More notes: Penalties are more like the old way, you aim and hold down B to shoot. Yellow cards are much more sane and consistant. Running full speed into someone can result in a yellow card even if you dont hit a tackle button. Serious injuries require substitution. I've seen around 3-4 in 15 matches. Expect people to bitch about this. Goalkeepers seem better overall, much less scripted.

It was like this at the beginning of fifa 17 too and they changed it in the first patch because it was awful, you'd get an injury or two basically every game and constantly be subbing. e: Just wondering, did you play weekend league in 17? If so, whereabouts did you place, will give me some more perspective on your initial thoughts etc. hopterque fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Aug 11, 2017 |

Knowing approximately the level of a player and how much they play makes a big difference reading beta thoughts imo, like some guy who has never qualified for weekend league and has played 200 games all year is gonna think in a totally different way about stuff than someone at your level.

I've seen some beta footage and the game looks slow as fucckkkkkkkkk. The good thing is that defending is much more difficult by most peoples accounts. There's a video of the new celebrations. https://streamable.com/s0occ Some definite rage quit inducers in there. I think the flute celebration would be number 1 this year but apparently dabbing is still in the game and triggers multiple teammates now.

So with the last futties player (i think?) released my squads have reached what will probably be their final form, mainly because I've only got like 150k left and I'm not gonna play or do enough to make more money at this point. Behold, and be amazed at what playing 40 games almost every weekend can get you even when you're only pretty ok: BPL squad https://www.futbin.com/17/squad/4991579 La Liga/Ligue 1 hybrid squad: https://www.futbin.com/17/squad/4459483 This one gets swapped around a bit after a game starts, I play Cavani at CAM now that I have TOTS Lacazette, with Tolliso and Sanson behind him and Nzonzi at cdm.

Seems like I'm the only one in the FUT beta. Lol suck it nerds. Game is good. I've been playing weekend league and it feels much less gimmicky than Fifa 17. You have a lot more time on the ball and because of that more playstyles/players are viable than in last years version. Defense is more manual, AI controlled offensive players also make much smarter runs which really opens things up. If you are able to pass it backwards/sideways and are able to use 3-4 passes to setup a move your attackers will generally get in exactly the positions you want them to and it feels awesome to have the game working with you instead of against you in those situations. Other thing is that every type of pass is viable depending on the situation, there's no longer the 100% failure rates some types of attacks that there used to be. Spot a midfielder making a run into the box between the two CBs? Pass it back to your CAM and then do a lobbed through ball for a clear cut chance. See your striker peeling away towards the back post as you enter the box? Cross it to him and he'll bang in the unmarked header. It really opens things up on offense; conversely, defense is much more about spotting and shutting down offensive moves rather than chasing the ball. On defense, I usually will hit the tackle button only once or twice per move. Your defenders also seem a lot more cognizant about where the ball is and will actually try to clear the ball instead of standing there like robots. Games are usually high scoring, if you mess up your opponent is likely to score. The ball is now independent from the player, it doesn't feel like the ball is constantly glued to the player "in possession." On defense dispossessing an opponent simply means getting your guy to touch the ball, the hard part now is getting your defender close enough to the attacker due to the new momentum system. Skill moves and dribbling are a bit different (less reliant on the animation and maybe a bit slower/stiffer) but you can absolutely murder defenders by timing things right and changing direction at the right time. Feedback on the beta forum is really positive as well. It seems like everyone likes the match engine, most of the complaints are about ratings and players not being at the right club etc even though it tells you like 500 times throughout the beta that the players aren't finalized.

Everything posted sounds good though I really enjoy pace and it seems that pace is still pretty nerfed. One question, are 180 no look passes from center backs not viable this year. I sure hope so.

I sure hope so. On offense I'd say that acceleration is nerfed, pace is still deadly but not as dominant. It's a lot easier to blow by people and turn on the jets 1 vs 1 and they aren't able to recover and catch up to you once you get by them. I've got Vardy and Andy Carroll up front, even big Andy can sometimes knock the ball past a defender and outpace them if I see they are flat footed. I do find myself relying a lot less on sprint overall though. On defense, pace seems to matter way less because you are usually not running at full speed anymore (if you do, the offensive player can just move like 1 foot to the side and you will go flying past them.) No look passes from the CBs still happen, but overall I'd say that passing is less accurate than in 17. The dynamic is a lot different due to the ball not sticking to people anymore, passing feels a lot more natural and freeform. The new passing reticule really helps me pick out a pass as well. If anyone ever played the old PES on the Wii it feels a lot like that. I've also noticed some absolutely diabolical touches/passes if you try to get too fancy with certain players, but that might have been a button timing issue I'm not sure. One thing that's very noticeable is defenders stepping in to intercept long passes. You know those times where the RB picks up the ball deep in his own half under pressure and then does a perfect pass to the striker 50 yards up field simply by holding A? That doesn't happen anymore, panic passes like that generally get intercepted and lead to a dangerous attacking move.

