FIFA 13

Why does the opposition online always seem to have men over?

Lads, I'm in my 3rd season with Real Madrid and I've won everything conceivable including champions league, league cups, championships etc. However I can't get any other job? Everytime I apply for them I get the standard mail in my inbox that they are looking at other candidates. Is there something I am doing wrong? The same jobs keep coming up and I keep applying but no joy.

I'm using PS3

Any help appreciated?

those players are probably very good, but you cant help but thinnk, "I could take 'em"

The thing I liked about it was there were no ultra defensive tactics...

If you mean Ultra Defensive in terms of their defensive line, well then they were both defensive and on Ultra D. If your talking about custom formations and the like though, then yeah thankfully none of the top players really bother with that.

Back around FIFA 11 and FIFA 12 I use to play quite a bit for money through the Virgin gaming website. Ive played against some of the lads that were in that tournament. They really are top quality. To be on their level you need to be getting a few hours in a day of FIFA which I was at the time.

Ive beaten a few of them and been beaten by a few, but the standard was incredible among the best players. Use to finish matches in a sweat and that was only for 10 dollars to 50 dollars a game.

Cant imagine what its like playing a match that would get you 140 grand!

In a somewhat related note, whatever happened to Storybud? He used to play for huge money on VG. Last I heard he couldnt handle the rigours of Tactical Defending

Just had two very strange games online on seasons, first one playing as Dortmund V Milan the oposition player imitiatly scores and own goal and then makes a sub and puts Niang in goal he keeps passing it to me, I score two more its 3-0 after 10 minutes and he quits.

I message him to ask what was he doing, and he responds in French F your ma.

Second game is Dortmund V Milan again (different player), he is all over me the whole game has 20 shots on goal to my 3, it finishes 2-2, he quits at full time (presumably to try get awarded the win) and I get awarded the win.

Im playing at division 3, so I shouldnt in theory be comming up against messers like this.

Got up to Division 1 there this evening.

14pts to stay there, 23 to win the title. :eek:

Yikes.

I applied to be a data reviewer for FIFA for the Irish national side. They assigned me to review Bohs and Shamrock Rovers. I've less than zero interest in either club.

I might see if they'll give me Limerick instead.

DerekDGoldfish

Id imagine the ratings for the Irish international plays are the same as at thier clubs, so asside from formation and squad choice there isnt much to do.

Im sure there would be plenty of other posters here or on the soccer forum who would be willing to review bohs or rovers if you posted the contact link.

i've just played a game that took nearly an hour to complete, it started off a great game 3 goals in the first 10 mins I scored the first then he went 2-1 up and this is where it gets messy. Despite it being a back and forth game I (unusualy) take my chances and at 40 mins its 6-2 to me. For the rest of the first half he puts the controler down and refuses to play.

In the second half for the first 15 mins he continues not to play, I dont interfere as I want the clock to run down. After my inaction when he assumes I have gone away he tries to play again and goes on the attack, I win the ball off him and make it 7-2.

Then he continually takes as long as possibly to tip off, then pauses it for as long as possible before hoofing it back to the keeper scoring and own goal and repeating the process over and over again.

It finishes up 20-2.

I wish there was a report a cry baby button.

Happened to me the other day. After it being 11-0 I decided to just get my dinner ready. Game was finished half way through which is 25 minutes later. 54-0 it finished.

Lovely !!

Guys, I'm using the ZyXEL modem at the moment (Eircom). Always a green bar when playing online but I just find it to be really sluggish/slow to respond when in-game. Tried resetting it but no change. Speed Test below if that's of any use:

Bad loser it looks like. I mean fair enough if it were 2-1 or 3-1, but you won by 5 goals meaning you had least 6 shots on target.

I do think there is a bit of scripting in the game from time to time, but not 5 goals difference.

Played one of my friends online the other night and score a cracker. Anyway of retrieving the clip?

If anyone is looking for a good 3.5 star team to play with in Seasons try Anderlecht, very good forward line of Suarez, Mbokani & Cyriac

Seriously, what is the point in quitting a game when you're losing? I'm only playing online about a month and have taken some heavy beatings (8-0 being the worst) but I have never once quit a game.

I'm fed up of going 2 up and having the other person quit. I get the 3 points but that's not the point.

If im getting beat 4+ goals I just try new skills etc. Then is a time to try out new things imo.

Tbh I always think im in a game even if 4-0 down though. I have only come back twice from that scoreline(winning 1, drawing 1) but you should never give up imo.

At end of day its just a game where you dont ever know other person and its not as if you everybody in whole world will know you got stuffed in game of Fifa.

Its a game to be enjoyed like any game really. People take it too serious imo.

Exact same as me. If I'm getting hammered then I start messing about with skills and trying different style passes etc. I can't understand quitting a game unless something comes up and you have to turn off the ps3

RossieMan

any think the standard this year is the worst yet?


division 1 is like playing a bunch of headless chickens at times.



the quitting is far worse this year than last year too.


*talking about online seasons.
