The state of the web app is absolutely shocking, I constantly have to refresh, a lot of the time it sits there and does nothing when it's supposedly searching for players. Using the console to find players is even worse, genuinely baffling how a company the size of EA can allow such terrible standards. I'm sure it isn't just me that finds this to be a problem.

the console is flawless in comparison to the web app, i need to restart the whole thing by hitting refresh constantly.

just bought a crapload of IF's all cheapest on the market mainly:

maicon SIF
matuidi SIF
dos santos SIF
rakitic SIF

still got a boatload of coins left over, need more players to invest in.

trading is gonna be lush now I have this base to start from.

thinking I could maybe get a few IF Melo's doubt he will get another IF soon, he's mince in real life.
 
Whats up with this game, half way through the game the sudden change in momentum is clearly noticeable. Players running around like sloths with a non existence first touch is just LOL

apparently it's all in your head and banding doesn't exist.

even though EA have it in their other games like need for speed, etc.

it's hugely evident on crosses, if your winning by 2 goals and the other team puts a cross in, i can guarantee you it will be a goal 9 times out of 10. whereas if your losing and they put one in you will find the CB's are in the right position to clear it.

but apparently it's all in our heads and the game has no momentum or banding mechanism kicking in behind the scenes.

it's a lot better on next gen but there is something fishy still going on and it's most evident in crossing situations. i don't see the stupid having to tackle the opponent 5 times in a row anymore of ps3 before i finally get the ball.
 
banding has been in racing games sine the year dot - its in most racing games for a reason.

Never seen any suggestion of banding in Fifa. If this was the case Id have a much better win/loss ratio and draws would be the most common when they are the least.

they actually found code which suggests it is in the game using the PC's source code.

you can find it online with a quick google on a blog called fifa aids or something.

well worth a read to explain how it works in theory

"The image is quite self explanatory but I will run through a scenario with you.

Within the first 15 minutes you go 2-0 up the match intensity actually shifts in your favour by +2 buts adds a negative to your opponent -1.
Between the 15th and 45th minute the score is still 2-0 but now you only have a +1 momentum and your opponent is now back to normal at 0. The game will now feel a little more balanced than in the first 15 minutes but you should still feel like you are in control.
From the 45th to the 60th minute is where it all changes the score is still 2-0 but now your opponent has a +1 momentum where as you are back down to the default 0. They get a lucky bounce and the score is now 2-1 and now the difference of 1 goal moves us to a new line on the match intensity database.
Between the 60th and 75th minute they still have a +1 to your 0 but you manage to keep them from scoring and you keep it at 2-1.
Now up to the 90th minute you have a +1 momentum but they have a +2 and in the 90th minute your defenders miss place a pace or seem to be easily bundled off the ball for an easy finish and the game ends 2-2.
Sound familiar? This happens so often it has become noticeable and memorable.

Apparently though this has been around since FIFA 09 but it just hasn't been as noticeable even their manual explained the affect it can have on your players."

banding won't make you win, but it can help you to do so, you still need to take advantage of it when your losing. same goes for if your winning it won't make you lose but it will help to make it much harder for you to win than normal.

It definately exists. Not too bothered about crosses as i usually deal with them ok. But defenders trying to guard the ball by slowing the striker down only for him to run around him and go through on goal is just LOL.

Lost 2 games yesterday on penalties due to this momentum thing. Also, when will EA fix the stupid corner bug? When do they ever see CB stand outside of the box for corners FFS.

Have you tried SIF Dos Santos? Rakitic has amazing stats
 
SIF dos santos was good for me, as for banding in Fifa it's certainly there, they won't admit it but it is this theory is frowned upon like the plague though so I'll leave it at that.

nope have you?

I don't play the game much tbh, as soon as i got the teams I was happy with it was all far too easy for me, preferred playing with 30-40K teams than 150K teams.

now I have 1.5 million coins I have just invested the majority of them on IF's.

I will be making 2 new teams though, both 4231 and I have the base of one already as well as 2 players for the other.

Martinez - Gustavo

Schmelzer - Hummels - Dante - SIF Maicon

is one base for my Bundesliga team with LM and RM 4231

SIF Dos Santos - SIF Rakitic - RCAM

is the other base I have for a 4231 team with 3 CAM's with Dos Santos as a LCAM, although I have about 4-5 of him and could swap him with the ST version is he doesn't play well at CAM but with his passing stat, pace and being weak I think he will excel out wide on the left being left footed smashing in low crosses.

got about 200-300K to finish off those 2 teams.

Not tried him, but thinking about getting him.. either ST but in a 2 up top formation, or cam! he'd be good at rcam (he's left footed).

how are you finding the 2 4231 formations, much difference?

I prefer the 3 CAM version they are devastating for 1-2's, it's hard to shoot with them unless they have awesome finesse shots, otherwise better off using them to cross with. So I will have a play about and see what he is actually good at and see what type of shots he can do well.

Team finished on futhead just need to buy the players

------------------- Benzema

SIF Santos (have) - SIF Rakitic (have) - De Marcos

-------- Song ----------------- Khedira

Eliseu ----- IF Godin ------ Pepe --------- IF Carvajal

--------------------- Lopez


Already got IF Miranda, Ramos and Courtois in one of my other teams so had to make some compromises, I can easily afford Casillas but I reckon Lopez will do fine, not wanting to waste coins tbh as I will probably hate the team.

In fact I don't like the look of IF Carvajal, Khedira and De Marcos

Think I may just stick with the 2 teams I have and finish off the bundesliga team tbh.

I might try out Dos Santos as a super sub at ST ;)

Rakitic will just need to wait in my transfer pile until I sell him on in 2-3 weeks time.

The manual is from fifa 09.

The code is from fifa 13 iirc.

Please do read the blog again properly.

"Apparently though this has been around since FIFA 09 but it just hasn't been as noticeable even their manual explained the affect it can have on your players. "

So the main pieces of evidence are from fifas 4 years apart and the latest piece was from last years PC version of fifa.
