I play on assisted and unassisted.
It's not about the impact engine at all. Give it 10 games of a season on career mode and you'll see there's something more to it than that. As I say, I'm no conspiracy theorist, but it's absolutely blatant.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I've played plenty of offline and don't think it's scripted at all?
It's fecking annoying online and offline when the computer does something out of your control like as you're running for an interception or to keep up with a player your man sticks a foot out which obviously misses and messes you up completely. Taking the game out of your hands like that is ridiculous. But never noticed any scripting as such. Maybe different teams attack aggressively at the same point during games or something. I find it hard to believe it's unstoppable.
Anyway, just started a new manager mode with Malaga. Thought it might be fun to build a decent squad. Of course decided to sort out the attack first. Went for 433, left Ruud down the middle, bought Hulk and Nilmar to back him up. Also bought Vermaelen as a start to sorting the defence out. Thought it'd just be enough to put together a decent first season. 3 games in....Nilmar injured for 7 months. Twat.

The momentum scripting pisses me off. Both offline and online.
If you go 2 or 3 nill down, you can bet your life on it that it's going to be tough to get back in the game. Your players become weak and get pushed of the ball VERY easily, their passes are no longer accurate and so on... I know it has a realistic touch to it, but I'd prefer if they scrapped it.

I'm usually at my best when I go 2-3 goals down. Switch to all out attack and the opposition seems to turn to shit. It's too easy saying everything is scripted, part of it might be psychological.
Why does this never happen to me?
Scripting and momentum are different things. PES always had a momentum system in it from what I remember.
My favourite debate 
Yeh, going behind 2-0 or something actually makes you better. It's ideal. The opposition switch off completely and you win 3-2 minimum.
For me, the feeling of momentum is created by scripting. I refuse to believe that my defence start running into each other because of the momentum of the opposition. It's a good idea but poorly executed.

Was losing to a Rangers fan the other day 1-0 down but equalised, he then scored again bang after HT kick off to make it 2-1 but I came back to win it 5-2. Was a great game. When its like that its good because I actually deserved it and was all over him but just played someone from the uk now, he had Portugal and me United. I had 16 shots, 10 on target + hit the woodwork twice, 61% of the ball and 3 corners to his none, yet drew 2-2 because he ran through twice with Ronaldo. That is when FIFA is bull.
I do pick United a lot for obvious reasons but most UK people you play online have Barca, Real, Portugal etc. Just for one player really, they ignore the rest.

What the feck is Ultimate Team? in a nutshell? Never clicked the bastard since the day I got FIFA.
In a nut shell:
- Economy based dream team game.
- Buy players (cards) from the trade market or get them in packs (buy packs with coins or £)
- Play against other people's clubs, get advantages with high chemistry teams (train them to be in the same formation, play them in correct positions)
- Play against people in specialised tournaments for coins/packs prizes (i.e. National Tournament - Only players from one nation are allowed in your squad)
- Collect rare cards (aka 'in-forms'). These are special upgraded player cards only in packs for one week based on real life player performances.

I'm this close to breaking something
Every shot is a goal against me at the moment, am shipping goals left, right and centre

Its a BS way EA came up with of keeping people playing the game. Playing the same thing over and over to get players you could mainly have anyway if you just picked that club, its basically their 'prestige' system and us mugs fall for it.
The only benefit it has is enabling you to put that one fav player or so in your favourite club side. They should just let people choose 'dream teams' without the long winded coin/contract system.
So when you start the UT from scratch how do you get coins? All the players that are available to sign for me were in the 55-65 ratings.
Playing matches. Play a couple of tournaments with the shit your start off with, offline, then by then you should have enough to get gold players around the 75-79 rating for around 500-600coins each.
Then once you've got a team of gold players, start playing online, get more coins that way.
Just set the max price to 300 or 350 if you want hold players and you can always buy loads of gold players for that amount. Then once you build up a decent amount of coins you have to look to buy players on the cheap then sell later for more, but I think that's more difficult now since not as many people play it.
Got back in to UT couple days ago. Made a United team.
De Gea
Rafael - Rio - Vidic - Evra
IF Carrick
Valencia - Nani
Kagawa
Van Persie - Hernandez
Well, not completely United, but you know.

