FIFA 12

I've also given up on career mode. I've had three Liverpool ones, Skrtel and Agger apparently couldn't settle, despite being here for a number of years already, and Lucas decided that the weather was too bad. They all requested to leave.

Also, I like to sim to the part of the real season (If you get me) and that means going through two months during the transfer window when you have to reject all the fucking offers for Carragher and co and it's too much effort.

I no longer like this game.

Recommend a team for me to go in the Championship for a Cm.

Portsmouth, bring them back to the glory days in The PL.

Good Idea.

Starting division 3 in the form of my fifa life, all thanks to Athletic. Interchanging between my three central midfielders to devastating effect.

So glad Tottenham are 4.5 stars now, really beasting with them online atm.

Jus played two games with them, you're right. Four games in, 12 points.

Llorente is a bit shit, can barely dribble with him, but the team in general are sound.

You're wrong, he is exceptional in the box. For dribbling I only use him to use his strength to do 180 turns past defenders and onto the goal. His shooting cannot be faulted.

Division 2 now. 8 successive promotions.

Also played Ajax v Ajax 3 times today, happy that more are using Ajax, but getting a bit bored with it, although seen a lot of different setups, none as good as 4-2-3-1.

I love playing with them, they have many great players and I just like their custom system, classical Dutch 4-3-3

Have played Ajax-Ajax a few times and it's annoying but I still like them

The fuck is up with this game, I'm Villa and get drawn against Barca. This isn't the first team either I was Hull City and got drawn against Liverpool. So unfair.

Just back out in the first 5 minutes if that happens.

Tried using a 0-4-2-3-1 formation with an offside trap and high pressing as a little experiment. Didn't work that well. The pressing was too uneven. My fullbacks ended up defending counterattacks every time.

Is Diaby still a beast on FIFA?

Yes

86 dribbling or something like that and in my CM his dribbling grew to 90
I mean he has a great touch but he must be paying them money that he's that good. At least he's injury prone in the game.

I was thinking of getting him in UT. He's only 400 coins or something.

Also, do not score a 35 yard freekick before the 5 minute mark, it will just be wasted

Yeah I always stall around with the wall if I have first possession until like 4 minutes then I start attacking. Half the time having first possession is actually a disadvantage, because by the time 5:00 comes around your opponent probably will have stolen possession, and then they get possession first in the 2nd half.

12 shots on target vs 5 shots on target. 62% possession.

I lose 2-1. Give me a fucking break. His version of Valdez makes miracle after miracle save. Mine can't save slow rollers.

This game is so scripted it's fucking infuriating. I am now in division 4 and I've noticed the players that are hardest to beat just don't play D, they let the computer do it all.

Had to fight through a whole load of bullshit goals but I finally got promoted to division 3. With one game left I needed three points and beat some kid 3-1.

Never go five star. Better the players, the more fifa goals you concede.

Beat Tottenham and Aston Villa as Athletic in consecutive games. Quite proud considering how slow my defence is.

I've yet to lose with Chelsea, they are just so good. Especially my line up.

What's your Athletic line up? Want to see if it's different from mine.

Stick with the formation that they have on H2H and swap Iturraspe with Herrara. Works a treat with short passing.

No wonder your defence is slow then. I'm guessing you use De Marcos? Can't stand that guy, his passing is awful. I sometimes put him at LB to counter fast players like Walcott, etc though.

Iturraspe is annoying too in that he can't really dribble, but his passing is awesome and he's a tank.

As slow as my defence is, Amorebieta and Martinez are absolute tanks who cannot be passed without pace abuse. If people play as Aston Villa against me then I take my sweet time attacking just to spite them,can't stand the Agbonlawhores. If their forwards chase my defenders I go even slower.

Has CM been fixed yet?
