You know. Man City already has a bitch team with pacey defenders. And now they are playing a 5 at the back formation on my career mode. It took me until the second half to score. And of course EA says "We'll have none of that" Wilfred Bony gets a ridiculous longshot just a minute after my goal. Then I lose in penalties. So much bs.

Dare I even mention that I got paired up against both Manchester sides before the bracket stages in the Capitol 1 cup?
 
In other news, my squad name is now "EA is Awful FC."
 
And I'm 1-0 with the new name. Ironically, I went up 4-1 and then almost lost, but who would have it any other way (except everyone)?

Gardner nailed a laser of a long shot, snagged a goal with Whittaker (RB) and 2 near posts from Agbonlahor. I'm scared Mayuka will somehow make Agbonlahor less effective...

Lost the next two due to reasons that can only be explained by my team name. I now hate Miroslav Klose and his dribblers, as well as a certain 6 chem Hernandez...

Two teams I can't wait to watch come Brazil time (assuming qualifying works out for them):

For a cup that's supposed to separate big clubs early on, EA does a horrendous job at making it that way.

I swear. Every time I score a goal, the computer scores an equalizer within 5 minutes. I also have hit the post more times today than I can even count. FIFA drama is not as cool as Real Life Football drama. They need to work on the drama of FIFA.
 
When they were making the game they were trying to capture the "unpredictability of football." Unfortunately, I can predict it very well...

Just got Mayuka for 133k. Considering switching to 4-1-2-1-2 and getting Raheem Sterling since no one will sell IF Jääskeläinen.

Pato drills me every time I play him so why not.

If no one puts IF Jääskeläinen up soon I may have to buy this:

Have you got a bronze team now? If not build one, GKs are all rubbish anyway when they feel like it and the expensive ones are not worth it.

Get Westcarr instead of Akinfenwa though, he has pace and power. Coke or Grant for CDM too, may as well do it properly. I use Shaw over Daniels too and Little at RB. At gk you can use anyone basically, there is no one much better than anyone else.
 
I have an Australian bronze team with everyone except Ibini-Isei, so I was going to make that to switch out with it. I think I agree with you on Jääskeläinen, his normal card is good enough. I'll wait to see if Odjidja-Ofoe gets an IF before making that though, apparently he got 2 goals this weekend.

IF Emile Sinclair looks like the only IF with stats that make him worth buying.

Considering putting Lukaku at CF instead of Jerome, not sure though.

If I have money after my bronze team I'm definitely making this, Wanyama, Brown, Russell and Zaliukas look amazing.

I'm kinda hoping Odjidja-Odoe doesn't get an IF because it looks like I'll have just enough coins for all 3 new teams and they all look really fun.

Guys, just thought I'd point out now that SoFIFA now has pretty much the perfect search engine for offline squads. They've now added the option to search between specific leagues and teams (free agents included!) and the searching works for every roster from FIFA 11 up to the current FIFA 13 rosters. There have been a ton of changes to a ton of players and there are plenty of men who aren't in UT with incredible ability so make sure you check it out! And you can even find out some of the stats your favourites had in the past :) Best FIFA site around for me.

Something I wish could be somehow worked out for FIFA 14 Career Mode, is possible reserve squads - mainly to allow players that could get very high potential that aren't starting for you get some game time. However there's two teams that might need a bit of extra work that I'd like to see implemented...

Barca and Real Madrid have their B and Castilla teams respectively in the division below them. (Villareal had the same last year too but they got relegated and their B team went to the third division) In FIFA, you have to 'buy' the players from those teams with your own money even if you are the first team itself and should technically own them! There should be some way round that for the next game. However I wouldn't go as far as not letting them be promoted like they can't be in real life (they can't compete in national cups IRL either and obviously having two teams from the same parish in the same league would be a problem).

This is because there are players on both teams that can be very good if you have a Barca or Real career mode. Obviously at present Deulofeu is now on the full Barca roster (for now. But he got 25 minutes playtime at the weekend. I was so happy :') ) but there are plenty of other Barca B players with great potential, like Araujo, Grimaldo, Dongou etc. Real Madrid Castilla has Jese and that's it really but the point still stands.

Interestingly teams that don't have their reserve teams in the game have them implemented in the main roster itself (i.e. Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Betis). Real Madrid actually had this last year, which meant Jese was in their team to begin with (and still 5* too) but Barcelona had to buy what would be their best future players from the B team (Tello, Cuenca of FIFA 12, Deulofeu FIFA 12 Winter and 13, Nolito FIFA 11).

As I follow the young Spaniards quite a lot, I think this would be a really good system to implement for next game, even if it unique solely to the Spanish leagues themselves. But the reserve teams for the rest of the games' teams still stands.
 
I like how that post sounds. I've always wished there was an U18 and U21 league that was played on it's own with my younger players so they can develop. Basically the same thing that you have mentioned with Barca And Madrid's B teams in Div 2.
 
