The off topic thread

[Cooldude]

I do like how you have to play real actual football instead of descending the whole thing into a sprint race, although there are some campaigners online who still do that

 

[Cruyff14]

I just make my own teams and play with them, much more fun.

 

[Cooldude]

Don't understand the people who'd pay actual money in ultimate team just to buy FIFA points though, you already bloody paid for the game, why give more money to a bunch of bastards who can't even maintain proper servers

 

[Cruyff14]

People are idiots.

 

[Cooldude]

One day I will get rich off these idiots

I have never touched online FIFA, play with mates when they're over, and we even set up proper tournaments which we play over a couple of months which are pretty fun. That's all I need the game for.

That's the niche EA are marketing. Play against your mates. The ones who play online Fifa is where EA make the bonus $$$.

 

[Cruyff14]

Never been a big fan of online, grew up without it and barely play FIFA online.

Yep same. Used to prefer manager mode until they screwed with that.

Now just put my 24 fav teams into a custom season and just pick up and play from that.

I really miss 'The Lounge'.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah Lounge mode was good.

I just make my own super teams now all time Euro XI, Brazil XI, 90s XI and so on and play the computer in exhibition games.

 

[Magma]

it's almost depressing when you play fm, and then play fifa's pitiful excuse of a career mode.

 

[Cruyff14]

I need to get back into FM. Got a file with Everton going.

 

[jd2010]

Got myself back on the FM bandwagon with this Anderlecht save. Really wanted to get out of my CL group of Chelsea, CSKA and Olympiakos. That dreams over with 0 points from my first 2 games against the "weaker" 2 sides!

 

[Crafted]

Hmm... I might get PES.

Like has been mentioned before, FIFA is a sprint, not a football match. Watching videos of PES has impressed me a bit, but some of the models of the players just look... ew.

I usually don't judge a game by it's visuals, but they are just so bad to look at after playing FIFA for a long time.

 

[Crafted]

And I wish I could get into FM but it doesn't have the same appeal to me as it does to others... I'll try get back into it.

I have both.

PES plays better but it looks like something out of 1995, commentary is bad as well and the keepers are nowhere near the FIFA level. Can do some great things in that game though.

 

[Cooldude]

Back to playing non-sports games, I see. Last time EA's getting my money

 

[Cruyff14]

You should get The Last Of Us.

 

[Cooldude]

I have it, lol

My mate plays Fifa's manager mode and I keep telling him to just play FM because it takes a huge steaming hot dump on Fifa's manager mode but he doesnt listen.

Fifa's Manager Mode is so ******edly unrealistic that I literally cant play it. I refuse to. Why would you when you can play FM instead??

 

[SuperCats9]

FIFA is average these days, hasn't been the same for a few years now. Online is garbage, no lounge mode and manager mode is unrealistic and boring.

I hardly play it, only against mates and brothers.

 

[SM]

Anyone played OSM (Online Soccer Manager) it's basically a scaled down, free version of FM, pretty fun with a bunch of mates.

I sit third with Everton on 54 points behind United who are top (56) and Arsenal in second (53).

Just drew 2-2 with City after being 2-0 down. Kompany OG in 83rd minute and a 90th min Baines penalty.

Newcastle 4th, Spurs 5th, Chelsea 6th, City 7th, Liverpool 8th.

van Persie has 22 goals in 24 games, the next closes is Hazard with 12.

Into the League Cup final against Stoke after beating United in the semi.

Pretty good record against the big sides. 3-0 at home vs Chelsea, 0-0 away to City followed by 1-1 with Spurs. 1-1 against Liverpool away too. Beat Arsenal 3-2 at The Emirates and United 2-1 at home. Beat Chelsea 2-0 at the Bridge, and the aforementioned 2-2 draw with City. Pretty happy with that.

Signed D'Alessandro for 1.5m. 10 goals in 31 games with 4 assists.

What you gonna do when you lose Lukaku, Barry and Del at the end of the season.

 

[Cruyff14]

I don't play Barry much. I signed Diame.

Lukaku will be tough to replace but with money I will try and sign Mitrovic. And D'Alessandro has another year or so on his contract.
