FIFA 13

Means I can't play my CM anymore as I've upped it to legendary when World class was too easy so it's apparently gonna stay legendary. EA really do pull out some stupid shit don't they

wot.

Go to Game Settings before playing a match and you can change in there. As well as the weather before a game, which is handy if you don't like playing in rain or snow.

Doesn't change it back down straight away. Takes 2/3 games for it to kick in apparently. Which makes what I wanted to do hard as hell (world class against shitty teams, Legendary against big teams)

Never noticed it until today when I changed to legendary for one match and the next 3 matches were all playing like legendary even though I'd switched down. Thought the latch had fucked up the sliders.

2 more things;

1 - any tips on how to head the ball properly? Nearly everytime I go for a header, no matter the player, I'll nearly always miss. Getting to be point I don't even cross the ball in at all, even from corners.

2 - I've been offered 2 international jobs, USA and Columbia. Is it worth taking one? Only did a short stint as France manager when I 1st go the game and it was alright. And if I should take one, which one would be better? I like the idea of having Falcao to play with wih Columbia.

OK since I don't send this game out until Monday I decided to play a bit of H2H and now I'm going to have a rant...

It's an absolute tackle fest!

Automated tackle after automated tackle. I (or my opponent) don't even have to touch the controller and the CPU controlled players will just steal the ball with their superhuman anticipation and reaction times. Even phaggots like Modric are immaculate defenders (Yeah I got Real Madrid every time!). You get absolutely no time on the ball and the midfield is completely useless (as it's always been in FIFA).

Yeah OK so still I try to play my boss passing game ( ) with my shitty midfield and dese guys just play perfectly placed over-the-top through balls all game and manage so many (SO MANY!) 1 v 1's with my keeper.....I ain't even mad...

Den I play some training and the ball is invisible

You're probably imagining this...

Just played a CM match on Christmas.

EA don't really have a trackrecord of listening to this kind of thing at all, game sells too much for it to bug them. Something to add may be that Sony and Microsoft are also at fault here, i have had none of the problems from PS3 while playing it on PC even though they receive the same game updates. The key differences being that its EA only distribution of updates and patches on PC while they have to go through 3rd party companies to get approval and update clearance, game seems buggy for longer and Consoles are getting old quicker than expected.

Suarez has been downgraded to 84.

They should at least do something the pay us back for this mess. Re-setting the catalogue would be good.

Finally broken into the top 4 with Villa in my fourth season.


Subs : Leali(69), Baker(77), Shaw(74), Delph(80), Gardner(80), Wells(77), Benzia(78)

Also got players like N.Welbeck(79), Weimann(79), Kelvin(77) in the reserves.

Playing against someone that's on your club when you're using your international team is funny.

Anyone on Ps3 fancy a match? im brenneis1993 if you want to add me

When is Del Piero being patched into this shit?

He has been.

No he's not.

This FIFA is pretty shit.

Finished my 1st season with Arsenal and it didn't freeze! Ended up 3rd behind Chelsea and winners United. Won the COC against Man United 2-0 which was a good result as it's the only time I beat them Got knocked out of the CL by Dortmund 4-4 (1-1 at their stadium, 3-3 at mine (last minute equaliser by them ())

Team is:


Subs; Mannone[70], Jenkinson[73], Mertesacker[81], Diaby[78], Ramsey[79], Chamberlain[80], Afobe[72]

Notable youth/reserves; Adryan[79], Mbaye[76], Soumaoro[67] - He's a youth product 86-94 potential, Jese[73], Fischer[72], Morata[72], De Vries[66] - another youth 82-89 potential.

You didn't freeze? Could it be????

Last time I had a free agent contract in, so maybe it was that. Happy though as I've got some insane youth in the academy coming through.

The angle doesn't do Rooney's finish justice.

Finally unlocked trolling for goals, and it doesn't save the bloody highlight.

Has anyone gotten the Mexico or USA international job? How does world cup qualifying work or is there just none at all and USA, Mexico and New Zealand are always in, but where does the 3rd spot go for CONCACAF? Maybe that's why I haven't seen Dempsey being called out to the international team, only on friendlies.

I've had the Mexico job but they'd already qualified in 2013 not sure if that's because there wasn't a qualification period or not?

I want to make a TFC Career mode and try for the American national squad, but it's going to be lame if there are no qualifiers.

Wow when you do a career mode with an MLS team it starts you in February instead of January (like last year), so you can't do transfers until July...

Do players sometimes get called up when you have to play games? Would be a nice touch if this happened to African players in January
