FIFA 14

Damn game!

Got to the final of the gold cup, the tournament tree shows me in the final, the pre-tournament screens say semi final, I realised I recieved 0 coins for winning the semi final so it has got itself all confused and keeps getting an error creating game session, which means I'm stuck in the new tourney & seasons with the pace & cross morons :(
 
Think that happened to Happy, Tim. He wasn't able to play cup games for ages. Not sure if/how he fixed it...

First impressions on TOTT Hummels are good. Only had 2 games as played some BF4 on the PC last night but he defended well and bagged a goal from a corner. I was worried he was cancered as in the first game he had 4 headers from corners and only hit the target once. I had 13 corners in the first half in that game :eek:.

Second game 1 header, 1 goal. I really like a H/M CB who can actually defend (i.e. Ramos / Hummels). Makes a difference if he nips up and wins the ball high up can really change the game. Ribery was good as always, more fun to use than Reus but Reus' shooting is so good I'm not sure it'll be a permanent swap.

The best thing about Ribery is his dribbling and 5* skills. I'm not one of these people who just use the same routines while skilling I dynamically adjust based on opponents positioning so it's nice to have that in team especially as I can really torment people who are impatient (99% of players) and R2 and slide tackle after 20 seconds of not having the ball :D.
 
love it when it keeps you on the loading screen for 500,000 years. Now i know if i quit back to home screen, it'll give me a loss. Bloody game.

Team atm:

Not sure about bale, he gets a lot of the ball but i just keep failing to finish with him. Skied a ball from 8 yards away, open net (i tapped the shoot)

Benzema is surprisingly good on the left wing, especially with his strength. Really want to try out Neymars CAM card, but its a fortune :(
 
As far as I can tell, FUT gets the player updates and transfers but the career mode doesn't! :(

Why would they update it? It would make no sense from a business standpoint, really.

Bale works best as a CM. He's VERY good there.

Yeah, thats what I told him, lose a CM, have Bale at RCM as 4411 is too biased with a pair of MHs, Neymar down to CF then a target man, maybe SIF Costa at Striker.

I think I need to relearn skill moves, I can usually skill past a lot of people, then I come up against people using things I've never even seen before and make me look SO clunky :(

I have been planning to make a little skill video for a bit. I don't use all of them as some of them aren't that effective really but some of them when timed are devastating.

E: most videos just show you how to execute them but not the timing... over half the effectiveness comes from timing.

There are some random shuffles & quick turns that get me, I use a lot of body feints, fake & real exit, close control quick turns etc.. but some stuff just leaves me aghast :(

How do you do the turn? I get caught out all the time, player marking me, controls ball and spins around me with it...

How is this done?

Just purchased TOTS Costa and put Bale RCM, lets see if you have broken or bettered my team :p
