FIFA 14

I'm up to Div 2 now, isn't as noticeable in the lower divisions tbh. The main reason why people are in the higher divisions is through exploiting the OP tactics. I for one use lob through balls quite often and Sturridge just runs and runs and defenders find it hard to shrug him off.

Its always been the FIFA way that the best players generally are the ones that master the exploits. Just a shame some stuff is still not properly fixed - OP lobbed through balls have been a feature since what FIFA10/11?

Yeah I've always used them in UT and if you use the right players and the right timing they're very hard to defend against. Oh how I used to love Torres in FUT 11

Yeah I still score a lot of headers with Gomez, pretty sure he scored 3 or 4 in 1 game a few games ago. Probably average around ~1.3 headed goals a game I'd guess.

But then I have 2 players in any team that are just fantastic on the ball usually, so that probably helps. Kroos/VDV + Hamsik/Guarin knocking in the set pieces/killer passes in my Bundesliga and Serie A squads. They're feeding Gomez and Huntelaar/Mandzukic, and some goals they create are ludicrously good

On another note, I estimate 98.9% of FUT players consistently use the calm down celebration.

Torres in FUT10, Torres paired with Anelka

Freezing on loading screen is back. Twice in two days, wonderful.

You're correct it was his 10 card, ok maybe TOTY 12 Ibra comes close

or Rooney

Stewy · 14 Oct 2013 at 16:20

That 95 Rooney was still slower than Luiz.

The 88 Torres that year was fantastic though. I miss 12

Suarez7 · 14 Oct 2013 at 16:25

I miss the cards like that, although if you gave IF's stats like that on the new one they'd likely become extremely OP. Bring on TOTY in January, hopefully it isn't 10 BBVA players again or whatever it was last year.

GreenMint · 14 Oct 2013 at 16:27

It'll be same as last year, but Bale instead of Falcao!

What a beast, + Anelka.

Just sold Aguero for 240k, bought Yaya and IF Lukaku, IF Lukaku's ingame stats are nice.

What's OP lob through balls mean?

All I still play when I get the urge, helps playing Ronaldo and TOTS Bale up front

Overpowered chipped through balls.

Anksy · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:06

Selling IF Lukaku already, he's performed terrible in the 5 games ive played him, even though he has 92 strength he seems allot weaker than benteke, i just cant fault benteke.

I think i'll try Eto now.

Robert1986 · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:46

About to try Fred for the first time after hearing nothing but good things about him.

Wish me luck, will report back.

EDIT: Why is there no Brazil manager? I cannot get 10 chem unless I have 10 games with a player. Lame.

Rex-Kramer · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:47

Having some incredible luck with packs, spent £23 this year which pulled me Robben and that's kept me going off his sale.

Just pulled Aguerro and Remy in same pack!

Rex-Kramer · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:48

Note I pulled NOTHING last year apart from Foster every other pack.

Metalface Mark · 14 Oct 2013 at 18:55

re the headers finesse, im in division 5 i could see instantly that it was improved as i was able to defend a corner reasonably and maybe score 1 cross in 15-20 now which is reasonable if frustrating.

have decided to finally bin the xbone so if you want my players/ cash when i switch to ps4 you can have em daveypitch, add metalface mark to your friends list

Why dont you put them into prizes for a UT cup? There seems to be a fair few jumping platforms, could be a nice set of prizes and got over a month to get it oranised and run!
