Gaming FIFA 17

First time ever playing the weekend league, and was at 18 wins with 11 games left. I lost the next 7 games in a row without scoring a single goal, so I'm not thankfully done with Fifa single player after trying out the weekend league. Absolute shite game.

Best thing to do is put the controller down when on a rage. But getting 18 wins with 4 left is brilliant still. You can still get gold 2 and get some pretty decent rewards. Don't give up.
 
So enjoyable crushing a guy 4-1 who scored a lucky 1-0 goal with that filthy Hazard card, dabbing, watching all replays and not even skipping the cutscene where you watch the players go back to their own half. He paused the game in the end as many times as he could just to try and piss me off. Wanker

I never got that. They're only prolonging their own misery. If I'm winning comfortably I will let them do anything they want apart from trying to injure my players. If that happens the ball goes down to my defenders for a bit of van Gaal vintage.

I just played a guy who had the United and City home kits as his active kits. What a cnut. He unsurprisingly raged out at half time after I dominated him completely. I later found out he had Musa on the bench, so you know he was a wanker of the worst kind.
 
Ended the weekend at 26W, my best yet. At some point I was hoping for Elite 3, but I played way too many matches today and my performance dipped.
 
I just played probably my best game of fifa ever. Trashed a guy completely. 5-0 at half time and he started sending me messages. Here's our convo and I need some translation. Guessing it's french

'Ta mere la grosse pute'
'Je viole ta mere'
Me: 'english please'
'Je nique ta mere'
'T as compris anglais de putain?'
Then he rage quit and sent me some messages in english

'I feck your mother bitch. PUSSY'
'Suck my dick noob'
:lol:

Guessing mere doesn't mean flowers

Pretty vulgar that :lol: don't really want to post that :lol:
 
Shambolic gameplay this weekend. Seriously don't understand EA's persistence with broken game mechanics. Anyway, managed to reach Elite 2 this weekend (Elite 1 last week). Only my third time playing the full 40 games.

Top work that. Call me nosey but what are you doing with 1m in the bank and how have you made all your coins if you don't play weekend league much? As it seems to be the best earner unless you get lucky a pack a monster.

Good question (not nosy at all). Apart from Pro Clubs, I've not played this game much... and I'm a fan of the game (even though it's broken) and have been playing it since 05/06. In terms of how I earned my coins, I've been trading/investing. I started off buying BPL gold rare players and listing them for 2k over their normal card (lazy buyers technique). Then I progressed over to the same method but with IF players. For example, I sold IF Milner for the price of SIF Milner this week. Also, when FUTMAS was on, I invested in 83/84 rated players, and made so much profit. I've done the same again for this week. The rest of the coins come from the rewards I got from reaching Elite 1. I finished in the top 100 weekly and received 125k + 11 TOTW players. Kane was 100k+, Willian was 300k+, Baines was 100k+ and so on.

My team:

My biggest mistake is that I never warm up and I play little FIFA, so I get a bit careless at times. The other mistake I make is not testing new players out. I usually enter the WL without playing with my new IFs (the only players I look to buy these days).

In game, I switch to 4-1-2-1-2. Vardy and Martial up top - run in behind. Hazard stays up while I defend. Instructions for the two CMs (IF Firmino and Dembele) are default. Kante - man mark and stay back while attacking. And I have Shaw and Bellerin stay back, too.

And this was the team that got me Elite 1 last week:

IF Dembele with zero links. Which was stupid but somehow worked. He was on 6 chem - a simple change from RW to RF would have given him 7 chem. Which is what Martial is usually on for me. Last week I switched to 4-3-1-2. I feel that I need to play with two up top to utilise one-twos.

I still don't consider myself "Elite", and I feel that this game is more hassle than fun. I have a coupe OP players, but I play to have fun. My target was Elite for this weekend, and I wanted to achieve that while having fun. I'm not sure I achieved that, unfortunately.

Choked and finished 37-3.

Had 1 game where I just switched off. Lost a 2 goal lead. Went to pens and the brilliant penalty mechanics cost me as Neuer refused to make a simple save.

Elite 1 rewards still good at least.
 
Underperformed massively and finished gold 1. I blame the game and that french twat who violated my mom. Changed my team 5-6 times during the weekend, still not happy. Pogba is a dream though
 
I fecked up and finished Gold 1 on 27 wins with a game left. Never wanted to smash my pad up so much as when chasing a guy up and down the pitch at 1-0 in the 60th minute cause he is playing keep ball

Mad skills to get that many wins!
 
Lost 3 Daily Tournament finals to bullshit shenanigans today.

Jamie vardy injured from a sliding tackle last man take down in the 18 yard box.

Yellow fecking card and missed the penalty for no reason. Same power as always same aim as always and it ballons over the bar.

