You know I used to play like that, swear it was the original fifa controls with square being shoot, I don't know why I started playing the default way now

Hate the fact the arena is that weird view, I want it tele so I can get used to skilling

You mentioned TOTY being done in phases? How quickly are these done? Is it weekly? Do they normally start with Keepers etc? Might do a 100 pack opening or something on the day.

It was Pro Evo. Square was shoot in that and I could never go back now. I didn't play FIFA again till FIFA 10. PS2 and beginning of PS3 I played Pro Evo exclusively.

Not sure about TOTY phases. Can't remember how long they last.

To be honest, in my opinion a running scoop while awesome and amazing when it comes off... A 180 degree standing scoop with back to goal is far more effective. Especially if the player is tall. It looks absolutely ridiculous and you can't defend it unless you move your player back 5 yards before it goes off lol.

Oh and you only need 4* for a standing scoop.

How do you stop the ball dead and how do you do a standing scoop?

Last year went 2 days TOTY GK/Defenders, 2 days Midfielders, 2 days attackers, 1 day with all in packs.

That last day was a tragic day, opening the final pack to find nothing...

/le cry.

At least i got Messi that week, sadly the NIF on the morning TOTY came out! :eek:

Anyone else still play with the pro Evo buttons lol?

Yup, I do. Feels weird to me having the shoot and lobbed pass buttons the other way around.

Analogue. I used to use the d-pad on the PS2, but when I moved to Pro Evo on the 360 I started using the analogue sticks as the d-pad on the 360 controller sucked.

Next gen plays a lot differently imo, the keepers are a lot harder to beat, through balls, crosses and long shots galore, as they are what are most effective at creating chances.

Players also play differently too between generations also imo, slower players who I would never of used on PS3 do well on PS4.

--------- Jovetic

Nasri - Fernandinho - Ramires

-- Garcia -- Gustavo

Enrique - Ramos - IF Miranda - Mariano

------------ Courtouis

Now I can hybrid this more but unsure of which one to go for

---------- Mandzukic

Gotze - Boateng - Gundogan

Martinez ------- Gustavo

or

---------- Costa

Isco --- Casemiro - Ramires

Busquets/Alonso ------ Gustavo

The Bundesliga one will mean needing to save up 100K and I don't like the look of Casemiro so I'm reluctant to switch especially as i'll lose Jovetic who is averaging 1.5 goals per game, Ramires is also my highest assister with an average of roughly 1 assist per game so reluctant to try the bundesliga one as well.

So i'm favouring the Bundesliga hybrid but it will take me time to save up to make a decision.

second team is

----------- Vucinic

Guarin - Marchisio - Di Natale

----- Vidal --- De Rossi

Radu - Chiellini - SIF Benetia - Konko

---------- Handanovic

anyone got any ideas how you could improve that on a budget? I have about 25k spare atm, I was thinking possibly Gomez or Balotelli for Vucinic but dunno if they are better than Vucinic on next gen tbh.

Suarez7 · 7 Jan 2014 at 15:16

Balotelli is a tank but sometimes he seems to have too much power on his shots or try Tevez he'll surprise you.

Robert1986 · 7 Jan 2014 at 15:17

Surely Paulinho will be better at RCAM than Ramires.

TomProx · 7 Jan 2014 at 15:18

Bought Nasri over lunch, cracking player so far.

So are these TOTY cards extremelly rare?

Ramires pace makes him quite overpowered as a midfielder.

TomProx said:

Some more so than others but yes the chances are pretty slim, the goalkeeper will probably have the highest card weight but still very rare, about the same card weight as top rated IF's I'd say. With the amount of packs opened it makes it look like they're more common though.

Okay, hopefully i get extremelly lucky

when i started playing a couple of weeks ago i bought some points and in my last pack i opened i got tevez, he was the best player i got so far out of packs.

Cheers will take a look at both, but surely Tevez is too small to be "well rounded" which is what I think you really need in a lone striker, someone who can score goals from any type of chance created including a cross.

Looks like you missed the part above where I said he is my top assister

81 Strength and 89 Aggression makes it difficult for the opponents defenders. I thought he would be crap before I used him and he's one of the best strikers I've used. Even his H/H workrates weren't noticeable.

Think I'm going to open 50-60 on the midfielders and 50-60 packs on the ST... I'll stream it so you can all see my terrible luck.

GreenMint · 7 Jan 2014 at 15:38

Don't underestimate Casemiro, even his shooting isn't bad but he was great for me, granted as a CDM in 442(2), but he'd be great as a CAM in 4231 for that holding and assisting role, seriously a very very good player in FUT.

Nice!

Sadly i'll have to buy FIFA points so i can open packs, don't have much coins in game.

Just wondering, im in Division 6 atm and if i win the title i'll get 6000 coins, how much do you get in div 1/2? Also what happens when you reach Div 1 do you just repeat the season once you've played all your games? Also is there a lot of people in Div 1 or is it extremelly hard to get there? Sorry for the 20 questions
