Mantis Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Played it all weekend and I must say it's very realistic but not very enjoyable at all.It's hardly realistic. In real life you'd at least be able to get the ball off attacking players some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Has anyone heard the bit of commentary where Clive Tyldsley asks Andy Townsend who he thought was the best player at Villa during his time there? Straight away Townsend says Paul McGrath without question. He was pure class. The Villa fans still sing songs about him, that's how highly they still regard him. Something like that anyway. There's some decent commentary on it to be fair. I got bored of hearing the repetitive commentary on past Fifa's but it's much better this time.

kurtsimonw Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Lag on Ultimate Teams is infuriating at times. Makes players like Pirlo and De Rossi pass the ball as if they played for Hereford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when FIFA commentary just used to have the basics and that was it. By the basics I just mean stuff like "great save" and no references to real life events or anything.

Kwan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Playing against the AI is horrid in this game. I know they don't want it to be easy for us but Accrington shouldn't be able to pass it around like they're Barcelona. The CPU seems more intent on playing keep away rather than playing towards the game situation. Online is a blast though. I love H2H Seasons and getting promoted and relegated but I wish they would patch up the GK exploit already. It's a tad bit annoying coming up against one of those players. I don't see what the moaning is about defending though. I defend the same way I did on FIFA 11, just with different buttons now. For those of you complaining about the 1-2 thing, stop getting sucked up and stop holding R1. I barely tap the contain button as it leaves you too exposed most of the times.

jacketspuds Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This game is fairly crap. It's impossible to score and defending is a nightmare. There's only so many more "lucky" ricochets the opposition can get before I frisbee the **** toward Gloucester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you play a Villa v SHA game Alan Smith admits he's a Villa fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Bah, you naysayers are all just scared of change he said from behind his legacy defending and refusal to play ranked online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 All of a sudden my crossing doesn't work. I run down the lines with Albrighton or N'Zogbia and when I try to cross it, every single time it goes straight into the stands. I don't know what happened. I cross the ball a few times a game and never had this issues. Now my crosses don't even stay on the field. It is really annoying because my fullbacks (especially hutton) go forward a lot on certain attacks and when I play it outwide I know I can't cross it because it'll go into the stands. I can even be facing the middle of the box from the wing and when I cross it, the ball just skies over the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted October 19, 2011 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2011 This game stops being fun when you get into a high division. Just not arsed to play it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am the 9th division now. I am having no trouble at all destroying other players. My lowest scoring game was a 6-1 game. I beat two separate players 10-0 and then when I moved up a division I played a guy with really laggy connection so I only won 6-0 but if there was no lag, it would have easily be 8-0 at least.

Kwan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Once you get up above Division 3, it becomes pretty difficult. I recommend playing 4 star teams because people tend to be egotistical pricks in the top flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
