Gaming FIFA 17

13-2

Best start yet. Should be 14-1, but coulda, shoulda, woulda, yada yada yada.

If weren't for the monthly rewards I'd be stuck with my old, lethargic team (Vardy & IF Gray were sold, they're shite, I tried to convince myself otherwise) so I'm fecking hyped with my new Serie A/La Liga mix.

Hopefully I don't bottle it tomorrow and keep this run going.
 
Started WL last week and managed to finish at Gold 2 with 23 wins and 12 losses (couldn't play the last 5 as I was busy on Sunday). Started 0-2 this week but managed to turn it round to 8-4 atm, so hopefully should be on for Gold 1. Could do with a better ST than IF Gray though because he's so inconsistent :mad:

Did 5 games tonight. 2 wins and 3 losses. Don't think I have the full 40 games in me. Was sick of it after about 3 games today. Really wanted to try and see how high of a monthly ranking I get, but feck that.

I found Gray awful. His finishing was absolutely appalling. Apparently he had a +10 boost over his normal card for shooting. I'm skeptic they actually applied it.
 
Sold Gray after 3 games. Shite. Couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

Ibrahimovic is fun though. When he gets in behind, a defender will almost always catch up with him but tap L2 and he shrugs them off.

Where do you aim the pens?

I usually aim drastically to one side so my player steps towards that side. Then I'll just shift it to the opposite side or down the middle. Do that for the first couple and then go random

Lukaku does that but has pace to dust them too. Put the Hunter card on him and he's unstoppable.
 
How is best to play against people who are ultra defensive with their back 4 deep in their own half but seemingly having the rest of their team attacking?

Go defensive yourself so your defenders don't push too far forward then just attack as usual really. Lots of rotating the ball seeing if you can drag the cbs out towards you.
 
Just reminded me I scored probably my best goal of the year earlier today. Lots of intricate 1 touch passing (I'd estimate around 20 1st touch passes out of 50 altogether) all finished off with a clipped through ball and a finesse volley into the bottom corner.

Never been so disappointed the replays don't last longer.
 
Think the elite 2 dream is dead. :(

Was 17-3, went online, played my first game. Guy was really good, competitive game but he deserved the win. Second game, everything goes to shit. Playing against some shit tier player; he was super aggressive, constantly running his defenders out of position, I tried simple 1-2's around him but the ball kept bouncing off my players, or they'd do this stupid leg stretch for no reason.

When they did have room, the through players kept shooting toward the goal keeper. I made sure to put as little power as possible, but nah, over hit over and over again.

Goes to extra time, same shit, 120 min comes along, and where is Godin? He's out on the left wing the cnut he finally gets through after 120 mins of me trying to break him down and scores.

Next game, similar player but I manage to get 3 1v1's in 90 mins. First 2 hit the post, last one he rushes his keep out, I chip him from about 20 yards, dings the crossbar.

He brings on Musa, hoofs up pitch from goal kick, ball ricochets around the defence, drops to Musa, 1-0.

Losing 3 on the bounce, 2 of them against god awful players was gut wrenching.

I won won the fourth game 5-2 in extra time. Same kinda shit but thankfully I powered through.

18-6 now, 16 games remaining.

The thing that irks me the most is that yesterday and this morning, I played and beat some really good players yet losing two against shocking teams is just the worst. :lol:

Praying some Chinese club buys that prick and he disappears from Fifa forever.
 
2-0-0 so far. Was going to play a lot today but I'm having the worst hangover ever so I've been incapable of getting out of bed. Long day tomorrow with 38 games to play.
 
Starting to come up against better opponents now. Just beat a guy 3-0 who messaged me saying it was his first loss and he now has 16-0-1. I feel unstoppable atm. 8-0-0. My mind is flirting with the thought of top100 but that's insane and I've now definitely jinxed everything

Everyone at EA should be fired for this atrocity of a game.

It's a joke how they try to push this game into 'e-sports' when they don't even have a clue what an e-sport looks like
 
Holy feck. Just beat a guy with the best Serie A team possible and he had put training cards on every single player! Won 1-0, scored in the 120th minute :lol::lol:

9-0 so far, can't believe it. I'm shaking so going to take a break

Is this related?
 
Was heading for a loss in my 13th game. He scored on a corner and I was down for the first time this weekend. Then he lost connection half way through the first half :lol: Can't believe the luck I'm having. 12 wins 0 losses so far

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.

Yeah that's my downfall. I worked from home on Friday and got about 15 in and then played this morning. Started so well with 10-1. But then lost a few on the bounce so will be lucky to get gold 1.

Story of my life mate. Came up against Ronaldo at least 6 times with legend players playing alongside him. I win five of them against decent quality players. But then loose against Musa, Rashford teams. I choked yesterday. Was on a winning run 10-1 but ended gold 2. I just never learn and continue to play when on a rage.

You may aswell be describing my weekend there. Always have a mint run and then fall apart after a couple of losses. Need 9 out of 13 now to make gold 1
 
9-1 so far, and I'm done with Weekend League. It's just not fun at all, facing everyone playing Park the Bus and making every game a chore.

They need to bring in bonus packs for goals scored.

They need to fix what park the bus actually does. I've altered my custom tactics to be really narrow and less pressure and it's worked a treat. My terrible start cost me elite but I should finish within a couple of it so I can get elite rewards for the month.
 
Finished with 29 wins (elite 3).

Absolutely gutted. :lol: A good 5 or 6 of those games I was pissing all over the oppo yet kept hitting the post over and over and over again.

I'd be happy as feck with that at the moment
 
I started off with 6 wins in a row then lost 4 in a row. I've not won 13 in a row to get up to 19-4.

So hungover and really struggling to do the games :(
 
Not played it in the last 2 weekends

Just can't be bothered with all the unavoidable bullshit that goes on in this game. Not to mention there's no variety in teams it's boring playing against smalling, walker, butland, martial and kante every fecking game.
 
14-2 now. Just lost two games in a row both on penalty shootout.
Wonder if I'll have enough time to finish
 
Is anyone not elite on here? I'm only seeing records with 4 or 5 losses, I'd love to be upset with that many.

Currently 20-13.

Im usually gold 2. This weekend i played 7 games and the 3 games I won of those I had no joy from them at all. Going to put the game down for a bit. Was the first month where I had the time to try and get a good monthly score but having done it the last 2 weekends, I got sick of it.

19-4 to 27-12 :lol:

Absolutely shocking but I tried to make elite tonight on a raging hangover.

@Eddy_JukeZ or any of you proper good players have any tips of defending. Do you pressure a lot with teammate contain or be more passive on contain?

I just feel every time I lose the ball I might concede. The only thing I try is to avoid control the back 4 as much as possible but I'm awful at that too :lol:
Click to expand...

I'm aggressive in my opponent's half, but more passive in my own half.

Defending this year is really about funneling your opponent into crowded areas, because it's hard to get past a congested defense. So anticipating what he'll do and reacting in time is the way to go. Jockey over containing. Don't lunge for tackles recklessly.
 
Had my worst weekend league since the 2nd weekend league. 35-5. Need to play more during the week. Been slacking since that 40-0.

Got TOTY Messi. Hopefully the upgrade is worth the coinage.

I finished 21-17, and didnt bother with the last 2 games. Gold 2 is an improvement on last weeks gold 3, i found this week much easier than last week with a few tactical changes and personnel changes. And apart from one game where i was shat on from minute 1 all of the games lost were only by 1 goal. So although the results suggest otherwise i feel like i am close to gold 1 or even elite level.

I just want some fancy red in form cards
