Boosted my team with Benzema and a way better keeper, seems a lot more competitive now.

I figured out what was going wrong with my defending - I think I got into the tilted habit of mashing on the RT too much while defending so I have played a few games concentrating on moving defenders properly and not getting dragged out of position.

Still getting shoved off the ball way to easily around their box though, frustrating...

Compared to FPS games where you hold the RT for a max of like half a second at a time, FIFA definitely has a longer RT pull time. My players are never really running out of sprintspeed/stamina at the ends of games so I don't think I use turbo too much

Just because of their pace? I already have Mangala but bought Mexes to see how he does.

Good call on Sissoko his stats are mostly better where it counts but his overall rating is way lower.... go figure?

Edit: no good, Sissoko breaks the chemistry because neither my LB or RB play in Ligue 1

I've spent the whole day refreshing my trade pile every hour and only sold two of my good players and a few bronze donks, frustrating stuff!

Re: FIFA 12

H2h seasons is so redic soft, I just won around 20 games in a row starting from division 7. Not one game was even close. I expect it will start getting tough around div 3?

The problem I have is scoring. I seem to be missing redic amounts of chances, even when I win 5-0 it could have been 15-0.

I just lost that last game 3-2, I had 23 shots to his 3. Bit gutted about losing my streak but meh, game was pretty lol, I will still get promoted with ease.

Later on tho Im pretty sure I will pay the price for not being clinical.

Tips?

Finesse shots are no where near as effective it seems, is this accurate?
Low driven shots seem way more likely to score than in FUT also.

I only finesse from the designated finesse shot zone, and it works pretty well. I do send a lot wide though...

Re: FIFA 12

I'll add you Kantu when I get back on. I have to make myself send a few resumes before I let myself play any more matches. I did make a VP but haven't really explored it too much. Would love to join the next ps3 2p2 match.

Just started playing with the NY Red Bulls in H2H and they are a fun team (3 star). Very aggressive. Finishing is a challenge as I'm used to Dzeko, Augero, and Tevez.

This is why i was shocked when i moved over FUT and found out you could jsut finesse every close shot in. I dont use finesse in H2H, just power. You can hold the shoot button down for a lot longer than in FUT.

Re: FIFA 12

Yea IIRC me cashy and some others were talking about this earlier ITT. I remember drawing some paint diagrams to show that 1v1, finesse just owns in FUT. Its not working in h2h.

Gonna have another decent session tonight, need 7 points from 6 games to hit div 4. My plan is to hit div 3 tonight. Depends how much tougher the games get/how much worse I can run.

Re: FIFA 12

Boredom basically.

Every team I have built for the last 2 months has kept me interested for about 3 days each.

Ive spent redic amounts on coins, built completely sicko teams, for me to get bored within hours of using them.

tbh using custom formations has bought my hunger back a little, but Ive found it too easy lately. I want to build better teams now but Ive gotten rid of a lot of coins and really dont want to buy more as I wont get any value for them.

Going to h2h was always part of the plan for me. Not this early though, I expected to go to that a few weeks before FIFA 13. Im not going to sell off my FUT though, I will no doubt get back into it in a couple of weeks time.
