Yeah, I'm sick of not being able to put overcast and night. Mine are ALWAYS at dusk and the shadows of the stadium are screwing with the field.

My bread and butter of Fifa has always been outpassing my opponent, I can move the ball very quickly and pull off slick passing moves and through balls etc. In this game I find myself missing many passes, struggling to make the final ball and I pretty much get dominated in possession in every game by the computer.

The main thing I want to ask is...which settings would be best to help me master my passing? As in (Manual or Automatic). Also, any tips would be ace.

Cheers.

I was better at defending in FIFA11 but now I'm awesome in attacking Razz

(actually no, I'm still playing semi-pro Sad

) still finding it hard getting used to tactical defending

Keep trying automatic cos the players now make intelligent runs and are much easier to control.

Does anyone find AI players to be absurdly greedy in Be A Pro mode? I'm a third of the way through a season with Chicago Fire and the forwards and other midfielders will never play a through ball or pass when I call for it, even when it would release me 1-on-1 with the keeper. It is, quite frankly, maddening.

lol... wonder why you're awesome at attacking then? haha

Can anyone seriously help me with my question though? Auto or manual?

by Guest Mon Oct 24, 2011 10:17 am

Manual is the way to go in my opinion, although I use auto for my passing and manual for my through ball and lobbed passing.

I've been meaning to implement semi passing but I just can't get that down. I just feel that auto passing still takes the proper power and placement.

I think manual passing allows you to do things you can't with auto, once you get an idea of the control, you'll be in love.

I'll try to post something better tomorrow.

SOmething similar happens in career mode when the opposition AI has the ball, and you are pressing them, they tend to move further into their own box and doing so until you give up. They rarely pass to their own team mates at times

recently updated FIFA on xbox live, Corrupted save game :/
time to start all over again... :facepalm:

by BarcaKizz Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:14 pm

OK, pretty much changed back to Auto passing and manual for the rest and it helps a lot... Maybe if I become a serious player, later I'll change to manual, but for now this is working. Still got to practice my pressing though... very frustrating if you're trying to come back and you can't even get on the ball...

EA really need to sort the servers out. Your winning in a crucial H2H game and it disconnects from the servers and gives you a loss.

Third season in career mode, Stoke have just signed Mauro Zarate and Sergio Aguero.

:facepalm:

I hate how the club you manage can't be taken over. Both Stoke & Bolton have been taken over in my career mode, it doesn't affect me because my squad is finely built.

Career mode is a big improvement but they have a lot of fine tuning that needs to be done. For one thing, loaned players should develop a bit more and if you're a player manager, you never get other player manager offers from other teams. It's annoying cuz my player's 86 and would be an asset to almost any team.

by Fenris Wed Oct 26, 2011 7:00 pm

I'm really sucky at building up attacks. Embarassed

Any tips to help me improve? I usually play with Real Madrid.

by BarcaKizz Sat Oct 29, 2011 9:04 am

Good playing with you guys today... I still really have no idea how to play in 'Be A Pro Mode' but it was fun. Hopefully do it again soon... I'll never have the time to make my player 91 lol, but I'll try to improve him... his touch is awful

by Guest Sat Oct 29, 2011 9:08 am

Try using the LT before receiving passes. The game was ok tonight, some people don't understand how to move the ball around. In the future we'll together a better group that has the same goal/understanding. I enjoyed your style, very nice vision and passing.

by BarcaKizz Sat Oct 29, 2011 9:25 am

I got progressively worse lol... I was pretty good in the first game! Scored a goal and almost the winner... then I also hit the post in the other game.

First game I had 20/21 passes... which was more than any of you Twisted Evil

When I get my pro a little better I volunteer to play the Xavi role.

Btw bro.. I'd like another head to head game some time Wink

Next time we're both online, just send me a message/invite.

How are you doing with those controls, have you figured out what works best for you?

Yeah man, I'm doing mainly automatic and beginning to boss games a little more. Its weird that against CPU its more difficult to dominate possession. Online I always win possession, but against the AI its sometimes quite even.

I got to read a manual about the Pro controls though lol.

Scored against my brother with 15 minutes to go but my player got taken out in the process. The game takes it back for my free kick and no goal Neutral

awesome refereeing.

by fatman123 Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:41 pm

ok got the game yesterday and its f*cking hard man, ive been playing on world class the whole two days and im really struggling in my manager mode with swansea, lost first game of the season 7-1 away to city, but im improving, lost 3-2 away to arsenal and drew 2-2 away to chelsea
still sure i cna boss this game if i get my defence organised, im only on 5 points from 7 games (1-2-4) but my pro is the leagues top goal scorer and he plays AM in a 4-2-1-2, so there is some hope but i thnk im gonna have to drop this difficulty to professional for a while

by FalcaoPunch Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:13 pm

I am on my way to division 1!
I have a long ways to go I'm only in division 6
But my record is not to shabby considering the low number of games I've played.

20-2-4
(2 effffin disconnects!)
