I really think EA are being a bit smarter by stacking packs this year.

If people are pulling big cards consistenly, then there will be less complaints about the paying for packs as it can be justified (if paying for packs is your thing) with the rewards gained and will reduce any chance of bans like Belgium put in place.
Did Belgium put a ban in place? Interesting. Yeah, you could right there man.

Who is the one player you guys hate coming up against the most? For me, it has to be Fekir. I was 4-0 for the evening without conceding a goal, then came up against a team with him playing in at CAM. I manage to win 3-2, but he terrorised me all match and scored both of my opponent’s goals. It just feels like he picks up the most appropriate pocket of space to feck me, every time I play him (no pun intended).

Truly, I dread coming up against him and now that I’m aware of it, I think it’s worse :lol:

Belgium have put a ban on lootbox purchases and purchasing of FIFA points. I believe there is another European country that have done the same - i'm sure there would be someone on here who could provide more info.

Looking at that team I could swear I played you in champs this morning. Did you have a 4-1 win with the last 2 goals coming in the final 10-15 minutes. 3rd goal a Socretes banger from 25 yards, near post.

If not someone is rocking the exact same team as you.
Really??:lol: I think I had a 4-1 win actually. That sounds like one of my games. What’s your team?

Timo Werner. When I see him, I am already 3-0 down!

Fekir is great to use, so I can underdtand the issues you have facing him.

Too lazy to find the answer to this but bc United and Juve etc are now licensed with PES - does that mean they are absent from FIFA?
Both teams are in the game but Juve are unlicensed. They go under a different team name, badge and stadium name but players remain the same. United are untouched (like the ball by our midfielders last night!)

I have almost a full lá luga team but with telles lb, and Douglas Costa up front. Luis Suarez at CAM. you were the one game I played that I felt completely outclassed in (if it was you).

Might have played against those players, I’m on 10 games now so it’s a bit difficult to remember. Incredible if we actually played each other!

Would be a coincidence alright but whatever bout my team, your team looks quite unique. 10 outta 10 so far?

Good to know! I'm guessing there is either an option file or patch already to restore the Juve kit and names.

Hadn’t really noticed the laggy gameplay that people have been mentioning, until this evening. Some of the button delay is shocking, like playing in treacle.

I was at 10-0 yeah, then I decided to play a bit last night since I don’t have time to play anything today. Got done real hard by EA, had two unreal losses in a row, one of which had a winning pen in a shootout go through the hands of my neuer as the icing on the cake. Both players were pretty bad too, should never have lost those games.

Currently 13-2 so have to say I’m very disappointed with that. Then again I’m not sure my team is good enough for Elite 1/top 100. 14-1 in my last 15 games with that team is impossible.

Not been playing Career Mode but tried the fixes Shark suggested and started a Salford save. Has it remained playable in your save @Shark ?
Yeah it's working fine. Nearly half way through the season and City are top of the league, with Liverpool 2nd.

Any one got a good formation? I'm mostly using 352 for 3 teams, 442 for a la liga team and 41212 for serie a. 442 is solid in this game.

Has anybody gotten robbed of XP in UT? I got to level 17 and I got disconnected out of UT. As I went back into it, the challenge it completed but now I'm back at 16 again.

Why do people do skills in the middle of the pitch when nobody is near them? I swear 90% of the people I play have ADHD.

Because the likelihood is you're playing against a child. It's actually a bit weird when you think about it.

Yeah it's done it a couple times for me, also I complete a challenge for 500xp or whatever and it only adds 300

Does every foul result in a yellow card ffs? A 50/50 shoulder to shoulder gets called a foul and a yellow :houillier:

Way more red cards this year too, both as a result of what you just outlined and straight red cards. Wonder what prompted them to change that, after years of seemingly what was the same system being implemented.

This game is stressing me out.

Tackling is almost pointless, it just bounces straight back to them every fecking time.

AI blocking/intercepting is OP. Requires no skill and is just luck.
I'm getting a bit more luck with bounces now when holding L2, still, some absolutely atrocious bounces to their players.

Mine never seem to be hanging about in the right areas.

Also the AI seems to be able to wrap their legs round someone, tackle, and pass at the same time.

Reading on EA forums they have possibly removed league sbcs now too. Why on earth would they do that? They were incredibly popular and gave people something to grind.

I already dislike the game (thats on me as others enjoy it) but theres literally no content at all. I cant even play career mode either as that's fecked beyond belief.....Worst fifa ever for me so far.

Finished with 15 wins 15 losses this WL.

Had some frustrating losses but overall happy with the end result after how much I have struggled on rivals this week.

Just bought it and it's fair to say I hate myself.

So what is it that I need to do on career mode to make it decent? Saw a @Shark post mentioned but couldn't find it. @Solius?

I use ultimate team as a sort of career mode, just do squad battles (against ai anyway) and build coins then build a team, no league as such, but it's good for earning and building!

Career mode is completely broke at the moment, EA aren’t prioritising it as it’s not the money maker for them. I started one I made it halfway into the season and Liverpool and city were in the relegation zone and Watford were winning the league.

also I saw a pretty funny tweet on somebody else’s season they shortlisted kimpembe from PSG as a transfer target and every match the guy played kimpembe would just stand in the middle of the pitch with his PSG shirt on. Even though he hadn’t actually signed him. He couldn’t control him he was just a statue,:lol:.

First impressions - meh. Couldn't wait to get out of that street game it puts you in. First proper game - meh. Didn't really enjoy it, but might when I get used to it. The graphics and animations look clunky to me when close up, even though there's some nice additions to the animations they just didn't look great in practice. Scoring felt flat. Controlling felt mushy, but that might be a getting used to it thing.

Can't really be fecked getting into Ultimate Team, but I might.

Here is it man. :)

As well as this, mess around with the sliders as Ultimate difficulty is a joke.

Guys, I’ve come up with a sort of temporary solution to the lineup bug in career mode and it’s worked so far, until/if EA patch it. Go into edit teams and basically transfer all players at the big clubs under 70 overall to ‘’free agent’’. Then when you start a new career mode don’t use updated squads and the AI will be forced to field full strength teams, cause all the youth/reserve players are removed.

Thank you mate.

Are you enjoying career mode?

I might sell mine to @esmufc07
I'm mixing it with Ultimate team so not fully dedicated to it, but yes whenever I hop onto it it's 100% playable and the table is realistic enough with this fix and some slider adjustment. City are top with Liverpool 2nd, have United in 4th at the moment.

First time in 7 years I'm actually enjoying this FIFA, yeah it's fustrating at times but gameplay wise it's more solid then the last few. Feels more fluid. The last couple of games have been a goal fest lately though. Was winning 6-1 and the guy almost came back 5-7. Plus I seem to be getting more red cards then yellow cards. I end up beating myself then the opposition. I'm still getting punished for being good. Block a wide open goal when the gk missed the ball, bounced straight back to him and he scores. They need to do something about the ball bouncing back. I do the same too and I'm not happy even scoring it myself.
