Games FIFA 14 Thread

[VelvetSledge]

May as well take it here, Howard Moon.

I've only recently started playing FIFA, so is there anything about FIFA 14 that's different to 13?

 

[VelvetSledge]

I've never played FIFA, but it came free with XBox One so I should give it a go. Any tips for a first time player?

So far just been playing Forza. Shame that Watchdogs was delayed.

Play as Liverpool!
... That's all I have.

Forza is such a gorgeous game, lawdy.

14 is harder than 13, being strong is more important, lots more off the ball muscle work. Shooting feels easier tho! If I hsve any tips it's these..... When attacking try to use one touch passing to eliminate the pressure defs, try to honour your team mates runs with lofted thru balls. Use a pacy striker and they will run onto those all day long. When defending I try to take my plsyer in then Chsnge to the next closest player, effectivey you double team the opponent letting your computer player do the work with you.

And don't get addicted to ultimate team! I can't stop opening packs... It's got me by the balls, I can't stop!

too true. on the plus side, my Serie A and Russian League longshot teams were more than affordable

 

[Howard Moon]

true! you can make an 82 or 83 serie a side for 15k total i reckon, gomez is awesome for that price!

some bargains out there.. like cavani for less than 10k .. 87 rated, unstoppable in air! high workrates both ways, pity after him, ibra and falcao there isnt much else in that league...

i cbf setting up internet play but butchered it is being, very, very, very generous..!!

 

[Mercuri Rising]

What's the go? There wasn't much to **** up, it was never exactly complicated compared to FM etc...

 

[Howard Moon]

I think when you are searching players to sign you can't see all their skills and stuff, you need to scout them individually.....or something like that

yeah, it sucks..

takes the fun out of signing Free Agents as a third tier English team to improve them and moving up through the ranks

Anyone got a good novelty squad? I've just made a Brazilian longshot team where the back four alone have an average shot power of 88 ...

stopped playing fut for a while, have been playing my career pro.

first season in for melbourne heart as an 18 year old wins the golden boot with 28 goals.... asks for a transfer - Alosi says no... no wonder he got the sack

Barca, Dortmund and Villareal are sniffing round but i'll wait for an english side to pounce.

Adz shows great potential it says - then why am i only earning 700$ a week?

transfer request again.

hahah, sounds like the career mode i remember.

I got a few months of Gold for xmas...spent a couple of days apoplectic with frustration on FUT until I realised that I wasn't going to find anyone else on manual, and embraced the old arcadey semi-assisted...sigh. Completely different game!

I've had Fifa 12 (obviously for a while), which I've left at a friend's place in Phillip Island. Had the Chelsea quad managed up to I think 2025. Sold the squad, and have been playing with scouted kids/youth academy blokes in the team, which allowed the transfer budget to blow out to $2 billion. Then the next season it reset to zero!

Probably due for an upgrade anyway.

Abramovich cut and run!

Brilliant game
