Gaming FIFA 23

This years fifa is more about build up play… all the previous ones was about speed. I don’t like it that you can score a goal and then concede straight from kick of. It’s a lot slower the game play but obviously they’ve still got to do all the updates yet.
 
Is there any point in manual control players getting this game? FUT still refuses to have a control type filter, seasons the amount of other players is dropped a lot over the years and offline play is always a joke

Anyone?
 
Did you get them last night or today? Clubs bare bones atm not that there's anything to put the cards into but rather get them soon instead of having to deal with dupe central.

last night sometime between 18:00 - 19:00. Came up with a thank you for being understanding / patient message, and gave me a pack. Can't remember what was in it other than this Lincoln player,.
 
I have to say I’ve been incredibly lucky with my packs so far this year. Packed Mbappe day one in a 2x 75+ player pack which I’m still in shock about. He guided me to 13 wins on WL and I got red pick Ben Yedder who is the ideal partner. Trying to wrangle the fodder/coins together to get that valverde card as he fits my team like a glove. Think I should be able to get him after tomorrows rewards.

My biggest gripe at the moment is how much some people are taking the piss in the build up.The only games I lose are where my opponent has about 65% of the ball playing an incredibly slow and boring game. I just don’t have the patience for it and going onto high press just seems to play into their hands. I’m trying to learn in those games to be more patient but it’s hard when you know any possession loss will result in 5 mins without seeing the ball again.
 
Yep utter bs and i'm saying that as someone who profited off it. What's even worse than the people who missed out is the people who had heroes, they effectively lost up to like 80-90% on some of them. The elite ones bounced back sort of but it's crazy how they can just ignore it and nothing gets done.
Thanks, its just so wierd that they dont say anything.

Also many of the biggest youtubers, who also profited from this are also calling EA out and saying this is not cool. Its so out there with so many calling them out. Yet they still havent said anything.
 
The skill gap between division 10-5 and division 4 is ridiculous.

I coasted my way to Div 4 now I’m playing top tier icons every game.

I feel like there’s a definite point when your rare gold cards dont function and the pay to win element takes over.

What's your team? Div 4 and above new gen is a snooze fest, old gen feels a lot better (to me anyway) probably going to stay in div 4 or maybe push for 3 but not going any higher, already bored of the 5 atb boys.

EA have a partners program don't they? Hopefully someone involved in in that calls them out, i know the fifa forums mods have supposedly passed on the problems but wouldn't hold my breath for anything.

Just to add on that they clearly don't care, even after the hero error they chose to release a pack that said that you had a 90% chance of a 86+ for 25k. Turns out that for the 1st time ever they've decided to use the loan cards that you got added to the the equation so it heavily swayed the odds :lol: Thought i got unlucky when i packed a 84 turns out i was kind of lucky because most got 83's.

Pickford

IF dalot
Varane
Diego carlos
Robertson

Bruno
Kovacic
De Bruyne (untradable)

Sterling
IF trossard
G.Jesus

So nothing of value really although the team has been brilliant but it's very hot and cold now when facing ronaldos, mbappes, cruyff etc every game.

Yeah can see where you'd come unstuck with that team and level of opponent. It's the Haaland and btec Haaland i'm struggling with, seems everyone has one or the other or even worse both together. I assume you've done the nations and league SBC's? If not easy 100k packs there or the 500 g/a for 2 more 100k's and a 50k should help bolster your team with a few upgrades.

Another thing i have is that all text is gone on my Ultimate team menus, so when we get those news things when you log in, its just blank.

Done them thats where I got my De bruyne from but the rest I didnt get over 84 rated. Still got the 500 g/a ones though.

I refuse to load up fifa points this year and I've got about 120k in the bank. I'm already at the point were I get my 8 weekly wins for div rivals then I'm done on fifa. I don't play weekend league as I don't have time.
 
Finally got the Valverde card over the line. Looking forward to trying him tomorrow. Also invested in the road to champions league Lemar. Atletico crashing out has dropped his value by 150k!
 
I've got a pretty poor team and 45k in coins. Is it worth doing the starter SBCs like Hybrid Leagues etc and hoping to pack some better players?

Team is

Pickford
Renan Lodi
Romero
Diego Carlos
Nelson Semedo
Verratti
Nuno Mendes
Paqueta
Coman
Sancho
Felix

All gold.

I'm holding my own so far against much better teams, into div 7. Not got further yet as I've only played 2 or 3 evenings since it was released.

So I did League and Nation Hybrid + Hybrid Nation SBCs with all of my coins. Best pulls were 87 TAA, 86 Laporte and 85 Iago Aspas :lol: First two I'm not using as I refuse to have a City or Liverpool player in my team (I red picked 99 De Bruyne a couple of years ago and had to be convinced to put him in :lol:). So my team is no better but I've some fodder. Shame it's all untradable this year, what's that about?

@Frank White telling @dannyrhinos89 his team isn't that great, but it's miles better than mine! Hopefully my luck changes soon as I'm falling behind already.
 
Anyone having serious performance issues on pc? I can have a perfect session winning comfortably 4/5, and on the next day I go for 6 straight losses. I can also feel players not responding to my controls and the game is stuttering even in animations. Doesn't help that its seems every day something needs an update.
I have an old laptop but on some occasions it runs perfectly.

Yeah it's been a nightmare. The new anticheat software both doesn't work and is incredibly taxing on CPUs.

