***** The Official Fifa 12 Thread *****

Cisse offers pace, Klose and Cassano already offer dribbling, therefore it would be a lot better than having Miccoli as the pace man, because when it comes to pace, Cisse is in like the top 3 in Serie A i think for strikers anyway. Plus Miccoli is a midget, it hinders him.

Santon is a beast, when it comes to defenders, the general rule is most defenders work the exact same for everyone, Santon last year was imo the best RB in Serie A, even better then Maicon, because Maicon had High Attack and Medium Defense so was constantly in the opposing half. Santon had Medium/Medium, so he stayed back, so he was always in position, he had higher pace than Maicon, 2 inches taller offering greater strength equalling he could push opposing players off he ball better.

combine, pace and strength and positioning you have an awesome fullback. he is using de ceglie currently although he was the best left back until IF Balzaretti came out last year, he still couldn't polish Santon's boots.

therefore i advise him just to try out Santon chances are he never saw him whilst searching because he plays for newcastle and he was looking at Serie A teams.

There is hardly any difference between Miccoli and Cisse when it comes to pace; Miccoli actually has a higher acceleration where as Cisse has a higher sprint speed but Miccoli has Agility of 91 compared to Cisse 71. Miccoli is much better than Cisse overall especially for 4-3-1-2 formation where the strikers will go out wide quite often so Miccoli will suit that formation much more as he has better crossing or even dribble into the area whereas Cisse can just run in a straight line and his touch isn't what I would call great.

Having used both Santon and De Ceglie and comparing their in-game stats there is hardly any difference, Santon may have been better last year but this year there is hardly any difference imo.

I appreciate that but I watched about 10 minutes of it and he does nothing really that good: his players are all quicker and stronger than anyone he will play at 4.5* and going forward he either spams pointless skills in the hope something works or just 1-2 spams. Defensively, all he does is roll his face across the screen and Thiago Silva automatically wins the ball back. Meh, just not that impressed :p.

I think his recent videos are quite poor but some of his earlier Ruin A Randomer where he used a full BraSilver team his skills and game play worked much better and was more enjoyable to watch.

For what its worth tho even if he used that team in a tourney match the higher rated team will most likely be handicapped and people will complain about that too.
 
I meant main team?

Same as it has been for a month or 2

----------- Stelkenburg ------------
Maicon -Chiellini - Lucio/T Silva - Marcelo
---- Roberto Carlos ---- Dani Alves -----
--- Neymar ------------------- Kaka ---
---------- Pato -------- Ibra -----------

Although had a few ideas for change, specially as I can't sell Flabbygas for love nor money atm!
 
Built this team for some 5 star skills fun:



Anyone tried Manoel? Want him to repace Kanu at CB but at 40k I'm not sure whether he is worth it?

Also Pato in CF, yes or no? I know his passing is poor but he has a great long shot so I'm thinking he might do some damage there?

Eduardo would be better in LCAM (russian league), im sure he has 5 star skills but i might be confusing him with Lucas (Brazilian League), he is left footed, so he can whip in the crosses, therefore Robhino on the right for his right foot.

that's if you do crosses

or why not make it all silver? or does the handicap still count with 2 golds?
 
I've thought about Eduardo instead of Robinho but I use skills near the byline and work my way into the box so having a right footer on the left works out better for me. I have Fetfatzidis in RCAM purely to try him out after people being obsessed with him (KSI fault) but surprisingly he works really well even with 6 chemistry.

i use Robhino in my Serie A team and he has one of the worst shots i have ever seen, do you finesse with him? or smash them? i play him on the right so i usually smash them if i get an opportunity, they usually have no power in them and crawl towards the keeper or go miles wide.
 
just found a really easy way to look at traits, etc and i found out new traits i never even knew of:

1. http://www.ultimatedb.nl/
2. Player Databas (not trading)
3. Define your search
4. Click Find


just found out Xavi has the "injury free" trait which must mean he is impossible to injure or a lot harder to injure than other players.

also just found out there is an "argues with officials" trait, i dont know if that makes any difference? may mean he gets booked for dissent? or sent off more often that others for similar tackles, etc?

