Fifa 12

[mcuzzy]

i think he means when you pressure a defender, he has a few passing options and he runs all the way down to the corner flag and tries to clear it out of the stadium giving your team a huge advantage.

yes i know what you mean and yes it's annoying, thank god i haven't seen it happen once past professional difficulty

Was running into goal last night one on one against the keeper when my striker pulled up, done his hammy. Wasn't even pissed off, thought that it was good that they had that sort of a injury in there and the animation looked pretty spot on too.

i was playing vs barca with melb victory. iniesta broke his ankle and was sitting on the ground outside the box, cesc had a shot and the keep palmed it upwards towards the top of the box. iniesta quickly stood up, ran forward and volleyed it into the top corner and did a running celebration.

then it went to kick off and he sat down again, then slowly walked off the field

was hilarious

So they've made it harder, and less like an arcade game and you're complaining.
FIFA has been too easy in the past - and the improvements/changes have made it more difficult.
The CPU is far more intelligent and capable now.
The only complaint I'd have is that I'd like each side to play something resembling their own style. Doesn't feel right playing Stoke who pass the ball around like Barcelona.
Either way - the CPU has improved which makes gameplay more difficult and subsequently better.

Can someone please tell me - because I can't seem to find it - what FIFA's equivalent to PES's master league is - one that allows progressive seasons, including cup competitions - and allows transfers/squad management and everything else - all the while allowing the user to control their team on field as well. on the three options - manager, player-manager, and player none seem to allow that.

Please help guys.

Its simply Manager.

It's much better this year. I'm halfway through the season and some of my young players (Barkley, Coleman and Rodwell etc.) have all grown already.

Oh sweet, are you winning a lot?
Assuming both Coleman and Rodwell are in your 11, how often do you play Barkley?

 

[RickSanchez]

Hmm something must be up with my controller. Seriously crossing hardly ever works for me, they just boot it either straight forward or slightly to the direction im aiming at. Even with people known for putting in decent crosses.

Curse the AI's ridiculous way to dodge most tackles and know when they need to do a little dance. Also curse the AI defending where they magically stick a leg out and win the ball.

Signed Gotze from Dortmund for far too much.

 

[mcuzzy]

england team finally match ready but not complete

GK: Hart

RB: Walker (Rather fast half black man)
CB: Lescott
CB: Jagielka
LB: Baines

RM: Walcott
CM: Parker
CM: Milner
LM: Adam Johnson

ST: Bent
ST: Defoe

unfortunately my bench is agbonlahor, zamora, downing, wilshere, barry, gary cahill and the alcoholic pony tail sporting newcastle boy andy carroll.

so not much to choose from on my bench, sold crouch and beckham, they were just fillers.

ideally i would like lampard, gerrard, young, rooney, ferdinand, micah richards, terry and ash cole in the squad. not sure about glen johnson but maybe. that'll set me back well over 1 million coins :| lol long term project

anyone else i could nab in the mean time?

Check your controller settings. I can guarantee you've got the wrong settings for the buttons you're pressing.

 

[RickSanchez]

Wow EBIAC, something so obvious I didn't even really check because I thought I didn't touch it...so many settings seemed out of whack. I should do much better now, thanks for that.

What the hell mccuzzy how you afford that team?

I've got Downing as my LM and Jagielka as a CB. Taylor probably goes to the bench. How many coins have you won, who have you sold? Very interested to know this.

Wow...2-0 against Swansea, they somehow get it to 2-2 against the run of play, then like real life, the keeper did a short throw, Pedro cut it off and scored in the 89th minute to make it 3-2.

 

[mcuzzy]

probably wont happen now, but when the web app and game were first released, people were ******ed, putting players like samuel eto'o, kompany, mata, arteta, jesus naves etc. up for sale for 1000 buy it now. i nabbed heaps of players like that and sold them.

