*** The Official FIFA 13 Thread ***

Andy, fancy playing a few scripted games tonight? :D

Yeah, if I still have the game :p

Kompany and Sneijder in Packs this morning. Good mornings work and 4 wins from 4 in Div 1. Loving Fifa this year :D

I'm hating it :( Going on 12 was a breath of fresh air in terms of players responsiveness, this one is woefully bad for lag on my Xbox.
 
The worse I have had is when a lobbed through ball comes through and their ST makes a run for it, you are the defender and leg for it too. Both neck and neck trying to keep the ST off, the defender makes a rush and gets in front of the ST. Great you think your sorted get the ball cleared or headed back to the Keeper. Instead your defender decides I'm going to "first touch the ball" so he sticks a foot out and pretty much just lays the ball off to the ST to come running behind and smashing it first time into the back of the net :mad:

I've had that so many times I just /facepalm. Doesnt matter if I am hitting the shot/clear button or the pass button to head it to the keeper. Randomly it happens and the defender with a mind of its own decides to just help the ST out by laying the ball off to him to get a nice running driven shot in front of the goal lol

I've lost 30 games since Friday, there's something very suspicious going on...

I'm on home plugs, can't see it being my connection. I didn't have this issue at the start which is strange.
 
Any one fancy a game tonight? It'll be my last chance to play some fifa for over three weeks. My last night of freedom.

Come play a drunk me tonight!!

Whilst I'm away, those which are known to me, if you wish to loan any players until I'm back from the honeymoon, you're welcome too.
Did you buy the season pack, or get the Ultimate edition? If you did, you'll miss out on the free packs while you're away as they expire if you don't open them each week.

You could always get someone you trust to log into your account via the web app, open the packs, and store everything in the club for you.

I seemed to be stuck in some laggy Fifa dimension with players that felt were running in quick sand, put my 360 in DMZ in my router and it seems better now, but could just be imagining it.

Pretty much half the goals I concede is due to this - its like first touch is a forced right stick push away from the player, who then slows down because of the first touch while the ST skips through to score - magic :rolleyes:

ps3ud0 :cool:

Where are you struggling ? defense or attack.

I liked hunterlaar for a while but he just seemed to be lackluster for me. I swapped to Gomez who I really like. I also really liked Van der Vaart in CAM such a good player for me.

That said I sold off my Bunda team because I just kept losing with them. Was wierd start of fifa 13 they was solid and I was doing really well then all of a sudden I just start getting hammered while using them and could barely scrape a win.

My fav team still is my Liga Portuguesa team who have been really fun to play lots of great passing attack and defense. Or my silver Belgian pro league team. I win more games with these two teams (and enjoy the games) than I did with my high rated Bunda team.
 
I'm suprised about your LM/RM as Farfan and Schurrle I found to be very good fast runnings pretty good on ball control and could get some really nice pass's in. Kroos and Gustavo I never used so dunno what they are like. Also I used 352.

But I highly suggest Van Der Vaart for CAM such a useful player in that position and his free kick and corner taking is amazing :) Maybe try Badstuber instead of Dante as I found Badstuber to be one of my best CB's.

Try that (or if anyone else gives more advice) or sell them off and try another league/formation :p
 
Whats the deal with injury's in ultimate team ? I have one guy who gets injured every match, is it the player or that actual card ? In other words If I sell him and buy him again of a different seller will he still get injured every game.

Also managers, how important are they ? apart from getting you a slightly better deal on contracts do they do anything else ?

It's best sticking all the managers you get in your club, if you get all the managers on the game you get something like a 50% increase in contract cards. That's what they are for really.

Different players have different traits. You can only see this by going into the team management screen, and checking out their stats. It's possible that your player has the Injury Prone trait, which obviously makes him more likely to pick up injuries. That or his fitness is low.

As posted just above, the one you assign in to your squad gives you +10 team chm, +1 for each player of that nation, and any that you have in your club are combined together to give you a contract % bonus/team talk % dependent on whether they're rare or not.

I'm not entirly sure that's the case, I was under the illusion that any contract bonus is only added to the value of the manager currently in your active squad... I'll sit corrected mind.
 
pretty much everywhere bar strikers.


wingers no pace and cant dribble.

cam/cdm cant pass

defenders slow

No pace & can't dribble? thats utter bs, you got them on low fitness/morale?

Gustavo is a great all round cdm and his passing is pretty good, knock Kroos out for Gotze!

Santana in for dante?
