81% possession, 4-0 defeat from 4 through balls and 4 goals from Welbeck

81% possession?! Are you just passing the ball between your defenders?!

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Oct 2014 at 00:17

No, I just seem to be playing people that have no idea football involves passing. Everything's immediately hit out of defence to 7 foot monsters that can run quicker than Usain Bolt.

I've just had two of the best FUT matches ever. No sweaty players trying to run down to goal from kick off and just pure end to end action. Thrilling and great fun. Just shows how great FIFA can be when played with the right kind of players.

This is the best time to play Fifa. Kids are in bed. Servers are on less load.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Oct 2014 at 01:23

Right, gonna sell my team and buy some crap players with 90+ pace :cool:

Is there any point at all in trying to play a passing game? Just got smashed and all of his players had 85+ pace so he just kept hitting it long and playing the through ball, seems to make a mockery of different styles of football tbh.

I am by no means a particularly good player but I play on "attacking" and "possession". I can count on one hand the games where I have lower possession than the opponent and I have managed to score some beautiful "ticka-tacka" goals with lots of little sharp first time passes around the box with the flair passes. It's how I like to play , I'm 37 and can take a beating , I play how I enjoy , not how I think I will get a result. There is games where I have a massive advantage in possession and shots at goal but ultimately I get beaten by a lung bursting ibarbo run or one ball over the top to a speed demon but I won't change even though I know that's how the game works this year .

I am lucky enough to have one of the best teams already that I have ever had on FIFA ( got messi in a pack ) and I just love trying to play the barca way. It costs me in some matches but when I win I am very satisfied.

I'm new to Fifa so am probably suffering from Butthurt Syndrome but how'd you do that?

nbkpsycho · 12 Oct 2014 at 13:22

Im pretty sure everyone gets a dose of Butthurt Syndrome on fifa lol... I just watched a lot of you tube video's to help me, I dont think it has helped me much though... still in dev 5

Just been given quite possible the most ridiculous goal in the 118th minute to win the Cup final. If I was this guy, my controller would be arrayed around the floor in little pieces...

The replay hasn't saved for some reason but his defender sort of backpassed it in the air, his keeper then ducked under it in goal when sort of trying to head it and... yeah. 3-2. I feel dirty.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Oct 2014 at 14:54

Does chemistry make any difference? Around half the teams I'm playing have Welbeck, Markovic, Salah and Walcott all playing out of position across midfield with either Benteke or Lukaku upfront on their own. Seems to be a set team that most people use yet their chemistry sucks

Stewy · 12 Oct 2014 at 14:58

I've never played with a team without 100 chemistry so I don't know personally but I've had similar experiences against players with ~70 chemistry, people completely out of position and it doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference to the way they play.

Dan7 · 12 Oct 2014 at 15:04

Team MoustachePeel

Even without his 5 star skills and on 8 chem Ibra is still insanely good!

Yoko · 12 Oct 2014 at 15:04

Sadly it's all about pace ala FIFA13

The rage is also strong in this one
I had Koke trip up whilst in the box unmarked and ready to shoot. He ran into the box with the ball and fell over when I hit shoot. Unbelievable stuff really

cHk4 · 12 Oct 2014 at 15:07

What's a good card for Aguero and Di Maria?

Also I have 100k spare, who is a good BPL striker that could go with Aguero? What RVP like? He was possibly my favorite striker in FIFA 14, preferred him over TOTY Ibra etc.

peterattheboro · 12 Oct 2014 at 15:09

Just signed Fabian Schar on a pre contract. So next season he comes to me, I go to put him in my team and he's not there. He's playing for Udinese and I'm paying his wages :confused:

Nice one EA.

Does stamina make a difference either? Sprint, sprint, sprint for 90 minutes

Edit: Think I'm done with online and this game. There's no variation to the football people play and I'm not sure if there's a pack I'm missing with 11 identical players but I'm playing exactly same team every time which must be boring as hell for people to use. Hopefully PES will be better

Edit: I'm now playing against someone with a player called Doumbia, who appears to be another Welbeck, and he's scoring own goals so he can run and score from the kick off and I can't seem to stop him

10-6 FT, Doumbia got 9, his keeper got 5.

Wha... what?
