Gaming FIFA 17

Played a tosser who went up 1-0 after I fecked up with a pass in defense. He dabbed, didn't skip but what really made me mad was that he didn't skip any replays of chances etc. I won 3-1, played like a massive cnut and paused the game three times after scoring my 3rd. Send him a message after the game saying shhh

This game really brings out the worst in people :lol:

I always dab but I never replay goals. Don't see the point, unless it's an amazing goal. I used to get so annoyed when players dabbed after each goal, but now I just use it as a tool to get an advantage over my opponent. Also, if you're going to play park the bus/low pressure and not attempt to press me, then you're not getting the ball back until you make an attempt to play the game.

Anyway, is anyone here going to complete the Ibra POTM SBC? I might do parts of it but can't see myself spending that much on him. I've played with his IF before and it doesn't suit my style. It means that I would have to use him as a target man, and I don't think I'm at the level where I can use precision dribbling and have him dominate teams.

Pass it around your back 4 ?

Nah, I'm not scummy like that. Anyone who passes it around the back needs to get a life. What I meant was that I pass the ball in my opponents half, until he presses with his midfielder. The amount of players I have faced who PTB and jockey back with their midfielders is low, but when it does happen, it's frustrating.
 
I don't play seasons anymore. The rage is too much.

Just boring old Career Mode for me, these days.
 
Weird... If I put Kane (84) on my bench instead of Vardy (82) or Toure (84) instead of Kante (81) my rating drops from 86 to 85. A bug or underlying higher ratings (than face value card) for both Vardy and Kante?

It's been like that for ages.

If I follow the formula for a 84 sbc I need to have 2 84s 8 83s and 1 80. If I change that 80 to and 81/82 then the rating drops to 83..
 
Started well 5 in 5. Generally i bash out 15 games in a row before having a break so going to try having regular breaks after five games to see if i improve.

My monthly rewards were crap. Lopez and some average players no higher then 83. Sigh.

Anyone started any games this weekend league?

I hardly played last month so got 1 silver IF. Absolutely useless to me and can't be sold.

I'm going to start my games in the next half hour or so. Hopefully I can get that 1 extra win and finish elite 3 this weekend.

I hardly ever press as its too easy to pass round people, easier to predict and close passing lanes off at last second. I don't see how thats not playing the game.

Also every idiot i play these days seems to just have two quick forwards and try to do the one two. Pressing in that situation is suicide, i block the channel instead and they usually miss as they panic.

Ah that explains a lot. Been bugging me last few days didn't realise going lower would be better :wenger:

What you've described is how a lot of people defend. Which is essentially you taking control of your midfielders and moving side to side. That's smart. It's what you do, it's what I do, it's what every pro player does. What I'm referring to is different. My opponent will be on PTB/low pressure and won't make any attempt to win the ball. See this (5:58):

 
It's so stupid that the AI defends for you. The fact that there's actually Fifa "pros" when the AI does 90% of the defensive work is absurd.

And when they all step up for the offside trap leaving a player in acres of space through on goal despite setting it to possession and PTB... that's your fault.

Pretty much. If you know how to control your midfielders, then you're pretty much a good defender in this game. If you're conceding goals while on PTB, then that's your fault most of the time, unless you've been hit with denial (scripting, handicap, momentum). What's annoying is the AI doing random things for you, like tackles and blocks. That needs to be sorted out in FIFA 18. Re defending - I think what separates us from pros is the level of anticipation they have. My brother played against Huge Gorilla a couple of months ago on FUT Champions, and he was just insane. He pressed with three players and anticipated every pass. That's not even getting into how absurdly talented he is.
 
First two games were a joke on WL. First game massive lag throughout. He messaged me saying he had no lag whilst my players were just running off in the direction I had the pad 2 minutes ago.

2nd game I've got a black screen with just commentary. Stuck it out for a bit thinking it would come back on. 3-0 down I had to quit. Been not bad since then. Won 7 out of 8 to be on 7 out of 10 for the morning. That's probably me done for the day though.

Anyone else ever had the black screen thing before?

Shit luck. Had it a couple times on battlefield recently but never on fifa
 
Disconnected 2 out of 3 games. Winning in both of them. Honestly not had a weekend league run yet with an accurate representation of what I can get yet due to dodgy connection in the majority of games. My internet is fine for everything else. Why never FIFA?

Yeah it was horrible. Starting from 0/2 I'm quite impressed with getting it to 7/10. The guy I lose to fairly was just a better player than me which I don't mind. It's alright getting beat fair and square but losing to the game fecking me over is horrible.
 
I guess my bitching and whining about packs in this thread payed off, as I just bagged an TOWT Eriksen from a SBCs pack :D

Fridays are always hit and miss when it comes to the servers. You'll be winning and then, bam, you're kicked from UT. Frustrating as all feck.
 
Last night I was selling all my consumables so I could buy Ibra, all my footballs and everything. I ended up with 329k and then spent ages and ages clicking hoping to snap one up but the cheapest buy now that came up was 330k, 1k off. Anyway I called it a night and today was the day I was going to get him. Its shit that today he has gone up by like 200k because he is potm, Its so annoying. I have been grinding this crap game in the hope of getting Ibra and now this.

He should go back down in a few days
 
21 games in and won 14. Probs on for gold one or two.
Holy shit, that's a lot to play in a day. My nerves would be shot. I try to do 15-15-10 over the weekend.

I'm 6-4. Can't complain about scripting/momentum too much this weekend as I've won my last three with goals in '90, '90 and '119. Two of which were thoroughly undeserved.

Karma is just around the corner though.

I won 5/5 penalty shootouts last week so no doubt I'm getting fecked for that at some stage this week
 
Won the first game I played with a late goal coming back from behind and it was such an annoying game to play. Barely any chances in it because this guy wanted to go with a slow possession style the whole time and used every pause for the entire time (probably to try and frustrate). Going to hate myself playing all 40 games this weekend
 
After an awful start of 1 win in 6 I've made it to 4 wins in 10 :D So much time has passed for these 10 games, getting all 40 in will be tough. Aiming for Silver 1 at this point.
 
I have given up on getting Ibra for now and went and bought Ole instead and he just got 4 goals on his debut, 2 were amazing finesse shots from outside the box, he has the finesse trait so I will be trying lots more of those.
