FOOTBALL Fifa 13 PC and Consoles

Got offered Australia and Bolivia. Wish it was New Zealand, but I'll probably have to take Australia by January.
 
Didn't get any top offer? Or you haven't yet completed a season?
 
I'm now in my second season at Norwich. On the club side I've turned down job offers from Spurs, Liverpool and Lille. I managed to get Poland qualified for the World Cup and in October 2013 (having qualified in September) I was offered the England job, which of course I took.
 
Ratings don't mean anything though, Walker is extremely similar to Johnson when you use him.

They might be the same in the first season but after 5 seasons, Walker will be at his peak and Johnson will be 32/33 and will have declined a lot. Ratings mean a lot because it's not just the overall rating that goes up. That overall rating goes up because players get better in key individual areas.
 
Many of you will have players whose overall has exceeded their potential. This is because a player should naturally reach his potential, but by playing them often you can boost their overall potential. In the past this boost has been anywhere from 1 to 10, but more likely 3 or 4.

Found that on Fifafanatic, explains why Maicon got to 85 in my Man City career.

Haven't played in like 3 days, been busy with stuff. I was actually planning on finishing the season over the weekend, wasn't to be be, but hey, there's always this week. :yes
 
Have you guys invested in a scout yet? Got a 5 star experience, 5 star judgment scout yesterday. Should cut some costs in the long term.

One thing I hate about this game- Sim match. I used to sim a lot of games in FIFA 12 because I don't actually enjoy PLAYING career mode. I just like the transfer window. However, in FIFA 13, there are far too many injuries in simmed matches.
 
In Fifa 12 I had my Spurs save, but since I lived with an Oxford fan also had a couple of long term games with them.

Normally we'd create a player worth decent money, sell him straight away, invest all the money in good scouts and then just play nothing but the youth players. Was always good fun nurturing them into superstars :)

Sounds like what I will be doing. Only problem is that the board expects me to win the title. Probably not very realistic for the Liverpool board to expect its manager to win the title in the first season. Makes it a bit more difficult to play players rated 70 and under.

One thing I really like about the game- how the opposition really pressures you in the last 10 minutes of the game. I lose the ball a lot as a result of this and have conceded quite a few last minute goals.
 
The beauty of starting at the bottom is you get to play your young guys at a level where they excel for a few years before reaching the prem. To be fair though, stats can be misleading.

I had a centre back who was a 67 when he signed at 16. Ended up playing him ahead of almost all my other defenders because whenever he started he'd put world class strikers in his pocket. The guy was class :D
 
After 3 draws and a win vs Sunderland in my first four PL matches, my performances were poor and I needed to get some wins on the board. What better way than to do so against United. My best performance yet.

Nope, not really looking to go that long with a certain club, maybe when I play with one of the lower league clubs.
 
I want to play Ultimate Team online but I can't, EA Servers are SOOOO bad, I can't even log into the servers half the time so have to settle for CM so that my DNF doesn't go too low. Until they fix it I'm hesitant to play online.

Just got offered US as well, US, Australia, South Africa, Bolivia, tough stuff. It'll have to be US or Australia tbh. New Zealand are interested too supposedly! They haven't put in an offer yet though.

I went for some cheap scouts who cost something like 500 K each. I don't plan to play more than 2-3 seasons, but I'll do it anyway, why not:D? I've actually put money into scouts every CM and I've never promoted a player.

Nah, first season.

Yes, but while using them they feel VERY similar, better stats or not. Both are pacey attacking full-backs. One might be slightly better than the other, but I wouldn't pay that much myself. I can't tell the difference between a 78 rated cross and an 88 rated cross. Or 66 short passing and 76 short passing. Also full-backs don't have as much of an effect on the game as say midfielders or forwards IMO, so I never really fork over for a top full-back.

Just my opinion, I can understand if you feel he really boosts your overall play.

Bloody hell, Podolski did his ACL and now Giroud is my only striker till the transfer window:mad. I've started using the 4-3-3 false 9 formation a bit when Giroud needs a rest, interesting since I don't have a guy who can play CF either:p. Using Arshavin and Cazorla there is interesting. It was funny seeing the midget Arshavin win an aerial duel with Rio Ferdinand and score as well.
 
I've followed this and found it makes single player games much more realistic.
 
I'll be sure to try that.

If anything, marking should be decreased though, not increased I reckon... Really unrealistic seeing West Brom pressing the ball like Barca.

This is with the assumption that all sliders are set to 50 atm. Maybe slow game speed will change it.

Also, I'm interested to see how you guys manage to score "different goals" like you suggested earlier. In CM, pretty much the only goals I score is a pass to a player, a turn which catches out his marker, and a shot into the bottom corner. I occasionally score skill goals with Ben Arfa as well and counter attacks. Otherwise, very little.

Btw, shravi, is Assaidi any good? I may look to buy him as he looks a really good impact sub with 5* skills and decent pace. That way I won't be scared to take Ben Arfa off:p.

Oh and the commentary situations thing you guys were discussing earlier works fine on PS3, must just be PC. They talked about how Szczesny and Ox are trying to RVP me, they talked about Gervinho's great run in the team and they talked about Cazorla's return from injury. They also talked about Rooney's goal drought, so it must be fine.
