Re: FIFA 12 Thread

Borini has to be one of the best players in career mode.

[Die Borussen]

is it me or if you are winning and its late in the game somewhere arround 85-90th minute you are more vulnerable defensivevly and in the mistake factor

i mean its like fifa wants the opponent to have a chance and players fail to make simple passes.. da fuq

btw i managed to stay in 1st division but had to at least draw the last game to do so, cant manage a winning streak, some opponents are very good some others beatable

[Onyx]

Yeh apparently 45 minute and 90 minute goals are common.

[Freeza]

Kaboul get higher than Dawson.

Injured 5 months, hence why Dawson is starting
Just my luck after starting a career, damiao is great though!

[McLewis]

Borini has to be one of the best players in career mode.

Scored 12 goals for me in the first half of the season. Turned around and sold him for 19m and bought Guido Marilungo for 14m, who scores a hatrick in the Coppa Italia Quarterfinal against Napoli, and then tears his calf muscle and is now out for 3 months

[dmize]

In my Leeds save, I bought Ibarbo in year 4, this guy becomes a monster. He's an 84, but basically everyone of his physical stats are 80+. Something like 95 sprint, 96 accel, 82 strength, 93 jumping. Also has 81 finishing, 90 shot power, 82 longshots and good passing, he's been beasting at CF so far(he even has good enough defensive stats to play CM). Only drawback is 2 star skills

[Onyx]

Just won the league with Roma. Had to win the last game vs Milan who were second and 2 points ahead of me at 85 points. They took the lead with Robinho, then I scored with Zaha and Bojan scored in the 87th minute.

At times Milan were dominating, since most of the side were the 2nd team, which was due to me playing extra time vs Dortmund in the Europa league final. Lost that 4-2, once again stamina being the problem.

Got a Coppa Nazionale final vs Juventus left, then looking to take one of the offers I get from another team.

[Gil]

Torres/Sturridge
Hazard/Marin Oscar/De Bruyne Mata/Walcott
Wilshere/McEachran Mikel/Romeu
Cole/Bertrand Luiz/Cahill Richards/Ivanovic Walker/Hutchinson
Hart/Courtois.

GOAT team.

[Onyx]

Just won the Coppa Nazionale final vs Juventus. DDR scored in the 88th minute to make it 4-3.

Got the following offers. Spurs, Sevilla, Stade Rennais and Bordeaux. Not sure who to choose.

[Soul]

I don't know whether I suck or FIFA12 is bullshit

I just beat Juventus 4-2 on aggregate to get to the CL semi and Arsenal 4-0 to get the Carling Cup (with my B Team)

aaaaand

then proceeded to lose 2-0 to Birmingham where I just registered ONE freaking shot, and that too, went wide. I don't know wtf is wrong lol. I changed the formation twice but they ALWAYS get the ball, and shit players like Rooney (not the Shrek one) and other unknown players 360 their way with tiki taka and always intercepts my passes

[Kick]

It's their tactics. I have the same problem against lower England teams.

How do you get around it Kick? You play in Legendary as well

Counter attack. Normally have two quick wingers and a quick CF and just play long balls to them. The rest of the team set out to defend.

[Soul]

I'll give it a try

What formation do you use mostly? I noticed that the 4-3-3 is too weak defensively against these teams, while the 4-2-3-1 is weak in attack so I go with the 4-4-2

[Kick]

Normally 4-3-3. I do work my wingers extremely hard in those matches. I make them run up and down the line at full pace for most of the match. If you have a fast agile striker try to get him to just sprint around their CB's.

[The Sanchez]

I moved to PSG

Lloris- 86
Van Del Wiel- 81
Alex- 85
Thiago Silva- 87
Maxwell- 79
Cissohko- 82
T.Motta- 83
Pastore- 84
Menez- 82
Lavezzi- 85
Ibrahimovic- 89

--------------------Lloris--------------------

GOAT Fifa side! Tika-taka Absolutely sensational.

[Kick]

Nice team. You need a better LB though.

[The Sanchez]

Nice team. You need a better LB though.

Why you... Nah, his alright. How can he improve to 79 when he is 31 years old? Sahko can play at LB though Im looking for a LB.
Btw, was in my 1st season with Spurs and I got Sandro, Ganso and Oscar. They are just . They work so well together and they were cheap. Better than anyone but then I went to PSG after 4 games...

Nah you don't suck. I play legendary too and i've had my fair share of dubious incidents. I was playing against Roma in Europa League and they ended up winning 2-1. It was 1-0 until the 85th min. that's when they get this dubious penalty that brings them to 2-0. i can't remember why the pen was dubious but anyway. Pato shoots left, i go left. My keeper touches it, very clear as daylight, but he parries the ball to the right, into his own net. I mean who parries it to the opposite side, while your hands are going with the side your body is going? HOW IS THIS POSSSIBLE EA???!!!!! Then i scored at the last min with Walcott and i was so furious that if that crappy goal hadn't occured (which it shouldn't of) this game would've ended 1-1.

Then onto the next leg. They get another penalty and Mertesacker is sent off. I go left, Pato goes left, this time, my keeper doesn't get a hand to the ball, instead he just lets the ball hit his abdomen, and it goes back to Pato, easy tap in. I couldn't believe it. He could've easily parried the ball out. It's gotten to the point where i can't save any penalties at all. Anyways so then they cross in the ball later on in the game, into the box. Gibbs is behind Pato and running to him. Song is in front of Pato and is jogging (while facing the ball) to him. Song can get a head to the ball. Gibbs cannot. So which player does the A.I select for me? (I have it set on change only on air-balls) It selects Gibbs, and Pato scores. Then i score to make it 2-1 to them. Podolski gets sent off in the 74th min. And then i score two goals to make it 2-3 and go through on away goals, 4-4.

[fatman123]

FIFA is full of terrible crap like that, a few days ago i was playing against man city and they caught me on the break and Aguero was dirbbling down the middle and i had my two CBs back pedding hoping for some other defenders to catch up, which never happened.

So once Aguero gets clsoe to the edge of the box i go for a slide tackle and get enough ball and manage to knock Aguero over so its play on and with both players on the ground my other CB goes in for the ball, except the guy i slide tackkled with got injured making the slide tackle, so my other CB falls over him, giving Aguero enough time to pick up the ball and go through and score

[The Verminator]

I was gonna lol at that. But i feel your pain bro My condolences

But when i first bought the game, i was like i like this game coz there looks to be less bulls*** goals than in fifa 11. Boy how i was wrong. I don't think i ever saw a fifa game with so much crappy goals scored by the A.I. I mean i get some go my way, but it is always equalized by the computer. The A.I went for a clearance, it comes off my player and i can take a shot just outside the box with some space. It almost goes into the goals but the keeper parried it out. And i was like oh great that's it, now something is gonna happen that'll be total BS. And so yea that's what happened. I ran behind the opposing player who was running into my box, my CB was slightly to his left. I was chasing him with Frimpong but he was never gonna catch the striker. My CB moves out of the way because it thought i had it covered when i clearly didn't. Easy goal.

I could actually write a book on all the BS goals i've conceded but of course i'm not doing that. Pretty sad to write a book about a grudge held against Fifa but i'm just saying that's how often these goals occur....
