Gaming FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

Yeah it's actually ridiculous. I can comfortably beat the AI on Legendary but I got destroyed 8-1 the one time I tried Ultimate.

I'm done playing squad battles though, I finished Elite 2 the first week and Elite 1 last week but it was such a grind. Playing against the AI on Legendary is so tedious. They win every 50/50 and every player seems to have 90 pace no matter who they are.
Yep even some shit 50 rated bronze player can out pace and out muscle 89 rated Sanchez if he dare gets ahead, complete joke.
 
God this is frustrating at times. Just had two games where everything felt normal, I was creating chances and playing well. The next two games were a joke! Felt like my players were running in treacle and had the first touch of a fecking lorry.

What baffles me is that none of those games were online either, so there is definitely something working against me and trying to feck me over.

This is the thing I hate most about this game. The inconsistency of it all.
 
I got a second totw Fellaini, sold them both and got close to 100k. First time I've had this much, gonna keep saving up for the big guns. Also packed the likes of Herrera, Modric and Bakayoko, and Carrasco for the wing :)

After my 48 hour work shift, I hope to go on a good run with my squad.
 
Yeah, I doubt I'll put much time into squad battles again, it just isn't fun, no matter what difficulty you're playing on. I did actually get a walkout in one of the packs but of course it had to be fecking Pepe.
:lol:

Got a billboard
Polish
Lewa?!

Nah, Kamil Glik. He’s 85 too. Probably the worst 85 on the game

Welcome to the world of FUT. It never changes, you just have to accept that some games you're destined to lose.
 
Of their own accord I mean... where they haven't touched the ball.
If your player has the ball you can point towards the striker (or any player) and press L1 and it'll make them run.
 
Really? I will try tonight. That might be it.
Yeah, works well if you want a winger/fullback to start moving forward into space etc.

Funny, Fifa is such a simple game but there's lots of hidden techniques.
 
Anyone seen the hidden dribbling techniques using L1/LB this year? Search for it on YouTube. It looks quality, although I'm sure the 2nd one can be done using L2/LT

You got a link? I'm lazy and I'd pprobably search for the wrong thing anyway.

Care to post the vid? I was playing some cnut last night and he kept doing this weird floating dribble, like this years lt/rt and it would feck me up. Then when we were 1 v 1 he kept flicking the ball around me.

Like his player would push it to the right and he hed run left. Never seen it before.
 
Is anyone attempting to climb the online seasons ladder? I'm up to division 3 and always have a weird obsession to get to division 1 and win it.

I’m doing it but to be honest it’s just as boring as playing the AI. Not to sound like a cnut but my record is 35-1-1 and I rarely face any challenge. Currently in div 4 though. But I never struggle to win the 1st div which is why I don’t enjoy it anywhere near as much as I enjoy fut champions.

Between squad battles and fut champs and the occsional qualifier tourney for fut champs... probably cant be arsed doing any other game mode on fifa. Already too big a committment.

Yep, rather slowly though. Wish they’d up the rewards. You play about 20 games from div 10 to 6 without any considerable increase in difficulty.
 
Just put a bit of coin into United/Liverpool players while you can still get them for 1k. Should be in marquee matchups you’d imagine..
 
I just don't understand how I can go from something like 700-50-50 in FIFA 13 to 3-5-30 now.
Fifa 13 was a long time ago.

Getting old. The reactions are going. Young pricks hopped up on Monster energy drink beat you to every ball.
 
I dunno, even last year I found divisions to be harder than FUT Champs. Must due to the P2P connection.

@Macern any way to fix the hug gap between my CM's and defense? Custom tactics? In game tactics switching?

I'm in the same boat or well I don't know actual records but I was very good at earlier Fifas but then didn't play much of 15-17 although I was still pretty good at 15 and 16 but couldn't defend to save my life in 17 and would dominate but couldn't finish either. Haven't even bothered to go online yet this year but I'd expect to lose most.
 
Anyone know how defenders and DM stay back when i attack? Absolutely hate it when they run forward.

Also why do the fullbacks switch with the CBs at times during a game for periods? Just yesterday i had Alba going to CB for no reason and Umtiti to LB. I conceded a cheap goal from a cross due to Alba being a CB. After the goal it was back to normal, but i hate these sort of things

I have my wingers swapping with my CDM's during games it gets really annoying when you have a bit of room to run into and turns out its my slow CDM
