anyone else have like a weird obsession with not spending coins? like outside of evos, I refuse to spend coins on players to use which is really weird especially this year considering how cheap everyone is but I can never seem to bring myself to do it, only buy certain packs in the store once in a while and that's it lmao
i mean 4213 is literally the winger version of 4231, there's also any of the 433 variations but if you want a cam or 2 DMs then you're better off choosing 433 attack with 2 cms and cam or 433 defend with 2 DMs and a cm, up to you really but 4213 is probably the only one where you can fit all your players in with the exact same positions and roles and being able to slot your wingers in
him or the new maldini evo
at least this one was cheap broski
looking back, that's a low-key weird player pick from EA instead of making them separate SBCs because instead of one of the cards progressing, they both got knocked out. might just be me but weird gamble even for EA terms? anyways, give us a united RTTF card PLEASE
this guy makes me wanna Kms, 99 dribbling and tech+ on the edge of the box making my defenders have an epileptic fit ffs, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
played him DLP and he was good defensively but lack of passing traits leaves something to be desired in build up. whacked him LB with Anchor as he has quickstep and jockey so I'd prefer the strength upgrade as he's fluid in game already and what a beast for sure! replaced my digne at LB. no ++ at FB is disappointing but still held his own and great going forward and tracking back! div 2 and a 9 wins player but got 10 this week! I play 4231 narrow if that helps you guys figure out if he's good for you
what chemstyle are you guys running on him?
damn bruh, united so bad even EA knows there's no point in giving us a RTTF card 😭
ngl, I'm really struggling rn, I'm not the best player. div 3/2 and 8/9 win in champs but omds I can't buy a win in rivals rn, spam tackles ping ponging off players into my net, not to mention my players turn like trucks but the opposition moves like a knife through butter, anybody else facing the same issues rn?
ngl, really bored of this FIFA, no aspect is enjoyable. awful pack weight, casino SBCs feel too far behind for anything usable. might just upgrade to ps extra and play some new games lol, anyone have it to recommend if it's worth the upgrade?
Are we getting any more RTTF cards? they released a few and then just forgot about it lol
invested at 415K, remember, buy high, sell low, can't lose. join my trading discord now!
are we gonna get more RTTF cards in the new season or something? kinda weird how they sorta released a few cards then just brushed it under the table lol
went on a losing streak and switched to the 4213, won a lot more games but still didn't really have fun lol, don't have fun with other formations because the sweats just R1 dribble til your players move out the way and defend with their striker, don't have fun because the meta is boring and gamble SBCs are horrible. genuinely don't get how I'm still playing this **** game, addicted to a game that's so bad is embarrassing on me man lmaoooo, anyone else having the same problems so I'm not just a weirdo haha
in all fairness, there's probably no need to pretend at all, icon picks are shocking a lot of the time looool, at least you got a more than useable card in Firmino
feel like the pack weight is definitely worse this year regardless of promo, i don't even pack fodder cards lol. but I also feel like there's much more accessible 'guaranteed promo' packs in objs etc. do you guys think that's why the weights worse? or has it always been this way and I've been too dumb to notice haha because Im not seeing a single promo in normal packs
surely replaces WW xavi as playmaker right
genuinely worst gameplay all year, can't even enjoy my only year of decent pack luck because my Mia Hamm turns like a double decker bus, my Messi can't give a 2 yard pass, I can't player switch, every game in div 3 is just players hitting the ball off each others legs til it goes into the back of the net and every single through ball, it's like my defenders aren't even there. genuinely never been this tilted over a **** game, just quit guys, worst game ever
don't get me wrong, objectively a good card with a decent price but doesn't seem 'worth it' when they released a free zidane if you know what I mean? will be good for future evos and nice for my yashited pnp tho so I'm not really complaining
honestly, with trickster, the only thing I use is the fake shot lol, is the playstyle practically useless if you're someone that doesn't really skill etc?
was really bored so put on precision shooting and timed finish for the first ever time, so funny red timing finesses towards the corner flag the first game, genuinely most fun I've ever had playing it against my mate in friendlies
hold for a few weeks and she'll rise bro
I have loads of fooder literally only because none of these player SBCs have been appealing to me and the only gamble I've done is the 87+ campaign pick like 3 times lol, but if you enjoy the gambles of icon SBCs etc, keep doing it bro. too many guys sweat on this game forgetting it's just a game and will be chalked off in a year lol
just packed him, needed a RW!!! genuinely so gassed, first time I've ever packed a special Messi card thats not during futties
do you guys think his POTM will have RW position?
