FIFA 14 Thread

[9 to 5]

Were you playing with the FM 14 match engine?

I was running towards the ball then ...

At that point, I would've needed a new controller.

So I just made the mistake of browsng the EA Fifa forum. Nothing but people, presumably on losing streaks, complaining about stuff I haven't seen present in the game.

Personally, having played PES for the last month, I'm really enjoying Fifa. I think it's much more enjoyable than 13, even online where I've never really been interested. On the verge of Division 8 in FUT with a pretty average team, so not doing too badly. The same can't be said for my Man Utd career. Finding legendary really tough this year, but a lot of fun nonetheless.

Something similiar (although not nearly as ridiculously dramatic) happened to me last night. Certainly made me feel as though there is a very definite bias towards whoever is attacking in the game.

If I am not murdered by fellow Walmart shoppers we'll probably be getting this on Thanksgiving

The return of Fabio Soccerman!

[MDK]

And then his retirement two days later!

Niner sabotaging the Dragons again!

Fancy a game?

Just had my biggest online win on this game - 7-0. It'll mean I'm definitely playing Div 5 for another season. 2 games to go, and I need to win them both for promotion. Unlikely, but I'll give it a go!

Losing 3 - 0 at half time on FUT. End up winning 3 - 4. Amazing comeback.

So, in last years game I got promoted to the Premiership as Leeds, got fuck all money for it and lost interest immediately.

Maybe it'll work somewhat properly this year, I naively thought.

Got promoted, got all of 4m to spend and 20k spare wage budget. At least 4 of my players wanted 10-15k wage increases and were getting pissed off and requesting transfers because they didn't get them.

Game can fuck right off once more.

[Jimmy]

I dunno, that sounds pretty much like Leeds to me

Just read in a review that Tournament mode isn't in the next-gen versions of the game. So unless you enjoy putting 3 hours into Career mode before a ball is kicked, you might want to think twice before upgrading.

Offline is shit anyway. I hate playing the CPU.

[Baddar]

I've found that this year, with the right adjustments to sliders, it can be fun.

And the online, whilst obviously better, has its own downsides.

I played against a right cock the other day who, even though was clearly really good at the game, got a 1-0 lead then proceeded to fuck about with the ball at the back/with his GK for the rest of the game. Every time I closed him down, he'd pass it to someone else. The few times he did go forward, he turned back and held onto it again. And of course, spamming pointless skill moves when I was nowhere near him.

So yeah, both have their advantages/disadvantages.

I'm looking for a good set of those .... *cough*

Others have adjusted more than I have, but I've gone with turning the cpu pass error up from 50 to 53, and injury frequency down to 45, with injury severity up to 58. It just means whilst injuries happen less often, when they do, players are out for more than one game week.

I use the pass error at 53 on Legendary, so if you play at a lower difficulty, I'd suggest changing it by just 1. It sounds silly, but the difference between pass error 51 and 53 is quite big.

I'm pretty shit (Szumi and a couple others can attest to this) .... I have to play on Pro, at the highest this season (seems much more difficult than Pro last season).
