I want the AI to be a challenge, but it's too much of a challenge.
I played 09, 10 and 11 on legendary with ease. I've had to go down to world class on 12 and it's too hard, yet when I go to professional it's too easy.
The online gaming is shyte this year. You can't check an opponents connection before you play him unless it's an unranked game. Just played some kid with a pants connection and was 3-0 down by half time

so true was 3-1 down at half time the other day but the connection magically improved and I won 4-3 : )
Just played a game, was all over this over player then he takes a corner and the game lagged and comes back and he scores a goal with first touch. Stupid!

EA sports servers are so shocking!!!!!!!!!! Winning 2-0 game lagged out and it says something about a match report being sent off to EA, WTF? anyway I get a 3-0 loss through no fault of my own after winning 2-0. how is this fair?
If its head to head its a peer2peer connection, nothing to do with ea servers. Chances are your playing someone with a shoddy internet.
In head to head your only using EA servers when match finding.
In clubs, because theres more than two people to sync with it runs off an EA server, which are actually alot better this year. No button lag as of yet.
For the reports, its probs a good idea to play possession football, so the stats are on your side just incase
I think they have sorted a major problem which done my head in last year. When I scored in the 1st to 10th minute the oppo always quit and it didn't go down as a win for me/loss for them. Scored in the 1st minute on FIFA 12 and then the oppo quit and I got the win
Still peed of with the connection problem though. Might just stick to unranked custom games so I can see what type of connection the oppo has
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO UPDATE SQUADS????????
Can't find the option on the game.
Also, I constantly get a message along the lines of : EAS error. Something about unable to upload my stats or something along those lines. Anyone else getting this?
Loving the new tackling system. Adds a bit more skill to the art of defending.
Is it just down to the fact that I play like a true gent or are the referees very lenient? I've played 22 matches in my manager career mode and have so far only had 1 red card (hollands) and no yellows...............bizarre.
Getting a lot more into this now and used to the tactical defending. Contain needs to be used all the time, and only go in for tackles if need be. When attacking, take the time to build up the attack slowly and look for the killer pass.
I'm 7 games (9 if you count the 2 Cup games) into my career with Charlton now. I'm currently sitting 2nd, 3 points behind Sheff Wed, with 4 wins and 3 draws so far. After a couple of draws sandwiched a scrappy 1-0 away win at Stevenage, I've thumped Walsall 5-2 and Rochdale 6-0, both at home. BWP is my top scorer with 5 goals in the league and 1 in the JPT, and Morisson has hit 3 headers from Stephens' corners, 2 of them in the Walsall match. I lost 2-1 to Peterborough in the Carling Cup, but beat Shrewsbury 4-0 in the JPT.
I tried to keep it realistic and didn't play Kermorgant or Alonso until my last game, Green didn't feature in the first game, and I played the exact line up we used against Reading in the Carling Cup against Peterborough on the game. I've also loaned out Harriott, Mambo, Smith, Davisson, Popo and Warren.
The transfer deadline day is very good, giving you 10 hours with the clock stopping every hour for you to push last minute deals through.
I have also come across this on the Clio forum I use regarding settings for play in the game settings menu. These were recommended on the EA forum:
USER: Sprint 55 Acceleration 55 Pass Speed 60 Injury Frequency 55 Positioning: Run Frequency 70 Power Bar 62
CPU Sprint 55 Acceleration 55 Shot Error 55 Pass Error 63 Pass speed 55 Injury Frequency 55 Injury Severity 54 Positioning: Run Frequency 70 Positioning: Line Width 55 Positioning: Fullback Positioning 55
That's playing on Professional or World Class on Slow.
I gave up playing against the CPU very early on. It is simple what EA have done. They realised that people can use the legendary mode on fifa 10 and still win with ease. Instead of sitting down and making a harder challenge fairly for gamers, they have just made it impossible for you to play against the CPU.
Therefore I play online, CAFC are bottom of the league one supporters league! WTF! How can we have 1300 plus fans against an average of 300 per most league one clubs and still have like NO points...
Seems a decent game, not yet got the defending so tend to lose a lot but there is a good game in there. Seems that every incarnation of Fifa is 'terrible' and 'a step backwards' for a month until everyone has got used to the feel and then opinion changes once basics are mastered.
Just having a first experimental season with ManU to get to grips with how it all works then I'll be off to manage Crawley. Played a lot this weekend, my thumbs hurt...
I Find the defending easier, all too often would your players just stand by as the opposition made a run, forcing you to swap players to track them, only to then find the player you was controlling has decided to hang around by the edge of the area doing screw all. Now you can cover off players, keep goal side and force them to pass backwards, it's much more realistic.
Im considering getting this game have played the demo will probably get it soon.
I was familiar with FIFA 11.
Can someone tell me if this game is actually worth the £40 as people seem to be suggesting its a bit of a dissapointment and that there are quite alot of flaws.
A few little bugs Ive found so far in the PC version, nothing major though. Had 1 crash so far in many hours of playing so pretty good compared to last year.
Im starting to figure out which CAFC players have exceptionally good attributes. Here is Jackson with a bullet of a long-shot: (1v1 xbox live Head2Head Seasons match)
honestly, i have been playing fifa for a decade now (ya, i know... a bit dorky)... but nonetheless, this years fifa is a positive change. They changed the 'engine' of the game allowing more realistic collisions, tackles, off-the-ball jostling. defending is a bit more of a challenge, but a welcomed challenge to a seasoned fifa veteran...

And every tackle I go in for they do a magical Messi-esque turn, yet when I attack I only get to shoot from outside the area?!
Starting to really hate this game.
I nearly had you except for Hamer and that bloody goal kick. I maxed the power on that and pointed towards Solly and it rolled straight to your guy.
Still peed of with the connection problem though. Might just stick to unranked custom games so I can see what type of connection the oppo has

First game of pre-season, Hayes out for 8 weeks with a dislocated shoulder. Cry.
Haven't got Kermit in mine, and no internet connection so couldn't update squad. Gone against all my morals and signed Clinton Morrison.
Also brought in Shelvey on loan for a year

EA have messed this one up.
