I have played like that as long as I've played football games, I never have more possession than my opponent, kinda just all out counter attacking and getting the ball forward as quickly as possible.

I really struggle against players that keep the ball, I just get frustrated and make mistakes due to being inpatient.

Sound like a double of me. Tried to slow my game down and hold the ball better lately though.

Not noticed much in terms of slow down, although that would be a welcome addition.

I'm genuinely jealous you can't tell any difference - I'm not saying its a bad patch (yet!) but its taking some adjusting to. Still won 7 (I think) out of 10 in WL which is pretty standard for me but its bloody frustrating work!

Don't seem to be scoring them it's driving me nuts because it's it's usually guaranteed. Seem to be either hitting the post or keeper saving it with there feet.

Same here, I'm finding using normal passes as opposed to driven ones and then working to the byline, fakeshot stop/reverse body feint then pass it across to someone. Keepers definitely been given a boost.

FOr example look at some of these saves

most of them shots were long range pot shots though.

Bar the last couple I would never shoot where you're shooting from, long shots are too unpredictable and at a height the keeper can save easily. Some of them I would do a driven finesse style shot into the bottom corner. So rare I do anything else.

Those shots were going in pre patch which is why in that game I was deliberately trying shots from various angles around the box. The games changed again so just trying to work out the best way to score again. Also keep mind the players who I'm using....

In fact Andy do me a favour clip a few goals from some games over the weekend will you? Quite interested in how others score.

When you score just share>save video and repeat. Trim video down to the goal and then upload to youtube thats what I do. As I say sure I'll get used to it just wish I wasn't so sensitive to the changes they make.

I’ve about had it with FIFA now, first couple of WL games tonight were fine. After that, pretty much every goal I conceded was a rebound/deflection, didn’t matter who the players were, it was all a mess. Frustrating beyond belief, it’s pathetic.

GreenMint · 3 Feb 2018 at 01:52

Put Walcott in the OTW SBC and pulled out Countinho, I'll take that, now sell or keep?

Quinnaay · 3 Feb 2018 at 02:56

So knocked up a team now shame I've already butchered the weekend league playing will a hash team. For once it looks like a team I should be able to atleast half compete with. Certain I'll still fail mind. Switch to 4231 in game for reference.

Jimbeam3678 · 3 Feb 2018 at 05:42

Walker purely for chem reasons?

@Robbo don’t forget nothing’s changed and it’s all in your head! Well that’s what people on Reddit are saying

Quinnaay · 3 Feb 2018 at 12:00

Yessir. Had 5 games after the night shift last night and wow what a difference. The gameplay actually responded I honestly can't believe the difference. Zero delay went 4-1 which is better than I usually do but had 3 rage quits in 30 mins very odd being able to link up.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Feb 2018 at 12:47

I understand people using meta formations and styles of football but if you're 4-0 down wouldn't you want to change from PTB and try and score? It's like everyone's been brainwashed and they're unable to think for themselves.

600k.. never had many coins on this one (got 1m invested in SBC Del Piero though) that said i packed 88 Petit yesterday so hopefully make 2/300k this friday and then its time to build.

Have you already sold your 84s? they haven't gone up in price too much as yet.

Robbo · 3 Feb 2018 at 13:57

I know it's stupid but my midfield feels so exposed without Bakayoko, he's basically Gilberto Silva. Ridiculously good CDM. Only players I found better so far are Vieira and 85 Blanc.

Gabriel Jesus is the same at striker, just so good and costs nothing.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Feb 2018 at 14:21

No lag this morning and I managed to win 5 games on the bounce to bring myself back to 8/8 in the WL. Might play 4 more today then spread them out over Sunday and Monday to keep myself interested but now I'm annoyed I forfeited so many yesterday because I was winning two of them

rickjames · 3 Feb 2018 at 14:57

Currently 9-7, eurgh. However it feels good to have WL extended, playing 10 games a day is wayyyy more chilled.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Feb 2018 at 15:03

I'm 9/9 and only 1 win away from my total the last time I qualified.

Was playing 4-3-2-1 all game but I'm switching to 4-2-3-1 and it's made a huge difference to my ability to defend. The two DMs on stay back have completely stopped me conceding KO goals so perhaps it was the formation that was my problem

Just waiting for it to get laggy this afternoon then I can stop for the day.

I've played him a few times today and he is nowhere near as good he was. Starting to warm to this patch.

There's no lag because they have slowed the game down that much even with a 56k modem you wouldn't any lag

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Feb 2018 at 15:43

The driven pass is absolutely ridiculous now. 4 opponents in the row have managed to hit 3 passes from their area to get a shot on my goal.

Utter joke. 5 shots on goal to my 21 and 22% possession to my 78% and I lose 5-3.

Edit: 10/10 and I need to stop before the controller gets wrecked.