Two long shots and I'm 2-0 down. Drag it back to 2-2, Gundogan back heels it to nobody instead of a simple 10 yards pass to Fabregas and I can't switch to the defender I need to chase it down, said defender steps up and let's him clear through.... off the post into the back of my goalkeeper and in.

Round of applause EA.
 
Sounds like you just need to get better @Pexbo , there is no such thing as momentum or scripting. ...

Indeed. Practice makes perfect in this wonderfully balanced and in no way weighted game.

That's the spirit! Just like there is my own fault that I was defending a 1v1 easily, being way ahead of the attacker when the defender tried to toe-poke the ball away from some reason despite me not hitting any buttons. Obviously he missed, and left the attacker all alone with my GK to slot it into the back of the net. The next time I have to try to not miss the ball when not hitting any buttons.

Silly you!
 
Had 22 wins with 10 games left and completely ducked up by losing three in a row, winning one, then losing again. I tinkered with my custom tactics too much and my players were shocking.

25 wins with 3 games left. Was too annoyed to play the remaining ones. :lol:

Back to my gung-ho self with my fb's set to always overlap.

Helps against those shitehouses that play park the bus from min 1.
 
The scripting is insane now that I think of it. I was 1-0 up after 90 mins and obviously the game wants him to equalize. It becomes impossible to stop it when the opposition shoots towards goal. He was faced away from the goal and I pushed Butland out towards him. And of course he shoots brtween his legs and scored. After that my players felt like zombies and I lost 3-0 on penalty shootout. Brilliant

He had 2 shots, I had 18
:lol:

Stop calling it scripting. Scripting doesn't exist. You're just a bad finisher. I've had so may games where I've dominated my opponents with 20 odd shots and lost the game. It means nothing. It's about efficiency. For some reason, every single FIFA player seems to think you should win games because they had more shots than their opponent.

However, I buy into the momentum theory. Which is completely different to "scripting". There are too many games where you're 2-0 up and you feel the game against you. However, maybe my opponent's tactics have something to do with that.

I decided to give it another chance after the absolute madness last time I played since I've never tried the weekend league before. I won the first two very easily, but it wasnt hard to notice something happening at the end of the 2nd game. A kick off from the opponent ended up with me tackling my own player at the half way line, causing the ball to bounce back to the corner flag in my own half. My players jog (just subbed on) while I try to sprint, and just barely gets the ball. I try a simple, 5 yard pass to an umarked player when the game hits a driven pass in the opposite direction of where I'm aiming / the player is facing, hitting the ball against my own keeper who miskicks it, hitting my own player in the back, directing the ball back at the keeper who somehow saved but just pushes the ball into the feet of his striker who taps in the goal.

After that I've played 7 games. Lost all 7, not scoring a single goal. Not even open goals.

I actually had my pulse at 84% of my max at the end of the 5th game, but I just had to see just how ridiculous it can get. The tide shifted at the end of my last game where suddenly the other player missed every tackle, mistiming interceptions, somehow giving my players all the space in the world but I was simply too down and out to get anything out of it. It seems like something has happened in lately, because it's been absolutely fecking ridiculous for a few days now.
Hmm, so you're blaming the game for your 7 loss streak? Sorry but you don't have the right to blame the game for your shambolic form. Same thing has happened to me before (not as bad though). I tend to take a break and try again. Seriously, go and record your gameplay and I can guarantee you that you're making big mistakes. The game doesn't decide that you go on that sort of losing streak.

ANOTHER fecking proof of scripting. Just happened to me. Look at how Alli just slows down for a brief period to prevent me from counter attacking. Sorry for including the unrelated cornerkick

What am I looking at here? If the initial pass was to Alli, then that's another case of broken game mechanics. Nothing to do with scripting.

FIFA has been scripted ever since they added momentum one year as an actual FIFA. Despite claiming they removed it, it quite blatantly exists still.

There's no other explanation for your players being slower, more clumsy and having awful passing one game, then the next they are incredible. Considering the amount spent in the game, it's an absolute disgrace that it exists. I was a top 500 player on FIFA 07/08/09 and the game is 100% more lotto since UT got introduced.
Well there actually is a reasonable explanation... It's called input delay. I've been complaining about it all year. This past WL was the worst in terms of sluggishness. Here's an awesome video highlighting the difference between good and bad gameplay:

Whilst I agree fully with that video he doest get into the reasons as to why it's happening? Also why at times its only 1 team that is affected by the 'bad gameplay' when really if it is an issue with the mechanics of the game it should affect both.
 
My losses usually come because of me being unable to finish, and being unable to defend at all.

Clubs was the best.

You're wrong and naive. HTH.
 
It appears that coding thing is true, this cnut had 1 shot till the 60th min then my team couldn't pass, couldn't shoot, couldn't intercept, still won mind.
