FIFA 19

Finished for this week with 14-5. Don't have it in me to play anymore. De gea and Baresi were great additions to the team. I can see why DDg is favoured by many now.

What would be peoples top tips for improving? I have been stuck in gold 2/3 since the start of the last Fifa. I just can't seem to get to 20 wins. I've played a few in this thread and they can probably vouch for my semi-decent level of skills.

Try not to be cynical with any tips as I know buying Ronaldo, R9 and TOTY Mbappe would improve my results.

Greenmint Socrates is favoured by many. Maradona whilst fun is small and can be pushed off the ball.

I've only got to 20 wins once but that's mainly because I stop at g3. I'm currently a win or two away from G1 with about 5 games left. Not sure I can be bothered to play them after the sweat fest it's been today

W20 L6, sweaty sweaty, one hammering taken, one deserved loss and one that was pretty frustating - but once again I'm happy, although think I'm really going to struggle once the patch drops.

One thing I've noticed is that I don't really bag many of those outside the box finesses, except in tight games where I seem to try them a lot more.

You going for elite rids? 3/4 is doable with tomorrow's extension?

Rids · 27 Jan 2019 at 22:28

I think 3/4 is still a tough ask at that level, I'll give it a go, nothing to lose but I'm not hopeful.

6-1 so far, glad I have tomorrow as I've been away all weekend

L1

Thanks do you put top spin on the ball to get it up and over or once in position just hold L1 and shoot?

What are your teams?

How many custom formations have you set up?

What custom tactics do you normally use?

Are you finding scoring an issue or more defending?

Fancy a friendly some time? I can probably give you tips if I play against you to see what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong.

Fix timed finesse errors. Where a red or yellow timed shot still went in. Make it harder to green a timed finesse.

Still waiting for the fix to where your defenders are actually in the box when defending a corner. Only been 10 years now.

It's difficult when just outside the box, 25/30 yards is ideal, I put quite a lot of power in and hold LB and position myself to try miss the goal by a few inches. Neymar scores a hell of a lot, you have other players like Mahrez/Bale who have ridiculous curl so need to take that into account

Soulja · 27 Jan 2019 at 23:37

19-11. I had 3 games left to reach 20 but it must wouldn't let me win. I've never seen so many stupid rebounds and super human saves.

GreenMint · 28 Jan 2019 at 00:17

Wow, so Prime Rijkaard is more underwhelming than anyone so far!

Ayahuasca · 28 Jan 2019 at 07:14

Has anyone tried FS Mendy? Thinking it’s time to finally ditch Marcelo but Mendy would have to be much better defensively to keep him out.

I have, in fact I bought him yesterday replacing TOTY Marcelo. There isn't much difference I'm being honest.

20-10. Really frustrating, but glad to get G1 two weeks on the spin.

Hope this patch changes things, but I'm less than confident

Quinnaay · 28 Jan 2019 at 07:43

Bought Bale, can't beat them join them.

Played a team last night with Mbappe at RW, I have If Mbappe at RW, his Mbappe was lightning fast running away from SIF Sandro, my Mbappe couldn't get away from Chiellini.....totally bizarre.

Wondering about analogue sprint, mine is on(by default), do people use that or turn it off?

Did he press the pace button harder?
