Ah sorry! I've never played UT.

You happened to choose the one team that I HATE playing against ;)

The game felt quite slow to me, like the game speed was set to slow, happens occasionally online for me. It felt like there wasn't much mavity if that makes sense, players were running slow and not taking very good first touches, they felt a bit heavy. Did you get any of that at all?
 
It certainly didn't seem as fast as some games do, but against Arsenal, I always feel slow.
I didn't have any weird settings on though, so I'm not sure...

Anyone else want to play a straight-up-clubs game on XBL? Desperate to play people who I can get feedback from, as well as those who don't quit out.

If you fancy another game send an invite and I'll play you. :)

I'm out of form atm I could do with the practice. :)
 
Now, I'm not one to give excuses. But about 5 mins into that game, I lost the ability to view the whole screen. I could only seem to concentrate on the one player I was controlling.
It's happened before, I suspect because I'm getting tired :D

What a game though. You deserved the win, but that last goal gave me some hope! ;)

edit: oh and was the speed any better when you hosted? I couldn't tell much difference

You played very well and Torres is a monster, I still need to get the squad update because most of my players are in the wrong positions and putting my virtual pro in the team has messed up all the squad numbers too which is annoying to say the least. I think my van Persie tap in from that cross was incredibly lucky as you had a defender on that back post and it was very harsh on you as you had him marked well but sometimes crappy things like that seem to happen in Fifa.

I didn't notice any difference in the game speed either but I think my router is due a reboot so it could be that, I'll do it tomorrow morning. Anyway it was a good enough game, a little scrappy at times from both of us but I think that was mainly due to the game acting weirdly and being a bit sluggish, I couldn't dribble past a player to save my life, I had to keep turning and passing back or sideways and my passing was also pretty woeful as well!

I'm not sure if it's because I'm terribly out of form or whether it was the weird sluggish/slowness of the game, or both, but I wasn't very good at all, really sloppy passing and passages of play which could have been better but I seemed to make the wrong choices quite a lot. There were two parts I remember, one was where I opted for a stupid long shot from van Persie when you cleverly brought the keeper out and then sent him back between the posts, and another when I passed to Arshavin and he buggered up a good chance. :(

I was also really worried when you were sending high balls to Torres because I kept selecting the wrong defender or I'd put my defender in the wrong position and make it harder to head the ball away or to put a tackle in. Your finesse shot was really nice too, beat Clichy and then went nicely in the bottom corner. :)

We'll have to play again tomorrow.
 
Yeah cool, once I get some kip I reckon I'll be in better form ;)

It was scrappy, and those goals from crosses at the back post really get on my nerves (!) but it's part of the game and you gotta deal with it, I guess.

The Torres goal was a nice one. The only reason I was doing the long balls over the top so much was due to the not being able to see the bigger picture thing. Lob passes to Torres are an 'easy' way to have a decent chance of converting :)

And thanks for noticing about the keeper thing :P the amount of people online that fall for that is huuuuuge. I do it ALL the time, heh.

But anyway, if you see me sign in tomorrow, feel free to send me an invite. I'm off for some kip now
 
This is so annoying.
Go online, play a random, he chooses Inter (who I didn't really want to play against) so I decided to make it a mirror match.
He didn't like that, so he chose Arsenal.

I go 3-0 up within 35 minutes and he quits. Boring.
 
I take it you guys all play this on the Xbox 360? I play it on the PS3 myself because that's the console all my friends play it on. If anyone has it on the PS3 i'd be up for a couple of friendly games :)

I know, but hey, it doesn't mean I'm going to stop complaining about it ;)

K1LLSW1TCH, it sucks that we're having connection issues. You said about input lag, what do you use to connect your Xbox to the TV/Monitor? The standard cable gives some lag compared to VGA/HDMI apparently.
But I suppose you'd have the issue in your other games as well... Hmm.
 
It's 100% not something wrong with my setup or my end. Like I said, I play Andy and it's perfect, I just played a game right before you invited me and it was spot on. I used to play a friend on the PS3 and it was the same with him with this input lag, and it only happened when we played each other so I have a suspicion it's just certain players have issues playing against each other for unknown reasons. Unless you're having problems playing against other people too then I'd say there's probably nothing either of us can do about it. But I reckon yours is fine against other people too.

Sorry if I seem a bit arsy I'm just annoyed that we can't even have a decent quality game, I'm thinking of taking a break from Fifa for a little bit because it always puts me in a foul mood, I was actually raging when we had to restart the game like 4 times, it's not anybodies fault, just the fact that EA have made a ****ing annoying and inconsistent game. When you scored that goal (great lob btw) which bounced off my defender while he was making a standing tackle and then fell right into the path of Kuyt while Vermaelen just stood there and watched typifies everything that makes me mad about Fifa. It's just total bull**** at times.

Basically the issue I was having was that my players wouldn't move immediately when I was pressing a button, there was always a little delay, maybe 300ms or so which is pretty unplayable, I couldn't even pass to a player and then press pass before they received it so that they would then one touch pass it on to another player because it was so hit and miss. I tried that once and it worked, I tried it again and the receiving player just stood there and refused to acknowledge that I pressed A. The same with turning, I'd give a player the ball and he wouldn't turn, he's just stand there on the spot or turn incredibly slowly.

Like I said I don't think it's anything on your end either, just the ridiculously inconsistent online experience of Fifa. :mad::mad::mad:
 
:( Were the games you were playing before normal online games, or UT?

I've discovered UT and need to play some games to earn some coins, anyone fancy taking on my crappy first side? :P
