, but fifa always lags a bit, last game my players wouldn't even respond for 5 seconds which led to the other lad scoring, getting quite annoying now.

That's been the case for a very long time now. It's not surprising to me. I have horrible latency against certain players and tolerable latency against others.

I just opened 2 of those rare mega packs (50k coins) and the best I got was Jeremy Menez... so yeah i might have you beat. Its close at least

Yes, you probably did beat me on that one..
 
Played 22 games so far on seasons. 20 wins and 2 draws but the lag is unbearable which is why I drew the other two games. So many times I want to do a skill move but the game isn't reacting to what I do on my controller. It's driving me insane.
 
How do you get such record? I have 33-18-28 and feel like I'm doing pretty well, division 5 now with good hope to get promoted.

The lag is crazy, after the lag has sorted itself out does it go into fast forward mode, or is that just for me? Many of games on UT it's lagged then gone into fast forward mode and the other player has took the ball off me and attacked.

Been playing Fifa for about 12-13 years now sadly haha. I've practiced all the skill moves and know them off by heart and just have a good feeling for the tendencies of the game. Most important thing for me is that I've played the game so long I know which passes will pull off and which passes wont.

Yes that always happens. Makes playing FUT or Seasons unbearable.
 
The lag makes the FUT Daily Champions tournament so much harder. Ill nearly always get a game with terrible lag so they always just have to run more or less direct at my goal.

They really need to sort out the servers its pathetic from such a big and simple game.
 
They could make UT a lot better by getting rid of the DNF multiplier. You get punished for lagging out of the EA servers.


Is there a mutual quit like in seasons?
 
Just played a 89 rated team with Scholes, Veron, Petit, Ruud, Ronaldo, Blanc, Robben. I really hate these coin buyers with a passion. But got away with a 0-0.
The funny thing is the guys was on PTB/Counter attack. How much of a pussy can some people be with a team like that?
 
Park the bus is a cnut's trick/tactic. If they aren't doing it from the very start, they do it as soon as they go 1-0 up.

I just do not understand this win-or-die mentality in a fecking videogame. I'm up to division 2 with a 89-29-60 record and I don't think I've ever even adjusted the defence/attack settings. I mess around with skills and take stupid shots from 40 yards. Play to have fun, for feck sake.
 
I always go high pressure, then attacking or ultra attacking. Never ever go defensive or counter attack :lol: I always go for a win, a draw disappoints me.
 
The pace of this game on seasons is ridiculous in the top divisions. Almost every game I play is end-to-end stuff with non-stop counterattacking. Sometimes after an hour of gaming my thumb would be sore as feck.
 
Finished my first season in Career mode. I've struck a nice balance with that update, some slider changes and altering the difficulty depending on who I'm playing. I stick it on World Class for most top teams and Professional for most others but I still can lose or draw on Prof if I'm not playing well.

Won the PL and League Cup but couldn't be bothered with the EL so I simmed it and lost in the Semis. Got knocked out the FA Cup by Chelsea.

In Jan/the summer I've sold Mkhitaryan, Mata, Rooney, Memphis, Wilson, Young and Darmian. Ibra's contract wasn't extended and Carrick retired, scoring in his final game and lifitng the PL as Captain.

I've signed Dele Alli, Ousmane Dembele, Oliver Burke, Emre Mor, Julian Weigl and recalled Pereira and Bojack.

Team is now:

de Gea (92)
Bellerin (83) - Smalling (85) - Bailly (84) - Shaw (83)
Weigl (81) - Pogba (92)
Dembele (80) - Alli (83) - Martial (86)
Rashford (82)​

TFM (75), Bojack (74), Herrera (83), Tuanzebe (72), Oxford (70), Blind (82), Valencia (79), Lingard (79), Pereira (74), Burke (72), Mor (69), Johnstone (70)
 
@Solius I'm just starting a career. What slider changes do you recommend?

I'm gonna go much more muppet than you

They were in this thread somewhere. Someone linked a site that had slider settings and I just tweaked them to my preference. Can't remember what they were.
 
Went into full muppet mode. Bought Sanchez, Bellerin, Matuidi, and Griezmann. Lost to Bournemouth in the first game of the season, and just got knocked out of the League Cup by Cheltenham 1-0.

At least it's realistic.
