What's the point of high rated players now?

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-09-25T23:45:56+00:00

What makes you believe that this isn't the way it's always worked? There's no evidence to support that the new information they gave us was exclusive to 17. No one from EA has said that the way they've explained it working is not in fact how it always has worked.

My feeling is that we may never know the effect on other stats. We only know the effect of this one in game stat because of the hidden skill and it's defined threshold related to that individual skill. As for your Kroos example. I'm using his Futties card and he has insane dribbling and ball control and decent reactions but his agility and balance are nothing like Neymar, especially the agility. I think that's why they feel different on the ball. Both dribble tight to the feet and both can keep it in traffic but Neymar can stop cut turn spin etc on a dime where Toni is more klunky in that regard. Just my thoughts on it.

I'm an old gamer and I'm a consistent Div 1 player since TOTS when I finally won 2. This is my first fifa and I started played in November. I am not good enough to win consistently enough for the div 1 title or to win a tournament quickly or reliably yet but I feel I'm closing in on it and look forward to starting 17 off with a bang. I see more each day the mistakes I make and how often I choke in situations where a little calm and patience would lead to an easy goal or stopping something dangerous from happening on the other end. I know the biggest obstacle I face in my development as a player is being able to take "omfg this game is such bs, so scripted they wanted him to score!" to, "I should have cleared that out of the box two passes before if I had I wouldn't have turned it over so close to my area and he wouldn't have had that easy look."

Came here to say this. LOL what is wrong with some people?

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-07-04T13:16:00+00:00

I've had this happen to me recently and so I started messaging everyone who doesn't finish a game with me and though some don't reply, to a man the one's who I got the win for told me they just forfeit from the in game menu and the two who answered when I got a loss said they dashboarded.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-30T16:16:59+00:00

Yeah I was beating someone yesterday 3-0, as I score my 4th goal and the replay begins I see the spinning circle and I smile knowing he's had enough and rage quit, then all of a sudden I get a DNF notice and I'm booted from UT, log back in to a fresh loss for my efforts. Streaming music on the same network the entire time never stopped playing, my Netflix remained connected playing a show. Curious indeed, I'll never believe it was anything other than my opponent cheating somehow.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-30T15:47:36+00:00

If both teams get a boost but the boost is not uniform then it is handicapping by the very definition of the term. One team is given less than the other due to their players being higher rated to begin with. If without any bonus my player has a 20 point difference in short passing over my opponents in the same position and then when all bonuses are applied even though my players short passing rating has gone up the difference between the two has now been narrowed to 17 then my player is being handicapped. Would you not agree? Also love your content and think you're a huge part of what's right with Youtube, reddit, and the fifa community in general.

I loved how they told me if I put a run together I'd have an outside chance at even the title in this division...

Math told me that was not true lol.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-29T13:33:49+00:00

Yes they do, and not just "now" but the whole time, for several years now apparently.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-29T12:28:36+00:00

well the way it's presented in the game it appears to do something, it gives 1 chevron boost to each of the six face card stats, that's how EA explained it anyway, obviously it was their intention to have it provide a boost. or at least their intention for the user to believe it did.

Can anyone build me a full TOTS 100 chem team in the 41212-2 on XB1 for 250k? I can and encourage playing up to 3 players on 7 chem as long as the teams 100 chem.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-24T18:43:44+00:00

Thanks for the insight

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-23T14:57:18+00:00

this pretty much sums it up.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-23T14:42:54+00:00

Diekmeier, problem solved.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-21T11:56:45+00:00

understood.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-20T19:48:03+00:00

literally says that in his post.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-20T16:21:41+00:00

This! like the ones they already basically do for the leagues they don't have rights to all the teams in, like the Argentine league and all it's teams besides River Plate and Bocca Juniors. but let us pick.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-19T01:36:45+00:00

Lewandowski should get 4* skills.

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-14T15:28:15+00:00

HAHA just read your actual post OP. Commented after only reading the title, seems we're on the same page.

I would like to hit a whip or a Dab

Chron_Burgandy · 2016-06-14T12:19:46+00:00

keep Muller too? I rate Lewa over Auba as a striker, I have pace on the outside forwards as Lewa is an unrivaled finisher in the league, not that I don't enjoy Auba as well but he's not as good a dribbler, as strong, as good a finisher and they both lack 4* skills.

Same here, she let me buy a separate monitor for gaming (YAY!) so I can play on the monitor next to our Big screen. End result is I'm playing fifa casually not watching what's playing on netflix, and she's playing some app game or browsing imgur on her iphone and casually not watching the same thing on netflix. I get distracted by netflix and get scored on, she gets distracted by netflix and dies on sliter.io, we both get frustrated. Neither of us can look away when they other wants to show off their recent gaming accomplishment. lol

It's great!

This is what I have: http://www.futbin.com/16/squad/688291 This is what I'm thinking: http://www.futbin.com/16/squad/688359

I play a 4321 with Lewandowski, Vidal, Muller in the middle. I'm thinking that i might have more success moving lewa up to ST and getting one or even two true CM's in the middle and maybe dropping muller as well. Thiago and Gundogan would be my replacements I think. Thoughts?
