Re: FIFA 12 Thread

[McLewis]

McGeady turn is my favorite skill to use. Also fond of chopping left and right.

[FennecFox7]

I do a bunch honestly, it just depends where I am on the field.

Got to div 2

[RedOranje]

Fake shots and kick-and-run are about all I can manage on a regular basis. Whenever I try anything more complicated than those I tend to lose the ball. But I can generally win without skill moves so I'm not bothered by it.

[vivabarca38]

Fake shot sucks mostly in this game.In Fifa 11 however it was awesome.Worked every time.As for skill moves I can do all of them except about five.My favourite is the overhead Flick or something.

[fatman123]

the only bad thing about fake shots is you cant use a fake shot a your first touch

Wow if YOU got to division 2 then standards must have dropped

[The Sanchez]

Not a fan of tricks though when air buy a bloke like Dinho, I sometimes use them as it would be an issult if I didn't... Pasaing FTW

[Kick]

I hate that, The amount of times I want do but can't drives me insane!

[Soul]

IMO fake shots are more effective when playing against friends who'll tackle too quickly.. don't have much luck against CPU opponents

The dude who won the national FIFA12 championship twice here is a beast with skill moves. Ronaldo and Di Maria owning anyone that comes in the way with 5 star skills

[JohnnyJayy2]

Not sure how many of you play ultimate team, but the amount of people using the insanely overpowered David Luiz and Gabby 'best striker in the world according to EA' Agbonlahor is driving me insane.

[Onyx]

Yeh apparently they're going to tone down the speedy players.

Plans
Keeping Xavi, Iniesta, Messi
Herrera was bought in case of midfield fatigue and a replacement for Xavi as he is getting old...
Bought Neymar because Messi wanted to leave... though he chose not to so I wasted 95m on a person who fatigues heaps...
Don't know who to buy and sell now. Thoughts?

And that is why I dont play online.

[The Sanchez]

Is it just me or does every team have 200m to spend every year?

[McLewis]

FFS, lost for the 2nd time in my final match in D4 that would promote me to D3. Both times it rains. I hate playing in frakking rain on this game. Players with 85+ Acceleration/Sprint sprint speed run like they only have 70. Absolutely terrible. Single worst condition to play in on this game.

[Blue Barrett]

Is it just me or does every team have 200m to spend every year?

Only the big teams can have that much every year.


Also, why isn't it possible for a rich owner to take over your club if you're showing good signs of improvement?

I guess your right as Im playing with Barca...

[vivabarca38]

a coworker of mine has a sick team!!!
He's got over like 1,500,000 coins.

I'm just like damnnnnnn

[Abramovich]

Getting the hang of this FUT stuff, didn't bother it in the older games but I quite like it. Getting the coins is annoying as feck, especially since I can't play online yet .

[Amar]

I'm liking FUT as well...but I've gotten absolutely raped by some teams online.

I had a nice 11 of all Italians but I've decided to switch to a more English side, going to take a while to accumulate a shitload of coins. Had 40 Microsoft points just lying about, so I threw it at a Gold pack and got a gold Kompany

Guys got any strategies on how to pick up coins fast? Playing hte computer is ZzZz, and online I get raped ffs.

Its gunna be tough to make coins until FUT13 just because the market is so dead right now. My advice: start early on FUT13, if you have coins early buy some of the popular players which will be cheap to start. As more and more people get coins, their prices will rise. And more often than not in-form cards rise in price, I use them like investments sell them weeks later for 3 or 4x the profit. Then there's also 59th minute. Of course all of this only works well when the markets active.

[McLewis]

Still in D4 lol. I think this is the 5th season in a row that I've come up on 13 points with 2 games left in the season, needing only a win to get to D3 and I end up losing both games . I play exclusively with Milan, but it's generally always Madrid and Man City that appear to have my number. Don't think I've won against either club in almost 10 games now. I beat everyone else though. Undefeated against Yanited.

Still a supreme bottler though lol

[Abramovich]

I'll start FUT13 early then, my gold packs are rubbish best I have gotten is Evra. I go for the 7,500 points one and I always get players under 80 rating.........................................................

come on you are better than that!!

[McLewis]

Oh I know I am....I played well in both games, but couldn't finish and got punished on the defensive mistakes.

Furthest I've gotten is D1, but only managed 5 points total

[Onyx]

I notice defending is better in division 1 than in 2.
