FIFA 14

I wonder if its because u are on xbox - I really need to try that...

Ive took my PS4 over to a mate who was on ADSL - input lag
a mate with virgin media - input lag

I know you are an experienced player Tim so you would know if your games are suffering from this kind of input lag or not...
 
hahaha u are decent what ive seen (well the vids you posted anyway)

You have lots of experience of fifa so would know it its playing correctly or not I think...

When its running fine for me its close to single player mode - the smoothness and reaction times...

When its not everything goes slow, movement sluggish, players falling over, players not controlling ball etc
 
So frustrating, playing a guy with full TOTS/IM/IF Bundeslig team, cross spamming to & with MOTM Aubameyang & TOTT Robben all game, take it to extra time, he birngs on Crespo & Ibra, I get fouled, get a pen, he quits, I don't get a win! :(

For the hundredth time that's a combination of the FIFA momentum mechanic and just the terrible servers. You can't do anything to fix it. One is part of the game mechanics; one is just EA :(
 
Rusty this cant be the case when players like Tim don't suffer from this...

If it is FIFA momentum how come it can happen at any time during any combination of win/losses in a row....

Also notice when it does happen - when I got the PS4 GUI the things is running extremely slow - getting spinning cirle and players pictures take ages to show up, messages are slow etc - as if something weird is happening....

but when do network test - it shows 45mb down and 7mb up
 
No not Messi :(

He never sold, so i'm keeping him. The only player i like to try is Ibrahimović but he is going for 4mil (just crazy) no point when Fifa 15 out soon. If i'm getting Fifa 15 or PES will try both demos before hand.

i think i'm playing the best football ever, still lose every game but i'm having fun with game play build up and learning a few skill moves is helping.

I've already told you:

1) FIFA momentum

2) EA servers

There is no particular reason. Accept it move on and stop looking into things which aren't there.

I don't like momentum in the game either but it's there and it's nothing to do with your internet connection. Sometimes it lags as well but that's due to EA being a horrendous company :D.

Lag can really kill you as well depending on what you're trying to do. It's practically impossible to skill / dribble with any lag. :(

The funny thing with momentum is that the first thing you want to do when you notice it against you is to keep the ball and ride it out. I think that paradoxically keeping the ball makes it worse :D
 
When you try and play against it though you try simple passes that the game purposefully lets your opponent intercept. The thing I hate most is when lag and momentum are at work and you make simple passes and your players lunge for the ball and miss it, or control it with awful 1st touches that bounce off them.

Use 80 and lower rated squads, fixes everything :)

But does make your goal keeper become superman be warned, but only when the other team is 5+ rated higher :)

Sounds like we are due a game, let me borrow Messi again to traumatise you :D

yeah no problem at all, i only use him so people mark him and let Neymar score instead :)

Dredd if that was true I'd have been expecting my players to be falling over when we played yet I won 8-1? :p

As an aside it honest makes no difference. I've played with enough teams (high and low rated) to notice nothing different between a 4/4.5 star team and a 5* team. If your 4 star team does something well I think you're just putting it down to the rating where it's actually to do with you know what you pressed and what you did with the stick :p.

I have noticed though that there is a degree of ratings cancer from 85 upwards. My teams felt sluggish from the off (similar to having momentum against you) for the whole 90 minutes. EA balancing mechanism :p.

I sold all my TOTS cards I was using. Had DDR, Vidal, James (from chanjy) and Cuadrado... made 4m coins from selling them all along with the normal players in those teams :eek:. Considering I paid 150k for Cuadrado, 80k for DDR, 350k for Vidal and nothing for James I made a bit of profit. Which I've re-invested in Ronaldo :D. Had to get a million coins to be able to afford him but it was something ludicrous like £3.10.

iMOTM Godin and TOTT Mad Masch are dreamy. Really good.

well ive just played 3 games in a row and all games were sluggish as anything - my players cant control ball and have a player taking the ball of them before they can move.......

this last for the full game not just part of it........

Mate if you really think your internet connection is causing things like that I can't help you :p.

Thats Fifa for you, spend millions of coins to play cross spam

Played a full TOTS/Y team earlier. Mainly La Liga from memory. It was a standard 442. He was cross spamming with Ronaldo's left foot from LM and Di Maria's right foot from RM. Mind boggling. Kept my anger levels under control (at the money spent to be so pathetic) and won 3/4-0. He was one of those guys who isn't very good at the game thankfully.
