I must be the exception then... I find it very sad.

You're not the only exception, it's not something I do either. Partly because I don't like it (it's just a game after all), and partly because whenever I tried it in the past it would backfire as I'd get tackled and concede. I'd rather just try to go up the other end and score another to make it safe.
 
I've found more often than not it backfires if you try to attack, they get possession and most of the time counter you. I don't see the problem especially if it's in extra time with seconds remaining to just keep possession and pass it. It's the ones who do it from say the 75 minute mark that are annoying.
 
I only do it if somebody has annoyed me in the course of the 15 minutes playing them with dodgy celebrations or general rancid playstyle. Otherwise I just play till the final minute. Don't really care about winning that much and I find I'm much more likely to score an extra goal than concede one by just playing normally.

Same - If someone makes me watch boring replays and over celebrates then Ill make them wait at the end of the game by watching all the replays, its my little form of retribution. I dont mind getting beat (my record on every fifa is almost identical, same wins as losses with a few games) but I hate getting trolled.

So basically everyone then?

Haha nah. Most people I play just do a quick running celebration and then press X. That's OK. It's the ones with R2 held down running in circles or running to the half way line who feel my ball keeping wrath. The worst is the run to the half way line doing "Shhhh" followed by Gangnam Style.

I will brain the next person to do that :D.

If I'm in a good mood and I know I can win I just normally copy peoples celebrations if they've done something rancid. Sure fire way to make somebody play badly as they're mad.

At a ~65% win ratio online so not bad but still way under what my FIFA 13 one was.

Very much this. If I score first, I always skip replays, and I expect (I'm an idiot I know) the same courtesy in return. Unless it's a genuinely good goal, then even I want to see it again. If someone starts watching replays or pausing 3 times in a row, then I'm milking every second out of the game :p
 
Well the higher up the divisions you go the worse it gets, especially on the point you made about rancid play style, I didn't think it was possible for people to play more sweaty than they did last year, I was wrong.

Yeah the playstyle thing is more true I guess than celebrations. People generally behave themselves there :D.

To be honest nearly everyone is playing cross spam or 30 yard finesse spam or one-two chip through ball spam so it doesn't even get to me any more.

Can't wait for the patch to at least not make it so overpowered.

Explain how it is sad to spend the last 30 seconds passing it around your players to get a win. If we were talking about the last 10-15 minutes or longer then I'd agree with you as that is annoying as ****.

I sometimes do it, i don't care if it's a game, if i notice either im playing vs a very good player or someone who's trying very hard, and im winning by one or two goals, ill keep the ball more often in the final 15minutes-30minutes, i will attack, but i will noticeably keep the ball longer. how often have we all lost games in the final 30minutes from a winning position and then come on here and said, what a load of ****?, You are all most likely guilty. does time wasting really make someone a ****?, don't think so, i know how the game works, so do all you, but you choose to open yourself to defeat and then rage, you are playing vs random online players, get over yourselves and just win.

I've got 5k and im confused to whether i should play a game or two and get Hamsik with the Hunter chem style for around 5800 coins or try hold out for Guarin at around 7000-7500 coins with a good chem style.

Guarin seems to be used more than Hamsik. He seems to be the best all rounded player this year, all stats 75+, only other player to do that is Melo.
 
IF Hulk is such a monster, feels like FUT12 Hulk has been reborn and we can all forget about the atrocity that was FUT13 Hulk!

Only downside is, as good as Osvaldo is, I miss Neymar :( Hope he gets a LW UP or IF one day, hate the though of using the fragile boy at striker, I have no idea why they made him one. :(
 
I've only just got back from my honeymoon last week and been itching to on UT. My starter packs gave me nothing but managed to generate a whole 5k from them. Needless to say did a 12000 points pack opening and ended up with Ramos, Gotze, Nasri x2, Lukaku, Clichy x2, Vertonghen x2. Most of which was sold.

24 hours of trading and i ended up with the following -

I have now swapped out Benteke and Coutinho for Eto'o and Cazorla. Pace and sweaty i know but who cares. Current record is 15-0-5.
