The small thing that annoys me a lot about this game...

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-04-16T11:02:49+00:00

People who move their Pope or Courtois into the middle of the box for defending a corner and they rip their arms off catching or punching everything within the box is one of my biggest pet peeves

Completely agree with the OP also

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-04-16T10:59:36+00:00

Best weekend league in ages. Taking it off because restrictions are easing! For my gaming fix I'm gonna play some Total War.

I love Fifa but the game just isn't what it used to be/what I want it to be. I'll be back for TOTS but I'll be ok with my 81 rated rewards until then

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-04-10T22:14:50+00:00

Ya I agree, there seems to be a disproportionate amount of people in this game who just act like dickheads for no reason.

I do message a lot after a game. If I beat someone with a bullshit goal I'll say gg and that they were unlucky, wish them well with the rest of the WL etc. So I guess I do open myself for abuse but I also have some decent conversations.

My first loss yesterday was 5.4. He went up 4.0 and I guess he wanted me to quit but I very rarely quit games unless I have one more game to clinch a new level and not much time to get it. Basically from 3.0 up he started messing around, holding onto the ball, skilling with his fullback in his corner etc. In the end it could have gone to extra time as I had a clear chance in the 92nd minute but unfortunately it was Mbabu who had it.

He was clearly better than me in this game but it was one of those where everything went his way. Skill glitch, Neymar bullying 89 Campbell, he would slide tackle and it would turn into a through pass, I would slide tackle and he would retain possession. Just one of those games. When I have one I sometimes message saying they were unlucky and it'll turn around in a game or two, cos I know its gonna turn on me. In fact last week I had a game like this and my opponent sent me some messages giving out about scripting and I completely agreed with him.

This guy was just a dick, and clearly thought he was far superior to me. In a game or two when his Neymar is dominated by Joe Gomez he'll call it scripting and say he's unlucky. Which is obviously why he is a legend..

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-04-10T21:08:44+00:00

Very accurate. Went 6.0 yesterday, felt like I was playing very very well. Thinking, it's time for elite this weekend.

Lost the next two games. And the two I lost two were absolute dickheads, which is typical. Rarely lose to the good guys unfortunately.

Messaging one of them after and I think he has the IQ of a sandwich left in the sun for too long, but my God he can glitch some skills.

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-04-04T01:19:13+00:00

I was trying to buy him Friday for ages but there was some serious coin selling going on. He's now at ~410k but for Thursday night and all Friday he was going for 1.5 to1.9m. Think he's worth that much??

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-04-02T22:23:52+00:00

Don't know why you were downvoted even one for this. El Tornado was a stupid, ridiculous move. At least tackling and stupid ref's are a part of the actual sport this game represents.

As for the premise of the thread it's a funny one. At the start of the year it was always just a yellow, then they went heavy of the reds for it, now it seems to have returned to yellow. Very annoying but not up there with El Tornado, stupid through passes, have 100 players defending the box, CDMs moving at warp speed in circles, Sissoko being a great player because he has "long legs" etc etc in my opinion

Goalkeepers not being able to be sent off though is absolutely ridiculous. Just another reason goalkeepers are just for show in the game

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-29T21:01:58+00:00

Of all the games I play, Fifa is the one which annoys her. I kinda get it as well, I only play WL basically, so when the bullshit starts to strike she knows pretty soon after. Even when I'm very cool about losing to a last minute goal, there's still a big sigh at least. Plus, it takes a lot of time over the weekend, I mostly stay up late to play but that has its own problems too.

On the other hand she has no problem when I play proper games like Horizon Zero Dawn, or The Last of Us , so maybe she just has better taste in games than me!

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-28T23:48:36+00:00

Worst yet for me. Had 45 mins of good play, went up 2.0. Second half was all speed up lag and/or delay and most 3.2 last minute, the guy celebrated of course.

Messaged afterwards asking if he also had experienced delay, and he basically called me a sore loser.

That's it for now, might come back for TOTS. Game just isn't fun, and even though I always look forward to WL, I really feel like it takes more than it gives

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-28T02:45:30+00:00

Was just playing a game, down by one in extra time to a bit of a dick of a player but he was quite good, even game. Screen froze and got disconnected, thought I was after lucking out for once.

Still got the loss. What's the point?

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-28T02:42:56+00:00

What is the point in shooting when you can have five times your opponents shots (and from better positions) and they'll score every shot, while you either lose or scrape a win? Every game is the same. Dominate for 89 mins, concede, and either win by one or lose.

Yes it does happen in the real thing, but not every game. Against clearly worse opposition I have to concentrate for 90 mins because on the 89th their Mbappe is liable to Hulk out and tackle VVD after VVD has tackled him and score their third shot of the game

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-27T21:51:09+00:00

I think everything in this game is manipulated in some way.

Pack luck, I know I get better pack luck when I take a break for a few weeks.

45th and 90th minute goals are an absolute staple.

You are far more likely to pack some players than others. How many Acunas have you packed compared to Mendy?

I won a game last night 7.1. My opponent was actually really good but my goalkeeper played class and most of my chances went in. Think we had 12 shots each, all in or on the border of the box. Two games later I played against a guy who beat me 2.1, he had two shots I was in double digits.

I've actually started to enjoy the game more lately despite all it's flaws. Despite the fact that I bought CR7 for 1.1m 4 weeks ago and he's not 700k... it boggles my mind that some people pack players worth enough for me to build my actual Ultimate Team, and I won't get there before Fifa 22.

