Gaming FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

Squad battles is definately tougher this week. I'm easily in elite 1 but have found the going tougher on legendary. The computer now leave it late to go all out attack compared to before and if they go 1 nil up you will work your arse off to get the equaliser I find. That said I think I've lose 1 of 9 so far and in that I had 14 shots all saved by Buffon (2 of them from inside the 6 yard box.) and all inside the 18 yard box. Of course their goal came from a crazy undefendable Brazil 1970 counter attack.
Some games are just insane when it comes to missed chances, yesterday I had a game where I had 12 shots on target and hit the post twice and the bar once but lost the game 1-0 after a ping pong goal from the AI in the 117th minute.
 
Finding it so hard to save up. Need about 900k for Del Piero! After getting gold 2 for 4/5 weeks I finally got to gold 1 and almost Elite 3.

Hopefully I can pull something from those 100k packs.

Yeah its hard to argue against scripting in those ones. Buffon is probably my fave keeper ever but if I met him irl yesterday I'd have kicked him in the balls called him a dirty scripting cheater and ran away.

I was watching Nepenthez guy on how to beat ultimate difficulty and his basic thing was the cpu will do that to you twice a game, just basically accept it as its undefendable and make sure you score 5 when it happens. I think the better the player the better they can cope with those scripted games and keep their head and win, but while I wouldn't say the game flat out cheats to prevent 45 wins it certainly makes things difficult for no reason at times.
 
@Eddy_JukeZ whats this about ovvy and krasi cheating. I remember watching their tutorials a few years ago. Didn’t think they would stoop to a new low.

It must be really annoying for people who put the time in that there’s so many cheaters.

Cheating how?

Yeah they've been exposed. There's proof on Krasi cheating and Ovvy as well.

The fact that they keep deflecting and making up excuses just makes them look worse. Should just own up and apologize.

As far as I can tell you connect your ps4/xbox to the mobile hotspot on your phone which in turn is connected to the router. Then when you're getting hammered, dial your phone and it disconnects the game and the player doesn't take a loss. Kind of a horrible thing to do imho. People will find all kinds of ways to do this shit.
 
That's pretty clever.

I heard some in the WL do a cnuty thing as well if it goes to a shootout. If they're about to lose, and all the other player has to do is convert his to win, they will disconnect. Although they get the loss, the other player doesn't get the win. Bullshit.

I would absolutely lose my shit.
 
After having played WL I find I do better generally. Having to be on your game and concentrating for so many matches in a row, against people doing the same, has helped up my game, I feel. Definitely feeling like Seasons is easier :)

And now I have 9 packs waiting to be opened... it's been a couple of days, I really doubt I'll be able to save them all for POTY. I also hate the thought of playing and saving up packs and being disciplined as feck, and then opening them all only to get mediocre cards >:(

So torn.
 
Prime Electrum players packs are the best bang for buck packs in the game.

I'd prefer a few of them that the 100k packs you get in WL.

EA must know about this penalty issue?
People who do things like that ruin the game for everyone. Also players who get an early goal then simply pass around their back line and keeper the rest of the game are scum.
 
My lord squad battles is insanely hard.. going through my defence like knife through butter! Prepped me better for the online seasons though

The worse thing is, how do EA stop that from happening? Like you say, it's kind of weird the things people will do to avoid losses. But these are pros and it's their job to play fifa too.
 
Damn. I really liked krasis and ovvys channel. Suddenly both of them started getting Top 100 week after week, after two years of clearly struggling to get elite.

Cheating cnuts. Unsuscribed from both of them
 
Playing the best I think I’ve ever played at the moment. If I carry this into WL I’ll definitely get my highest finish.

Won the division 3 title winning all 7 games in a row. Not conceding any shitty rebounds or giving away any ridiculous penalties away anymore.
 
Not sure how you’d predict an MM of Ipswich v ‘Boro, but they’re extinct below 5k. That’s a million profit on 50k investment if you took the plunge.
 
Cheers for the heads up - 20k for two boro players I bought for 4K last week

Of course the next game after posting this I conceded a rebound and an own goal. Of fecking course.
 
Played and won 8 squad battles games on ultimate. Ended up with less points than I would had I played on legendary.

Winining 2-1, 3-2, 2-0 etc.

What a waste. Most I got was 2600 for the 3-2 win.

Ya, banging in extra goals on legendary is far better. A bit broken and boring, but it is what it is.
 
Not sure what area it covers, but Young would be in this for his Watford game. So unsure when Arsenal game is considered
Ibai scored a hattrick on Monday night and he’s in it so it should do.

De Gea is in for the Arsenal game. They didn't want to do 3 totw players from United is the reason why

i would have left out Young, he got one already and Arsenal>Watford, but i guess EA dont agree with me. Pretty disappointing, was awaiting his card with happiness.
 
Not much in for me this week, De Gea would be nice, but probably too expensive. Maybe one supersub type of signing with Gnabry or Coman or maybe even Rooney, but i dont know yet.

You have to score 5 goals on ultimate or its pretty much a waste of time according to youtubers. Those goal points really, really add up. If you can't score 5 its a waste of time. I saw Nepenthez say if he's 3-0 up after 88 minutes he'll score 3 og's to make sure he gets the 5 in total. If I get 7 wins in a row on legendary I play my 8th on ultimate (usually lose but I'm getting closer, use that game to learn as I'm pretty sure I'll hit Elite 1 anyway). I won't play it full time until I can beat it 4-0 or score 5 in every game.
 
Needed to win my last game to stay in the division. Was 3-1 up and conceded 89 min and 90 min rebounds LOLOLOL
 
Tried to qualify for the weekend league, won the first 2 games and went to bed. Came back the next day and saw my progress wiped. Forgot that's why they call it the daily knockout cup. feck sake.

That's the second time I've made that mistake as well. Oh well.
 
Matic is a beast. Far better than Bakayoko (the go to holding CM for most) for me. Silky smooth.

Played with him for a very long time but replaced him with Bakayoko one or 2 weeks ago. His lack of pace was starting g to frustrate me a bit, but he's great defensively and physically.

Agree! Though I love Bakayoko as well, I’d have a hard time picking between the two.

Edit: Now that I think about it, Bakayoko can’t shoot to save his life, while Matic does actually score quite consistently for me, so I’d probably go for Matic.

I wacked on Catalyst chem style to give him a speed boost, and it does enough to get him mobileish enough in my own half, passing boost also awesome for a counter.

Ya. Bak is still on my bench and is very handy to have when defending for life, he just offered little passing or attack emphasis wise. Tried Matic and he just seems more controlled in tackling (especially when you are timing/holding the standing tackle button) and seems to cut out and intercept a bit better
