It would have been nice to have a warning

What turned out to be quite a smooth start in terms of issues by EA has turned into a nightmare, they can't fix anything right.

How many games must I encounter with this ghost ball in seasons ffs

I've had it twice in 13 games but it's still a joke. How can they break something so simple?

The trade pile/consumable bug is the same, just how? EA really are taking us all for mugs.

lolEA - they keep amazing me in providing worse and worse support for FIFA each year, Id be embarrassed to be associated with the company or the franchise. They just either are too stupid to learn or much more likely dont give a **** about any of their customers. They make the Activision/'IW' partnership look professional

It be nice to think FIFA would consider moving the license from them, but hey we know how they operate . Hurry up Konami and get your finger out...

I played a couple of seasons matches with Belgium, 442, comfortable wins but the pace oh H2H bores me so much. There isn't anymore technical play neither, just more people trying to tramp it.

Well UT is down so I thought I'd mess around with a Bundies team, thoughts:

Reus and Podolski's lack of attacking work rate might worry me. I guess with the right manager Ribery would be a 9.

20

I won't let mine run down further than 90 and thats pushing it

Same. 85 at an absolute maximum if I only have 1 back up player covering 2 positions (play 4-5-1)


I get invisiball every time I play with Barca in seasons it's a joke. They've tried to fix minor issues and just created more. I'm down 5k from an Oscar I bought that went missing 2 days ago

 

[chanjy]

hmmm still down? EA are having a shocker this year!

 

[bigjonnyauk]

gotta feeling its gonna be a day or 2 hope we get some sort of compensation

I was at the 90th minute of a game last night when it went down, winning 3-0, better do a bit better than a few mini bronze packs

Just got myself an Xbox after a being out of the console market for a while, and Fifa is one of the games I'm looking to get. I used to play Fifa in career/manager mode but I see all talk is about Ultimate Team. Can anyone explain what this Ultimate Team thing is please. How does it work, what do you do etc...

Think of it along the lines of the age old panini sticker book game. You get given a set of players (Bronze standard, i.e not very good), play games, earn coins which give you the ability to buy new strips / stadiums / players / contracts / fitness, etc.

As you progress, you can either buy players off the market, or purchase packs with your coins. From there you upgrade your team to whatever you fancy I guess. For me it just personalisies FIFA than just normal seasons/head-to-head so much more.

Lots of guides out there on the net dealing with the specifics, it's easy enough to get into, and super addictive.

I've not played you

That's because you keep dodging me

I actually don't see you online much!

Played as Sweden & Ivory Coast a lot last night, Sweden is great fun in 4231 wide with Ibra floating at CF like in reality, its like you have to check every move through him

Was nice to have some Drogba time with Ivory Coast, too, Drogba & Traore were good together, then to bring on Boney, 93 strength striker is great near the end of the game!

 

[chanjy]

Might try seasons if UT is still down later... haven't played any of it yet, so assume I will be in Divison 10 or something. Could be funny

Throughout the evening (late evening) I'm online most of the time!

It'll be easier once I get my man cave sorted, and get a new TV. That way the missus can watch her bobbins downstairs, whilst I game upstairs. A win win situation!

Apprently people are saying its back up on the console version but not the webapp.

I was wondering why I got kicked off during a game I was winning on UT last night. After I got booted out I thought **** this **** ! and played some guitar instead.

The worst thing is I damm well know when I log on I will get a -DNF and Fifa will have decided that I lost the game 3-0 even though I was 3-1 up at 70mins in lol

Persona 4 Golden for my PSVita got delivered today so I think I will be playing that for a while. Hopefully things will "settle" on FUT so I can get back to it.
