u siko how havent u opened it an not played it clearly not a footie fan i cudn wait!I would practise for 10 games to get in swing off it then walaa shud be used to it now down to ur skill!

Unsure as to how to buy game and not play. first thing I do is get energy drinks and play a marathon session.

Ahhhh what an end to my season. Needed 7 pts in last 3 games, draw first game then go down 2-1 @ 80 minutes in 9th game but come back to a 3-2 victory and need a win in last game. Ends 0-0 after timing out in a free kick @ 18yds and missing a ****ing penalty in stoppage time. Still in div 5...

Bought a new 46" samsung 3d tv today. Fifa seems laggy, like the picture lags. Give it a few more games, if no better its going back

Paid extra for the better picture quality too.

On a mini fifa downswing, lost a game 5-4 today in extra time, 3-0 down on 78 mins, the most amazing goal to get 3-3 in dieing seconds, miss 2 pens in extra time and he scores 2 complete luckbox goals

sc00by you really have to tweak the settings in the menu on those tv's, especially for games. my roommate got the newest samsung 240hz led 3d etc. and the same thing was happening. just go through the entire menu, advanced picture options, etc. i think the biggest thing with that is the trumotion, which you prob. want to turn completely off for games - i also think there might be a specific setting you can use for games that makes it much better. just do some google searching and trial and error until you get it right. i managed to fix it a lot but there still is a bit of that lag.

also so ****ing tilting. breezed through to div 4, started getting a bit lackadaisical and ended up drawing a bunch of games off absolutely stupid **** like being up and getting distracted, giving up idiotic penalties, etc. so 2 games left in season i need 6 pts. first game win 2-0, 2nd game up 2-1 in 90th min, keeper saves a cross, i hit A by mistake and throw it right to opponent in front of an open net. lol. it's ridic how similar fifa is to poker if your not fully focused and tilting you really will lose so much more. although i did tilt grind a few more games and won 2 drew 1 so div 3 here i come.

really?

anyway, i just jumped online with zero experience and got raped for like the first 500 games, so i would recommend practicing offline first to someone who hasn't touched the game yet.

how so many games have u played fifa over the years surely ur skill level on 10,11 would carry over jest adjust to new angles and defending?

Drexah thanx for advice mate will do that when i get home( on blockbuster carpark while she fetches a 3d movie ldo)

I got the 400hz model 46" 3d led, not that i know what 400hz means, lol, i know it cost my monthly win rate, lol

Need serious help with these settings. Im getting a shooting star whenever I take a shot or go for a change of pace with a player. Still feels like theres a delay, even when browsing menus.

Reading stuff about someone paying £200 to have theirs calibrated. Also looking at getting the DIY DVD that supposedly does it for you. Even that is £30.

Check the AVS forum. They have specific threads/forums for different TVs and usually some videophile has compiled all the adjustments to optimize your TV for whatever.

hahah just played the coolest game.

So I score a free kick at 4.57 min or something, then kick off goes, and obv opponent presses start. Except it's 5.01 !!!! I am already happy with what's going to ensue, so I just make passes for the whole half time (I mean I would NEVER do that), and attack when times goes over 45.00, only to score a goal. Can't imagine the dismay. Then took the whole replays to send him some message about how cool it is to quit (I never do) and more generally to be a ****ing idiot. SCUMBAG

Speechless

Finally got the game today. First game disconnect loss but 9 straight wins after heading into Div 8. The game totally falls right into my natural style (dribbling, passing, low pressure defense).

Built a pretty nice formation to give a lot of space and freedom for Messi and Cesc (or whoever is playing LCM, so many to choose from).



Obviously Masch and Sergio should be playing RDM but I haven't really ran into any trouble in the beginning divisions so I just stick Xavi there most of the time. Also play Sanchez at LB quite a bit just for kicks.

Gonna start building my pro soon (ps3) - what position are you guys lacking?

you could change xavi's role to RCM or CM, with the same attack/defensive style or work rate and his stats would improve.

i mean when you look at his stats when you set him to RDM it must say hes like 70 overall? like putting ronaldo at CDM in the matchup screen it would say he's so much lower than if you put him at LM or w/e. does anyone know for sure if their stats really do drop that much in game?

Anyone got any tips for Free Kicks apart from pray?

Xavi's overall doesn't suffer that much at CDM role...drops to like a 82-84. He's just a sick holding midfielder. Masch will take his place once I run into some ppl that don't drool. He disrupts everything and his ball control stat is super high. Annoying that he can't shoot, though.

Has anyone noticed the GKs are actually human in 12? Casillas is still tough to beat but there's a lot more deflection-off-the-GK-goals than last year.

Also, is UT still silly arcadish?

Their stats stay the same, its just that overall rating is determined by a handful of stats for each position. So if you put Ronaldo at CDM and he drops to 75. Thats because his defending, tackling etc are all really weak. He will still have 90+ pace, dribbling, shooting etc.

In the first FUT you could train your players up to 99. Well with defenders you only needed to train defending, heading, pace. Improving their shooting really didnt change much for them in terms of overall rating. Midfielders it was passing, dribbling, pace, shooting.

In a word - YES !!

Switching between FUT, h2h seasons and clubs is so hard for me, I had a mare yesterday in all forms of FIFA(I did manage to win my 1 and only h2h seasons game though). Couldnt defend for **** at FUT, couldnt make simple 5 yard passes at clubs.(probably the 2 strongest areas of my game usually)

But yea the dif between FUT and h2h seasons is rediculous. I go from using my FUT team which is Bayern plus Hummels and Podolski, to using Bayern in h2h seasons and its like going from using Brazil to using 11 Emil Heskeys.

2nd try in div 4 i go 6-1-0 -.- now just have to stay off the fifa tilt heh.

rm/man city are beeeast in this weeks updates.

i know i complained a bit about it before but i do really like how smooth and fast the matchmaking is. i've only had one guy quit at the start of the game because he was the same team as me. i do wish though you could save your formation/squad so you didn't have to change it every time but meh. also no h2h lobbies is great imo, it was pathetic how ppl in past years would bum hunt the lobbies and their average opponent level was like 4 and they were top the leaderboards.

still don't know how i feel about draws. i kinda hate how if i'm up 1 i'm actually cautious now to attack (i had a ridiculous spell of draws where i should have won nearly all of them) but in the overall sense of head 2 head seasons i guess it's alright.

watch youtube vids, it really helps, learn the three main types of fks, and find a player you are comfy with to get used to him and his power bar. shoot a lot in arena from all distances/angles. watch if you opponent makes the wall jump, in which case sneak it under at the next free kick with L1/LB and a short push.
I think the 12 (relegation) 18 (promotion) system past div 6 or 5 makes it that way. For the most part it is useless to get draws unless you get 3. I have not thought in depth about the point system, but something like 13 - 19 would probably make it both more challenging and interesting

that said im now 4 points away of div1 with 3 games to go, so I guess a draw could be of some interest at some point!

ship it
did in 12 seasons, 9 promotions, 3 stay, 0 relegation for a 57-15-27 general record.
Made it before the last game in div2, needed 4 points at 3 games left.

First game vs MU, tough opponent, down 1-0 with 42% possession at HT, changed form and managed a 2-1 lead at 81th minute, bus was then parked.
Second game vs Barcelona, solid opponent too, scored for an early lead before being caught up on just before half time, managed a counter attack for 2-1 lead, and at 87th minute he came back but I held in spite of a crossbar shot for him. Was sweating at the end!
