FIFA Thread

A thread for discussing the FIFA series.

13 better be worth the money or I'll wait for a price drop

Which reminds me, I'm supposed to be reviewing the data for it with Marty at some point.

'12 was quite the dungheap.

I might start a Serie A CM, though.

I never played a fifa so little as I did 12

I've made Career modes with Milan and Napoli and so easily won everything so I decided to do a Wolves CM with on the hardest difficulty. Was fun as fuck. Finished 3rd in the league then won the CL next year haha. Think I got bored of it before finishing the league, was like 2nd or first

This. They made it so easy for beginners, you can literally score a finesse shot from anywhere.

Yep. Clubs was the only reason I played and even that got old fast.

Shitty teams know that all they need to do is put a midget up front, finesse from right outside the box, diagonal of goal. Hopefully 13 has improved and balanced VPs and the AI for clubs should all be 85. Otherwise, it's like watching Cronaldo trying to play in a team full of Brambles.

Agree with that, that disappointed me

I didn't even buy this game. Glad I passed.

It's good that you did.

It was by far one of the far the worst FIFA I've played since 07.

I probably won't buy 13 either, since I won't have my PS3 with me.

Yeah, August.

Where do you live??

13 sucks pretty hard

I still play clubs most nights although its getting to the stage where we just have a laugh instead of really trying to win and make the club very good. We're actually 4th for most cups won I think

career is okay but pretty boring IMO. I had a good one with Milan that got corrupt, I got mad and never played cm again.

UT - sucks ass, pace pace pace

H2HS, easy, barely lost a game up until division 3 then lost a few got mad and never played it again. The fact that EVERYONE is Real Madrid makes it very boring as well

I always got stuck against Real, Barca, and Bayern

I've played the UEFA DLC for some time now and I think I can give my overview on it if anyone was actually thinking of getting it.
First off, it's not worth the purchase, adds almost nothing except for the smaller nations of Europe, which would actually be worth the money... if they weren't all fucking full of generic randomly generated players. Can't even play the group stages.
The new mode, Exibithion or whatever, is quite interesting and COULD be an enjoyable mode... but it gets fucking boring. You have to play the same team 3 times in order to get a reserve, sub and starting XI player but you can't even choose it your own, it just gives one randomly and more often than not, it gives you a useless player or a player for a position that is overcrowded as it is. Best I've got so far was Eduardo from Croatia but others have been pretty fucking useless. It also uses some gay system where you can't challenge any team in your group but you have to have 2 nations linked up via roads to challenge them. Atm I have completed all of my group except for Greece and now have to play either Malta or Latvia again for the 4th time to challenge Greece. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, happy to answer. Just remember, not worth your moneyz. DLC is a good idea for the Euros and WC, instead of a new game but they need to either offer some more next time or lower the price.

yeah, seemed like a complete waste of money. I told people on EA not to get it and now I can't help but laugh at their problems.


started a career w/ Milan on fifa. Trying to make it realistic so not gonna buy/sell/recall anyone until the second season. I'm playing on World Class, it's going decent so far. Ibra and Pato are a monstrous partnership for me, I do not like using Cassano and Robinho however. Catania are pricks though. Fuck them and their 5-at-the-back!

Yeah, when I saw it wouldn't be a standalone game, I figured it wouldn't be worth it. That's what happens when you have Lazy Ass Rutter running the show. World Cup South Africa and FIFA08 are still my favourite FIFA games. I'd play 08 if it wasn't stolen. I still have WCSA, though.

scoring a header on FIFA 08 seemed impossible..

I was a pro at it

I scored them with Amauri.

I think that's why I'm so good at headers in the FIFA titles after 08. If you could score with a header in those, the rest are a cake walk.
