[Ollie 4,400]

@Ollie, was it your team? WTF DUDE???? BEASTIALITY MODE ON!

It was my team and my Video, i thought i'd record the pack opening and be epic. Delighted how it turned out. I got this too....

If you see under the 'Level 47' is indeed my name for proof that i got these 2 players and the vid is mine. "OllieCFC" and Surbiton FC, as you can see here my location is Surbiton Nice way to get over 1 million coins although i didn't sell them for as much as i wanted as it was late in the year.

That Aguero and Falcao before January would fetch about 3 million coins. Got just over 1.1m for them as it was later.

[Ollie 4,400]

Ok i'm not messing about now, i've used some of my 340,000 coins to give my team a bit of genuine quality. Di Natale and IF Miccoli for my wings. I feel they are a bit too small and weak for being strikers plus both shit at heading but they have great stats to be wide men. Pace, Passing, Dribbling and shooting.

I stumbled on a big problem though. The formation. I went for the 4-2-3-1 with

Muriel

Di Natale - Sneijder - Miccoli

Guarin - Vidal

It was fucking shit! No width, my CDM's kept going too far up the pitch and i conceded about 6 goals a game. I then had to sell them all and rebuy them again in my tried and trusted formation ... 4-2-2-2 and Voila! Works well but i'm having a problem with strikers and defence. My defence lacks strength and my strikers lack real shooting ability. I used Palacio up front with his 3 chemistry and he actually worked ok but i noticed the Chemistry problem straight away. He doesn't fucking move unless u hammer the player run button n make him, bit like whipping a horse!

I need the Italian league to give me some stunning IF's in the next few weeks now but i want them to be some different nationalities because i don't like looking like a team from Serie a. I'd love an IF Handanovic, Campagnaro, quicker Vucinic and a quicker Benatia but now i just need them to perform, i really need a striker though with at least 83 pace, 80 shooting and 75+ heading to go with my Columbian pace n00b!. Any IF Vidal's or Guarin's would be awesome but very pricey. I get so much satisfaction from using unknown players than winning with ppl like Benzema, Messi, Aguero etc and the IF's would be cheaper too as most ppl just want to be boring.

So far though, there are 3 things i hate about FUT.

1) Pace whoring

2) High through ball abuse

3) Brazil teams.... Why be so boring? If you want to use Brazil, play H2H seasons as Brazil. Surely FUT is for fun, creating teams with a diverse range of different players if poss. I know i have a Serie A team but there is a lot of nationalities used and i still may convert it to a half and half if i see something i like for a different league.

Oh and i also have a true proper hate for ppl that pause the game in the middle of the match. I always do my stuff when i'm bout to take a GK or throw, ie when the ball's fucking out!!!

Anyway my team atm with 235,000 coins at hand for any IF's that some out shortly. http://www.ea.com/so...LFPDomnHILx:ps3

I know there is a IF Hamsik but tbh i just don't like him and i have a problem with Cavani too, dunno why, i just don't like the way they look or something lol. I don't pick people who i don't like, that's why my team isn't EPL. It would have to be Chelsea only because i would never have a Liverpool, Arsenal or Man Utd player in my team. And players like Tevez, Aguero, Nasri or Balotelli for Man City or Adebayor, Bale etc from Yids because i hate them.

Gonna go on in a bit and see what i can muster.

Also has anyone noticed... hard to explain i'll give you an example. On the FUT web app, my Palacio has an Orange position logo with 5 chem, but on the actual game itself it's red with 3 chem. It doesn't make any sense..

Oh and anyone who thinks spending 70k on an IF Miccoli for example is pointless as he's only slightly better than his normal card is WRONG because if you compared all his stats from here http://futhead.com/fifa/players/ you'll see a huge difference as this is a place you can see every stat and not just the few from the face of the card.

Made this. 3 leagues, nearly perfect Chemistry i'll work on this http://www.futhead.c...4/#squad-player

Btw is it ok if someone has 7 Chemistry? They won't be completely shit no?

[Kezza 1,965]

Fuck trading. I bought FIFA to play games.

I've got 3 teams, Ligue 1, Budesliga and an A-league.

I'm comfortably in div 2 but keep coming up against sweaty teams, who just have so much pace and rape the 'contain' button.

I'm -50k in trade profit, Fuck the police!

Played a few H2H season matches, game play is really different.

Im with Ollie, hate people who make Barca/RM/Brazil teams.

Alot cheaper to play with them on H2H.

I love beating teams that would be worth more than 200k with my 45k team =]

Yeah they should be fine. Providing you don't have too many on 7. Just one or two shouldn't notice a difference. I easily have 100 chem on my main team and have Lahm at left back which is 7 chem, and i can't really feel a difference between when i play him there and on the right except for obvious problems with him being right footed so having to cut in when firing it down the line etc.

Yeah i do a bit but if i want to buy someone i will. If i was worried then i would sell everyone now keep the coins for 2 months then buy players cheap, but with a new game every year whats the point, may as well enjoy the game whenever you want to play it. I haven't tried much H2H because when i did it kept freezing in the arena which pissed me off. And on the sweaty thing, its pretty much the same everywhere, I have played about 40 games in Div 1 and everyone does it so i just see it as part of the game and move on. It can get annoying at times, especially when its Doumbia and Remy so you cant even block off the passer which is what i generally do to stop it as they often have no intention of shooting so run into my keeper or pass it to me. lol.