yeah, but Foden will Def be cheaper so gotta see if foden is better value lol
tried his and Jairz loan and I can honestly say both demons in their own right, Bale defo more suited to a striker role than a Winger imo, JZ clears as a winger, more nimble and responsive etc, I'm waiting for Foden SBC to decide between the 2 as I have rashford evo up top so won't do bale lol
loved the patch at first but now something feels really off? is it just me lmao? not as fluid and more ping pong scenarios like pre patch and GKs don't catch anything haha and my defenders are randomly running up the pitch even with defender roles and defend
bro was born yesterday 😭
just packed her!!! wish she had more CAM roles but I'm not gonna complain loool, may you guys be blessed with TOTYs too!!!!
what you gonna do with trivela on a left footed RW lol
totw for dunking on Garfield
anyone else do this weird thing where they only use coins for evos and have an untradable team lol and the cooks just build up and sit there like some weird FIFA hoarder? please say I'm not alone in this lol 😭
I've never let this game get to me before, hasn't been great for a long time but been able to get 11 wins with minimal sweating and 14 like a few times as well but this year I'm sweating my ass for 8 wins which was like 9 in previous years lol, anyone got any formation recs/ gameplay tips? playing 41212(2) rn
it feels like the AI is so bad in game that role +/++ don't even matter, should I just play players with roles I want even if they don't have a + or is this just a skill issue on my part? 11/14 wins last year but can't get more than 7/8 this year lmao so I'm not exactly great at this game
imagine the rage if these arsenal corner tactics were implemented in fc25 lmao, player base would drop down to 0, constant spamming to vvd and saliba haha, would be so OP as well considering how hard it is for us to defend the corners irl, we are **** tho
good as a LW inside forward with the passing? what chemstyle should I use, catalyst? need her for chem lol
im really struggling with the 442 rn feel like my midfield gets so overloaded when against the 4411 etc and I get pressed a lot and I can't win a game haha, I've heard the 433 attack is good, should I go with that or do you guys have any other formations you like?
guys 442 or 4411, I feel like guys who overload the midfield with players do much better this year and they press me so hard in a 442 and I can't win a game but I've also heard rivals matchmaking has been messed up, typical EA lol
honestly, last year was bad but still playable for me so I didn't mind it much because you could still beat everyone abusing the meta with Joselu and 4321, this year is awful tho but I can't stop playing because I already bought the game lol, learnt my lesson for next year, just wait til October and get it 20% off
bought 18 at 25k and she's now 19k, follow me for more trading tips guys. remember, buy high, sell low
gameplay is **** as always but does anyone feel like your players are offside a little bit less now? not by much but enough that is noticeable, I realised because everytime I played a through ball to hojlund I kept stopping because I thought it was gonna be offside haha
I always had 2 teams in every FIFA before this one, a meta ratty one and one with united players. this year, however, the game is so bad using meta players and fun players is the same because it's all ****. just play with your fave team and enjoy upgrading them with evos etc
black Friday is in the next couple of weeks, I'd probably buy after that tbh
on a level bro, don't stress yourself over this awful game. skill legit doesn't matter this year, every stack you're offside, you tackle the opponent 3 times and they still have the ball and they score rebounds constantly like it's a **** game of ping pong, try and just laugh at how **** it is because that's the only way you'll get some enjoyment this year. actually trying will just make you so frustrated
just packed him and thought it was mbappe lol, I got trolled so hard lmaooo, still looks a decent card tho, I'll put him on the bench as a super sub for my POTM lewa
I hope for your sake you don't come back to see the price at this time lmao
can someone explain to me what the actual purpose of Role +/++ actually is? like I feel the AI is so bad you can have a guy with not even a role + perform in the same position as a ++ and they're still always offside or not really making the runs they should be. I am bad this year lmao like div 3 and 7/8 wins in champs but id like to think this isnt a skill issue on my part
can't believe this guy still plays for my club lmao, if I was him, I wouldve dipped time ago to play with guys who arent absolute donkeys, my captain
dont worry lad, even when the game isn't as bad, like every FIFA before this one, you can still get into slumps and not qualify for champs. this year is different tho because each week, you're basically playing a different version of ping pong and rebound simulator lol, don't take it to heart, there's very little skill needed in this game, it's just a matter of if the jamminess goes your way
EA turned my boy Ljbinks into the joker, this can't stand, we gotta take over EA HQ
I think it's a good addition but like everything that seems good added by EA, it was thought out by 7 year olds who don't think about how different scenarios will impact the cosmetic design and how to counteract it. unfortunately for us my friend, were just gonna see this fixed next year and introduced as a new feature lol
lmao, it's actually a joke how awful the attacking AI is compared to defensive AI this year, you can literally batter your opponent all game but get caught offside and the only way you can consistently score is those awful weird ping pong rebounds in the keeper area
I'm not being funny or anything but are your players always offside?? I got more amount offsides in one game than interactions I've had with my family my whole life lmao
I run a 2 ST formation with Hojlund as poacher+ and Lewa as AF+ and it works well with Hojlund making those central runs in behind at defenders while Lewa drags them wide, was struggling to create before but poacher+ works a lot like stay central and get in behind last year for me with a pair of strikers
to be fair though
when I say budget I mean low budget like gold Grizi or POTM lewandowski or rush Aspas, these guys are really good at linking up play, cheap and play above their stats in some regard
there's better budget strikers I would say but I think if you got the coins for Zola, defo try him out bro, I heard he's cracked this year
it would be like EA to say it's not a mistake and leave it or fix it after 99% of people have claimed the second loan and then say impacted players will receive correct reward in coming days and then give you a free centurions grealish at the start of futties
I'm not good at this game by any stretch so take this with a pinch of salt but id play her playmaker CM, feel that way she dictates the play and gets really involved, seems a waste to put all that fodder in to not get that much use out of her in game
ah ok, thanks for the reply bro, it just got me really curious lol
I've seen a few comments of people buying coins from U7Buy or whatever and being shocked that they got banned? are these people being sarcastic or something lol because I swear you always get banned for buying coins? was there a time recently when buying coins was reliable or something like that?
