We played once, I was shite in that game. But then you wouldn't play me again, you fanny .

 

Cark aka @Danny really was a park the bus team though, he was a cunt to play against.

Had many games with @JoshBRFC.

In my very few games, it was definitely @Danny. He was West Ham and still parked the bus against my Rotherham ffs.

@Fusion and his hoof to Falcao still haunts me to this day.

It was a nightmare to play against him. I was literally  eating during the game against him cause he was playing with 8 defenders and 2 CM and was abusing FIFA's mechanics, full ultra defense, score a goal from a corner and then start passing the ball in defense.

I had to do it...it was the ONLY way a weak side like Atletico Madrid could face Everton...

Please excuse me whilst I go and bathe in your tears

That was a specific FIFA though, I remembe it well because I used to get battered by my cousin who would play as Aston Villa back when they had Carew, Young and Agbonlahor. I’d normally play as Everton and secure wins with defensive football and I think Yakubu up top 

In the later editions of FIFA I drifted more to teams like Dortmund and Napoli and played expansive, quick one touch stuff instead. Do have the odd formation in my head every now and then for a park the bus masterclass

@Fusion was Bolton under Fat Sam. Brutal tackles taking out your players, then hoofing it to Falcao.

Those leagues were hilarious to be honest.

HAHAHA, it's so sad reading that because it's so accurate. My tactics were literally butchering legs of enemy's key players and then using my fullbacks for longs balls. Poor Juanfran and Filipe Luis were averaging 40 long balls to Falcao per game and I had Turan and Diego Costa on the wings just to chase the long balls.

Which team did you used on that mini tournament we did with TotalFootballForum guys, I can't remember... Wasn't it West Ham or Aston Villa?

Might have been Villa with Young and Gabby

Ahhhhh the good old days. Me chilling whilst you all fight for second place.

 

It all makes sense now @Bluebird Hewitt @Carnivore Chris   complaining about defending because it’s got a bit harder to park the Cark.

I've made a transition from Jose to Pep in my playing style mate 

[Toinho]

I don’t play online much. I don’t win many. I usually dominate possession, but need to work on defending. That used to be my forte. I give away so many soft penalties on this new FIFA.

Have battled away mostly on squad battles building up a decent team for $0. But don’t really have any special item players except Ødegaard OTW (got lucky early on in the game).

My aim is to play more rivals games and enter the weekend league eventually but I really struggle for time. On a good day I can play 5/6 games but that’s only been because of holidays haha. 

[Cicero]

This Fifa feels like you have to play one way and only one way to win really. 
 

My usual possession style of play is worthless in this version.

I’ve not bothered with the Weekend League yet, it’s such a grind. Played a few rivals and built my points up slowly. But even in lockdown I would struggle and it would be an effort to play 30 games in a weekend. 

[Toinho]

Yeah even though I’d like to one day try weekend league I don’t know how people manage it haha 

[Danny]

Downloaded this again because it’s such a waste of money not to be playing it, but Jesus they haven’t fixed a thing. Defending is still bad, the player changing in key areas is still bad and your defenders actual movement to the ball or oppo is so laboured and takes forever.

Depending on the team I either batter teams 4/5-0 or get into stupid 3-3/4-4 battles, at a certain point within the area it is just not worth having a goalkeeper in goal. Game is saturated with goals it becomes like a BTEB NBA game

Going to try out PES this weekend. Heard their player career mode is lightyears ahead of FIFA

[Danny]

The more I try to play this piece of shit the more problems you come away with, the basic mechanics of the game are so off the boil. Players just stand still and don’t track back, like 2 meters away, don’t even make an attempt to get into a defensive position. Which means if you try and manually do it you lose control of the back 4. Tackling is just non existsent, so many times you put a tackle in and it’s this laboured and clunky lunge forward that apparently the computer can read with ease. I literally just put a tackle in on a player who was cruyff turning, anticipated the defender would try and take him as he came back. No, he lunges after the turn happens and is no where near the ball. Just such an inferior game to FIFA 20 which is annoying cos I don’t know how many more career modes I can do.

Have EA even acknowledged how bad the game play is? I’ve never seen so many complaints for game play for any edition of FIFA, it really is just a clunky run and shoot game.

Virtually anyone with any skill set can beat the most experienced player, bar if they are a pro. Once you learn how to play the game (essentially either ping it wide and run with your wingers or just play a simple through ball) anyone can beat anyone.

Every year the same people moan about this game. Who’s forcing you to buy it?

How is it? The PES days as a young teen are still some of the best football gaming days I’ve had.
