Fifa 12

[Dr Crane]

i play as chicago fire, i never score off a cross.

when i do, i almost run around celebrating.

This is f**ked. Im playing head to head seasons as Wolverhampton and have so far had in Div 5 Man C (win) Argentina (loss) Barcelona (loss).

So much for similar star team. They might be a div back but it doesnt equal a handicap in anyway (except maybe a proper personal one for me.)

Manuel Neuer demanded a transfer because he could no longer stay at the club :lol: off to City he goes. Wilkommen zum ter Stegen

Been playing a bit of Man City online. They are a beast team to use.

Love having Aguero and Tevez up front with Nasri behind them at CAM.

Fifa is dying for me, just coz of the amount of players that play with very little game etiquette. All the replay watching, celebrations, lagging and running in front of the nearest player at a goal kick or free kick are all really starting to give me this shits....

But one things is driving me f**king insane, and thats get a goal and then kick the ball at the back for the rest of the game, time wasting for like 70 minutes of the game. its happened to me in 3 of my last 5 games, and i cant get the ball off them!

So I say we need to get a network going on here, where we file complaints to anyone who does it, so we can teach these f**ks a lesson by getting them kicked off live.

whos in?

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Agreed.

I played a bloke that had 89% possession. Just doing some real sleaze tactics, the game ended 0-0.

I don't understand why people watch replays for goals from headers. Its a crap goal, move on and play on.

Another thing I've seen is people trying to pause the game when it becomes chaotic near the box, like from a rebound.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Oh also people that won't finish the game. They sit they re watching game highlights.. Nothing more annoying than a close game and being robbed at the 90th minute. Then waiting 5 mins for the other bloke to skip the screen.

Just started playing ultimate team over the past week.. Attempted to make a 4-1-2-1-2 team but the players I wanted were too expensive and my chemistry was only 60... I used most of my cash buying contracts and healing so annoying.... Then tried the 750 coin bronze pack method for making cash, but my stuff never seem to sell much other than fitness cards and some players.

I ended up selling everything and now have 30 consumables I'm trying to sell too... might end up with about 5k and want to start from scratch again. I'm thinking I'll pick a cheaper formation and concentrate on getting 100 chemistry.

Any tips on how to start it all again, properly this time?

I have a question for those who like playing the career mode.

I've started on Pro level and took a Spanish division 2 team (Las Palmas) with the idea of building them up to compete with the big boys in La liga.

My team was initially made up of all players under 60 (except a couple), I sold all my old players and have tried to get young and better.

Finished second in year 1 and got promotion, came 4th in La Liga in year 2 and qualified for the Champions Cup and Europa League. Currently in year 3 and coming 3rd in the league, still struggling to beat the top 2 (Barca and Real).

My team had progressed to having all players over 70, with some pretty handy young players. I also have 3 scouts going ($4million each) and have a pretty big youth squad going and have brought in some guys in the mid 60s with big potential.

Anyway just wanted some advice from others on how you go about buying players with big time potential? I've used some of the sites out there (e.g. SOFIFA) and foudn that my young guys only have potential to high 70s. I wanna get some guys with potential to the mid 80s.

Also, is it worth buying the top scout ($8million)? Does it make a difference?

Any advice would be good

Bought the game last week, finally. Will be attempting my usual League 2 to Premier League and Champions League Champions trick. Started with Plymouth Argyle.

Re: Ultimate team..

I've been doing the premium bronze pack method for making cash.. using the cheat engine via the web app to sell things like fitness cards for 150 'buy now' which sell like hotcakes. The squad fitness here and there pay off the packs by themselves usually. Made 10k now.

Anyway I tried a 400 bronze pack for the first time in ages, and a silver 'El Kabir' came up. I don't watch soccer so have no idea who he is but checked and he sells for around 20k! Has 87 pace and 77 dribbling and plays for a Serie A side which is probably why. Talk about lucky!

It just dawned on me that I would be making better profits using the 400 pack method anyway.. less things to sell.

 

[Geohood]

I think I've been too addicted to the web app.. upto 32k coins now and still trying to sell Kabir for 20k... at this rate I'll crack the 100k in a weeks time ..

Dunno the best way to go about making a team though... I've always liked Doumbia, Wellinton and McGready so they're all in the Russian league together but other than that not sure what to do..

I've run the battery on my phone dead multiple times messing with the web app on it.

Some sites that I use constantly (you probably know these)

ultimatedb.nl (player/consumable prices)
futhead.com (squad building... invaluable)

Basically play with Futhead as much as you can, try different players in different formations/combinations etc and you'll get an idea of how chemistry works. That's the best way to build teams, once you get the idea down re: chemistry you can build all sorts of crazy hybrid teams.

I did an experiment a couple of months back to see how much I could make in a week starting from a single 400 coin bronze pack and just doing some basic trading (buy player for 1000, sell for 1500 etc) for 30 minutes to an hour per day and I wound up with 240k by the end of the week. If you can find 2-3 really popular players that sell for around 800-1.1k coins at their cheapest you can make a fortune quickly.

I'm not trading anymore because I got bored with it but the ones I targeted were Agbonlahor and Sturridge, also Darren Bent but only in good formations. You could get them from roughly 800-1.1k and I'd sell them for 1.5k each and clear my trade pile multiple times per day. 30 slots on the trade pile at 500 coin profit per slot makes 15k, clear your trade pile 4-5 times a day and you're making 75k per day in profit roughly

Yeah those sites are great.

I ended up just buying a completely Russian League team. I haven't had a chance to ply with them yet but can't wait. They're all extremely fast and skillful judging by their stats. My team:

Formation: 4-1-2-1-2
Doumbia - Wellinton
Honda (IF)
Gonzalez - McGeady
Carlos
Ansaldi - Criscito - Alves - Anyukov
Akinfeev

Bench (hard to pick who to keep in and out of the team... these guys are beasts too)
Love - Eduardo - Danny - Tosic - Bystrov - Lumbaerts - Bocchetti

So many of these guys are over 85 pace and 4/5 star skills... can't wait to test em out.

Anyukov is probably my favourite RB in the game, also would be worth checking out Dzsukzsak for your bench his free kicks are amazing.

I've been really disappointed with the UT gameplay so far... it's like my players have 0 chemistry, are in quicksand and are like semi trailers trying to turn around.. can't string 3 passes together.. I'm sure it's a lag issue, like the game is skipping a few microseconds constantly.. Latency is always about 2 bars max, but even the menu's seem a bit slow even though I'm using a wired connection. I've never been so frustrated with it in all my time playing UT recently and head to head online matches in the past. Can't put passes together, defend or do anything, everything is just slow and unresponsive. The opposition never seems to have a problem though? It's like they're super powered compared to me. Anyone have similar issues?

Btw I don't know if Anyukov is any good or not because like everyone else, he's stuck in the mud all the time.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

I' quit FIFA for a few weeks, then felt like playing. The time off did wonders lol.

I've gone on 10 online game winning streaks and now I'm in division 2.

Jono, whenever ur rdy, I have an ass kicking waiting for ya!

 

[Geohood]

Lol.

Btw playing at midnight did wonders for the online gameplay quality. Finally had a good game that felt like it was played offline.

Anyone seen these, Fifa 12 fails - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppKiS5Tk7IQ&feature=relmfu

some are pretty funny. I had a really strange glitch the other day where 2 players on the other team got stuck to each for a good 15 seconds.

OMG I can't breathe hahaha
