FIFA 19

After winning around 2 out of 6 with the Neymar/Mbappe/Bale team, I switch to the 30k Ligue 1 team and get two comfortable wins. Yey. Off out in Leeds now to drown my sorrows, I'm absolutely awful at this game.
 
It's almost worth quitting the game when you play someone is competent at timed shooting, who thought they could have implemented something so much worse than the low driven shot in 18!

I really want to like this game, I do like it, but longevity wise I'm sure I will have had enough soon. The shooting physics and keeper positioning element is just tragic.
I was 3-1 up in a game this evening, 10 game minutes later, and 4 opposition shots later, I am 5-3 down, all goals from timed finesse outside of the area. The game was comfortably won.
A football game should not be about moving the ****ing keeper! Remember when you would play the old FIFAs and making a player shoot from 30 yards was good defending (like in real life!).. Now you want them to run into your box to have any chance of not conceding a goal!

Absolutely ridiculous.

You've clearly not adapted to the game. I don't concede many timed finesse and I don't score many against good players. It's pretty obvious what is coming most of the time as people are very predictable. This makes it pretty easy to block or move the keeper to prevent finesse going in every time. Best thing you can do is learn it properly and it'll annoy you far less.

Main issue is 1v1s are too hard to score meaning timed finesse is the only shot to go for. Buffing 1v1 situations would see a more varied game imo.

Go watch the video that hashtag Ryan put up late December and tell me it’s not cringe worthy watching all the finesse shots he scores with pretty average players.

I see players moving keepers and they embarrass themselves, it’s like a kids game.

Of course but it is a video game, but Youtubers aren't exactly the be all and end all. There is always going to be a way to score in a footie game its the same every year. As I said at the start of this years I promised myself to try and improve and bitch about/blame the game for losing :)

Its a far better game than last years and I'm enjoying it and relatively speaking I can hold my own with or without my icon squad. It's more fun with the latter.

You didn't answer the question though is it timed shots which annoy you or because the other player beat you? If it is the former its not impossible to stop. I concede moving the keeper is stupid:D

I really wish I'd recorded the footage to the game last night rather than me describing it. I don't throw my toys out because I lost that game, I'm probably one of the few who don't do that, it's the manner of the defeats.

For the record, my record is as good or bad as most on my friends list, I'll happily lose to better players but when it's as tedious as losing to constant long finesse efforts, I'll moan. Where is the skill anymore of actually working the ball into scoring opportunity. I could go play that way but I would get no joy out of exploiting awful shooting and keeper physics.

Son literally doesn't miss a timed shot. Imagine what Icons do when you play them, they don't miss!
 
I've played 2 and won them, albeit going behind early on in both games so clawing it back. I played against prime Raul and his long shots were flying in, shock! I've got timed finishing on now, funnily enough even the ones that don't appear well timed are going in.

Keep taking Griez out of the team so I can try someone else at CAM but he has 31 in 48 there, I shouldn't be looking at anyone else!

I have 250k coins spare, not sure what to do really, I'm not interested in selling up as I will never afford anyone good from TOTY.

Sold my 43" TV this week and replaced it with a 27" monitor, considering I play at a desk, it feels a lot easier to play games!
 
I'm boring, just did silver 1 again, I've not had much time for games this weekend again. I really want just 14 wins and I'm happy but considering I got Felipe Ando from my rewards for silver 1 last week it will do..he is an amazing super sub FYI. I think I was 11-5, the first two games tonight I should have won but I should have played a practise game first!