 

[RickSanchez]

You lucky bastard. haha

 

[groga]

Playing a season with Liverpool.

Got rid off Kuyt (not a fan)

And brought in Ribéry (love his pace)

Made a player RB 69 virtual pro but I didn't edit any of his stats as I thought they where per-determined with the weight/height of the player.

Pretty fun but yeah when the computer runs away with the ball so frustrating.

 

[Benno_900]

Change buttons?

Can you use different controls online?

There is a setting pre-match where you specify the type of controls you can use so I don't want to be screwed that way.

Try Classic

That is classic controls.

Bayern are the best team in this game by a mile IMO.

Starting to use them a bit more than Arsenal now.

Play a 4-3-3 / 4-2-1-3 with Ribery, Gomez and Robben up front and Muller just behind them. Pretty awesome.

Also, Napoli and Santos are great teams to use.

 

[Kaan]

Have you guys noticed how much the computer olds onto the ball with players now. I find when I play the CPU, they are go on many pointless dribbles, and often backwards.

Agree with this so much.

It's like you get punished for defending good, yesterday they held the ball for like 15 minutes in 1 go because I didn't allow them to go forward.

 

[RickSanchez]

I sent a bunch of the XBL users on here an invite to our pro club. If we can get a few of us on at the same time we should try get a game going. Don't worry if you're not great/high rated, we'll just play smart and should be able to put up a good effort against these highly rated but less intelligent players you find online.

**** playing a game now. Lag is disgraceful, **** internet sucks in Australia.

Wow I really need to play with people that arent selfish pricks. Also these guys just slide like idiots.

 

[groga]

Hey just sent bf babes a request tristan Grogan.

 

[RickSanchez]

Scored a goal on be a pro with some of the craziest lag you will ever see. I got caught offside a few times due to lag, otherwise I would have probably gotten higher than 4th ranking in the game. Quite pleased to get a goal.

I accepted the invite groga. Notorious, LiverSuarez, Beloved, Quy Amour and Hoyster still need to accept when you get time. We'll try get a game going soon, hopefully no damn lag.

Ahh...I think I just figured out something. I just went North Euro league without thinking. Probably should have chosen Australia, I thought it didn't really matter but if it means we'd get other Aussie teams, maybe I should remake the club?

 

[bok_party]

yes do that. We will get a better connection against Aussies.

 

[Xtreme]

Paid for and downloaded the pc version, which is now set up and partially installed. I'm still waiting for the game key to get sent via e-mail .

** Code has been sent, order has been restored to the fifa force

I did get the 360 version earlier this afternoon (after ordering it last week), full of win .

 

[RickSanchez]

OK guys I am gonna remake the club now so its in Australia, hopefully that gives us better connections. I will resend the invites.

Just beat Wolves 5-2, Miyachi take a bow, 3 goals and 2 assists. My reserves were better than the first team, except for the defenders and keeper.

Will probably replace Woj, he just plays horrible for me, he's last in form as well.

Didn't have to delete, just set it to Asia all good. Not sure if it makes a difference but yeah.

Oceania was there as well not sure if that matters but I went with Asia.

 

[quiksilva]

Are most people playing on PC when more so a manger ?

How good is the soundtrack this year?, my favourite song from it is Punching in a Dream by The Naked and Famous, noticed they've used the song for footy promos this year, really fits well

I agree, I'm a massive fan of The Big Bang.

 

[footballfreak]

Apparently people are having problems with the new defending system and the collision engine which appears to be buggy

 

[Beloved]

I made a playlist ASAP so that I didn't have to listen to last year's rubbish soundtrack, but I'm really enjoying this one.

The defending system takes time to learn. If you're an impatient player, you will have goals scored against you. If you wait for the right time to strike instead of rushing at every player and missing tackle, you will, certainly more often than not, get the ball back.

I've had no issues with the player impact system. I think it's excellent.

How do you make your own playlist? You mean like importing your own songs right?
