Really am atrocious at this game, never feel in control

i know what you mean ive just been playing squad battles to get use to it but moved over to try division rivals last night and the difference in speed is amazing i just feel like im chasing the ball all the time and when i do have the ball i have to rush as the other team seems to have 5 players around me yet when i am defending my players are miles away.

i have changes tactics to pressure constant and in game to press yet still they look like they are waiting for a number 23 to come along standing around

Just 6 - 1 down at HT to a none rare EPL side, not sure this meta is working very well in rivals...this will be my 4th loss in 5 games..

The ping pong passing is insane some matches, you can see people are just spamming passes around the edge of the 18 yard area in hopes the auto defenders you don’t dare control will mess up.

Ok bit the bullet and bought a 4600 points pack on Amazon, got Ederson and KDB. Said to myself I would not buy any points

Going to sell them and try to invest in the upcoming POTM sbc.

I made a loss big time last year buying cards inflated because I copied a guide from Fifa Forums and YouTube.

Going to spend a bit of time learning it all.

I think overall I am enjoying this game.

Currently 32-11-29 my biggest loss at the start of any fifa game.

Tackling seems almost pointless at times and the cross spam is making me want to toss my controller out the window.

Yeah it's getting very repetitive, almost every game is a driven pass down the sides and a spam cross only to be volleyed in far too easily.

You need quick LB and RB defenders, people say speed isn't relative in this year's Fifa I would say the opposite.

Glad to read people are loving it again this year

It’s going to be worse than ever for rage this fifa as they’ve taken away seasons and gold tournaments where you could always turn to when things are going **** up, your morale would increase after a couple of wins and all was right with the world.

Now I’m playing rivals in the lowest tier and seemingly getting paired against players a lot better than me and it’s making me not want to play the game. Got up early to have some games, looked forward to it and after losing 4 and drawing 1 it’s ruined my weekend.

Roll on blackout next weekend haha

What division are you in Andy? By bottom tier I assume you mean rank of that division?

manic111 · 6 Oct 2018 at 11:23

Wondering about something like this for a cheap unusual hybrid... Thoughts? Except that Bastian's pace is going to kill me...

Moothead2 · 6 Oct 2018 at 12:10

I don't think I've said "Where the **** are you going" as much in my life. The AI runs are seriously ****** and need working on. Why are my players constantly running behind the opposition leaving the through ball impossible or leaving the attacker a free header? It happens all the time. I'm also of the opinion the game decides if it wants to let you win. Other day I was beating legendary squad battles by 3 or 4 goals, today I'm struggling with Professional...

Same old fifa

pleased I didnt get it this year

Ayahuasca · 6 Oct 2018 at 12:33

It’s still better than 18 and we haven’t had a patch yet. Not noticed any input delay/network lag yet either.

I’m sitting rank 1 div 5 in rivals, 1341 skill rating which is a mile off where I need to be for weekend league, 1500 minimum before I even attempt it.

chroniclard · 6 Oct 2018 at 12:57

not that bad, 2 wins in 24 games isn't bad right.....once I have done this I am just going to rivals to practice.

80% of those losses were rage quits as I was just insanely outclassed.

Mark1989 · 6 Oct 2018 at 13:39

So glad it's now not just me ranting about rivals!

Sui · 6 Oct 2018 at 13:59

Can anyone recommend a YouTuber/guide for general basics?

My defending consists of leaving massive gaps, and I don’t really get this right stick malarkey.

Stewy · 6 Oct 2018 at 14:20

Just tried the shooting tutorial and it seems like best bet is to leave the timing alone - annoying when I've just spent a year doing driven shots with the double tap, it's like muscle memory now

Ayahuasca · 6 Oct 2018 at 14:36

Anyone tried Aguero yet?

rickjames · 6 Oct 2018 at 14:44

Currently 10-5. Finished last night, 5-5, have somehow won 5 on the spin. Not bad considering I have what I feel is a fairly cheap team
