Has anyone had any long unbeaten streaks on this one ?

Last year i often went on huge unbeaten streaks winning the cup multiple times in a row. This year i just never get that, and its clear that every now and then despite having full chem/morale your team is just awful.
I dont think its because of seasons as you can tell when your playing vs good opponents, and you can tell when your team is just not playing as is should do. Players constantly have heavy touches, bad control, get beaten for every single header or shoved off the ball non stop. Couple games later all is good and your team is crushing again, making good passes and your back to scoring 4-5 a game rather than struggling to get 1.

Am i being paranoid or do other people notice this a lot as well?

Think its pretty unanimous, doubt anyone would disagree.

Also when your 90 pace striker is getting reeled in by a big donkey CB.

EA created a high variance game and its earning them a lot of money simply because people are just trying to improve their side to look for the answers as to why they cant win like they have in previous years.

I think they must universally handicap defenders pace to make it more comparable to attackers. There are so many CBs who have like 60-70 pace who will routinely keep up with 90+ pace attackers. I guess it would make for a pretty boring game if the attackers were just perpetually able to run past any defender

the only CB i am ever able to run past is Terry

every other one is guaranteed to get to me, pull me down by my shoulder and get away with it

90 pace without the ball =! 90 pace with the ball

Fall into place, Fifa 08 unbelivable feels like i listened to it yesterday but 5 years ago!

Fever Fever, Fifa 08 is one of my favourite songs of all time, all my friends still have it in their itunes n it gets a serious pop when we are hanging out and it comes on.



This is a fun watch tho, so many songs you'll remember. think i could probably sing along to 90%


Blur n Chumbawumba n bloc party lol amazing. Actually incredible how recent these songs feel n how much time i must have spent listening to them when i was 8 to 22

gay
hoped for a cool prize when winning the "no coin" tourney but it actually really is just no coins :\

500k for sale on xbox pm me if interested, sold 700k to another 2+2er before.

Just came here to say this. Wish I checked first. Should have known when I won every round with ease.

lol i saw that and went "wtf why would i play for no coins" so i just decided to win the gold cup again

yep no probs buying from him

4321 is pretty goat. still bein trolled by EA but goddamn.

weird
442 hummels with a 30% price increase so far while 41212 is only at 10%

Probably pretty obvious, but which of these two 3-5-2 would be the better choice? Obviously leaning towards (2) but just want to see if Im missing something before I buy the couple players I need. (Both have everyone at 9 chem)

(1)

welliton-Pato
Hernanes
Robihno- Ramires- IF Luiz - Hulk
Dede Silva Santana
Alves

(2)
welliton - Pato
Diego (or Kaka)
robinho Hernanes IF Luiz Hulk
Silva Chiellini Dede
Buffon

ah and the manager market seems like a good coin maker too
good side market

lol 1 is almost my exact fitness team. pretty standard brazil pace 352, does what its supposed to

just changed my reserves to this



looking forward to trying out IF mandu

Thats what I figured, but seems like the fact that GK is only linked to middle CB is a pretty good thing to exploit by sticking Buffon-Chiellini in there, but wasnt sure if it would be better to keep silva in the middle and hernanes as CAM (love his 5* weak).

Overall I think Im going to make (2), having silva-chiellini- dede in the back is probably pretty awesome, plus will have luiz as CDM to win a ton more headers in midfield than Im used to

o crap, didnt realize buffon cost like 50k, I just assumed all keepers were less than 10k lol.

guess I will have to wait a little while on making that version of the team

i had that for a while and it wasnt as good as i thought although i think i had gustavo over luiz and mata/torres/aguero up top

wasnt as good defensively or not as good attacking? I've been playing a 3-5-2 some with falcao and bezema up top and I like the formation a lot, just seems like there are a ton of easy goals to be scored from the counterattack with pacey ST's so I wanted to give it a shot. Having the two CDMs seems to get me a lot of steals in the range where you can easily through ball it to the ST and let them run onto it.

3 million + to sell PS3 if anyone wants some..........

yup!



... whats the main advantages of a 2nd team ? just fitness reasons and i guess keeps the game fresh ?

Yeah plus nice to have decent subs if you're chasing or defending a lead

Can you tweak it so you can use wingers? I play as liverpool in seasons, 4-2-2-2 with sterling and assaidi/coutinho as the CAMs but chem not important there.

Something where you can use sterling assadi wide would be good though so you can drop allen and have gerrard in the middle.

Would be sick to win div 1 with that though, i'm behind this experment!
