Just played my last ever FIFA 18 Ultimate Team game. 1032 games in total :nervous: 828 wins, or 80,2%. Wish I stopped on 1000 games.

Best weekend league: 35 wins. Hoping to finally reach 38 wins and top 100 in FIFA 19. Not going to spend a single $ on packs. Let’s get it on! Can’t wait for thursday

I'm switching over to the PS4 as well this year.

Love Xbox and the controller, but the games simply aren't there this generation.Can't wait to get my hands on GOW4 and Spiderman as well.

Yeah the only thing keeping me on Xbox is the fact that my mates play on it. Everyone from work plays playstation instead so I'm struggling to keep going with it tbh.

Haven't played a FIFA since Road to World Cup 98
The graphics must be unreal now, do they show the gaps in the crowd at the Etihad and all?

PS4 must be a tad easier? Beat you every time I played you. I was a steady 29-34 wins per weekend but no more on Xbox

Did you though? I’ve honestly gotten a lot better since we played last (that must’ve been FIFA 17?). Went from being a Gold 1/Elite 3 player to finish Elite 1/2 pretty much every time.

I can objectively say that xbox may be slightly more difficult but there’s a very tiny difference. Loads of great players on the PS4 too, and most pros have switched from Xbox to PS4 now that icons are on PS4 as well.

I’d love to play against you. I’m going to play the FIFA 19 EA Access pre-release on xbox, you up for a game then? :)

Anyone managed to download the demo on PS4 yet? Store seems to be broke
If you go on the PS store website on your computer you can search the demo, add it to the list then go find it in your purchased games in your library and download it through there.

Hover over the PS Store logo on dashboaord, FIFA 19 demo will appear below, clock on that.

I've played two games so far, I like the feel of it. Slower paced and you have to take your time passing it. No more ping pong with lower rated players.

Always like that for the demo and first week until they patch it and becomes the same as always... Also tbf I think the normal game is much different to Ultimate team usually anyway. Game play in FUT is just ping pong arcade style end to end football mostly.

How the feck do you turn the trainer off.
Settings, it's a while option, I've kept the movement and mechanics trainer on for now to try figuring this shooting out. Think I've got it spot on a couple times and hit the bar each time... Old school shooting working best for me still

They still haven’t fixed this fecking shit. It’s obvious Valencia is getting to the ball, why are all of my players leaving the box ffs.

If you're on balanced it will read it as hardly anyone in defence and try and even it out. I always play on attacking nowadays

I'm not joking, I've seen that 2nd paragraph word for word about every FIFA release for over 10 years.

I'm not sure how much is down to the demo being actually different or we just see what we want to believe. I'm more inclined to think it's the latter.

Long rangers are easy to score. Also did not use the double tap for shoot. Was just using the normal shooting technique.

Some things are good and fun some things are shit. Basically don’t play against the AI because it hasn’t been improved for about 5 years. The way any team retains the ball like prime Barcelona on crack despite being pressed to death always fecks me off so much.

Well done he’s 13
Scored about 5 banging volleys. They all just fly in. Thought first time shots were supposed to be harder?
