Well, Thursday does come after Wednesday.

You might be one of those thick cunts who still say tomorrow even after midnight when they mean today.

Dammit got me confused as it's not after midnight here. Got my hopes up.

So, its Thursday then?

Yup

Tottenham is a fantastic team to play if your a pace abuser. Pace pretty much everywhere up top. You even have Gio in the reserves with with 85 acc and 84 speed.

I don't like using them because they seem overpowered to me, find it too easy to play with them, only like to play them because Gio is with them, only use them for friendly H2H games.

I don't use them because I don't like Spurs. I never use Chelsea, Man City, Real Madrid, Inter, Holland, Portugal, Uruguay, and probably some other teams either for that same reason.

Yeah I kind of hate myself when I score with Suarez... But Uruguay is a class team apart from him.

Also I don't start Lennon so that kind of diminishes the pace abuse, I do bring him on in the 70th or so if I'm down though... I play

Wasn't calling you a pace abuser or anything, just to be clear, just that it's a good team to play if that's your style.

I'm not a pace abuser, even when I do have a fast team. Although I like playing with default formations and some teams are pretty much made just for that tactic.

When I play with Spurs it's usually, Their usual starting line up, except swap Huddlestone for Parker plus add Gio for Adebayor, or switch Modric to the Parker spot and move VDV to the Modric spot and play Gio behind Ade.

The default line up is probably the best but I like playing Gio I just have to make room for him.

By the way Cesena is another fantastic lower rated team to play as, Murgo(Muto) and company are fantastic up top. They gained Iaquinta but lost Eder, so hopefully, Iaquinta joining doesn't up their star rating.

What are some quick and easy ways to get your VP to grow very quickly?

Boosting is the easiest way, but its long and boring. Try a career mode, control the whole team but have your pro in his preferred position.

Can I sim the games or do I have to play them?

You can you earn the achievements if you don't play for them? Simming is useless.

I hack mine though.

That's cheating.

I'm not sure what boosting is but I think I did that last night played 3 hours straight and made my virtual pro go from 72 to 81. Concentrating on heading right now and it's pretty difficult, also have trouble chipping the keeper from outside the box, he never comes out.

Boosting is cheating too...

Not really. At least not to the extent that hacking is.

No, it's an exploit, there's a difference.

But seriously, there's a difference between cheating and exploiting. Exploiting is like someone pace abusing, it's not cheating because it's not breaking the rules or altering anything, it's just really douchey. Cheating on the other hand is altering an game, like using a lag switch.

Funny story had no idea what a lag switch until a few months ago when I finally experienced it. Why would someone ruin a game by doing that?

Playing Career Mode with my flat cap on the market feeling like Del boy, Hazard for 15mil i'll take that my son

Tried manual since I was annoyed about passing and I love it, So fun.

Hacking your VP is not really altering anything. It's like having someone do your accomplishments instead of you doing it..simple.

don't do that, EA ban people's profiles from all EA related stuff if they catch them.

Just play some kick-off matches... edit the CPU scrollers putting their pass accuracy, shot power, goalkeeping ability etc down to 0, put their passing error up to 100. Edit the user scrollers as well, put your shot power, pass accuracy etc up to 100. Should get him good in no time.

Is the update out today?

Tomorrow.

Does anyone know the time of the update?

I cant wait any longer.

I hope it's like 12 AM UK time cause that's like a nice afternoon over here in LA.

I saw someone post 5pm for PS3 users in the Arsenal thread? It will probably be later than that, so.. consider playing a new MM on friday.

Galaxy is a massive 3 star team by the way if you want to use 3 star teams. Although you only have 2 days to play with them, Donovon is probably gone after the update, or has he returned? Not sure what is going on there really.

Don't use 3 star teams that often cause play just becomes snail paced, players can't pass more than a few yards and keepers just flap around like there's sun in their eyes.

Guess I could use the best 3 star teams but there's no fun in that, I like using teams I like and there's only like 1 or 2 3 star teams I like and they aren't very good.

You are thinking of another kind of hacking.
