FIFA 14

that's not what ultimate team is about though is it?

it's all about using players which exploit/suit the game engine/mechanics rather than the players you would genuinely put in your ultimate team.

e.g. I don't want to use Aubameyang but he is the best striker in Bundesliga for example. I tried Mandzukic and he was just awful in comparison. I would love to try Lew but he's too expensive.

Every team you see is the exact same generic stuff. Pack only would mean you come up against guys like Aubameyang, Silva, Luiz, etc far less often.

You can still build your own ultimate team but your limited by what you find in packs which IMO sounds like a better system in theory.

I would love for them to try it for a full fifa tbh.

No longer would you be up against the same players every time.


Here's my genuine ultimate team:

-------- Aguero/Suarez/Costa ------

Di Maria/Bale --- Oscar/Neymar --- Ronaldo

-------- Luiz/Vidal ------- Yaya --------

Marcelo/Luis - Silva - Kompany - Zabaleta/Alves

------------- Courtois ----------

can I make that in ultimate team? no because of chemistry

I'd kinda like to see something that matches your ideals there, maybe a pack only UT where chemistry is ONLY affected by being in the right position.

Maybe that alongside a normal FUT so you can do both, no financial overlaps though.
 
True, but check comparisons..

What do you favour there? Marcelo's Jumping, Balance & Aggression do make him a good candidate!

Used both and IF Marcelo just seems more fluid and better at being able to win the ball, aggression is a very important stat it makes players win the ball back a lot easier if they lose it.

At RB I prefer tots juan fran or maicon, alves is just pace although his toty card is monstrous but not worth the price on PC.

Just realised you couldn't use Maicon anyway at full chem.
 
I'm 3-0 up with about 8 minutes to go in a game. The other gave obviously gave up and put his controller down just before I took a shot, I missed and it went out for a goal kick. Now I@ve been waiting 5 minutes for him to take it but nothing is happening. I can still move my players around.

What the hell is going on? Is he trying to get me to quit so he wins? Anything I can do?

EDIT: The **** gave up and eventually kicked the ball. *****! I got the win.

i prefer futwiz for comparisons

http://www.futwiz.com/en/compare/marcelo/13254/filipe-luis/14018

tbh they both look great on paper. personally i would choose luis because he's taller, has higher marking, standing tackle, pace (we all know how much pace makes player considerably better than they should be), interceptions, strength

plus he's cheaper than marcelo from what i can see and he's a blue card
 
Shows how bad this years FIFA is. Last year the thread was still busy with different posters and this year even with a world cup update it's barely moving :p.

Poly and I are having fun in Pro Clubs at least. I can manage 5 maybe 6 games of FUT before the frustration causes me to turn off.
 
Obv I'm new to the x1 thread and specifically FIFA 14. Only had the game just under a week and given I've been playing wolfenstein all weekend I feel that a week is long enough playing it. I literally can't remember the last time I conceded a goal that wasn't from a header off a cross or big hoof up the park. That coupled with the amount of laggy games is making the game unplayable.

I used to think pes was bad for cheap exploits band lag cheats but my experience nothing tops FIFA. Shame tho as I really wanted to get into this to play with all my mates but looks like I shall need to dig out the 360 again

I can only imagine what you guys chat about when Im joining in :). Find that crappy free headset and get on PS4 party comms!

ps3ud0 :cool:

Same as always lol: normally just laughing or getting annoyed (not with you just FIFA stuff in general!).

Best thing for a laugh is when you know your opponent is done when you've got about 3 slide tackles flying in at you :D.

Urgh not sure I can handle using the free headset with the built in comms. PC comms are so much better quality. I'm a PC snob who happens to be a Playstation fanatic.

Just play me, you'll feel better.
 
lol @ pc comms being better quality.

obviously if your using a 2p mic with your ps4 it's gonna be ****, you would have to be a moron to think it was going to be amazing.

MIXAMP + V Moda Boom Pro + Fidelio X1 = better than all gimmicky pc headsets
 
Dat price tho :eek:

You can always buy cheaper and still get pretty decent stuff which you can slowly upgrade if you so wish to do so at your own pace.

Second hand mixamp = £60-£75
Koss KSC75 = £12
DX clip on mic - £1.48

then you can upgrade the mic and headphones at your own pace

Q701(need another amp on top of mixamp)>AD700>HD595>CAL>PortaPro>KSC75

You can then upgrade the DX mic to an antlion mod mic

The V moda Boom Pro only works with Fidelio X1's and the Fidelio's are only slightly better than the CAL in terms of competitive gaming, they are the best option though for immersive gaming.
 
First time I've tried to play in a week and I keep getting "Server Error Occurred"? Even for non-UT online seasons :(

Sonny wtf are you doing with all that kit? How big a difference is there really with just getting a decent headset given the codec quality is likely to be the limiting factor anyway?

lol I clicked his posts to see what he's wittering on about (as I have him on ignore) and low and behold he's talking rubbish as usual :D.

Sonny: I already have a good (and very expensive) pair of headphones, an expensive soundcard with a built in headphone amp and a decent, separate microphone so I've got no intention of buying more kit.

Poly was talking about using the free headset so communication is easier in Pro Clubs but me and my mate are on Mumble on the PC so to go from that to the PS4 would be a downgrade in sound quality. It's not difficult to understand.

Edit: and I don't even know where my free headset is :D

@chanjy - nothing on Twitter about it being down :(

Did the PS4 come with a headset? Must have missed that.

edit: oh... you can just plug your phone earbuds/mic into the controller. Why haven't I done that before? I'm so clueless :(

If we all want to chat via Mumble I can also take the laptop down and chat on that next time we do pro clubs :)
 
I really enjoy it but I only ever play it with others. Not sure how much fun it would be levelling your pro in drop in games. Ask Poly..

Cool :)
 
Drop in was crap. People not doing the best thing for your team, just doing the individual things they needed to get achievements and level up.

Ha ha. Doesn't surprise me. Realistically my pro is now as far as it can get without playing in midfield. I've pretty much got every single striker unlock bar the volleys outside the area.