Also, scoring 3 consecutive own goals or putting down your controller causes you to forfeit now. This makes me sad because dudes passing it back to their GK and then failing to score an OG from 1 yard out was one of my favorite things in Fifa.

Things I hate: Colors are washed out. It can be difficult to distinguish teams. On top of this, there's now a white referee kit which is also sometimes active when playing vs a team with a white kit. Referees are really reluctant to give a second yellow card. Haven't seen that once. Lag is real bad. Netcode feels worse to me than last year. I thought weekend league would be better for this, but it's actually quite a bit worse. I've seen catch up lag way worse than I saw in last years game. A couple times I thought my controller had disconnected, but nope it was just Fifa playing itself for 45 seconds straight. There are stupid fire pillars all around the stadium. When you score they launch fire into the air. Looks like something a 12 year old would make in create-a-stadium mode. Weekend league, draft and seasons are all exactly the same. Still no gold cups. Opening packs feels lame. I miss the walkout delay from last year. Daily rewards are stupid and you can't see the prizes before you complete the task. Rewards for this also suck. Most of the new features are built around single player and jesus christ playing the AI sucks. Seriously who plays single player in FUT? Sad. The card aspect of FUT is exactly the same as last year. Nothing new. Best thing: People still rage message you about buying coins/fifa points...

Another new feature that's quite a bit more fleshed out than I expected is the "Champions Channel" where you can watch full replays of top matches from the past weekend league. They have some highlighted matches, but you can also go in and select anyone from the Top 100 and see a list of like 10 games that they played. The replay is the complete match and you can also watch it back at 1.5x speed.

Overall thoughts after a few hours on the Beta: Auto-motions are still a thing. Midfielders auto-lunge at balls they won't get, resulting in them being out of position. Defenders are auto-heading balls in the box, and not heading them far at all. I had this screw me over several times already. Oh loose ball in the box? Oh cool it's landing right to my defender that is in a pocket of open space, time to control it and then pass it out to my winger. Oh he's auto-heading it.. to my opponents striker.. oh and now it's goal against me. Build up play is great, however the passing is bothering me. I generally do assisted/semi for short passing, and manual for crossing/through balls. Nothing seems to do what it's supposed to. I try to pass between midfielders with the auto-pass, it instead 'leads' them, passing it into space, which soon gets intercepted. I do a pinpoint through ball, and it's just off. I thought at first it was because I was using low-gold players. But even with Turan/Isco/etc. that I packed, it's still happening. gently caress the Ref's wearing white kits. Also gently caress the colors in general. I played with the orange Netherlands kit against someone who had a very off-white/grey kit. They clashed at the game select menu, but once in game, they both looked bright off-white. Annd the ref was wearing white. So it just looked like 21 players running around in the same kit. It was quite bad. Shooting feels great. Driven shots, finesse shots, etc. The ball has a nice 'weight' to it again. I've only played FUT mode, but overall it feels very less 'gimmicky' than FIFA 17. The menus aren't as laggy as last year. They're still not as 'instant' as they could be, but it's vastly improved. LastDeadMouse posted:There are stupid fire pillars all around the stadium.

So the 10% discount code is in the game menu if you want to get the icon edition cheaper. Stacked with EA access it brings down the price to $80. Unfortunately is seems like the in game discount doesn't apply to the other editions so the Ronaldo edition is $72 with just the ea access discount applied. Since I planned on getting one of those two editions for the three day early access I'm probably just going to shell out the extra eight dollars for the Icon edition.

I'm tempted to wait a few weeks/months for the price to drop, but FUT/FIFA the first weeks/months is pure joy, as everyone sucks or has lovely teams. That experience is always fun.

Just won 8 in a row to clinch Gold 1 in WL. That's my best ever, although I suppose it's a bit easier now that 25% of the best DKO players get in too. Nevertheless pretty happy I managed to go on a win streak like that. Incremental improvements to my squads still helping I suppose.

Hooray, this and just passing are the poo poo I normally do instead of skill moves so this sounds greatquote:
I've been thrashing people recently but I think it's just because all the good players are taking a break until 18 comes out lol Every time I stop playing for a few weeks I seem a lot better when I come back though, I think just being relaxed and not caring if I win makes it a lot easier So what's the best deal on this if I want to play 3 days early? Do I have to buy the Ronaldo thing at minimum? Are there any deals on that? Preferably digital. Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Aug 25, 2017 |

Hey random question, I got bored and started playing fifa 13 recently, started two career modes but they both crash the game whenever I try to load the save. They both became unplayable during Jan of year 2. Is there a way to fix this or is the answer buy the newest edition?

Every time I've been doing a bit poo poo I seem to go on a run against easier opponents and the reverse. I don't think I'm doing anything significantly different in those matches but who knows really. As for the playing better when you're more relaxed. I get that too. I only started playing FUT in March really and felt like I've been playing catch up ever since. Now that my squads are pretty good I definitely don't care as much about my results in weekend league for example because I don't feel like I need the rewards any more. I pre ordered the Icon edition with the 10% off thing in game for the 3 days early access. Don't care about the Icon loan players but I suppose the extra jumbo premium packs will be nice to have.
