I'm really not enjoying FUT as much this year as I don't think I'm currently anywhere near as good on it as I was on FUT13. My online record is pretty bad, and I know it will improve as I play more and get better, but it's so frustrating losing as often as I do. I turned FUT off and went back to my Everton career and instantly started enjoying myself again. I think I might do that until the patch is released and then I can try to get back into it again.

Yeah that's the most frustrating thing for me. Going from 75-80% win ratio to about 50% :D. I won 4 out of 6 last night at least, drawing and losing 1. The draw was a nonsense game where I couldn't do anything with my players having gone 3-0 up and eventually going 4-3 down. Luckily Mad Mario popped up in the 90th min to salvage a draw.
 
I thought the pace issue was fine till I reached Div 5 and got beat 3 games in a row by people spamming lob through balls to the likes of Ibaro and Eto'o, Vert and Chiriches aren't exactly slow either.

Funny you should say that, I had a game against an Ibarbo and Eto'o combo as well. Guy was Italian and I could tell he was seething from the first minutes when all his players were sliding around after 2 minutes. Obviously something wound him up in his previous game. :D

Anyway, his chipped through balls were ridiculous. I couldn't handle them. Hummels and Subotic were getting annihilated. Luckily because he was so angry at whatever, I won comfortably as he was leaving himself really open. Was like 10-4...
 
The best keeper I have used by far has been Courtis (not sure on spelling but that Belgian one from BBVA) put a glove chem card on him and he pretty much catches everything. The amount of games I have used him and he has saved my ass like hell !

I made a Belgian side last night in 433 (one with 2 CMs and one CDM) Benteke is an insane ST and really liking Mertens on the LW. The only downer is lack of LB/RB's had to go silver for them but they seem to be doing a good job so far.

But yea if your having problems with Keepers seriously give Courtis a go. He has been better than every other keeper I have used in the game so far. I think Handling on the keeper plays a big part in how much they catch and how much is parried. Courtis has 88 handling as it is so with the glove card which ups it makes it even higher.

Handonavic, begovic, cech, Courtois and some of the german keepers are the best ones in the game imo.

sczesny also played a blinder in a couple of matches against me.

i am in division 3 now, got something like 9,000 coins for winning the division 4 title.

had 15K sitting spare as well as 4 full teams and 2 half built teams.

decided to buy 2 packs instead of upgrade some players and finish off the teams a bit more and got naff all.

should have just spent the coins on what i needed.

best player from the 2 packs was djibril cisse, all the rest were discards.

also the rubber banding effect is starting to peeve now, Bernard the 5'8 brazilian with something like 40 strength and rubbish heading beating vermaalaen and vertonghen in the air when i was 2-0 up to make it a draw is shocking.

just drew a game 2-2 with 10 men, i didnt know you could get sent off for pulling a players shirt when he's through on goal, yet doesn't go down.

i mean i tugged neymars shirt with konko but he was holding his own and konko gets a straight red.

the amount of times i have had this done to me yet nothing not even a yellow is ridiculous.

the commentary said something about studs showing, so i think it was a glitch which basically cost me a win, because all i did was pull his shirt once or twice.
 
Raised the issue with over charged points with Microsoft. They said that i will get a full refund on the £50 i spend on points on release date.

Only expected the difference to be refunded.

Will see how it turns out.
 
I'm with you on the dodgy refereeing Sonny. One of my guys got a second yellow for running into the opponent after the passed the ball, honestly they barely touched each other, he didn't go down or anything, just brushed shoulders basically ... and he gets carded!? It wouldn't even register with a referee in real life. :mad:
 
Can't seem to make the Bundes squad play consistently well whereas the Serie A team always plays nicely.

On my belgium squad i got cheated slightly and got evra on the left because he likes vertongen at cb and chadli at lm and the zabaleta at rb because he likes vermahlen at cb and mirrelas at rm.
Im not a purist so it didnt bother me i was determind not to have silver players lol
 
Is this worth getting...on the Vita?

I've read its the same game as fifa 2013 except updated stats, but I don't own a fifa game on the vita and I was wondering would I even care as I'm only casually into football and usually only watch when its on in the pub?

On it's own merit, the fifa games on the vita aren't bad, it just constantly gets slated (and rightly so) because of no updates year after year except roster changes.

If you're not that into football, get a copy of FIFA Football or FIFA 13 for the Vita, will cost you a fraction of the cost and it's the same game apart from dated roster/kit. If there's a particular team you follow and like their new signings, you can always manually transfer them in the setting file.