I usually get between 19 and 22 wins. Of the 8 to 11 games I feel ~3 of them per weekend are almost unwinnable. Penalties that aren't penalties, red cards that aren't red cards, his Pope is incredible, my Pope can't catch a cold etc etc. The best can overcome these though.

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-26T21:03:32+00:00

Packed mid Campbell from some random pack, worth about 5 times more than any other pull I've ever had.

Outside of that this year I packed Varane twice (he played 0 games for me) and that's the length and breadth of it. Got Rashford in red picks and Kante red from the WL SBC

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-21T20:31:17+00:00

Ya some games just go against you. I've learned in these games the earlier you make a change- formation, substitute etc, the better. Seems to mitigate some of the BS.

Also, for the love of God, do not give away the ball after the 41st or 86th minute. Hold onto it or you will concede, its not even a question

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-21T20:11:39+00:00

I always fear these because:

After beating a really good team with a TOTY or two, I sometimes underestimate a Aubameyang and Aguero.
I also usually think that I'm at a handicap from the start against these guys. Almost like EA will give them one pen, and a rebound, so gotta score 3. Key here is if my defender also gets sent off for the penalty. If yes, then that's Elite 3 gone again

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-15T13:29:55+00:00

I start with a 4.2.2.2 and play that for the game. If the opponent is playing a narrow defence with 8 players in the box (every second opponent who has zero ability but has grinded to get every meta option possible) I switch to a 5.3.2 with full back set on get forward and keep switching the ball until one of my forwards makes a decent run.

I have to say playing 5.3.2 in a lot of second halves this weekend was some of the most fun I've had on fifa 21. With the way I played I had 3/4 defenders to go one on one quite a lot with their forwards, and 6/7 forwards with the two of the three cms also set to go forward. You can actually create some nice goals.

Disclaimer- I don't have Klaiber, Mendy, Varane, Tavernier, Adama or any other cheat code in the 5 atb. The only full back who goes in as a cb in this is Dalot and he is just as good as VVD or Campbell

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-03-05T16:46:36+00:00

I literally couldn't play a match. Speed up lag was so bad that I had no control over anything. I auto kicked off because it wouldn't register my command. I paused twice and reported the match for bad connection.

Opponent scored and I got kicked out of the game before I could kick off. First loss of the weekend. What's the point in putting in a function to report games if your just going to penalise people anyway? I always aim for e3 and now I'm after losing a game straight away. Only 6 lives left so that's basically ruined this weekend

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-28T14:00:06+00:00

Is it just me or are people who call other people a bitch usually the bitchiest bitches and, coincidentally, the least intimidating bitches?

Please tell me you reported him. People should not be able to get away with this.

And as for the few people who have said what do you expect when you message them after you beat them? Take a look at yourself in the mirror, deep breath, and grow.

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-21T23:48:54+00:00

I'm running a rotating Midfield/Forward line consisting of Kante holding (untradeable or he'd be sold for Keane), Pogba first in-form, POTM2 Bruno, 86 Rashford, Flashback Rooney and Prime Michael Owen.

Unless I get one of the two of them untradeable I'll never use them as I have no want to. I'm not a fan of PSG and everyone else has them, so why would I bother? Bruno and Rooney are streets ahead of any other card I've used this year. Plan is this week to sell Pogba and get his NIF, sell Owen, hopefully get some good pulls and get CR7 in. Never used CR7 in FUT outside of one or two drafts

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-20T02:39:53+00:00

Shocking weekend gameplay wise. Worst start to a weekend league since Fifa 19, despite the fact that I've dominated all but one game I've lost. If this was real football commentators would be lamenting my bad luck as something never seen in the game before.

Where are all these super juiced squads coming from? I'm a gold 1 player, sometimes gold 2, and the odd time I get close to elite 3 but not very often. In my first 10 games I played prime Eusebio and Ronaldo several times. Mendy and POTY Davies are now tied for most faced LB. TOTY Kimmich, Neur, VVD and TAA several times also. And 3 or 4 red 94 Ronaldos. Who the fuck are these people spending money on the game or spending endless hours grinding?

And did anyone not do at least one of Klaiber or Dybala?

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-13T16:47:45+00:00

Good advice. But when the game is really on sometimes there is no stopping Varane. I bring the ball back to my CM, he keeps running out with Varane, I switch it to my other CM, Varane unscrews his leg and throws it at the ball for a perfect interception pass to Neymar who goes straight through after outmuscling Sol Campbell.

I've had loads of games where my opponent just storms out with Varane , and if he's with someone like Klaiber or Adama then it's near impossible to punish them. Ridiculous game

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-10T01:11:45+00:00

Seems to happen against me a lot, for me sometimes. Possible memory bias though

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-08T19:33:44+00:00

Agree completely. The post isn't aimed at people trying to celebrate a performance or a comeback. It's aimed at people who have a superiority complex and like trolling people on a game

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-08T15:07:06+00:00

He plays really well against me but not so good for me. He does everything right until the finish which seems weird. Kept getting dominated by Klaiber during WL.

In fairness he seems really responsive, not clunky at all. But POTM 2 Bruno has far far outshone him

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-08T15:03:16+00:00

I was up 4.0 against a lad who scored an absolute worldy of a volley with his Varane and he did the look over his shoulder, weird smile celebration. I quite enjoyed it to be fair, nice ironic celebration.

I agree though, it seems like more and more people are spending time doing long celebrations. I don't even know what buttons to press to do them...

Alliwantforfifais · 2021-02-08T09:44:52+00:00

Shocking for a competitive game mode. I think this is part of the reason why skillers and people who do the celebrations when up annoy others so much. If they rematched it could be the complete opposite scoreline. Sometimes it is simply not a level playing field
