Fifa 12

[arkie]

What formation is the best in FIFA anyway? Or does it always depend on team? I used to play 4-3-1-2 with Tottenham in FIFA 11.

Bought this game today, first FIFA game since '09 and World Cup 2010 (barely played).

I am going to be so crap at this game.

My UT is called "Da Bricksquad" lol

 

[RickSanchez]

My team name is Mighty Ducks, what I've used in DT and UT for years now.

I'm enjoying this game but if the AI was a bit less freakishly skillful, i'd love it. They are way too quick on their feet, the movements look a bit unrealistic. I try copy what they do a bit, the way they turn and move but when i turn the AI somehow gets a foot in and I lose the ball. I just get destroyed in the box and the AI always manages to tackle me somehow without my player getting fouled.

Now Thierry is back in Arsenal colours

Do I pretty much have to buy gold packs to build a decent side in UT?

Nah buying packs is no good imo

start with a bronze or silver team and slowly build it up by finding bargains in the auctions

eg. a team full of silver brazilians will have near perfect chemistry nd it will be easier to beat a team full of golds with less chem

buying packs is a waste, chances of getting a rare that is worth more than 5k coins are slim. the packs are just full of crap like training, contracts and coaches or whatever. such a waste of coins (assuming you arent paying by credit card)

How the heck do you delete an UT and/or start a new one?

 

[LegendakaRICHO]

hey guys. yet to get the game. thinking about going to bigw down the road to get it for 88. i have a picture of the dick smith cat. which has it for 69. would bigw check if dse has it in stock as dick smith is sold out everywhere and i went to ebgames to price match yesterday but they wouldnt do it as dse had no stock.

anyone know if bigw check? will a picture be satisfactory as i dont have a catalogue? and one more thing is there a game update when u start up the game?

 

[Puntroad]

People on Whirlpool have said that a picture of the catalogue on their smart phone was enough to price match.

Not sure if Big W will check stock, look for the laziest looking bloke... I can assure you he wont.

And Im pretty sure there was a 4MB download when I connected to XBL this morning.

Never been able to sit through more than a game in previous versions (due to my hate of soccer) But thoroughly enjoying this game xD

You can't.

You're stuck with what you've got unless you sell up everything or buy packs.

I'm a fan of buying a few packs at the beginning just to get a leg up.

 

[bok_party]

Really enjoying the game. I have Pro Evo aswell but yet to give it a chance due to work/missus time.

my username for 360 is X Hoyster X

Does anyone play on Legendary? It's freakishly hard yet I only lose by a goal or so.

No keeper on bench? Risky.

 

[Cruyff14]

In every game I never play with a keeper on the bench. In the rare occurence that my keeper gets injured, I just restart. Got Manny and Flappyhandski in the reserves though.

Gerinvho is like lightning.

For my game, I am using Brisbane Roar, planning in building up to coaching a premier league eventually. Is there any max on the amount of seasons a coach can do?

 

[RickSanchez]

Not trying to complain or anything, but crossing doesn't seem to work for me. Sometimes players kick it forward or they just dont even get in the box. Are players much worse at crossing or is it my controller? I know how to cross in previous versions, not doing anything differently.

 

[RU_]

Are you holding the left stick towards where you want to cross? I always do that and it comes off fine USUALLY.

Also, I have noticed when teams trade off how much they can drop off in terms of rating. Well. Phoenix was really good before a trade period and at the end they were useless, I watched it and they traded with the Newcastle Jets a lot and the jets have improved a ton ( I beat them by 6 goals last time, now cant score.)

That a bad thing?

It makes you look like a post whore.

I think you'll find most people are pretty average at it (myself included), so you'll be learning with everyone else.

Might as well have a keeper on the bench considering you can only make three changes per game.

I always go with a keeper, two defenders (one centre, one winger), two mids (one centre, one winger) and a striker.

Is there any way to turn off those friend activity popups?

I could give a **** that my friend just unlocked a new accomplishment for his pro.

Who is LiverSuarez? 30k profit?
I have no idea how I have -3k, I have sold like 2 cards higher than I bought them

 

[bok_party]

I do the exact same EBIAC. Gotta cover all your bases!