i try not have players with argues with ref as it right gets on my nerves what they do is if a decision does not go their way or they get tackled then some of the time they totally just forget about the ball and run to the ref and you cant control him

had it happen to me a couple of times when ive been in with a shooting chance get a little clip from behind but ref does not blow and end up one on one with keeper and my player just turns around and starts run to the ref waving his arm about lol

that must be it, yup, i hate it when they turn round and start complaining or they get decked and they start hitting the ground and stuff, there is also the one where they throw their arm and walk in a circle.

although it rarely happens tbh but i may just check out my teams to see how many players have it, but i doubt it's worth dropping an extremely good player for a worse one over, maybe 2 similar players then yeah, it makes the choice easier.

the injury prone trait though is annoying, people do not realise that an injury actually greatly affects the person's stamina this year, so i avoid them as best i can.

oh and there is "avoids weaker foot" trait as well

i know for a fact Reyes and Adam Johnson have this trait, they only ever use their left, find it annoying when i play them on the right and want them to keep the ball away from the opposing team as they run down the line, it makes them slow down.

this may be a good one for you guys to look at from now on too


oh there is a "dives into tackles" trait as well, Mascherano has it and im betting David Luiz has it also, shock horror Luiz doesn't have it, but i found he constantly dove into tackles automatically, may be an error in database

Cisse has "poacher", "selfish" and "argues with officials", not too sure what selfish does tbh, he doen't like it when other people shoot instead of passing? and does the whole arguing thing i think, that must be it.

also not too sure what the leader trait does, Alonso and Di Natale have it, must mean they make good captains? may try making them captains from now on.

robinho has the "diver" trait, no idea what that does, maybe he is easier to push off the ball or to the ground?

chiellini has the avoids weaker foot trait, must be why he is awful with over the top through balls

abate - speed dribbler and avoids weaker foot (good thing as he is a RB)
maicon - long throw , diver and argues with officials

this could mean abate is now my number 1 RB in serie A

kaka is injury prone, now replaced him with Rossi, 4 star skills and speed dribbler

IF T.Silva's price is dropping. Along with TOTY players. Gonna buy IF T.Silva and TOTY Alves at the end of the month. Both should cost around 1.3 million togther.

mids and forwards out tonight?

Wonder what their in game stats are. I beat Xavi and Iniesta both have 99 short pass and 99 long pass and cost over 2 million. IF Iniesta should drop.

Dreaming of a TOTY Alves - TOTY Pique - IF Pepe - TOTY Ramos
-----------------------------------TOTY Iker---------------------------------

dont suppose you could buy me the cheapest IF Ramos on the market? i need him and only have 15K, i have over 40 IF's to sell though, so i have well over 800K in cards to sell. hoping to get rid of them within the next week or two.

Teams are now

------ Rossi ------

Afellay ------ Reyes

Masch -- Alonso -- IF Garcia

Abidal -- IF Pepe -- TBC -- IF Iraola

Lopez

and

Cavani -- Cisse

Di Natale -- Robhino

Cambiassio ----- De Rossi

Stek

decided to re-buy some players now, will wait for Ibra and Villa to come down in price but i need IF Ramos, they were selling for around 280-320K earlier

Righto, sorted my team and most of the subs, managed to make 20k on Vidic overnight so I just bought another one this morning :p

Hart
Richards - Kompany - Vidic - Evra
Yaya
Nani - Bale
Silva
Aguer - IF Balotelli

with Modric (30k for 41212 one, insane), Young, Mata, Vermaelan, Song etc. on the bench. Perrrrrty happy.
 
also not too sure what the leader trait does, Alonso and Di Natale have it, must mean they make good captains? may try making them captains from now on.

Very valid points, this one caught my eye, can you even choose a captain aside from changing ingame can you?

Tried subbing in Fabregas last night as a CDM, was surprisingly efficient, defended pretty well and was very handy making runs/starting moves through the middle.

you do it on the ready page before the loading screen, go into player roles and select captain and your free kick takers, once the match has started you cannot change captain unless he is subbed off.
 
TOTY Iniesta - 96
TOTY Alonso - 91
TOTY Xavi - 97

chances of getting one in a pack - none

oh and they are raising their OVR by 5 of every player in TOTY every defender was raised by 5, meaning Rooney will be a 95

Why no chance?

I got TOTY Casillas.

I won't be trying for the midfielders though, I don't have a spanish team so little point of me trying to get them. I'll be aiming for Rooney, or Messi ;) :D
