No one's stopping from posting about your sick pro club plays or who you bought in manager mode. Go crazy.

This thread does need more highlights. I've got a backlog that I've been putting off editing recently, maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Personally, my eyes glaze over when someone writes friggin 4-5 full paragraphs on when to buy and sell random rear end motherfuckers in UT. Fortunately, I can just scroll by em. But you both make a fair point. This thread sucks, and it needs more awesome pro clubs clips.

Fair warning, our version of Parmos is rife with corruption, backstabbing, and eventually it gets so crowded that the senior members just form a new club, usually after a few months.

It was all much more relaxed and care-free before we all got old and had to work all the time instead of playing all hours of the day during college/grad school.

I've played a lot of FIFA the last 10 years. I feel like I am really struggling this year.

1) My guys make a lot fewer runs, and mostly just hanging around the border to the last 1/3.

2) My 85+ pace guys gets caught by 60 pace defenders all the time, even in full sprint with a long touch of the ball. I'm not going full pace squad, but it just seems a bit ridiculous.

3) The defenders are way too good. They vacuum the ball away from attackers way to easy. They just run full speed into the player and magically gets the ball.

4) Fouls are very rarely called unless the opponent does a sliding tackle. No point in having FK specialists, since you only get to use them once in every 8'th matches.
5) Some opponents use a very weird high pressure tactic where their guys are right on top of me all the time. Whenever i passed the ball they would insta-tackle me and get the ball. Very very rarely did they miss a tackle. Seemed like the bug last year where you could press two buttons, and your guy would auto-hunt and tackle the ballcarrier. Only played like 5-8 matches of these, but they were absolutely impossible to play against. I tried using high pressure myself, but nothing i tried came close to my opponents tactics.

I get it that I probably have to change my playing style, but the game seems very weird to me this year, and I have trouble coping :(

Come back to Parms, we always make forward runs.

Always.

e: also I agree 1000% with your 4th point. Foul calls feel like they're down like 75%. At least 2-3 times per match we'll see a clear foul completely ignored.

My beef revolves around the little things like EA GameFace, a practice mode in the arena that allows a custom number of AI teammates and opponents, (multiplayer skill games would be a nice new idea) etc that have been fallen by the wayside to make room for it.

It's pretty clear that the budget will from here on be taken up by new FUT crap and whatever the next lame story mode is.

Let me opt out of FUT and pay less, or maybe let me put my coins into a FUT market mutual fund. Then when FIFA finally adds a mode that combines Pro Clubs with FUT, I can contribute them to my team's transfer budget.

You also chose to not let a fellow Parmo join in because you were 5-0 in the season? What an utter oval office move. Shameful poo poo.

Like the great Apache Geronimo once said, "The soldiers never explained to the government when an Indian was wronged, but reported the misdeeds of the Indians."

When they came for soulex, I said nothing because he was playing using pro cam.
When they came for fluos, I said nothing because I couldn't understand his accent.
When they came for me, there was only Haag left to speak.

Don't risk your spot on a team that can win a D1 title every 7 years just for my honor.

Got myself a PS4 Pro last week and will finally pick up this game. Can anyone recommend a good write-up or guide for starting FUT 17? I dabbled a bit in Fifa 15 on the PS3, but couldn't really put a sustainable team together.

Any other recommendations for Fifa resources would also be appreciated. Everything seems to be Youtube tutorials with annoying rap intros.

The answer to these questions depends entirely on whether or not you would like a market-based solution to your virtual footballing needs.

e: I skimmed your post, so it looks like you are looking for a market-based solution. In that case, I hope you like reading, because this thread is the WSJ of TAQ

Pro Clubs menu now allows you to assign set piece roles, that's pretty nice.

The trainer menu now has this extending arm with a circle at the end that goes up with your pass power, pretty sure it's indicating what manual passing would be, because the passes often don't play as poorly as some passes seem.

I haven't hosed much with menus but they look the same for settings.

Pro Clubs advancement is all hosed up now, it's a skill tree with most of the points you spend going towards raw stats, but each one ends in a skill or two, but choosing one path blocks off another. Hard to say how it plays out with only an 80 overall rating.

The best thing so far about Pro Clubs, since I haven't played a game yet (Parmos on PS4, send a request, it's the Beta, I'm not a member of a band of nutcases that takes turns flipping out every year. We don't get serious until the real game comes out. It's an abusive poly relationship), is the fact that once you figure out how your best skill choices, you can save multiple profiles so you don't have to waste as much time when you change position.
