troon_villan Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The servers have it an all time low tonight. Completely unable to find an opponent for a few hours now on seasons. I've never seen them so bad! Utter disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Can't quite work out what it is but I don't like this years as much. Something (or more likely lots of things) are different. A few things I have noticed though is: first touch, I'm playing with Schalke and Affelay/Farfan etc are misplacing the easiest of first touches but then playing vs Newcastle Ben Arfa controls a 40 yard crossfield lob perfectly. Also I've lost count the amount of times on my passes has hit the ref. Might just be my internet but I never seem to be able to have time to get a shot off when under pressure online. Oh and headers, I used to win EVERY header on Fifa 12 no matter what, can't seem to win any on this years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 They made the first touch way over the top. I'm playing with iniesta and his touch is still not great.. ea need to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref and Stephen Ireland are having an affair as they are constantly touching eachother. Also corners - I concede a goal via a corner every game. Used to be excellent at defending them but now I have no idea how to defend them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Getting a lot of freezes in Career mode, one of which has **** me off no end; I bought one of the "club takeovers" from the EASFC catalogue for my VVV-Venlo career. Loaded up said career, the money appeared, happy days. Then the game crashed, I had to reload to an earlier point and the money had vanished. So I went back onto EASFC, and the takeover item was still shown as "bought", with no option to re-purchase (I've a plethora of points so wouldn't have been too bothered spending 'em a second time). **** furious.

Nath182 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This years seems to be riddled with bugs. Really pissing me off now. Still can't access my FUT web app, and every time I try to access Ultimate Team on my console it requests a new secret question. EA have **** up with the launch this year, fingers crossed the bugs are resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I returned to FIFA in '08, loved 09, 10 and 11. I thought last years was a bit flawed. Sounds like this is worse. I won't be buying. I only end up playing out of compulsion in the end and not really enjoyment, there's other things to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Having played it some more today I cannot believe how flawed it is. I don't understand why EA feel they have to keep changing things and in the end just make it ten times **** worse. There was a couple of things that needed changing from last year but generally I didn't have any gripes with the gameplay. This years is just **** unreal in how bad it is. Everything from passing, first touch, heading, finishing, AI movement, AI defensive positioning etc, etc... I create a **** load of chances but they always seem to go wide or the keeper saves them then the opposition will just lump it forward play a one-two and bang it's a goal. So **** annoying. I was really good on last years and I can already see myself getting so pissed off with this years that I will hardly play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Is the VT league on Xbox only? I might just go back to Fifa 09. One of the best football games ever made. Second to PES 5 and This is Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
