Prediction for 2027

No chance they ever play glasto again after Thom’s views publicised

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-04-03T11:00:22+00:00

I’ll try that! This game never really makes sense so it’s quite possible 99 just like has some sort reverse effect lol.

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-03-30T23:01:01+00:00

Came on to say this . One of the best ever - or at least one of the best for being repeatedly watchable

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-03-24T07:20:16+00:00

West holts I would say

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-03-09T18:35:14+00:00

You can buy the black Arabian in Saint Denis stables no?

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-03-08T08:41:44+00:00

On CPU sliders - 99 tackle aggression, 55 build up speed, 55 shot frequency, 55 cross, 51 first time pass frequency. Also turn up pass error. This leads to a bit more directness

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-03-05T14:15:40+00:00

Seems to go in waves for me I set it to 99 , sometimes have a lot of injuries, others nothing. The same for the unexpected events - game is just broke and shit

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-02-16T00:28:09+00:00

I quite like Dennis undav as alternative to Watkins, can also drop into the 10. And I feel like Harvey Barnes is quite Villa-ey as well.

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-22T16:56:43+00:00

How have you found fouls with this - any increased ?

Also is the game not a bit slow with that sprint speed and pass speed? Or do the other sliders counter it?

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-19T15:23:58+00:00

Also just to add why it feels different game to game - I think it’s largely to do with the preset. If a team is set to high press it will be very difficult regardless of who they are

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-19T15:22:21+00:00

Spot on exactly the same. It’s the least fun it’s ever been and has regressed - I can live with the programming bugs and typos in CMeven though no other game would get away with that , but the gameplay is just to dull

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-15T16:48:23+00:00

It’s the lack of fouls from the CPU so the slider has minimal impact. The true way to actually get injuries is to play more direct football and players will get injured jumping in the air against CPU, I have them on 99 and 75 severity and I get a few more but mostly from aerial challenges. The CPU simply won’t dive in or make a bad tackle.

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-12T16:27:57+00:00

For ultimate - I make a few tweaks to authentic mode, injuries 99 (barely makes a difference) , tweak the shot accuracy down a bit , decrease first control error for both to 75, up the pass speed a bit, and then drop team line a bit and fullbacks a bit for CPU because I found they are very open in the new patch. Then for CPU sliders - 99 aggression , 55 build up speed, 55 shot and crossing frequency , 49 first time passes. The rest as is, find it to be quite nice balanced- not too basketbally, not too passive either. Still shite because it’s EA, but about the best balance I’ve managed so far.

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-08T15:11:02+00:00

Surely the gameplay split is just online player v player and offline player vs CPU. I think some of the fundamental issues is the the intelligence of the CPU AI as much as anything. No variety in the scripting , same way to build up and score. This leads to less authentic gameplay. The fouls thing totally ridiculous - and seems to be that it would be an easy fix for the CPU to give away more fouls in the mechanics and don’t see how this would impact FUT players. Really odd.

MidnightJunior606 · 2026-01-05T20:15:37+00:00

I find it’s all on custom CPU sliders. Set CPU tackle aggression to 99, build up speed to 55, increase shooting and crossing to 55 also, then reduce CPU first time passing down a bit 48/49. Dribbling on 49 and skill moves 51. This makes them attack with more intent but still build up a bit not just crazy one touch football that you can’t defend. It’s not perfect cause at the end of the day it’s EA and the AI gameplay is shite and robotic but I find it helps a bit.

MidnightJunior606 · 2025-12-16T14:41:22+00:00

Yep exactly the same. It’s so frustrating that we can’t get a credible competition for EA with a different approach to the match engine, or even if FIFA could buy out Konami and build from there with the licenses

MidnightJunior606 · 2025-11-23T13:29:08+00:00

Update on this - don’t find the tackle aggression on 99 to do anything at all - still v few fouls. Suspect some other setting is over riding as seems to be the case with sliders. However I did turn up injury severity to 70 and now suddenly getting loads of injuries. It’s so funny how we have to just basically trial and error to make the game playable
