Gaming FIFA 19

Anyone know if manual controls are actually useable this year? Was a disgrace in 18
 
Do you just close the application or actually have to disconnect from the network?
After kick off you just go to settings - network - turn off internet and then turn it back on.
 
How do you score? I'm still incapable of scoring. Just had 20 shots and scored twice, one of which was a bicycle kick off of a corner. The AIs blocking is just ridiculous as well. They come flying from 10 yards away and block it every single time. It's like all of my players are Valencia.

For me and I find it really hard, getting to the edge of the box and timed finess shots are the easiest way. Other than that hope the other guy plays stupidly attacking and leaves you acres to get one on one.

Wish we could all do like the Legendary AI and counter attack at light speed, cross the ball and then smile as the oppo keeper under zero pressue, with no one around him for some unknown reason decides to punch the ball straight to an oncoming attacker for the tap in(About 80% of the goals I concede in Squad Battles are this and with DDG first and lately IF Cech..)

Yes. Did it earlier today.

Wish I saw this before I took 20 losses for no reason, even more annoyingly after forfeiting about 10 or so games, every time you try to forfeit you get a disconnected from the server message, so after quitting about 10 games and not getting the loss nor the loyalty, I had to play one and then forfeit another 9 or 10. I must have started 30 matches to forfeit 20.
 
Started a career. Only player I’ve bought is Zaha. Trying to swap Sanchez for a good CB.

Closing the application is enough

You don’t have to do that. Turning off the game is enough

Yeah that sucks. I think it’s stupid that you need loyalty for the SBCs. Doing the glitch is boring and pointless, and playing 10 games with a crap team that you’re going to get rid of anyway is a proper pain in the ass.

Takes much longer if you do that though? by turning the network off then back on it just takes you back to the main menu on FIFA so you can just go straight back into Ultimate Team.

Yeah. Tried both and disconnecting is definitely a lot quicker. Takes an age to start the game back up again.

Oh, yeah that’s true. For some reason I thought the game would have to be restarted too
 
Having major problems with my download speed on PS4. Fifa 19 download currently says 85 hours, I have good internet generally and never have issues streaming or playing online.

Any tips on how to speed it up? Taking literally days to install a game is beyond a joke.
 
Won all my SB today and even beat and 85 rated team on pens. Elite 1 looking comfortable now as I have 4 games in hand and am 2k clear of Elite 2.

Have to say despite my struggles I'm really enjoying this Fifa but I think EA messed up when trying to create a skill gap between the pro's and the rest they actually made it smaller. I've only taken one hammering and whether I deserve to win by 5 or lose by 5, the final score rarely sees more than 2 goal gaps in favour of the others. AI defending is crazy good this year.

Put PS4 in rest mode, but make sure your settings mean it downloads in rest mode.
 
You literally have to tackle someone about 12 times to actually win the ball back online. It just bounces around and falls back to them every time.
 
Literally wtf is up with online. I nick the ball off someone and I’m barely 3 metres up the pitch and they’ve caught me up.

And have you even seen Fred's face ingame? :wenger:

I know right.

Is there a no cnuts mode? Like people that don’t have Ronaldo Salah and Messi front lines 2 days into the game? I’m trying to play the ball into Benteke up front with Andre Grey on the wing.
 
Does anyone know why silver contracts are more expensive than gold ones? I put up silver ones for 200 and sold in seconds because I didn't think they'd actually be worth anymore more.
 
Any cheap recommendations for PL players? I picked up Arnautovic for 7.5k and he's been a monster for me.

My main priority is a new LW and a CM, any good shouts for about 5-10k coins?
 
Got Keylor Navas in a pack but I’m building a PL team. Best I’ve got is Zaha and TOTW Matip.

You don't need to tackle someone much but make yourself available to intercept, I never let them have much on balls, their passing rating is so awful because I knew where they pass. I average 70% possession with CBs playing so high block.

Like this,

Doucoure is quality as a defensive box to box. Wings are pretty expensive though

I've not tried him but Adams Traore is a nightmare to play against.

If you've been saving all the players you've got from packs instead of selling them then the Lucas SBC is crazy cheap. Cost me around 8k for an 86 rated RW.

I packed Kovacic and Lallana so need a defensive player for a bit of balance. He looks good cheers.

That's really cheap. Unfortunately I've sold most of my players from packs.

Adama stats look class for a 75 card. 96 sprint speed, 88 dribbling, 83 strength. With a chem style card to improve passing and shooting he'd be a very useful player to have.
 
Any tips for fifa 19? It seems as though you have to tackle atleast 5 times before you win the ball, as the opposition somehow always ends up with it no matter what.

But need tips in general though. It seems as I dont really get fifa 19 yet compared to previous years..
 
So with this squad battles thing if I miss an update I simply don't get to play it? I think there was one that stared at 1 last night and ran to 9 this morning. I missed that by an hour, does that mean it's gone if I don't play them between those hours?

You need to have them loaded. You can play them whenever but you need to update the list before it expires. So you have to play them before the next list expires.
 
The only question that needs to be asked: has anything significant changed in the career mode?

I watched a video on YouTube that said the only things that had been changed were obviously the Champions League licensing and that you can now train some physical stats (such as pace) as well as the usual passing, shooting etc.

I bought Zaha too. And got Koulibaly at CB who's unreal.
Sanchez and Lukaku seem realistically useless, despite their high overall stat. They're next to be replaced.