ngl I'm really struggling this year, I play 41212(2) and feel like theres not really any space or consistent build up play. is that on me or is it just a crappy gameplay thing and do you guys have any recommendations for alternative formations?
I think you misunderstood what I meant bro, I meant it in terms of ranks so 11 wins last year is 9 wins this year. if you're going by the fut champs rank which was rank V. I meant to say I haven't hit rank V or 9 wins once this year, only 8 wins haha. sorry for the confusion
shows up in the cosmetics tab for me, try there if you haven't already bro
I think everyone sucks this year haha, the average players anyway, I was 11 wins last year and haven't got the same rank V once this year. doesn't help that the gameplay is awful and rewards look nice but are pretty underwhelming with returns from opening them. awful gameplay and pushing so many storepacks creates a lot of toxic rats my bro, maybe try and play something else or spend time with people you love. look after your mental health, don't let this game or some crappy community ruin your day. have a blessed weekend brother
looks like Muller lol
honestly bro, the game is worse than ever this year, try not to let it ruin your mental health too much. just take a break and do other things you enjoy and forget about this trash :)
can someone help me understand the difference between centre half and holding hahah, they both sound really similar in terms of how they'd play in game to me
don't know why my comment sent twice lmaooo, I'm an idiot, pay no attention to it
cba complaining too much this year because it drains too much energy, everything about this game is cancerous. having said that, I was obviously annoyed I got him but he's not bad. he's not great by any stretch but he's usable and you don't notice the pace that much because of how bad pace is in general this game, really only struggles against opponents who time lob passes really well. otherwise decent, strong tackling animations, nice positioning, just don't drag him out and leave him exposed to over the top rats haha but pair him with someone fast, should be all good regardless
9 and 6 tbf, I'll take that but it was like torture getting there tho haha, think I'm just gonna stay a casual this year and just wait for the new Assassins creed to come out
what skill haha, the bar for skill in this game is so low, it makes insigne look like Weghorst
appreciate it brother
much love brother
I'm literally 1-3 in my first champs this year lmaoooo, let's see how far I get
honestly, fair play bro, I'm glad you find some joy in this game, I tried the evos with mainoo and hojlund but the game is too frustrating for me icl haha, hope the evo content keeps getting better for you bro
ngl, I'm not great at fifa, I'm slightly above average at best, 11 wins in champs last year regularly but I'm so bad at this game and the game itself is awful, animations, passing, my players are always offside, the script is unreal and I can't tell if the game is really that bad or if I'm just absolute dog **** this year haha, it's genuinely awful, don't enjoy this game at all even when I win. sorry for the rant lads, just giving my thoughts on this game for me, feels more awful than ever
thanks lad
thanks lad, appreciate the reply
lads, if I was 11 wins last year for champs, whats like the same in terms of wins this year? just qualified for my first champs of the year and wanna know what I should be aiming for haha
thanks lad, appreciate it
really bad phrasing on my part lmao, I meant what's like the average wins for an average player at the game so I can look at the rewards and see if that's worth putting myself through the torture of this game haha, my bad
thinking if I should try and qualify for champs or not bother, I'm a div 3 player, 11 wins in champs last year, is it worth it to try and qualify or not really?
yanited undefeated in Europe, we're so back. (I cry myself to sleep every night dreaming about Sir Alex saving this club)
me but with div 3, I go 3/4-0 up and then my players act like they've never seen a ball or used their feet before and my opponents equalise and it's like 5-3 scoreline every game and even when I do win comfortably, I just don't enjoy it. the previous FIFA's were by no means great but I at least enjoyed them a little bit with grinding and win streaks, don't feel that at all this year
kinda crazy how Madrid were 2-0 down to Dortmund and Liverpool and then beat them both 5-2 and also beat both of them in a CL final with a clean sheet and klopp managed Dortmund and Liverpool. pretty crazy stuff, seems almost near impossible to have this in common with another club