Yeah same, I just save for players, maybe buy a pack or two with fifa points.

I'm not as worried about the contain thing now, got over it.

What you mean by block off the passer bit?

I feel sorry for my housemates lol. I can't help but rage sometimes.

[Rmpr 8,977]

There is why FIFA has other game options. FUT is basically trading and playng, 50% for each.

[Kezza 1,965]

Yeah I realise that. What I mean is I buy players without the intention of selling them on for a higher price. I'm not gonna pass on a player just because he's going for a couple of grand more than what I can get him for.

For me it's 80% playing 20% selling players I get in packs.

I see, me neither. I buy the players that I want without think on resale value and I buy sporadic bargain players I find for upgrade my coin total. Most of hardcore FUT users spend a lot of time trading.

It is basically this or money dry out (4600 points for U$30 is pretty expensive).

[Sheva. 5,373]

There's almost no way to stop people who just put the fastest players as strikers and get the ball to them.

Getting the keeper out early helps 15% of the time though.

[Ollie 4,400]

Trading is fun and i've played over 200 FUT matches so all good for me. By the way, there's still some debate about chemistry. I read this and thought i really hope it's true.

http://fifaaddiction.com/3055/fifa-ultimate-team-chemistry-myth/

Now i've been debating it for a while thinking how they would actually make ppl shit and good and pass better, move better etc and i'm starting to think that as long as the team has 100 chem, it should work perfectly fine. The green lines are just linked to the chemistry bar and the individual chemistry is also linked to the bar, surely EA can't decide how a certain player plays during a game. I played Palacio up front, a RF in a ST role made his chem 3 and my teams chem went down to 96, yet he still played well.

I'm gonna investigate this properly, i'd love the chem to be a myth. I mean, Everyone has the same teams. The Brazil teams are the same, the prem teams, Serie a, BBVA, Bundesliga teams are all the same so i'd love to create something totally random and play well n whip ppl.

Personally from what i believe i've noticed, players with less chem don't do as many runs as the CPU so u have to kinda push em to move. They're rather sluggish but i could be wrong. Maybe it's psychological thinking that your players are shit because in your head you know the chem isn't perfect. I'm starting to think the only thing that matters is team chemistry but i'm sure the debate will go on forever lol. I'll need to literally go into EA FIFA HQ and see how they create this stuff.

Anyway, for the record, i fucking hate Chemistry. It ruins FUT and makes it boring. It also makes no sense, Di Natale doesn't play for Udinese, he plays for my team! Brazilians speak portuguese so they should link in language, English and the rest of the UK and USA, Aus players should link too. I think the idea for chemistry is an absolute nightmare. I still love FUT though lol. Gonna change my team anyway, bored of the same old players.... Might just put Reus and Lewandowski up front, even with my all Serie A midfield, they would be 9 chem as would everyone else, and they are a perfect mix of power and pace. Rather get some English guys in though, it is 'Surbiton FC' after all.

It is always like this, I remember people complaining about this on FUT 11 (I did not play FUT 10) and they never fix it. This year, Attacking A.I. made it worse...

Try going out with the keeper just a little (so your opponet will press shooting button) and then stop. He will probably chip or finesse but your keeper wont be out. It has worked for me, but it aint 100%.

The games are with really high score (always 5-3, 6-1, 5-0, 4-2, etc)

I don't think there's much EA can do, they're just trying to make the game good, but people are abusing it by only getting the fastest players.

What even makes it worse is that most defenders have pace of below 50

After seeing your team, I just worship you Ollie. I think you are a bit wrong though.

In my opinion, Chemestry is important and the fault of you seeing the same teams are due to uncreative players. I find individual chemestry to be more important (as you said, it has no factual prove it works), but to get all 9chem you will automatically get 100 overall. I always do hybrid of 2/3 leagues so I dont encounter many similar teams. I did a Russian league at first (was low on coins) and then I did a French/Spanish/BPL team (was quite good). Lastly I did the team I showed TC, now I am with no team and choosing the best one to build. Futhead really helps to plan your squads...

My record is 135-10-39.

Can I ask how you got that beast team of yours??

This is my 2011 Brazilian team: http://www.ea.com/uk/football/fifa-ultimate-team/show-off#ka61GopynHI56:ps3

I do not do Brazil or BPL anymore, really boring and already know all the players.

[Ollie 4,400]

I won 9-6 earlier ... was 6-3 down after 60 mins. I've changed my team now, It's now a bit more English. Hart's price needs to go down because i'll never spend over 30k on a GK unless it's an IF tho, he's currently going for 50k.... An IF Cahill and Carroll would be awesome. All my chem is 9 except Guarin who has 7.

Thinking if i should sell Chiellini because he's boring (think i will) and if i should get Sneijder to replace Guarin or Vidal, bit more passing and shooting.

http://www.ea.com/so...I191bDnHI51:ps3

I've actually been awesome with this team. Unbeaten in 6 games winning 5 and EA screwing me in 2 DC'ing me n making me lose the cunts!
