Re: FIFA 12 Thread

[Ganso]

its pretty funny how milan is a rich club in fifa

[Die Borussen]

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.

thanx

Lol Ganso I knwo what you mean. Teams are loaded in FIFA, even the likes of Valencia. Before I decided to stay a second year at Bilbao I was offered the Valencia job and they had over €150m to spend, for a few seconds I actually thought about jumping ship since I only had €25m to spend, but I realised I still had a project to do at Bilbao. All I can do is hope an investor comes to Bilbao lmao

Milan also just signed Neymar and Lucas btw, they havent even had an investor come into the club. Juventus also just signed Rossi. Must be the Champions League money, looking foward to playing in the European Cup even more now if theres crazy money involved. But facing the likes of Neymar, Hazard, Rooney and Co. isn't gonna be fun -_-". Board wants me to reach last 8, I just lol'ed. My team may get out of the group, but unless we get an easy draw, were going home.

[fatman123]

its stupid how much money the CPU clubs have in FIFA, even the mid-table teams can spend crazy amounts of money, ie newcastle have Ramires, Carrick, Ballotelli, Lopez and a great GK whose name escapes me and my largest transfer is around 25mil and the only reason i could do that was because Shaquiri handed in a transfer request

[Blue Barrett]

^The clubs experience takeover by rich owners.....although I think it happens way too much.

[Onyx]

Do the clubs you play as ever get a takeover?

[Blue Barrett]

^Nope


At least not in the 4 different career modes I've finished.

[Onyx]

Career mode ends after 15 seasons? Never played that many.

[Blue Barrett]

Yeah I think it was 15. I just simulated the matches after a while and only played the finals and some important matches I needed to win.

[Onyx]

What's it say at the end?

[Blue Barrett]

It ends in the 2025/2026 season IIRC. Can quite remember what exactly it said as its been over 6 months since I played my last one. I think you just get a message from the board and that's it.

[Ganso]

So tired of the same bs over and over again.tackle just so that the ball can go back to he opponent and then concede,cr running the entire field wih no one being able to catch him,balls going back instead of forward when you clear them etc

Dafuq,bayern just offered 52M for Pastoreh.the guy isn't even that good,sold him and got no one other than shaqiri to replace him....on loan I will probably spend it all on a silly player before i move to another club.quick question, if i qualify psg and then move on,let's say to arsenal,will I still play cl?

If Arsenal also qualified for the CL, then yes

[Kick]

I have only completed manager mode once. On fifa 10. It was after 15 seasons and was rather disapointing as it only has a newspaper article saying I quit. Didn't sim a match either.

[Jonathan28]

Seriously, whats up with the scripting in the game? I thought it was only a PES problem, but its in FIFA now. Every game I play the AI has these moments where they just play a ball through and my centrebacks part like the red sea and then they have a shot on goal.

Rubbish teams who you've been smashing suddenly play like Barca in the last 20mins and they outmuscle you, outpace you, get every loose ball and you can't do jack. Oh, and if you concede a corner in the last mins of the game, the opposition awayd score, Messi outjumped Fernado Llorente

Just like PES, i'll just have to put on the big boy pants and deal with it though.

[Onyx]

Yeh usually during the last 15 minutes the AI go ultra attacking.

[Gil]

Play tikinaccio at the end of games if they go all out attack.

[Onyx]

Negredo.

Wasn't fully fit to start vs Valencia, so had to play Diawara. Valencia were winning 3-1 at one point. Negredo came on and scored 4 goals, 1 in the last minute to make it 4-3.

24 goals in the league and it's December.

[Jonathan28]

Yeah, i'll just start passing the ball between my defenders in the last 20mins from now on.

Transfer deadline day, managed to get Asenjo from Atletico Madrid for €3.9m, taking my total spending to €38.8m in the window spent on Isco, Mallo(), Asenjo, Botia and Kiko. Made €16m on sales to help fund the purchases, very much looking foward to the CL, still can't believe we manged to finish 3rd lol. Average age of my Bilbao is 24.5, with only Iraola and Iraizoz 30+.

Crazy transfer round up!

Aguero to Bayern
Gervinho to Valencia
Ibrahimovic to Marseille
Renato Augusto to Valencia
Pato to Madrid
Suarez to AC Milan
Tevez to Inter
Rossi to Juventus
Benzema to Man Utd
Di Maria to Chelsea

Combined transfer fees?

€358m

Vidal almost went to Sevilla and Rami almost signed for Liverpool. Fun times.

[McLewis]

Tied Valencia 4-4 in the first leg of the Euro League Quarterfinals. Cisse with a brace, Soldado and Rami with the others. Bojan, Marilungo, Bradley and Viviani scored for me.

Absolute thriller. Just trading punches back and forth all game.

[Jonathan28]

That reminds me if the Champions Cup group game I had vs Spurs an hour ago. I came into the game with the intention of playing on the counter, and I thought Spurs would do the same, but no, they came straight out of the blocks, they were super aggresive and were 2-0 up in 10mins, then I just said "screw it", changed mentality to ultra attacking and went for it.

Managed to win the game 5-4 with a winning penalty from Llorente in the 93rd minute, stunning game.

[Onyx]

Last minute goals.

[McLewis]

Haha yeah...Viviani's came in the 89th minute. Beautiful cross from De Rossi for the assist.

[Jonathan28]

McLewis what was your reaction? As soon as Llorentes penalty went in I went mental, running around the house like a mad man.
