At least that explains why my defenders would suddenly stop running back and let the attack go through, or how the ball always bounces back to my opponent while my teammates constantly block my shots. Oh, and free penalties.[/QUOTE] Holy shit, this can't be real. I won a lot of games against a friend of mine with bullshitty things like those, crap. Does this apply to FUT only or general gameplay?

I have played loads of fifa since 09 and i know for sure this is true. One moment my player can score from mid field without any problem whatsoever and next 5 shots on open goal from 3 steps away from the goal he misses. It's really annoying and what's worse is when it happens in ultimate team in your Final match. [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] It's also obvious when your defenders suddenly think it's a good idea to stand on the midfield so there's no way you can catch up to their countering speedmachine. They oftenly do this when you are ahead 2-1 and there's no reason to play that risky any more. [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] And what about players that normally always pick up a ball with great handling but happen to fail when all they had to do was just touch it to score a goal.

Thing you'll notice when watching football in real life is that scripting is there to. Celtic 2 Barcelona 1 is a perfect example of "scripting." The game is based on chance, alot of times it's like Risk, even if you have 7 armies it doesn't mean that you'll always beat 4 armies. Football isn't fair. Deal with it.

It's not always as simple as it seems, there's tons of pressure on you. Sometimes you're gonna miss.

The "It's a feature" argument is retarded imo and I'm glad I found out about this because when I was complaining about it to my friends they would just laugh it off. I was convinced that my players would get demoralized after I received a goal. I mean, just look at this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsUjnuYd6MY&feature=related[/media] Or this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=psBddvaq6vM[/media] Just Google/Youtube it and you'll find plenty of stuff, they even banned discussion about it on their forums.

Example: When i play Online Friendlies vs my nephew (Can hardly even set 2 steps without falling) I win the first 4 games with ease. After that you get a cup. After that cup i notice that suddenly all players are clunky and retarded and he needs just 1 counter to score a bullshit goal because my keeper fucks up.

I've played over 200 matches and I don't notice anything to do with scripting. However on thing I do notice is that when I make a new team, the first three games I play with them are elite, action packed and I come out on top with something of a 5-0 win. However after that O go back to winning 2-1 or 1-0.

THREE seasons in a row the league was won in a last match-day decider between my team and the 1st/2nd place team and it was always whoever won that match, won the league. Even if my team won every game of the season (Liverpool, my pro, professional difficulty) Chelsea or Man City would always be on or 1-2 points behind the entire season. If I'm winning 30/36 games per season I think I should win the league with 4-5 games remaining not on the very last day of the season.

I'm like 14 points ahead of the 2nd place team in my career mode right now in the second half of the season. I was far ahead like that early on and then went on a streak where opposing teams scored 5 goals constantly. Playing as an individual player as a striker, there was nothing I could really do on defense. Since I'm so far ahead, I'm expecting another streak like that.

Christ, can't stand Facepunch anymore, we should ban scripting talks here to. [editline]11th November 2012[/editline] The entire thread becomes people complaining.

Ok, yes please stop with the scripting talk - There will never be no definite answer and if it really bothers you please control yourself; Also do any of you want a game later today?

If someone stomps me like 2-3 goal differences, then I admit that he's better than me. But if my players start losing ball uncontrollably, get weaker and my goalkeeper gets rating of 4.7 in the end, that sure as hell ain't my fault and that's why I get so frustrated that I went from certain win to a draw or I even lose the game.

[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;38407335] But if my players start losing ball uncontrollably, get weaker and my goalkeeper gets rating of 4.7 in the end,[/QUOTE] And this doesn't happen in real life?

I don't care if it happens in real life or not, I want the game that relies purely on your skill, not on randomness. Why should I be punished if I play better than my opponent? As I said before, "It's a feature!" argument is really stupid.

My midfielder in career mode went from Accrington Stanley to AC Milan, now a transfer offer came in from Barcelona (It's my 'dream' to be signed by Liverpool) should I go to Barcelona or stay with Milan.. if I go to Barcelona will it stop any chance I have of going to Liverpool (Transfer fee/wages/club reputation wise)

Barca and Milan are 5 stars while Liverpool is 4.5 or something like that ?

The above is true, now STAPH. Ok so; [b]I have Team 1 and I play with them till lots of the players are 49 Fitness, so I go to play with Team 2 instead, will the low fitness players in Team 1 fitness increase whilst I play with Team 2?[/b]

No, unless you put them in subs of Team 2. Players need to be in the team that's currently playing the match in order to regenerate fitness.

[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;38422559]No, unless you put them in subs of Team 2. Players need to be in the team that's currently playing the match in order to regenerate fitness.[/QUOTE] Take note that subs will also lose 7 morale if they are on the bench but don't get playing time.

Scripting moaning is just another form of being butthurt. Sometimes things won't go your way. [B]Accept it.[/B] If you don't like it, buy PES instead.

[QUOTE=Scientist2;38419637]The game will see it as a step back. Barca and Milan are 5 stars while Liverpool is 4.5 or something like that ?[/QUOTE] So now only 5 star teams will put in transfer bids for me? I have gone about this all wrong.

Guys how do I win more at H2H seasons? In FIFA 12 I was division 5, which to be fair isn't great - However, this time round I'm division 1 on UT and it is not because of my team... I tried playing Arsenal, but tackling in H2H seems more aggressive and everyone is slow. Also finishing from outside the box never happens and I am beast with da LOoongshots

Did anyone see Suarez's goal celebration the other day against Chelsea? I can't stand the guy so I couldnt stop laughing to see that no one celebrated with him so ronery

[QUOTE=Bad)-(and;38447990]Did anyone see Suarez's goal celebration the other day against Chelsea?

He started sliding on the grass but I guess the friction was too much for him and he faceplanted in the grass.

I normally play 4-1-2-1-2, or '4-4-2 Diamond Wide' as Seasons puts it. In answer to the people quoting me, I didn't mean to come across as an asshat but I find the easiest thing is just to ignore FIFA's flaws and not get mad.

MK Dons - AFC Wimbledon Epic match coming up if you know your football history, wish I could go!

I just recommend playing a possession based football, don't take any stupid unecessary decisions. [editline]14th November 2012[/editline] Also, got Frank Lampard in my team, brilliant player since pace really doesn't matter in the midfield, which is basically the only thing he's poor at.
