Previously on FIFA 14 Parmos....



Yeah, it didn't go too well. The club was left open to the public so any old idiot was allowed to join, so they all did. Games ended up being who can do the most skill moves by the corner flag with 9 strikers. Everyone gave up trying and that was that for Parmos, save for a few plucky souls who left to create a new club which brings us to....

FC Goal Devils.

Yeah the name sucked, but all the superstar skill movers were behind us, no more being stuck in Div 6 for us. We picked up a few decent pubbies along the way and after plenty of chokes, we picked up our Div 1 title.

We scored some sexy goals like this



and this



and err... this.





So with 15 now imminently upon us, it's time to be Back in Black (and Pink and White).

FIFA 15 Parmos

Parmos will be open to all, but the club itself will be locked to friends only, so if you aren't friended to someone in the club you won't be able to auto join and will be stuck waiting on someone to add you.
The main bulk of players for last year are in Euro time zone, but we usually ended up playing late enough for other timezones to join in.

People to ask for invites on Origin.

Kratlitrufen

People to send abuse to for not passing and shooting from 35 yards

Knoddus

I usually sent out chat invites from Origin to get games started, so it's worth getting one of us on the list, but as a back up and as Origin absolutely sucks for organizing things, I've also made a steam group as if you're stupid enough to play games on Origin, you've probably already got a Steam account as well.

There was actually a pretty cool but also brief revival that ended a few weeks ago and we floated around division 1 and won the top tournament 3 times in a row one night which was pretty neat.

Unfortunately I kept getting really mad (because I'm a giant pathetic nerd) and decided that while some words such as "loving pass the loving ball" and "did you know that you can also pass sideways or backwards and aren't in fact forced to move forward by a wall of lava, you fuckers" might be needed, it would be best to wait until the new game is out to get into anything like that so I kind of quit playing and I guess so did everyone else, and now here we are with the new game coming out in like 10 days. Anyway, I feel like the team is theoretically very good and even plays very well off and on but that we need some work in terms of useful things like "patience" and "vision" and other football words. Hopefully some more cool nerds get the game this year since it's ~next gen~ and poo poo, and we can play lots of games and do all the moves after we score goals against a bunch of russian teenagers.

Cheapest places I've seen FIFA 15 going so far are

cdkey.com £28 with another 5% off with a facebook like

G2A has it for £27.89

Here has it for £33 but has the 15 bonus gold packs

Everywhere else seems to be in the £35-£40 region, bit disappointing, I'm sure GMG had it for less than £25 last year.

Mister Twister
Oct 22, 2010
Yeah think GMG had it at £30 or so and you could use a 20% voucher on it, either way it is cheaper than the ~€65 it is on origin. Also really really hope that heading is a bit nerfed this version, was playing some clubs today and had a bunch of teams with 5"8 midgets score header after header.

GMG currently has it for $45 (~£28) after a 25% code which is the best deal I've seen in the US. It also comes with the FUT bonus if you care about that sort of thing.

I think that's a physical copy though, their download copy is a ridiculous £50 before discounts.

How is the online PC gaming scene with finding club matches? I'm definitely buying this but I'm choosing between playing this with friends on PS4 or PC.

It has never been a problem, league matches are found within 15 seconds in most cases, up to a minute or two when it gets late at night.

Just need to hold on to the ball a bit more. Defending seems a bit nerfed this year, so the less time you spend without the ball the better.

Mister Twister
Oct 22, 2010
It might be worth mentioning that penalties and free kicks are out of common decency given to the player who drew the foul, regardless of their position on the field.

Anyways going to be Parming it up tonight so anyone who still wants in just give add Skyfire58 or KratliTrufen on your friendslist.

And don't switch to chat half way through a match, for some reason they've changed it this year so it pauses the game. Also leads to a rather interesting bug we had last night of playing a match while everyone was using the half time spectator cam.

I 1-2 with Knod to score a nice juggle volley


Amir scores a good turn and shoot

I haven't played FIFA for four years and never played this game mode so I don't really know what I'm doing but I'd like to play with goons. Sent an Origin friend request to Skyfire (from Laridia).

I feel we are starting to gel more now, getting some good games going. Important to leave egos aside when playing, get some great pass and move plays when that happens.

I posted this in the general FIFA thread but it immediately turned into a conversation about whether you can score with long shots or something so hoping people here will know:

I'm guessing it's just drop-in's? Think it's been in for ages, definitely remember it happening in 14. Expect it to be fixed sometime never.
