Sod it, using an old xbox controller, off to buy a new controller, thats bound to be the reason i lose a lot right?

microsoft official wireless controller with cable for windows. i highly recommend that one. no need for any of that battery nonsense. only works on pc though with the cable am sure.

So Baresi's 93 prime doesn't need an icon but Crespo's 90 does, hmm...

A lot of it has to do with usability and popularity. If you look at their tradable counterparts you'll see that prime crespo is also a lot dearer.

played 11 won 8 so far in weekend league. 2 of the losses were tight a 3-2 where i squandered 3 really easy chances trying to walk it into the net. the other was a terrible defeat.

last guy i played had a crazy tactic where he was high pressure and used both full backs to attack so much both were knackered by half time. i got 4 goals from crosses and the last was a chip over keeper outside the box from miles out. he subbed both full backs off at half time. so it was the way he played it finished 5-3 but i exposed his wings obviously with the 4 headed goals. great game but obviously he must play a lot of teams without wingers and win.

Yeah got an xbox one controller, doesnt work with the old wireless dongle, have to plug it in for now.

Right stick switching still doesnt work.

Dabbled back into WL, 2-1 and already done, the loss was the worst game of FIFA I’ve ever dealt with. The other guy was absolutely trash but Casillas was stopping everything and Ibra hit the post/crossbar 8 times with 2 clearances off the line. Had to check the deadzone on my controller afterwards to see if it was off as he missed some absolute sitters on top of that.

Lost 3-1 with 70% possession, 21 shots on target to his 4... I played exactly the same as my 2 wins where everything was flying in nicely.

you can't let 1 loss effect you that much. especially against people who use timed shooting. had a guy with 92 Raul and all he did was pass to him then time finesse and it went in off the cross bar every time. keeper couldn't get near it when it's hitting the bar then going in. he beat me 4-3 but if there was no timed finesse in the game he would have lost 3-0.

I'm probably doing myself an injustice by not learning timed shooting, I just don't want to be forced to play a certain way :eek:

I'm in the exact same boat if I had learned it I would be smashing teams double digits

The guy I lost to wasn’t using timed finesse he was tragically bad.

I learnt it pretty quick, still score a shed load the standard way.

Main thing I need to learn right now is defending properly and learning 5* skills with Neymar and Mbappe, need to utilise them more

Praying this Ndombele SBC drops tonight and doesn't cost a fortune

Actually just watched Nepenthez's video on it now, you only use it really at range or volleys/headers? Seemingly no point in using it in the box if I see what he's saying? Power up while the ball is away from the foot, 2nd tap on contact?

I just use it for finesse shots *shock*

1 win away from g3 with only 2 losses and now I go on a losing spree. Dominating games and conceding the crapiest goals ever. I don't care what anybody says. Fifa is 100% scripted.

I just had one of those games where I was 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 up and lost 5-4 in the final minute to a penalty. One of those games where you just sit there and think WTF just happened, the guy just scored every attack he had (5 shots) - it was the most comfortable game ever and lost!

Ayahuasca · 20 Jan 2019 at 14:00

I’m hearing the new meta is doing an el-tornado skill move and crossing it in...

That’s got to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in a fifa game.

I was actually sitting there and laughing at the bs that I was seeing. I had 3 ones on ones at the end of one game and his GK was making some amazing saves yet my GK punches the ball out to Pogba so he can head it into an open net. Cheers game.

I go through patches like that. Goes something like
Games 1-10 easy enough
11-20 feels like the game is against you. Constant grind
21-30 winnable but close

Also just won the most satisfying game after going 3-0 down in the first 40mins. Opponent paused the game to signal I quit but pulled it back to 3-3. Ended up 6-3 on extra time and they rage quit
