Yeah it’s one of the worst formations. Try 4231 narrowI'm playing 433 4 and I just keep getting carved open.
It’s the best since around fifa 13How is this game now? I haven't played a single edition since FIFA 13. I played a little of 18, and honestly, I don't miss it at all.
really?Just smashed my PS4 because of this cnut game.
One goal is all it takesTweet

Yep. At first it was the standard throwing the controller at the wall but then something happened. I pulled the back wiring out and stomped on the fecker then pulled it apart. I actually feel liberatedIt’s the best since around fifa 13

This is a good thing. It means you need skill to be able to defend manually rather than the meta being to control a CDM and let the AI do all the defending for you.I'd say the AI has been pretty bad for quite a while now but incredibly this may be the worst I can ever remember it being this year. It stands out more than ever online. If you control a central midfielder and somebody get's away from you it's quite often the center backs who are being controlled by the AI will literally just stand there oblivious to everything around them and let the player wonder through.
It's what was such a shit part about pro clubs at times too when you only had a few human players. It's like EA have put the AI on beginner for when you play online.
I agree. A month in and it’s much more enjoyable. The worst part is when you know you’re about to concede, before the attacker has even received the ball, because you’ve switched to the wrong defender.This is a good thing.

When you manage to master defending manually, it is so much more enjoyable.
I’d say my defending is very strong and I can normally beat most opponents due to being strong defensively. But it does take some practice and patience. I improved massively on defending from last year.I agree. A month in and it’s much more enjoyable.

What custom tactics?Yeah it’s one of the worst formations. Try 4231 narrow

I get 98.
Nah sorry mate nobody is convincing me it's a good thing for arguably the biggest sports game in gaming to have a horrendous AI. Like I said, it's an issue that's been in with pro clubs for years where the AI feels like it's set to beginner and so the players often stand still and do nothing.This is a good thing.

It was introduced a couple of patches back. I only experienced it during the transfer window. After that, my manager wore his usual suit. During negotiations, however, I still get some templated dude instead of my manager.Anyone else play career mode and experience a bug with the latest update where your manager is wearing a full kit (number 99) on the sidelines, rather than their suit/tracksuit etc.?
Last year I thought the AI defensively was actually decent relative to previous editions. I didn’t play any mode but Clubs last year so I can’t speak to the effect on 1v1 fifa games, but because of crossing being broken and AI defending having improved we were able to rack up a great record, because it came down to who were the better attackers.Nah sorry mate nobody is convincing me it's a good thing for arguably the biggest sports game in gaming to have a horrendous AI.

Balanced defWhat custom tactics?
I’ve had that one too pal.Anyone else play career mode and experience a bug with the latest update where your manager is wearing a full kit (number 99) on the sidelines, rather than their suit/tracksuit etc.?
How come?Ugh, hate the way that Fifa has re-defined how people refer to real positions in football as CAM and CDM.
I'll give that a go, thanks.Balanced def
4 width
4-7 depth
Balanced att
4-6 width
4 players in box
gk comes for crosses sweeper keeper
Fullbacks stay back conservative interceptions
Cdms stay back cover center
Lcam/rcam get into the box
St stay forward
Yep. When I heard people actually say “ST” as in “Martial is a crap Ess Tea” makes me throw up.Ugh, hate the way that Fifa has re-defined how people refer to real positions in football as CAM and CDM.
You''ve heard nothing yet, I expect they'll keep getting even more specific about playstyles as the years pass.Yep. When I heard people actually say “ST” as in “Martial is a crap Ess Tea” makes me throw up.
Think that’s more to do with Football Manager (FM) to be fair.Ugh, hate the way that Fifa has re-defined how people refer to real positions in football as CAM and CDM.
Why? Who the feck cares.Ugh, hate the way that Fifa has re-defined how people refer to real positions in football as CAM and CDM.
Indeed. Been having a blast playing with United on master league on 2021 even if it's not as polished as career mode on Fifa. Gameplay is so rewarding.I see all the same complaints are still knocking about. Shite gameplay and focus only on UT.
Thank god for PES.
Best way to end a losing streak is to go LVG, park the bus and conservative possession.I'm having a nightmare with this game. was doing ok, got up to div 6 on seasons then suddenly I'm shit. I've lost probably 10 games on the trot now - its like the matching algorithm isn't working for me!! Nearly smashed my controller.
I'll try that tomorrow after I've calmed down haha. Put me in a right bad mood!Best way to end a losing streak is to go LVG, park the bus and conservative possession.
I earned this the other day. Not what I expected... I was expecting a Messi, Varane at least something useful like HazardAny other ways to get XP than completing the usual objectives? I’ve almost exhausted all the realistic ones and I need 3k for the prime players pack. I think there’s another four days to the end of the season.
