FIFA 13 Ultimate Team

It doesn't seem worthwhile for EA to put a handicap in, they would lose money because people would buy less packs or buy cheaper packs if they didn't need the best players.

I don't think UT is a true representation of how good you are at Fifa. To find that out you should play h2h against each other.

Yeah I'm not sure there is a handicap, but the game doesn't feel right at any rate. It does feel as, if not more difficult playing a silver team with good chemistry, which isn't right.

There's definitely some sort of momentum in the game.

I said that last year. This year I don't really notice it that much

The few times I have though it's felt like the game just forced me into conceding/forced the player into scoring. Like my player would run into his players and just get blocked off (this has happened quite a few times actually with my players just getting blocked off by other players being in the way, then he'd run through, or a corning coming in, it getting headed out then trying to close down a man who you just know is gonna blast it in the net, the players don't move, just let there be a huge gap for the player to smash it in.

You must not know how I play. I sadly try to pass it into goal. Arsenal ball through and through.

Players to make money on? I've got about 40k

There is a handicap. I had an 84 rated team and couldn't win for shit, then I swapped to a 81 rated squad and won nearly every game. It's not a coincidence.

Or maybe it's you being complacent with the 84 rated team, not doing well, switching to the 81 rated team and trying harder?

If you all are interested in seeing some sexy Giroud finishing..

Near post top corner like a boss.. and of course.. the acrobatic works.

Might make a team with Hazard - Torres - IF Mata. Would have preferred to have done 4231 with Mata at CF but most people with a premiership team would probably have Mata/Torres in there team.

Anyone lagging on the menus in UT? Getting kicked off as well saying Ultimate Team is unavailable

FIFA 09 the last game not to have a handicap.

Everything I win through bidding is saying completing again.

Milner actually sold for 7k.

Web app is ridiculously slow and buggy right now.

No. I probably tried harder with the 84 team.

Its been like that all afternoon. Thats just EA for you.

DO NOT sell anything right now. I tried to bid on a 3600 Ba and my bid wouldn't go through.

It's happening all over the place. I lost out on a couple of bargains, but I got Welbeck for 2.4k just now.

Cool, the servers are down.

This is what is wrong with the game. In the last minute .. I'm leading 1-0

As soon as the through ball went over I was smashing the 'X' button to clear it, the player could have headed it or blasted it away at any point, he literally defied me and waited until the striker had dived down and headed the ball to make any effort to clear it. That's scripted.

That might explain why my Gotze went for 13k.

I'm so glad I never put Walcott, Sneijder, de gea and walker up.

If you weren't winning, that wouldn't have happened.

Solution: should have been winning 2-0

The solution is don't smash a button... Am I the only one who presses the button when the ball is in the perfect position to header it?

I always find if a dangerous cross comes in and you only press it once, you get beat to it, if you tap it a couple of times you're more likely to get there

I don't see how I'm more likely to miss the header if I press the button at the perfect time instead of randomly pressing the button twice at around the perfect time.

I have hardly scored a header from a corner online
