*** The Official FIFA 13 Thread ***

If you can't defend, it's usually the player at fault. While I have been the subject of classic FIFA gaffes, with 3 defenders I'm solid at the back. You just have to do it right. Tracking runs, switching players at the right time, timing your tackles right. Slow defenders have more troubles, but you don't want to try chasing players with them.

People tend to blame the game rather than their own inability to defend.

I blame the game when the player just stops sprinting giving them all the advantage in the world, there's loads of videos on youtube of this pathetic scripting of players, it's a joke.

There are definitely problems/bugs... sometimes from kick off, from corners, from goal kicks the ball will get booted up field while defence is off screen and when the ball gets upfield the defenders are nowhere to be seen and striker is up against the keeper! Not sure what you could possibly do about that!
 
Well managed to stay in Div. 1 in FUT seasons by winning the last two games of the season to accumulate the 12 points necessary then went on a 4 game winning streak after opening my next season with a loss, then got disconnected whilst leading 4-2 against some Turkish bloke, hmm 3-0 loss for DNF. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Having fun overall, Cazorla is a beast and Balotelli can score some absolute blinders, this one out of nowhere:

Shooting is so painfully bad in this Fifa, I'm not quite sure what the thought process behind making every shot within 30 yards either a goal or a corner was but... it's simply retarded.

Yeah, agreed. Unless you really fluff it you can score 30 yard screamers with Momo Sissoko. Mental.
 
On a decent run on H2H Seasons at the moment. It's pretty easy so far. Simple way to win is to get good at sprint-control/drag back-opponent fudges the tackle-you side step and carry on. I don't think many people have got the hang of the game yet.

Still haven't made a FUT team yet, about 25k in the bank and counting. Have only bought 3 packs. Best card pulled so far is Soldado :-/ Just noticed Inter have a decent looking Belgian guy called Mudingayi (or something like that).

How much did that team cost you?

Fairly cheap (although with a bit of luck with packs) I got van der vaart and Reus from packs. I changed Reus from CF to ST. Although I'm still not really sure he is a good ST...

Neuer cost me 71k - my biggest purchase.
Gomez I nabbed for 21k.
Huntelaar I got for 7.5k.
Hummels - 20k.

They were the biggest purchases. The rest were fairly cheap from about 750 - 7k max.

Schurrle is an amazing LM so fast and has a great shot when needed. His passing is quite damm good too. Farfan and Gundogan are great purchases too.

I really do enjoy this team tbh good fun to play.

Total cost (I'm surprised I spent this much tbh :eek:) not including Reus, Van der Vaart and subs like Muller, Sam etc. I work it out at 144,450k. But keep in mind Neuer was 71k... Wiese is a very good keeper tbh who I picked up for 3.8k So if on a tighter budget go for him instead of Neuer. I just wanted Neuer to "complete" my team :p

This exact thing almost caused the premature death of my DualShock 3. :D
 
Has anyone been able to upload replay videos to the EA servers?

Everytime it goes up to 100% then just gives an error message.

Logged in at easportsfootball and set my EA ID to be my main persona. It worked fine with FIFA 12, just haven't been able to get it working.

Scored some right screamers, just can't upload them. Frustrating.

This happened in 12 as well. I don't know how much tactics/formations affect it, but if you managed to punt it upfield quickly enough from a corner against you or take a quick goal kick, you'd often end up one on one straight away. Whether your striker bothered to make the run or not in the first place was also quite variable I think, sometimes it would seem he was lurking around the halfway line= good, other times he would be nowhere to be seen= ball bounces harmlessly towards the opposition GK= annoying.