Remember that pace abuse team I posted awhile ago, with the average 89 pace? Yeah so I went ahead and made it :sly:

Now it does exactly what it says on the tin, first game of the Silver Cup, win 6-1, as I expected. Hold up, the EA servers say it didn't register the game. I'm sure it will be fine ...

*Leaving Ultimate Team*

Rage ensues. Though this could be the servers getting their own back on my stupid team :lol:
 
With my most recent Chelsea Career Mode. This team is the definition of OP.

1st Team;
GK - Courtois 89
RB - Azpilicueta 84
CB - David Luiz 84
CB - Papadopoulos 85
LB - Shaw 79
CDM - Ramires 87
CDM - Witsel 88
RM - Hazard 92
LM - Bale 93
CAM - Gotze 88
ST - Falcao 92

Substitues/Reserves;
RB - Kalas 76
CB - Juan Jesus 83
CB - Marquinhos 77
CB - Ake 75
LB - Bertrand 78
CDM - Casmeiro 84
CDM - Romeu 80
RM - Shaqiri 85
LM - Piazon 79
LM - Moses 82
CAM - Bittencourt 77
CAM - Eriksen 85
ST - Lukaku 81
ST - Pato 88

Injuries or fixture congestion doesn't even stop me. Problem is, I don't know who to buy next lol. Neymar? Ronaldo?

Reason I don't have Mata or Oscar is because they wanted to leave the club. Made me really sad because Oscar is my favourite Chelsea player in real life and Mata is just a class player on the game in real life.
 
Waiting for Wednesday to see if there is indeed an IF Odjidja-Odoe in the pipeline. Even so, unless he has outstanding stats and is within my remaining coin pile, I will probably go for the two silver and one bronze team I have posted recently.

Why is IF Johnny Russell 300k? He's not English and he plays in the SPL, confused... I'd really like to have him for my upcoming SPL team.

Was really hoping to try out Mayuka today but looks like homework and the basketball game will come first.

Wow, people are so cheap in Division 1. You really don't need to have a good team to do any good, pr even play well. Just get yourself a Welliton/Eminike/Walcott/Lennon/Sturridge or any other pacey player, and take shots all the time. It's very frustrating, people intentionally take shots from ridiculous places and angles, just so that the keeper parries it away onto another one of their players for a tap in. It's so sad that you don't have to play good football to win, and you will probably end up losing anyway if you try to play good football. They should also nerf containing some more, it's still too overpowered.

You forgot the part about only playing on ultra defensive.:yuck: How people play is why so many people complain about UT, that and all the nonsense that goes on way too much. If more people tried to play properly UT wouldn't be that bad but winning is all that matters to most people these days, so they just exploit all the flaws the game has and when that does not work all of the time they move on to lagging the game on purpose.👎

Because no single matches.

I rarely played them before, just cups but even cups have lots of sweat these days thanks to everyone learning to play that way through divisions.

Unless EA tone down some of the exploits next year will be just as bad, even if they bring back single matches, which I doubt they will anyway.
 
I make chances, EA says no. EA makes chances for the other guy. :banghead:

Scored a PK with Jääskeläinen though :D.

My career mode isn't even fair at this point... I won the Champions League by a very slim margin of 9-2 over Milan, while going through with 6-2 agg. against Benfica, 6-2 agg. aggainst Barcelona, and 8-2 agg. against Real Madrid. Ended up winning everything and have a budget of 120 million pounds sterling.

What difficulty are you playing on?
 
Looks like the Team of the Week has been leaked, but I can't see the bench. Rosicky, Alonso, Neuer (:cool:), Alexis Sanchez, Fabregas and Di Natale seem to highlight the group.

That is a superstar lineup of players. $$$$$$$ for EA.
 
The leaked TOTW is correct. Lyon's gk got an IF for a 1-0 loss.:lol: From what I've read he was good and was only beat via a pen but still a Lyon player probably shouldn't get an IF when on the losing team.

Still strange choices will always happen every now and again and it does not bother me as much as it seems to annoy others. :cool:

World Class, but I may bump it up to legendary if I can. My team is just so good. Nearly half, if not more, of my starting 11 are rated above 90, with my bench being all over 80.

Sounds identical to my career right now. 5 of my players are above 90 rating. I don't think I could play on Legendary though. I get enough BS on World Class, I can't imagine what it would be like on Legendary.

Falcao is on 29 goals in the premier league mid January. He's going ham for me.

Legendary isn't even hard :lol: it's just a bit more tactics-oriented. Bump it up, you'll be fine. Just build a few custom formations with the player workrates and attacking runs set up the way you like and build a few sets of tactics for different strategies and you'll be golden.

Just keep the AI off the ball, and make sure your own possession is high up the pitch so they press back. If you play a 3 at the back you barely ever have to worry about the counter because your 3 CBs collapse so effectively that it's just a non-issue, especially since the AI barely ever play the sweaty chipped throughball.

Using these strategies and my own OP team(s) I'm undefeated for like 5 years straight with Juve.
