-------------------Vorm----------------
Beck---Caulker----Williams---Taylor
-------Asamoah-----Allen------------
--------------McEachran--------------
---Dyer--------------------Sinclair---
---------------Graham----------------

Bench: Smith, Verratti, Matt Phillips, Routledge, Danny Wilson, Britton, Angel Rangel.

I was first in the league after 6 games, having beaten City, Chelsea, and Arsenal away from home in world class mode

I've been thinking of getting him over the past 2 seasons.

Others may not like him but he has Great Speed,Strength,Dribbling,Skills and he has a good shot.

[Guest]

Funny thing is, I never dribble when playing FIFA. I always play with Laptops though, and dribbling is pretty hard with them.


That's the reason behind my success...I tiki-taka the other team to death....always have 75% possession

Swansea AFC

Anyone up for a game?

Anyone up for a game?

console or pc?

[vivabarca38]

PS3

[Onyx]

For PC do people use a controller or the keyboard?

I use an Xbox controller.

[Onyx]

I guess it'd be hard for people with a keyboard.

[Blue Barrett]

I can't use the keyboard, Too difficult and inconvenient for me.

[Die Borussen]

i play with keyboard..

was about buying a controller when i bought the game but i thought of giving a try with keyboard and i sticked with it

when you play with controller do you use the thumpstick to aim a shot/pass/cross?
cause with my keyboard generally i can manage only 90/180/260 degree shots.. im forced to calculate the time that i keep pressed the up/left/right/down arrow buttons to manage spesific angle shots or passes

[Blue Barrett]

I don't go through any of that. Playing with a controller gives you the console experience.

[fatman123]

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....

I've had the exact same though process so many times

If we wrote the book i rekon it'd be an international best seller

[Onyx]

The most common one being when you're trying to control the ball with the defender and Ronaldo ends up 1v1?

Or when you make a tackle inside the box, however the opposition somehow ends up 1v1 after a scramble?

[Onyx]

Negredo on career mode.

He isn't the quickest, but his positioning is good, he's strong, good on the ball and has good finishing.

[McLewis]

Picked up Cyriac from Standard Liege to replace Osvaldo. Physical beast, that one. Has scored twice in 2 games already.

[Onyx]

I just checked to see whether Willian was in the game after he was linked to Chelsea, turns out Shakhtar aren't even in the game.

[Amar]

18 pts, 1 game to go to win my 3rd title.

Winning 2-0, and the EA servers crash.

I'm not even pissed anymore, cause EA analling me at the worst times is something I've gotten used to.

[Blue Barrett]

LOOOOOOOOOL

[The Sanchez]

PSG Are pretty much playing tika-taka football averaging 69% possession every game...

[The Messiah]

Anyone here wants to get whooped...? inbox me, so I can teach you some lessons on how to play fifa

[Jonathan28]

Finally managed finish my first season with Bilbao, and I loved it, such a rollercoaster ride. Started of losing/drawing first 4 games, then came alive and found ourselves in the top half of the table. I never bothered to check the league table until matchday 37 where I realised we were 3rd lol, 21 points behind Barca but yeah.

We managed to finish 3rd on head to headd against Valencia whilst Sevilla also on the same number of points as us finished 5th, they did get ther revenge in the Cup Final though, winning 2-0 against us, I swear that match was scripted, nothing went our way that day, we hit the post 11 times, no, thats not a typo

The luckiest win ever against Barca and the 4-0 thumping we gave to arch rivals Sociedad are highlights.

Onto transfers, I sold deadwood likeTorquero and Gurpegpi and brought in young blood. Isco, Kiko, Botia and find of the century RB Mallo. I swear this dude is amazing, I played Spurs in a friendly and he had chase a loose ball race with Bale and burnt him.

[Jonathan28]

Oh, forgot to add, Bale had a 10 yard head start.

On transfer, teams went crazy. Madrid bought Pato for €53m, then sold Benzema to Man Utd (Yes!!!!, now he won't own me next season) and Di Maria to Chelsea. Then Milan bought Suarez to replace Pato, which lead to Liverpool buying Tevez, then Man City bought Ribery, which lead Bayern buying Krasic. Juventus replaced him with Renato Augusto/tus(sp?). Leverkuson then did what they do best, nothing.

[Die Borussen]

when i was playing fifa 11, in a 2 vs 2 my teammates sometimes where changing tactics ingame for example from very defensive to attacking and ultra attacking or something.. i think this exists in fifa 12 right?

what buttons exactly do you press in a controller to use it?
maybe that way can figure it out in keyboard too

[RedOranje]

Pushing left on the D-pad makes the team play more defensively. Pressing right on the D-pad sets the team to a more attacking set-up.

Pressing down on the D-pad opens a menu where you can select between your team's default style, Possession football, long-ball, and generally High Pressure.

[Ganso]

its pretty funny how milan is a rich club in fifa
