Ultimate Team 13

I'm done with this mode for a while.

Have to say I'm hating it this year.
Playing a ground passing game versus a lofted through ball spammer is a lost cause with the changes to the first touch.
There's next to no penalty for controlling a 60 yard pass over the shoulder(we'll just forget about the ridic accuracy of said passes with even a CB) while you have to contend with your players jumping over the ball(happens about 1:5 times) among other things.

Crossing has also been destroyed, too often your player does a diving header or something stupid when playing behind the defender so most lads are playing 3:5:2 or 5:3:2 and having great success packing the box with the same couple of fast defenders and then spamming lofted balls from there.
To counter these players last year I'd have crossed more(against 3 at the back) and take long shots with 5 at the back, but there's too much of a touch penalty in a crowded last 3rd.

Going to leave it until I can fill my teams with Agueros and Felipe Santana's.

There's also the added problem where your wing backs won't stay in the back 4 when switching to Defensive. I used to use this last year to help with the counter attacks but the wing backs seem to just go forward either way. By playing 3 or 5 at the back they're always leaving themselves with 3 centre's though to counter act that so I might even switch to one of those formations when I finish building proper teams.

TBH though my gameplay complaints are restricted to Ultimate Team, I'm finding the H2H far less cheap since they'll never find a club team with all the components to build a kick and chase team.
