I am getting used to the new passing a bit now and it seems better. I don't really see the improvement in corners/headers myself but I never had much trouble scoring them last season either way.

If the patch this and tweak it a bit like the standard 2-3 times I think it could be the best jump in quality for FIFA ever, we shall wait and see.

However, Pro Clubs is awful now it seems, at least to me. The AI players are all so low it's pathetic, I think they really want to stop the deleting and creating a new club constantly to actually have better players. My buddies and I use to roll with an ANY player but so far playing without one is the only way to not have the most terrible defense ever.

I think defending is way easier/better in this game as well. You guys must just be doing it wrong, hold B down, don't just tap it.

Also, the biggest complaint is yeah, 40 yard finesse rockets into the corner of the net like it ain't no thang. My friend and I were on a 10 game unbeaten run on Pro Clubs just us two and we almost lost to a 40 yard shot from a lovely newer pro that slammed the back of the net. After he hit that early on he just kept trying shots from distance all game (was having trouble getting close enough anyway..) but he literally came inches from it every single time and did manage to hit another late on.

lovely newer pros are 75 rated. They've got the stats to do pretty much anything game one.

75 vs the 90 or so they top out at is a huge difference and no, 75 can't really do ANYTHING... They are better than the AI but still a lot of lovely play when you are that low.

A 75 can do anything your average Prem player can do, at least. You see 40-yard rockets in league 2, so it's silly to get mad about them.

You are missing the point entirely, sure they happen, they've always happened on FIFA as well. Now though they happen far too frequently and are much too easy for an average Joe to hit, let alone someone with skill who can get it down and hit them like they are nothing.

You don't see the best long shooters in the world hitting a 40 yard screamer every match, sometimes more than once...

Arsenal. Also, when people suck at a video game you sure do.

It's funny you are trying to argue that it isn't a big deal when literally everyone in this thread has bitched about how broken and overpowered long finesse shots are in this game.

Oh whatever, marginally skilled players and their Pros should be able to hit them and nullify the point of a defense most of the time, gently caress it right? Do you work for EA?

Nice try, half the posts in this thread are complaining about pace and chipped through balls. And the other half are pissflaps saying he's not going to buy it.

Did you have an issue with long shots in the 10 games before the one you're whinging about?

07 was pretty bad but it was on a new console and yeah, just less programming. I think 10/11 Had pretty cheap angled finesse shots as well, but not from so far out. There are problems every game of course.

This problem is one of the cheapest and stupidest there is because you can't really do much to defend against them as I've said. They just blast it when they get into your third and have a considerably high chance of scoring when in reality most of those hits would be smashing a child in the stands in the face.

Played the game enough now to say, this game loving sucks.

The most annoying thing I noticed happens constantly is the keeper when making a save he doesn't hold onto, almost every single time he will parry back into play. It doesn't matter who it is, they parry it at the forwards for the other team to get tap ins. It seems very obviously scripted and probably a third of the goals in this loving terrible game come from those rebounds.

I tend to play on 'attacking' with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and I really don't play possession football but it seems like I'm always getting caught on the counters.

I haven't tried bringing a CB really far back to counter the high balls as I assumed that ruining my flat back four would leave huge gaps down the side / play people onside.

I think my biggest problem is that I need to work on shielding the ball / tricks. I'm good at passing and finishing but my dribbling leaves a lot to be desired.

Hold down B more and make sure to really press the gently caress out of a Striker running on to the ball. Unless it's like Zlatan or someone of that ilk you should be able to push them off the ball or give enough pressure for them to miss or something most of the time.

Just remember HOLD B, don't tap it like I use to and you'll actually fight for it and not fall down or lose position like a jackass.

I swear there is a huge button lag on many games online. One game your passing will be smooth and normal, the next sluggish and awful. It can't all be down to tactics. this happens even with all the big 5 star teams. Game is hosed.

Coming back to say about the lag. I lag probably 1/4 of games now because I pick a top team to make it more likely I get a good connection (I use to lag nearly every game). I almost never lose if the game isn't lagging.

I really think many people were so turned off with the game early on because of this lag. It isn't noticeable at first if you don't know what to look for, but it happens all the loving time. I have now resorted to using the "Avoid Player" feature anytime I get a game that has terrible lag. Seems to work out pretty well.

Next year if they want to keep the whole "You can't see who you are playing before the match and there is no 5 minutes to test the connection" bullshit, they should at least as the game is queuing up show you a connection latency with the obvious green/yellow/red and you can choose to connect to the opponent or not.

Of course they won't do this obvious good idea but I can hope.

It would own if you could foul the same player several times until he gets frustrated and started arguing with the ref and getting up in peoples faces and then gets a yellow card.
