Apparently FIFA were getting greedy
At least EA can see how it feels to be on the other end of it!
Apparently FIFA were getting greedy
Yeah but I’m with EA on this oneAt least EA can see how it feels to be on the other end of it!
do you buy it every year? I’ve not played a FIFA since 18 so I’m telling myself it’s because I need to relearn how to play the game. Im getting by on world class difficulty against the AI unless I come up against a team miles better than mine and I really struggle. Haven’t ventured into proper online gameplay until I sort out defending because I know I’ll get proper angry.
Yeah they've already registered EA Football FC or something like that. Probably a name change next year.
Does that mean they could lose a lot of the licenses they currently have?
Surprise surpriseApparently FIFA were getting greedy
Where did you get that pack? I can't see it on SBCs.So I packed Ronaldo this evening! Got him in the Prime PL Players pack. Couldn’t quite believe it!
£1bn over 4 years is definitely greedy!Apparently FIFA were getting greedy

I see, thanks - I will never reach that unfortunatelyIt's the level 27 progress reward
Ah, EA makes that in a year, with just FIFA.£1bn over 4 years is definitely greedy!
Just move on from ultimate team? Seasons is great fun at the moment because the first few divisions are a breeze!Think I'm done with this game until they bring back relegation.
Getting smashed every single game isn't fun anymore. I've not won a game in my last 10 now.
I feel like I preferred Cancelo to Walker, anyone tried both? My mind is saying use Walker as he is faster, stronger, and better defensively stats-wise but my heart is saying Cancelo.

I'm proper dogshit. Can't defend, can't shoot, can't dribble.
Everyone I play against seems to be constantly pressuring my players, feck knows how. It's batshit crazy.
Also, I see the skills bullshit is back.
Maybe I'm too old and I should be Scrabble or something.
What division are you in?
That FIFA and EA split is actually huge news, probably deserves a thread of it's own.
FIFA currently searching for a new developer to make a big new football game to compete directly with EA. Sounds like the perfect time for 2K to finally enter the fray.
Why the feck does your formation change if you change to attacking or something else? Can't they just press more and stuff?
Also why can't my keeper catch feck all? no matter who I put in goal they think they're playing volleyball the knobheads.
Changing formation via tactics was actually one of the best things EA have done in the past few years - before changing formation via tactics was a thing, every single match would start with someone pausing so as to change their formation to their liking.
If you go to custom tactics on the squad page you can adjust these to your liking - and then in game on the fly if you're chasing or defending a lead you can change as needed easily.
Does it affect every squad, or just the squad youve changed it on at that time? I got confused when trying to do it before
I'll give it a go, any tips on how to beat super keepers?Just the squad you're currently using. Each squad has their own set of custom tactics. I've got 4 different formations and tactics set up, and then the one I use for chem is obviously the balanced at the start.

Or win a header?

What’s this about FIFA and EA falling out? Rumours are FIFA looking for a new developer and FIFA22 might be the last as we know it
EA makes such huge money with their FIFA series, because they have no competition and because of Ultimate Team. I don't see why another developer would be willing to pay a licensing fee that EA themselves aren't willing to pay to keep the status quo going. Anyone new would have to split the market with EA and compete with a very established product. And politicians slowly seems to be cracking down on FUT's profits as well.
Basically it allows you to put any player you want into any position and they'll keep the chemistry they started on.
For instance, right now in my starting lineup I have Matthaus CB and Desailly CDM - but when I change my tactics / formation, they swap places and both will be on 10 chemistry still. Does that make sense?
Oh so people will be making a 100 chem team and then changing formation straight away and keeping the full chem even though it would be lowered if they put that formation on their main screen? That correct?
Yep exactly. Before they allowed for changes to be made on the fly most people would pause so as to adjust their team as seen fit.
I see.
Still, by default it shouldn't change formation just because you went attacking, you should have to set it up that way.
I remember the days of just picking up a pad and playing, now you've gotta be an expert tactician just to win a game ffs
Thankfully that has remainedHopefully they haven't changed the siuuuu where it's just Ronnie doing it with that stupid vacuum face, and none of the crowd join in. Because I piss myself with laughter every time.
