FIFA 13

miralize

every second player now passes the ball around after going 1-0 up... infuriating

So myself and the brother play FIFA all the time, except he is absolutely hammering me at the moment and I've no idea what to do, I'm not far off smashing the TV and PS3, have already smacked the controller off my head and punched the **** out of all teddy bears in the vicinity.

Anyone got any tips on what to do? Basically even when I press 'X' and try and mark his players he seems to have perfected tapping analogue stick to move directions constantly and rounding my players, it's killing me and he just beat me 5-0 with England vs Holland. Help please!!

Maybe you're just rubbish!

You need to practice more, do a FIFA marathon some day and play FIFA Seasons games. Playing against the computer doesn't compare to playing an actual person.

It's funny, I've always been quite good at FIFA but for some reason he has found a weakness in my style and has exploited it, I'm looking to cover that exploit and maybe exploit his.

Let the cpu player contain him while you either double up with yours or cover the space

Use LT to stand him up and he wont be able to get past you with the flick as often.

Use RB/R1 to call a second defender to go towards the player with the ball. This will leave you to be able to run in behind and cover the area or to track his players running in behind.

You could also go ultra defensive if all else fails and try to catch him on the break.

Its a formation, its basically what Spain and Barca play.

Quite good if you're a passer and like to build up to goals properly, and not just use the wings or balls over the top.

Anyone finding it completely unplayable online the last few days? Seems like once again EA didn't bother to provision more servers for the christmas demand.

When you enter the online pass on one account, will you be able to play online on all accounts, or is it just for one account only?

old news.
one of the best to sign.
Finishing gets up to 98, higher than Messi gets to.
Has massive speed, good at heading, the ultimate Striker.

Got him up to 90 in my Career, started ahead of better rated strikers because he was so good.
Great UT player to have too.

best thing to ever come out of Gabon.

Lamela is also great
some dribbler

If you like dribblers Insigne from Napoli is the way to go.

only negative is he's very small, but hes basically a better Miccoli or Di Natalie.

Is there a way to stop your attacker running for the ball when he is clearly offside? On Xbox.

Yeah I have Insigne in my team. I prefer Lamela he is quality. Deulofeu from Barca B is an effective player can be got very cheap and has great. Jese Rodriguez from RM Castilla is another worth considering if funds are low

Yeah, it's some combination of 3 of the 4 shoulder buttons. I just hold them all. If you google FIFA super cancel you'll find it.

Lamela doesn't improve enough for me really, had him and got rid of him in a 6 month period.
Jovetic is another who is decent, but not spectacular.

If fifa career didn't freeze so much i wouldn't even like to see the team i'd have.
in the year 2020 and have Messi, Hazard and Neymar all up front.
El Shaarawy is wasted in midfield.

Then midfielders are all quite obvious who becomes good, with a few like Adyran worth buying.

SantryRed

Currently on PS3 and it won't let me play as there is a problem with the online squad check. Anyone know how I fix it?

Press LT & RT together to cancel an action.

Made it into division 1 tonight, won every division on my first attempt. Sick of playing against Brazil though

are you using the same team?

that tend's to happen.


It was much harder to get to higher divisions at the start, its quite easy now.

This might sound crazy but...

Why is it so hard to play against a online appontant when they're obviously not in control.

Just played a guy there where he didn't start playing well into the game. Up until then I couldn't score against him, his player made tackles. I have away easy fouls. When he did return I have away a peno which he scored. I managed to claw one back and it ended 1-1. But I would have thought I'd get a few goals with him not there.

its all about technique. If you pass by them you'll score many, many goals.

My record is 26

i prefer to play the people, its so boring otherwise.

Flase 9 formation is exactly that........ Your centre forward drops back into midfield and it's your LW and RW who atack down the wings / or tic tac passing in midfield with a diagonal lobbed ball out to the wingers / or your "Number 9" plays through balls to the over lapping wingers.

No it's not, its more a centralised formation where the striker comes to midfield and sets up attacks.

Messi would be a number 9 who plays this way.

the wingers come in field more, and play as stikers basically.

Suits Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain i think.
