Gaming FIFA 19

Still here :)

I stopped playing FIFA when the Pro Club split - I never got as frustrated with the game when we played as some of the people. Was annoying how the game engine worked sometimes, but I just enjoyed playing matches with the guys.

Not online as much now - use a different PSN (as my son seems to have taken over my old one!) and just sent you a friend request :)
Get a room.
 
Got Mbappe from the UCL tradeable SBC yesterday.. sold him for 800k and then made another 500k from sniping Liverpool players :lol::lol:
Ffs lucky bitch :lol: You can literally buy all of keane, scholes and giggs with that. I thought I was doing well getting one of them now...
 
So many times i go to tackle because the ball appears exposed and my player just boots it out of play. Infuriating.

The latest things that have been annoying me:

- That thing where if the ref or one of their players is in your way, your player will do that kind of weird jump round that completely takes them out of the game.
- Opponent played a shit pass that was going out for a goal-kick and before I realised, my keeper had run over to it and his touch made it go out for a corner.
- It being basically impossible to track 1-2's as when you move a player into position to block the pass, as soon as you change player he will run the feck away from there.
- My players doing oafish attempts at intercepting balls that they have no chance of getting but in doing so take themselves out of the game. I think I saw I can turn this off. Has anyone tried it? Will it be one of those things I realise does more good than bad once it's off?

Also I've noticed that my defenders also catch up to opposition strikers pretty easily despite not being the paciest. It's a bit dumb how I can feck up and still recover with people like Matip.
 
Pulled the trigger on Giggs' 87 card (his young version). Both that one and his older card (89 rated) were around the same price, younger one is much quicker though so went for that. Got Kasper Schmeichel in goal... close enough to his dad.
Made this team with the coins I had left over.. Not usually a pace whore but needed a #10, striker and right wing for now. Adama and King are cheap, Zaha just looks good all around and better than Lingard for the system.

Schmeichel
CL-Trippier Smalling Christensen Shaw
Adama Doucoure CL-Gundogan Giggs
Zaha
King​

Just played my first game. How the feck so you shoot??

Pleased that I held my own and got a draw on a legendary FUT SB game. Would have won handsomely had I been able to hit a barn door.

The ping pong passing by mediocre opposition was pretty ridiculous though. And I'm not sure if it's just Schmeichel or all GKs but he punched absolutely everything.
 
Well that didnt go to well pack wise.. spent all my coins on moura sbc... have 7k and fabregas best pull the rest 1k
 
Think you have to make use of multiple game plans on this iteration of Fifa. I use 4-3-2-1 with one fullback on get forward, one fullback on stay back always, as well as one midfielder on stay back. My attacking 'game plan' is set to higher depth, width and constant pressure. My balanced one is narrower and deeper with fast build up, and my defensive one narrow, deep with possession. If you get all three right and switch between them in-game (depending on circumstances) I find I can control the flow of the game better.
 
Just remembered they gave me some voucher code when I bought the game. Think it has a gold pack in it or something.

I find it's a terrible idea to have everyone bombing forward in this version, which is good. When I was first playing online I kept getting exposed majorly on the counter. Switched to 3 in midfield and instructed two to stay back and I've fared much better.

That goalkeeper punching is my biggest hate in the game so far. Ball coming into box, straight at IF Cech with no pace, simple catch right? Nope, he's totally going to punch the ball to that onrushing attacker, whose going to stick it in the top corner with a perfect timed finish from the edge of the box despite the fact his finishing is 4.

Are you alright mate??
 
Can't get this new SBC to submit - every time I try it logs me out?

Haha I know, I got some other lucky pack pulls earlier which has helped me even more :lol: which one of the three did you buy?

Got Giggs (87) for 416k. Feels like Sane with more finesse/better passing and crossing but slightly slower.
 
I solely play clubs but from the admittedly very little I’ve played so far, it seems easier to pressure and disposses the AI which I like. This is a sample of about 5 games so I could be completely wrong.

I went for 3 and got Khedira, which I was happy with until I checked his price and saw he costs 5k. I'm probably gonna go for the coins going forwards
 
I received 3.5k, 2 gold packs and a jumbo premium pack. Quite happy with what I got to be honest considering I played about 5 games lol
 
I like the pace of the game and the variance in first touch that they've put in, but is it just me or is there an extreme input lag? Players take ages to pass the ball or get a shot off. That's fine when you're playing with some 75 rated CM, but playing with Modric and Kroos should make passing feel silky smooth and it's not. It's atrocious and completely spoils the game once you start progressing up the divisions and playing against competitive players.

I had a couple of games last night where I press pass and my player just keeps walking and moving but not releasing the ball, then the action of pressing x happens when I don't want it to 3 seconds later lol

Either 2 or 3. I’d say 3 right now since players are worth a lot compared to every other stage of the game.

Did you guys play Fut champions?

Divisions now uses the same dedicated servers. It’s not P2P where one of the player hosts anymore. Normal seasons the mode with real teams is. So try that and see if you get the same sluggishness, I know the gameplay is a bit slower in seasons. But if it’s you then the problem should be in seasons too. If it’s not then it’s probably the dedicated servers you get matched up in.

Yip I played FUT champions the last 2 years, never really had any issues. I follow a guy on twitter who has some issues too and uploads some of the stuff happens him, and its quite similar to what I get.

Finally have a decentish looking team to play.. Sold my OTW Jorginho because I had to otherwise would have held on to him in the hope he get upgrades.

2 or 3 for sure.
 
Pin-ball passing. Keepers are too unpredictable. conceding goals they get a hand or touch, ball trickling under them a lot. A lot of Blocked shots. Shooting feels weird. I feel like every shot goes straight rather than either side of the keeper. (But that's probably just me being rubbish at shooting still).

Maybe it's just me but the game feels a bit chaotic. I feel like it's too easy to bypass the midfield entirely before you are running at the defenders.

I've not played it much yet. I probably just need to get used to it.

I agree with that. I seen plenty of people saying its slower and what not but I think its very fast and chaotic also
 
Every time I get a pack with an 83 plus it's some random player I've never heard of.

Had loads of players saved up for the SBC but even trying that site I couldn't get the right combo and I can't be arsed to play matches with bronze players to build up chemistry. Put loads of players on the transfer market last night so we'll see how I do. Already saved 70k and I think I'd rather buy someone than waste it on packs.

I built my team with around that amount and its decent enough.. Can get a good team on the go for 50-60k easily
