Which is why we all get frustrated when we're not winning? We're all as nerdy as each other so don't start that argument.

I know it's frustrating when you lose, but it's not like you go and cry about it like John Terry, it's not that serious. I'm not going to say "OMG noes!!! i got pwnzowrded on fifa my ranking is goin down :( :( :(" if I lose.

I play to enjoy the game and get the most out of it - How is doing this getting anything out of the game:
Pick 5 star team
Put the fastest player on the wing
When not in possession of the ball, hold A+B (X+O on PS) and slide tackle when the controlled player is near the opponent.
When in possession of the ball, get the ball to the fastest player, leg it. Cutback for a tap in, goal.
Repeat.

Why in a game like FIFA which can have such diverse and different gameplay in each match play one-dimentional tactics just to win?

I only play boring tactics like avram grant tactics when i know i dont have much chance winning in the game so if i know i can defend well i might get a few chances upront and have to slot my chances.
 
95% of the time they select Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter, AC Milan, Barca, Madrid etc. so I just leave the game.

It's still a fun game against those idiots but it is much more realistic and enjoyable playing against people who try to play it like proper football, that's why I don't play many ranked matches, people think the "skill level" or "ranking" you have on a game makes a difference to anything so they play all out to improve both of them instead of playing the game properly. Pointless.
I kinda agree when its obvious they change to Barca when they obviously don't support them. However, I support United, I have more fun when playing with United, so I'll use them in online games, hey, me and Will have had some cracking United vs Arsenal games (5-3 eh?:p). I agree though that they could introduce some kind of search to give people the games they want.

Onto the manual or assisted debate. I use assisted, I haven't got the time to go and spend hours practising using manual. I find it fun playing assisted, and people should be able to play the game whichever way they want. Again though, a search could be introduced.
 
I love you Phil.
I love you Matthew.

Just to describe more, I'm not one of those people that are bothered if they lose, I just wanna play to have fun, but I have fun by playing as my team.

It's a video game, EA won't come round your house and deliver a huge trophy and cash prize if you win some ranked matches :rolleyes:.

Taking video games so seriously is just sad, they are for fun and you have to be a complete nerd to think winning in them actually means something.
What is so special about "points" or your online "ranking" that you have to play one-dimensional boring tactics just so that you can win? Nothing.

Did you ever think that not everyone has the same brain as you or the same thought process as you? I wouldnt be playing CS if I didnt play it competitively, there would be no point. Just because YOU think its nerdy to take games seriously doesnt mean everyone else does.

I think your a bit behind on time aswell, because these days video games are taken pretty seriously. Back on FIFA now, I support Crystal Palace but I'm not going to play with them just because I want to be fair, thats probably being more nerdy than actually wanting to win. I'd rather win than get mauled!

I chose Brentford a couple of times against my friend (oh fwend, game fwend!) on assisted and beat him. They aint too bad. He wa United first and then Colchester I think.
 
What I get pissed about is when players like Rooney run through challenges even when you win the ball, they get it back immediately run towards goal and score.
 
well that's realism, isn't it.
 
No, you don't just run through slide tackles even if you are Rooney. Even if you did, it's still a pisstake and lol at your sig. You're not getting banned.
