GarethRDR Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 What. THE HELL. Have they done to in-gameplay stamina? I've got players with 80+ stamina stats who can't make it 60 minutes without being completely depleted. I've had to take the injury slider down to 0 just to stop the constant sprains (ooh-err). Bringing all possible subs on is now effectively mandatory (and utterly broken as whomever I bring on fresh can just glide past knackered opponents at will regardless of the difficulty setting or gap in OVR/ability) and I've only just clocked that the stamina bar now drains when a player is on the ball regardless of what they're doing with it, up to and including standing effin' still. Essentially you're now encouraged to have less possession, no pressing whatsoever (gegenpress is a death sentence), conserve all stamina and just spend the last 20 minutes resorting to the kind of hoofball that would make Tony Pulis more rigid than a startled Cobra. Convinced it wasn't this bad before the last patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what icon I'd go for but leaning towards owen he looks very good Done a complete volte face on this. I've got 11 of 12 of this set, and I reckon I'm going to pick up six more and take Zanetti. Full backs are tricky as hell to fix and I reckon he's the only one available that is likely to still be in my first XI in seven months time. Also thought Carlos for the same reason, and add Guardiola or Nesta, but reckon it'll probably be Zanetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it we can carry the Icon Swap I's over to Icon Swap II? There looks to only be 12 you can get so far... Still undecided on who I want. The divisional rivals are infuriating with a half decent team from the leagues. Just got Ligue 1 and La Liga to go thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is that it'll be similar but on nationality rather than league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That would be good, quite enjoying the challenge. Makes FUT a bit more exciting this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in two minds. The "first owner" stuff strikes me as cynical even for this lot. In other words for the majority of players "you need to be opening packs to be able to do this".

villa4europe Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Played about 6 hours of the trial now mainly just to kill time, it's so **** bad... Not sure when fifa got so clunky, just feels awkward and unnatural and it's so easy for the opponent just to knock you off the ball, crossing is still absolutely awful too Based on the people who still talk about it I'm guessing it's all about FUT which I just dont understand, no joy in just playing it normally anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) The problem is the stuff outside of the game, the licensing, some of the player likeness, all the Premier league stuff etc is spot on* and sets a bar for other games that they can't compete with (pes) but then as soon as you kick a ball it's like urgh this is shit *some of the transfer stuff like chatting to agents is a ball ache 1 thing I can't get my head around too is maybe every 3rd game the scripted commentators lay in to arsenal I'm at home to Burnley and they start talking about arsenal's decline and how they might never get CL again Edited November 16, 2019 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUTS decent when you get into it but it's massivley pay to win which makes it frustrating. I've seen pes is decent yet again and if you have PlayStation you can get the option file which will make it a lot more authentic with the correct kits, badges etc but Microsoft won't allow it on xbox so I won't buy it as cba with the fake teams.

villa4europe Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Yep I'm the same, 2019 is free on game pass but it's unplayable because konami got so lazy with it knowing the option file thing was happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
