FIFA 15 on PC, bayern munich and online seasons, rant.

red_ice

Bit of a rant here but seriously... Is every pleb on the planet playing as bayern munich? Its a load of absolute w**k.

I'm only division 7, but I have yet to play a game that isn't BM or the 1 in 10 game that would be Chelsea. If its not bs goals from Robben from near anywhere he shoots from, its a through ball from the middle of the pitch to Costa who out paces my defence in every way and just blasts it top corner every time!!

Its not even like these players are doing anything special, its just goal throw to defense, long ball into the box, costa around my defence, goal. Not even a hint of a finesse shot, not moving the ball to the left/right to bug the keeper, not slowing down to take the shot, just full power shots.

The last FIFA I played was 06 (I know right?) and I played it religiously every year until then with the lads. I've been really enjoying seasons against other mates, but random online seasons is just a pile of crap!

Is anyone else as mad as I am at this?

Try picking a team that isn't 5 stars and you won't come up against them.

I use Everton and have for years , great matchups in Seasons.

Noted, but there has to be more than 1 team thats 5 star!

I always thought it was Real people used in seasons? I play 4 star teams and I don't think I've played the same team twice yet, some great matches.

I struggle to find an opponent

Playing as St Pats clearly doesnt work

tbh, Real are grand, its BM which are complete waffle, chelsea arent too bad!

I've dropped down to 4 star, but it's really sluggish and it feels much weaker - might just be in my head tho

5 star is all about pacey 5 and 4 star skillers, bursting down the wings and doing a few dummys.

I find 4 star to be much more refreshing. Most teams have a few key players and a few mediocre players meaning that there are weaknesses in both teams that can be exploited. For example Poland have Lewandowski and they're 4 star, but they also have some very slow CBs and poor enough centre mids. So it's normally high scoring open games when I play as them. Aston Villa have Benteke, Sweden have Ibra etc. When you get used to it I think it's much more fun anyway.

Everyone on 5 star teams uses REAL, Barca, Bayern Chelsea.....what do you expect...at least Dortmund is off the radar used to be the go team for everyone and a real bore.....I usually play with my own team Leeds, Celtic and at times Everton and get a good variety of opponents

Playing Swansea now and I've moved up to the 6th division when previously I was struggling with div 9. You really do have to make better decisions with passing and its less likely you're going to be castrated for any mistake anywhere on the pitch too.

The games getting better now I've dropped to 4 star, but it would be nice to play some 5 star teams other than BM

Great to hear! I couldn't stand that one interception from Ronaldo meant I was conceding, 4 star as you say is a bit more realistic and less all or nothing.

I used to pick 5-star teams, but got sick of facing Madrid in every match. Dropped to 4-star and have had some great games, it's a much more enjoyable level. I'm enjoying playing with Palace at the moment, though they're a 3.5-star team. Keep calm and pass it to Zaha!

I just won division one with CSKA. Doumbia and musa up front, a 5 star skiller Vitinho in cam. Stick the rb Fernandes at CB because of his pace. I played 41212(2) and set my player instructions and custom tactics up to suit a fast counter attacking style. Try it out, there isn't a better 4 star team out there.

Shakhtar say hey :P

Marlos as a striker with Taison, Bernard, Douglas Costa behind him. All high 80s/90s pace and 4 or 5 star skills. Probably best I've played with. I don't know what it is about him but I can't stand playing with Musa.

And I haven't actually played with them on seasons, but my brother was saying Chile are quality on it, they've got Vidal and Sanchez so definitely could be in with a shout too.
