Not sure why but first round tends to be the hardest but if I get through that the rest is usually pretty easy.

Yeah first round is either a walk over or a tediously horrible game. I had a really good record in finals on 13 and 14 but in 15 I struggle as I'm nowhere near as good at winning. For the FUTMas tournament it took me 3 finals to actually win one and the New Year one I won after a lost final. Helps when I have the 5 at the back lads rested up for a final

.

Do you find with your Ronaldo, Bale and Neymar 5 atb team that your opponent just 'goes' and loses their head? It's hilarious. One guy was sliding and missing me by about 5 yards yesterday.

It's a mixed bag really, either you get the people who just think there's absolutely no point carrying on when being 2-0 down and quit (when there is!) or the absolute try hards who raise their game to beat you.

Gold Cup is bugged for me so I can't play it

Larsson in front of Ibra is pretty nice. Larsson is unreal.

Might of bought Larsson and Crespo..

I might pick up an XB1 this year, always wanted to try some legends.

Finally got my New Year Open tourney rare gold pack last night... went to pens in the final and I deliberately blasted balls over the bar haha

Quinnaay · 5 Jan 2015 at 15:21

Haha that bug is annoying and the guy you played would have had no clue, the first win I got in that final I won legitimately in normal time and it didn't give me the pack.. Won it many times after and it did mind.

FUT servers really are shocking ****. not been able to get a game at all today. all other online modes work fine.

I'm usually the one doing slide tackles (well sometimes)

Doesn't matter what players the opponent has I just get addicted to sliding for some reason and end up getting a player sent off. This usually goes on for a few games before I stop playing as it gets out of control

I always lol at people who quit, especially when there's enough time left for a comeback which is perfectly possible. I always stay on if losing, the annoying ones are when you make a comeback then they score a late equalizer or even grab a win. Doesn't happen much but those are usually the fun games with loads of goals involved. I think last year it was easier to make a comeback.

I've won the champions cup about 20 odd times now and getting 2k + a free pack each time.

I'm sure the glitch where the loser of the final gets the prize has happened on previous FIFAs. I have read on EA forums before that it takes into account the stats and awards it to the 'better' player but I have no idea if this is true or the imagination of 12 year olds

I love players like you. I dribble / skill a lot so reckless slide tackling is like cash in time for me

hehe, well I like to dribble a lot as well (without skills), I think most have got the hang of defending but there will still be times they can't stop you. Against those who can't defend it's a lot of fun tearing them a new one

Also you may have forgotten but we had a few games back in FIFA14 on PS3, I don't remember you beating me I think it was a few draws, I might have even won one

Rusty0611 · 5 Jan 2015 at 17:35

I was seriously bad at FIFA 14 on PS3. The dribbling was horrible in it. It was better on PS4 but 15 is more in line with how I want to play (as was '13). Beating me in 14 was like beating Tim

. If you've got it on PS4 we should have a game.

In fact from memory I had a 50% win ratio on PS3 before swapping to PS4. It then evened out around 65%. Fifa 13/15 are more like 80%.

Ayahuasca · 5 Jan 2015 at 17:35

Just logged into my FUT and have 475k for some reason after being reset. Time to make a cheap squad and spend the rest on packs next week.

I had never noticed this thing with the cup , i must play some and find out

Interesting, no I don't have a PS4 (yet), bought FIFA on PC for the first time

Personally I preferred the dribbling last year, this time around like I've said previously, it's too pace orientated.

Pace has been a problem in FUT since FIFA 10 when I switched from Pro Evo. The fast players just have too large an advantage to negate due to the way the game works. To be honest I struggled with pace more last year than this.

Losing 10-0 in the 35th minute but still doing roulettes on the halfway line?

Stewy · 5 Jan 2015 at 18:56

Larsson is absolutely insane, wow. Just wow. Actually maybe better than Ibarbo.

Ha ha ha! Maybe not quite then but I was absolute dog at 14 really. The game felt awful to me from start to finish. I much prefer the feel to 15. Closer to 13 which was probably my favorite.

Ayahuasca · 5 Jan 2015 at 19:11

13 was so good at the time, dribbling was on point and I loved longshots back then. Can't imagine it would feel too good now though.

dacads · 5 Jan 2015 at 21:08

Just built my first hybrid, consisting of seria a and bpl players. Played so beautifully, everything was going my way and the other guy ended up quitting at 4-1 down

May not be 100 chemistry, it's actually 93 but that didn't seem to matter

I have had problems in the past though when having 100 chemistry but having one guy such as the ST from another league and nation who will play like poo, so not trying that again.
