Hurrah, it's back.



Can't wait to play the most neglected (and best) mode of FIFA.



Cue 3 months of playing before everyone's sick of each other and bugger off again.



Welcome to the Fifa 1617 iteration of Parmos FC, lets do a quick recap from last season.

Good things that happened :
We had almost a full team playing at one point.
Got to Div 1
Scored some sexy goals like these

Nothing good happened in 16... Nothing.

Bad things that happened :
FIFA 15.
Everything

Now that's out the way, let's find out what's changed horribly broken this year.

New stuff for 17

https://www.easports.com/fifa/news/2016/pro-clubs-new-features

Basically instead of the utterly stupid, score 9 goals while hopping on 1 foot, style of play to get stat boosts, they've changed it to the much more reasonable, play well and you get points in the stats for the position you play. The downside of this being that everyone in Parmos generally sucks, especially Amir. His Missing Goal stat will be 99 in about 5 games flat.

Can also customize the kit, so taking submissions on the worst possible choices please.

Origin Friend invites

Once you've added someone in the club to your friends list, you should be able to auto-join as long as they haven't broken it again. You'll then get invited to a chat room which is where most people playing will hang out. It sucks, but it's what we've got.

I switched from Xbox to pc this year since Mexico sells it for cheap. Do y'all use voice chat in the game? If I get involved we could use my mumble server if needed.

Skyfire
Jul 2, 2004

I did briefly rent a mumble server last year which we used, it really depends on how many people are stupid enough to come back to play this year. It also looks like they've added voice chat to the chat rooms since I stopped playing, but it's EA so i'm betting it sucks.

Alright just caved in and bought fifa 16, have you guys started with any games yet?

Also origin has a built in voice chat in their chatrooms, which worked ok last time we tried it. Could be worth a go perhaps.

I hope you bought it in the russian or mexican origin stores cause it's like half the price.

Bought on g2a for €38 or so, could not be bothered with the vpn fuss, and quite happy with that price at least.

What time do y'all usually play? I did a drop in match and didn't notice any lag. If the chat works fine in Origin we can use that and if not I can give out the mumble info. It's a 25 person server that usually only has 4-6 regular dudes on it every night. I can make a specific channel if we go that route

We were mostly EU timezone last year, so games started around about 7pm GMT

Probably just Origin loving up as usual. Failing that, look for Parmos FC in the club section in game and apply.

Just requested. e: there's a Palermo crest and it's marked Western Europe?

Yes, goon clubs traditionally have a palermo crest and use the pink kit, it's just a thing.

Anyway, we barely got any games going this year which is a bit disappointing, we currently have three guys in the chat room, if anyone wants to play right now it would be pretty awesome.

It was nice how the freaky own goals went our way yesterday.

When the AI CB just hammered it at the goal keeper from 20 meters out for no good reason in the final I laughed my rear end off.

Hello goons, I'm on a 24h shift right now but tomorrow will try to apply to Parmos PC crew. I'm in Europe (spaniard) and want to try to not suck more than usual. Origin ID is Guillermus. I'll see you tomorrow!

Sent you a friend request Skyfire, I have mumble and that stuff. Other goons usually hang in Camping the stairs mumble as there is plenty of space and empty channels. I'll be online the whole evening on Origin and if anyone feels like throwing a friend request, ID is the same as my SA username.

We're still playing every few nights or so, and we're all definitely sick of Knoddus Amir everyone.

The fact that every team we face seems to be all maxed stat guys is a little bit frustrating, it makes the game very unforgiving.

And accomplishments are frustrating to get so the experience isn't definately as fun as one would expect.

Whatever. If I don't give EA my yearly 40 dollar tribute, how will they stay in business? Sent Skyfire a friend request.

Pretty quiet thread.

How active is PC Parmos?

Skyfire
Jul 2, 2004

This is how the FIFA year goes for PC Parmos

Sept-Nov : People play
Dec-Feb : Everyone is sick of watching Knoddus run into a defender the exact same way for the 9th time in a game, Amir missing the easiest chances ever and Me trying to be Pirlo from right back and stop playing.
Mar-Apr : Someone says "Hey lets play again" This period lasts about 2 weeks tops.
Apr-Aug : See Dec-Feb
Aug-Sep : Random games start up to get ready for the next disappointing installment in the saga of FIFA.

It's probably worth getting on our friends lists though, there are the odd games that happen.

With the new engine I'm eager to see the new fuckery and hope that people can't just hack their PRO players. This is coming from someone that asked Amir how to do it, see that it didn't work properly and give up to play a lovely 80 rated CM.