Have you made sure the resolution in game matches what you're running natively? Mine was trying to run in 4k for some godforsaken reason.
 
My players will randomly just stop running and go into a permanent jockey on and off the ball where any player I'm controlling can't run. Pretty annoying.
 
How can you still pause when you give away a penalty, I'm sure they removed that like 2 years ago.

Struggling like mad to qualify for fut champs, get a penalty to go ahead with only a couple minutes left and the guy just pauses and quits
 
Really enjoying playing 2 player. It takes me back to when that’s all we had with pro evolution, either master league or playing hours and hours against your friend. If online gaming wasn’t a thing and therefore no ultimate team, it would be far and away the best football game ever made IMO.

Apart from they fecked the ground pass speed. So it's actually hard to build up because you either get a crap pass that's easy to read or a soft pass that only goes 2 yards.. Fixing it in the next patch though.

Isn't so much his teams bad because he's obviously good to get to div 4 with it but once you get to the higher divs the level team you face + the ability of players makes a huge difference.

They sort of doubled the rewards but made them untradeable, personally don't mind it because I'm typically a first owner player and with the amount of content they release weekly you normally upgrade from week to week. The game is becoming a bit too much of a formality though. Friday new promo, Monday upgrades make team for the week/WL and rinse and repeat.

Yeah I know what you mean. I've barely been able to put any time into it so far, hence my team. Though I did pack Van Dijk and Goretzka today. VVD isn't going in my team though. He will be sat with TAA and Laporte in my reserves :lol: Might even consider doing an SBC if any are worthwhile? Sterling maybe?

Sterling is class for me and 1 more win he'll get a upgrade too. You need to use Van Dijk honestly he's so good just chuck him in a UTD kit and nobody will ever know ;) Packed Mane from rewards this morning so will sell the OTW once he gets his 3rd win.

Sucks how bad the markets dropped lost quite a big chunk on some players. Overall probably lost coins for competing in WL..... Going to stop buying for weekend league.
 

Taking this into WL sold all my high value tradeable outside of Sanches, Mane and Wan-Bissaka. Will still end up with 11 wins but whatever.

Whoagh, how much time have you put in to this?

I thought I was bad getting a quick game in in between the school run and work starting, and then having a lunch break to fit in a couple more. Then in to the evening, and I'll have to "keep an eye" on the dinner, (even though its just spending its time in the oven) and play a couple more. My main xbox is in the kitchen which allows this

:lol: I threw everthing I have into the Sterling SBC in the end! My team right now is:

Pope
Jesus Navas
Diego Carlos
Araujo
Spinazzola
Verratti
Matheas Nunes
Paqueta
Sterling OTW
Felix
Sancho

What is Paqueta RTTK like? Think I'll give him a try at some point if it keeps up with the curve as his gold is pretty decent. And how did you get Pele, pack luck or saving? Nice team.

I'm considering buying Casemiro to probably replace Verratti or Matheas Nunes (a harder decision than you'd think...MN is pretty cracked on the game with Architect). Have you tried him or faced him? With the 'lengthy' trait I think he might do a good job for me, even if his pace looks too low.

I've played 32 rivals games and played about as many squad battle games too. So all in all with the WL about 90 ish, which does sound a lot but honestly atm it's just log in do my 8 games and wait for WL.

Not tried him yet, yet to even use the team as a whole will do tomorrow in WL. Packed Pele from one of the 100k packs you get. How much have you got? honestly Sanches is a game changer for me.
 
does that not give you the win anyway?

No they just get the loss but you don't get the win, managed to qualify eventually anyways, so hopefully get a boost to my team over the weekend. Already packed mount so think I'll save any picks I get for next week in the hope Ederson gets a totw against the dippers

Don't think you can do that with the red picks, they're locked to the TOTW that weekend.

And my pack luck is atrocious, decided to just have a first owner team but it's going to be tough in weekend league tomorrow. Was desperate enough and did the Thiago Silva SBC which is overpriced, like a lot. Also did the Leeds double one and to be fair Rodrygo is decent up top. Will probably come up against monster teams but hoping for 9 wins.

@Meller is correct - the red picks are locked to the week you played WL. If you save TOTW packs, however, they will be for whatever the TOTW is at that time (and a solid strategy is to save them for Black Friday when EA have sometimes had a best of TOTW in packs alongside the usual one).

Nice to see someone else going first owned, I'm currently 2 from 5 so on target for 8 typically.

EDIT: Just to add a bit more what's your side looking like? I've got semi lucky with packs and got Cancelo and VVD both untradable plus Mount IF.

Running this

Ramsgate
Semedo Carlos VVD Cancelo
McTominay Kaka(Loan)
Rodriguez
Pulisic Nunez Harrison

Well I just packed Son and Ljungberg in the same pack, my only good rewards from 9 wins in the WL.

I played with:
Martinez
Walker FB Silva Gomez Shaw
Mahrez Casemiro Silva Harrison
Nunez Rodrygo

Should have got to 11 wins but some of EAs finest put a stop to that. What's annoying is the rewards as my red picks were complete trash and my TOTW pack had a high of 81.

Edit: Will now use Ljungberg as RM and Son as LM so not a total disaster in regards to WL rewards but still, a decent red pick would have been nice!
 
Just packed Haaland Finally got a good pack.

I might just use him rather than sell as I feel he will keep his price for quite sometime.

Impressive you’ve got through the whole WL in a day haha
