Official FIFA Soccer 14 Thread

Oh and can we not have champions league spoilers in this thread it's to discuss the video game. Got the matches DVRing.

Just like @Flyeed I get a little too excited when I'm about to score. Something like this:

A lot of my goals initially came from corners and crosses. I stopped playing for a few weeks and couldn't hit anymore crosses, lol..

I need to work on my finesse game. I'm sure if my finesse game was better I wouldn't pass as much and my scoring would increase.

^^ to be fair, dudes playing in division 10 and there's no way in telling where most of his possession is, I'm guessing a very low amount is spent in the attacking 3rd and playing passes there, otherwise dudes W/L ratio wouldn't be that bad and he'd win more than 1 corner a game. I'm not on point with my tackle stats, but seems like dude doesn't know which button is used to tackle or how to do it. I'd recommend a YT tutorial vid on that cuz .76 tackles per game is definitely too low.

I'm not ******** on dude btw, it's cool to see NTers pick up the game. Just think playing seasons isn't a smart way to hone your skills. Playing against the CPU and watching the occasional match on tv imo is much better.

Is it 11 v 11 or do you control 1 person?

.76 tackles per game is terrible if its 11 v 11

Its 11 vs 11

In the beginning I was tackling a lot and kept getting carded. I didn't know about pressing CIRCLE for push/pull or R1 for the double team so I stopped. Eventually I started figuring things out on defense. I actually prefer to out muscle a player for the ball than to tackle.

 

[elpablo21]

Dont trip Dabottom

I average .46 tackles a game

Which confuses me because I manually snatch the ball all the time

As soon as I'm done with my exam need week I'm kicking *** and taking names. It's weird but even tho Ive lost so many games I've enjoyed this game. I couldn't see myself still wanting to play Madden or 2k after losing so many and winning so little.

Dabottom dude much respect for still playing the game. I get sooo mad after losing like 2 in a row that i'll stop playing for a few days I need to learn how to lose and learn from them.

I wonder what counts as a tackle

Slide tackles only? Or pressing B for good ol hard standing tackle

 

[dabottom305]

Both sliding and standing count as tackles.

When playing online (interactive and seasons) does anyone else experience their players doing weird stuff. My players sometimes stand still, move the wrong direction, pass inaccurately, not go toward the ball when it is passed  to them, when changing players it goes to the wrong player? If so do you know what causes this?

Yeah welcome to the club fam. It's gotten worse through the years as they try to improve the AI. I tried explaining it a few pages ago and I'm starting to believe EA implements a hidden script in favor of your team or the opponents to win. Just Google "FIFA scripting" and people all over the world have the same issues.

I'll have games where my teammates constantly make runs and break down the defense and feel like my players are ball magnets winning tackle after tackle. Then there's the games where your team feels like they are in quicksand standing around or moving slowly to positions, your simple 5 yd pass just blows past em, or you can't make a tackle to save your life because if feels like your opponent is just floating around you.

If you have been playing FIFA for awhile you can tell when things are just not in your control. I'm not talking about being unlucky either because it happens in soccer and FIFA...but there are certainly situations where you feel the game is against you or just completely going your way. Theres really no fix to it but having to deal with their BS. It's all in their programming and coding. EA has publicly denied there is no such thing as scripting in FIFA but they started to ban people on their forums who tried to dissect and go further into why Online Seasons and FUT is so inconsistent. I don't play that often but I shouldn't feel like im a worse player today than I was a few years ago.

Didnt know about any of this before

Makes a some sense how some games, my players go into full incapacitated mode for no reason.

 

[dabottom305]

Wow. This explains why I've been losing so much.

 

[chicagokid23]

The worse is when you make a tackle and the ball scoots to your opponent, tackle him and the ball ends up im his possesion make another tackle akd he still retails possesion then scoots past 2 guys and scores a goal. Like cmon man

I didn't either till I looked further into it. I'm not saying I'm incredible at the game but it doesn't make sense how inconsistent the game play is and why certain things happen. It's still fun to play when youre not getting screwed. Otherwise you're sweating just trying to cross midfield.
