Clubs is still quite buggy each time we've had someone make their debut it has lagged them out then we've had to turn the game on and off.

I have a serious problem on my hands. I've been playing my cousin in FIFA for years (always my man U vs his ac milan) and I used to dominate him, but the last 2 years we were pretty even and we played for the first time last night and I won 2, lost 3, and tied 3.

Problem 1:
He plays w/ 2 strikers (pato & robinho) and he scored 98% of his goals from breaking down the center of my Def. I play a 4-4-2 diamond (not the wide one) w/ the CDM w/ low attacking & high defensive duties. In the back and my rb & lb are pretty much worthless because they are too far out wide and my CB play too far off of the 2 ST to prevent them from getting the long ball which he always uses. Do I need to switch formations or man mark?

Problem 2:
He holds down the contain button on defense and I haven't figured out how to beat his defenders 1v1 w/ Rooney or Van Persie. I'm not that confident in skill moves or knocking it forward. Is this what I need to try?

Any tips or links to a youtube video are much appreciated.

My experiences in FIFA13 so far:

Load up game get online pass error: Have to reboot game
Play online h2h match get online squad error: Have to reboot game
Play online h2h match get stuck in load screen: Have to reboot game
Play UT online get stuck in load screen: Have to reboot game
Make a search on the UT auction house: Error message
Go online to make auction house search: Error message

Wow EA. Just wow.

Yeah Im getting super mad trying to search the auction house right now, getting the game tomorrow and was hoping to already have a team set up

Our club is pretty good. 5 straight division titles. /brag off

I can't really help you just wanted to post that I too have had a really hard time breaking down the contain defense...well actually it's been more whenever I play with my friends ever since I completely stopped pressing b or really using slide tackles and just using A for the most part the games have been sort of uncompetitive and they have not been able to get past me at all really. But when I play someone online utilizing it I have had trouble. One obvious remedy is just spamming crosses because contain gives you plenty of space to get the cross off and the other remedy I have found is just simply getting the pass to the target man up front center right outside the box, the contain leaves enough space to make one move to either side and pull off an RB shot either way. I'm sure the soccer puritans will have better ideas, I'm not real knowledgeable about the game

Ok im on.. Just wow at the everton team ratings

Howard our best player LOL

What a joke. What a joke

So Napoli aren't licensed, kinda annoying but they're pretty much the same but without the badge

is there an app which gives you the market value on UT?

Yeah what's the story there? I was like wtf when I saw that.

it looks like people are actually buying 100k coins for 45$ on ebay!!?!? Xbox too...guess i gotta finally go get the game and start flipping some big players.

changed my team to 4321 neymar - pato - hulk, neymar has scored like 3+ goals in his first 5 games

hes just ridiculous

When I pre-ordered FIFA 13 I got some free gold packs for FUT (one a week for I don't know how many weeks). Did anyone else gets this deal and know when we will get them? Have you received one yet?

Lederer?

Yeah tons went for that. 1 per week for 24 weeks. You should get one immediately when you go into UT iirc.

Link? I can't find anyone selling coins.

If that is the going rate though, makes me very tempted to stop playing and just start grinding coins.

360 Clubs is a go, if you want in search for a club called 4U st0f with the Roma kit.

Saturday Night division 6 grinding what a life

Is anyone else having a problem connecting?? Ive played maybe 6 games online and cant ever connect. Keeps saying opponent found and then connection to opponent has been lost. Why is EA and fifa the worst!? Theyve done nothing but get worse and worse since 08.

So many midfield options for brazil in FUT this year, guess it will take some experimenting to figure who want to play with

Also seems like there are a lot of way to make coins this year, wonder if this means prices are going to get progressively super high to the point its outrageous.

What are the ways to make coins that you are talking about? playing games, working the market...

matchmaking is like 500% better tonight

getting 12-18 shots on goal every game with this formation - tactics are basically fast buildup with crossing pumped up to 95 - interestingly enough this is not resulting in a lot of headers/volleys off crosses - most goals are coming from screamers from right outside the box with poldoski/kroos

There are all those EA bonuses you can buy that are like +1k coins for every game. Also it seems like games are worth about same number of coins as last year, but if you win the "season" you get a several thousand coin bonus.
