Gaming FIFA 17

You're wrong and naive. HTH.

Coming from someone who blames the game for a 7 loss streak. Which is laughable. Imagine being that naive.

The truth is, EA have more to lose than gain in terms of addressing/acknowledging certain flaws. They have failed massively in terms of the competitive aspect of FIFA. The input delay and random AI input - whether that's a pass or block - has contributed to their lack of success this year, but that doesn't matter. They have no competition (PES is awful). As long as the big YouTubers promote packs, EA's good. Let's also not forget corporate monkeys, Spencer FC and Castro. Their lack of transparency is a major problem, and we already know that they need to be under intense pressure to acknowledge flaws (see chemgate). However, to suggest that the game actively determines the outcome is ludicrous. What exists is bad coding, not scripting. Oh, and what also exists is bad execution. I don't care for your 20 shots. Show me every shot. I can guarantee that you screwed yourself more than the game did. HTH.

Got a TOTW Milner, is he any good in game?

If he was a midfielder, he'd be brilliant. But he's a slow left-back, so he's shite.

 

[Pexbo]

I've got Alli IF. Any word on how good he is?

You think you have total control over your shots

Put your shooting to manual and learn how to use it. You'll stop hating on the game so much.

I can't afford it after spending everything on the WL

 

[RonaldoVII]

How many games do you need to win in the weekend league to automatically qualify the weekend after? And presume the rewards are tradeable? 1st timer this coming weekend and other than the United game I've a clear schedule

Think I'm addicted to ultimate team packs, I rarely play matches just open packs and do SBC's, wasting ridiculous cash on FIFA points every week. Need to stop

How much is ridiculous cash?

£0.01 is ridiculous cash to waste on packs tbh.

Sure.

Is saying HTH again going to make me look cooler on this internet forum? If so; HTH.

Surely it's possible to have him in midfield and still have 100 chem?

Cant you go LB > LWB > LM ?

Edit - Appears not.

Chemistry should be fine anyway if he is with other prem/english/liverpool players. It doesn't take much to keep the chemistry high.

 

[vanthaman]

£30 a week, maybe more. Only for the past month

Yeah, I had to test him for one game with 98chem and he was an absolute monster at CM.

As a percentage, what proportion of your conceded goals are because it's selected the wrong player?

I have air balls switching on but it's still a clusterf*ck. 9 times out of 10 I want the DM regardless of context but it will flick to a DF or even to a striker/winger when I try to flick it to who I want with the stick.

 

[Macern]

Wait - do you actually play with manual shooting? Does it work?

 

[Macern]

Are the WL reward packs released yet guys?

About 60% I'd reckon The switching is terrible.

Also, why when you're winning, do all your players push up and leave nobody back? It's feckin mental. You can't make them stay back whatever tactics you use.

 

[Macern]

Ok cheers. Will enjoy a couple of days without xbox. Hopefully I'll get some cracking cards to enable me to get into the elites next weekend.

 

[Macern]

I did discover something great in my last few games of the weekend league. If you're like me - you often find yourself dominating the opponent with loads of big chances but the ball doesn't go in and then they counter attack and score and you want to kill yourself and burn down your house, you should try going into attacking mentality. I've started doing that from the off every game, and it usually gives me just enough attacking options to convert the high pressure into goals. It works brilliantly.

Despite spending £200 on FIFA 17 FUT packs I've just deleted my club.

There's definitely something afoul in that game and until EA rectify it, my FIFA will be limited to Seasons (which plays so smoothly every time) and Pro Clubs.

Wow, that's drastic. There's a chance they'll make some alterations in the coding and things will get better. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself to cheer me up.

Yeah but I genuinely don't care. Competitive games are supposed to be competitive, not handicapped. If someone isn't very good they shouldn't be assisted by a third party. Also, the servers in FUT... shocking.

You should read the posts to the guy on this page, he'll tell you that you suck and it's all in your head.

 

[P-Nut]

Wait - do you actually play with manual shooting? Does it work?

It depends. I normally have everything set to semi/manual and change it depending on how I'm playing. You can tell that the ball is going which way you aim instead of the middle of the net everytime.

Manual lob pass is a million times better aswell. I also don't know how anyone plays with assisted passing on. You literally aren't playing the game if you do and the computer is playing for you.

 

[SSSSnake]

It isn't scripting it's momentum. Each team has it and sometimes the other team will have it. Being decent at the game just means you have get around this. The pro players get 40/40 wins proves this.

Stop crying about the game when you lose 7 in a row. It isn't the game! It's you!

Interesting. I have some testing to do

Your logical fallacy is strawman. Please try again.

Imagine actually losing 7 in a row and blaming the game? Oh my god, scripting, handicap, momentum, this isn't fair. The real issue is bad coding... and as I mentioned earlier, I buy into the the momentum theory. However, losing streaks can be prevented.

I love all the whinging, at this point only about 5 posters are happy with the game, yet, everyone in here will be shelling out for it in September

Well yes, I've said about a 100 times that I'm going to quit this game yet I never do

 

[P-Nut]

It's still the best game around even though it's the most infuriating.

 

[EvilChuck]

Scripting isnt a thing. Momentum more than likely yes, no different from a racing game having rubber banding to keep last place interested in the game. The good players on a racing game will usually win though as their reflexes and skill levels are higher, no different to fifa.

Me for example, i'm average at fifa and happy to admit it. Some parts of this game infuriate me like you wouldnt believe (stupid decisions by AI keepers and defenders usually, and 7 disconnect losses this past weekend league), but when a player is better than me i more often than not lose.

I got gold 3 on WL, and hover usually between D2 and D1 on seasons, depending on the quality of player i end up facing. I managed to get relegated to D3 this weekend after trying out new tactics and formations that really didnt work for me, but in D3 its like a completely different game where everything works properly for me and i can win 3 or 4 nil. This isnt scripting, its because i am better than your average D3 player, about level with D2 players and a shade below the level that a D1 player is.

People need to realise their level and know that they arent going to go 40/40 and smash D1 over again like the youtube pros, and realise that for a lot of those guys fifa is their main source of income, and they can devote a 40 hour week to playing, recording and editing, whereas the rest of us get an hour or 2 a night.

This is how my SBC Lacazette team is looking now. I am seriously in love with this.

Spoiler

I really wish there was an IF Ben Arfa. The combination of him and Lacazette is lethal. Would love Pogba for this team but I am nowhere near going to afford him any time soon. Might make my next investment the IF Payet.

Aye, Ben Arfa is class. I have him at CM with my formation but can imagine him being even more lethal at CAM

Anyone got ideas to improve this team with 200k? Was also thinking IF Payet, but think he would be better suited at CAM, and I do like Martial at LF. Could just about afford IF Thiago Silva but would cost all my coins and he only seems to be a slight upgrade.