Sick to death of people using Anzhi at 3.5 star level. Do they not get enough enjoyment out of overpowering every other 5 star team as Real Madrid? Eto'o and Boussoufa are way too good for Swansea's defence to handle (Swansea being my current team of choice)
Being having a bash at the Euro 2012 online mode again, England are still insanely good!
Just gone through the group beating Turkey 4-1, Sweden 5-2 and Germany 6-2

Had a bit of a goal mare tonight, shots galore but no finishing! But earlier had someone quit within 30 seconds of kick off. Went through with Rooney and Casillas saved it, as soon as he had saved it he was off and gone.
I've fallen from division 2 to division 5.
Ouch! I'm sticking to the Euro 2012 DLC for the time being.
I had a record of about 80-32-50 a while back. Before starting division 5 I was then on 88-37-82.
Played someone who was Real Madrid earlier, I was United.
They had Casillas up front, Ronaldo in goal, Pepe and Ramos on the wings... basically everyone completely out of position.
Beat them 6-0. Just don't get why they'd do that?

Momentum in the game is just ridiculous at times. Beat Barca 6-3 there with Man United and I clearly had it on my side. A tired out Ferdinand easily caught a fresh Messi on the ball and just shoved him off it easily. I nearly burst out laughing myself.
This is what I've been whining about... this happened inside the space of about 5 games. Division 2.
Sorry about the large size but you can just about see the message pop up where the mug with Holland sent me a message telling me I was crap and he actually thought he hammered me the way he went on. Every few games that can happen and its always people who do skill moves on empty grass.
Seems like you either need to learn how to finish, or simply stop shooting from the halfway line. Oh, and United are shit for h2h with 5 star teams.
Nah I feel his pain. I'm tired of coming up against people who just exploit Ronaldo with Real Madrid. I had much the same problem in division 2 when I was in it.
I find Chelsea to be a much better antidote to Ronaldo and Real. Although I keep coming back to United, as much as I love them, you start out with a significant disadvantage coming up against the likes of Real and Barca.
GK is nowhere near good enough at 78. The lack of at least one quick CB is onerous, no central midfield to engineer any kind of proper moves. No secondary striker to support Rooney, Welbeck is too poor and Hernandez is only good at sprinting and finishing.

Who would be shooting from the half way line when they have about 60% and all those corners and what not. Most of my goals/chances come from around the edge of the box or inside as I pass and move. Finishing could be better 1v1 from at times I run through clean on. I just like to enjoy the game but probably should make some weird formation with all the players back for when In front then camp back and do what they do.
Just played a guy now who had Argentina and at HT when I saw his formation he had all his defenders in line with the keeper and only Messi touched the ball attack wise.
Did have a good game though v Chelsea where it was a close, cagey one with low chances for both and twice after his attacks I went straight down the side with Valencia put in crosses and scored headers with Hernandez. Felt good but not like the examples above as any could have won it.
Yeah hopefully De Gea next season irons the keeper out and agree with a CB but I throw Rio out and put Smalling in just to help with pacey counters or through balls. Midfield is fine IMO, I used passers like Carrick or Scholes with Fletcher and Anderson as an AM because of his ball control.
United is great for me on h2h, Welbeck plays like an 85 for me tbh and Hernandez is also very good. I play with Carrick/Giggs midfield but use the wings a lot. The wingers are fast as hell and always get a cross in, Rooney can shoot from absolutely anywhere and Hernandez is a great poacher. I sometimes play Rooney in midfield if I want Berbatov on too because Rooney needs to always be played
oh and Lindegaard for me is great with 1 on 1's and I limit the other teams shots from outside the box. A thing I use is that I slide tackle the opponent but I don't get the ball on purpose because that forces the opposite player to commit to a side and then I tackle him from there
That is the most frustrating thing to play against!
I do this to put pressure on the player so they're less likely to score. Same with pressing standing tackle to give them a bit of a push while they're shooting. If you're unlucky that can obviously go wrong though.
Some people do it for the whole 90 minutes, I hate that but it is great when used right
I don't quite get it?
You slide tackle, but miss the ball on purpose and get the player... isn't that like, a foul?
No you slide in close but don't touch anything, in my case it's to put the player off (the in game player, not the one playing the game obviously) which does work because it recognises pressure on the attacker. In Rele's case he does it to manipulate the direction the attacker is going in.
I'm not sure if that clears things up.
How many of you guys have won a league title in head to head seasons? I won my first the other day
