I can't wait to play with the 4-3-3 with the false 9 in UT, strong striker with good ball control feeding the LW/RW/CMs while a High/High CDM anchors the operation, it's gonna be tasty.

It means they can't play in any formation, it's part of EA's revolutionary new "positionless football" feature

I'm up to nearly 80k coins now on UT, can't wait to actually buy the game when my loan comes in

250-coin bids are a slow and stupid way to make money anyway, get a little capital (like 10k) and just browse through players on the ultimatedb app and snap up the newly-listed way-too-low-BINs

It's a zero risk, zero thought way to turn that 10 into 12 with 2 mins of clicking. It's fine unless you're desperate to get that Ronaldo or something.
Yeah but at that point why not just buy some packs

I think Strength is the thing to abuse in this edition. I got Bony up front (94 strength, he definitely lifts) and he is a one man goal machine. Game still kinda sucks.
Bony looks very tasty, strong as hell, rocket shots, decent ball control, links up with some top strikers, a couple of good wingers, and Leon Britton, definitely considering building a hybrid around him

Yeah, it's just that I wanted to use honda (who is a monster when he is a lone CAM) and this allowed me to get a better back four, because aside from boccheti and criscito the RPL defense is rear end.
You can do that anyway in the 4-3-3(4), a Mexes-Konko-Pogba triangle on the right side is self-sustaining and Honda's only got links to the two CMs and the ST so Traore and a CSKA CM (convert one of the gold CDMs I guess) works fine.

Biabiany at RW maybe
Problem there is that with Traore and Honda this becomes your only option at LW http://www.futhead.com/14/players/5895/alan-gatagov/ and all of the other strong RPL strikers play for lovely clubs

e: did totally space out on the RW area being a problem in general though, might be best just to have a perfect chem CB-RB duo and a goalie to go with the CB, that'd work

The new patch is pretty drat nice but it seems like switching players after the opponent crosses is really broken. It always switches to your fullbacks instead of the centreback marking his attacker, loving annoying. I'm conceding a million goals.

Also this is a pretty fun and cheap squad. Jackson Martinez is a loving beast. 86 strength, 85 jumping, 82 pace with 84 finishing and 86 heading accuracy.

Only weakness is Bodmer so taking suggestions on replacements

Just got the game, played a few games of FUT, second game saw me have two shots on goal (both terrible no-hoper efforts) but win anyway after my RW got a weak shot off in the 89th minute, it pretty much slowly coasted just above the ground towards goal, and the other team's centre-back hammered it in with a diving header. I feel that kinda encapsulates the FIFA 14 experience in a nutshell tbh.

Serie A got downgraded, too. It looks like the BPL stayed about the same. Some of the prices really confuse me and i see a bunch of players who dont seem particularly great going for crazy money. Fullbacks especially seem to be overpriced this year.
Fullbacks are overpriced every year and Serie A is particularly bad for it this year because there's just so few out there: http://www.futhead.com/14/players/lbrb/gold/all/11/all/all/all/all/all/rating/table/

Is this market crash temporary from 100K packs or something? I was making a fair amount of coin mass bidding this one player (~1.5K) and reselling at higher BIN, but the market has completely tanked now. I'm left with a lot of inventory. Should I just cut my loses or will the market come back at all?
I think prices usually re-stabilise after Christmas but there's a general downward trend in non-IF prices over time so you should always be shifting your inventory ASAP anyway so idk.

Sorry, I think I mean the PC version of Fifa 11, which was back before the PC version was the exact same as the console versions so it was super terrible.
FIFA 11 PC had the same engine as the consoles.

Noooooo it did not.



It had an upgraded version of the ps2/original xbox Fifa engine, but Fifa 12 was the first year when the PC really got straight ports of the xbox 360/ps3 versions.


e: it also wasn't even close to feature complete compared to any of the console versions, it was pretty bad.
It had, at the very least, the FIFA 10 engine, which was when they brought in that whole new engine that enabled stuff like 360-degree movement. It wasn't feature-complete and it wasn't a straight port but it had the 'current-gen' (at the time) engine.
