hats off to Man City well played game but way to close for comfort

[FreddiRox!]

I wanted QPR to win so badly.

[Benf199105]

Bolton Fan. Just got relegated thanks to the referees at the Stoke Game. Gutted.

But on topic:

I'm on a career mode at Bolton. World Class on Board and Difficulty.

Into my second season, we finished 9th last season and are currently 6th or 7th after 10 games.

I sold most of the absolute shit players, bought a 5*5* scout, Welliton, Muntari, Jarvis and Eva Banega.

Set me back about £30m all in all, made a profit from the players i've sold though: (Jussi, Wheater, Knight, Robinson, Steinsson, S.Davis, K. and M. Davies, Gardner, Petrov, Muamba. Pretty much everyone, the only person who remains are some of the young kids I couldn't shift (like Connoly and Vela) who sit in the reserves. Hopefully i'll turn them into a Winning side in the next couple of seasons.

Welliton is amazing (from the Russian league) and scores shit loads, and grows fairly well, about £20mn. Muntari is also a good stopper.

if anyone wants any tips on amazing career mode players for sort of middle of the road teams i've got a few including some tips from a Guadajlara-->Zaragoza--->Bilbao game me and my friend have been playing where we are currently in 2019.

John Smith (free agent GK)
Benedetti (Italian CB becomes absolute quality)
May Mahlangu (physical freak)
Wakaso (physical freak)
Lucas Piazon (awesome)
Leandro (great young striker)
Welliton (striker)
Neymar (really low stamina for some reason)
Jackson Martinez (fast and strong)
Fabian Delph
Chris Smalling

Lots of others but, yeah, Fifa is awesome.

Can't wait for next weekend, Championship play-off final, Champions League final, Scottish Cup final.

Next year again in the Champions League, hopefully we will make our way through to the quarter final or perhaps more. I'd love to see Schalke & Arsenal in one group.

No idea in FUT which team you can make? Make a team with Farfan, he's one of the most epic players in FUT with some pretty nice overall stats and for this price, or get the TOTY version.
This team, for example, is insane to play with:

That isn't FUT, where is it from?

Also, Juventus - Atalanta 3 - 1 :D 30th scudetto for juve now, sadly, del piero is probably leaving.

Vid when he got subbed.All the players said goodbye to him (even Atalantas' players then he walked around the field, the camera focused on him and not the game, heh.

[WeekendWarrior]

No wonder, Del Piero's a legend in Italy.

[titopei]

How can I play this game better? I usually only play offline on Professional setting but I could be playing a 5 star club vs a 3 star club and barely win by 1 point and most 5 star vs 5 star end up in draws. When I go down a difficulty it gets too easy and I just end up sprinting past their last line and win 7-0 no matter what team i face. Also, is there a trick list? I use an xbox controller for the PC but I can't find it.

[editline]13th May 2012[/editline]

I remember there was one and I saw it in practice mode, i can't find it anymore though.

[FreddiRox!]

Play online, best way to improve.

[Lhuth]

Villareal got relegated?!

Arsenal should get all over Nilmar... perfect for them.

Rossi/Valero should go for cheap too.

[Branz]

Did anybody see the quick interview with Van Persie after he got given the golden boot?

Definitely sounds like he won't be sticking around at Arsenal much longer.

A legend worldwide.

He sounded really relieved to me, his wife's hinted that they prefer living in London anyway.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has retired from full football today. It feels weird to see all these legends end their careers.

I'm always too afraid to put an actually decent amount of money on an accumulator to make a lot of them worth doing.

Also had 2-2 in the Everton - Newcastle game come to me in a dream, so I bet on it

Ended up 3-1

:(

I can't believe that people moaning about the graphics of Fifa 13 right now, especially that the screenshots are just taken in an alpha or beta status and they are just working on the gameplay.
I like what they want to include until now, especially the new freekick system but they should take care of containing, it is just horrible when people just press r1 and x the whole game.

It looks exactly the same as FIFA 12 though, I don't think they would release screenshots if the graphics are going to change dramatically. I don't mind though, I really liked FIFA 12 apart from some bugs and annoyances, if they fix those and add the Turkish league back, I'll definitely buy it.

My Serie A team (on PC). Gonna replace Pato with Giovinco when I have cash and Nagatomo with Taiwo.

And my hybrid team on PS3.

[IMG]http://screenshooter.net/data/uploads/hv/jl/xwxu.jpg[/IMG]

Kinda switching back and forth between PC and PS3 because they both have pretty major flaws. The PS3 version runs really slow (FPS wise) compared to the PC, and the PC tournaments are unplayable thanks to cheaters.

[Bad)-(and]

Right, anyone have any tips for taking free kicks? Currently started my 2nd season with Rangers after taking the lead from Celtic on the last day, and in an old firm match none the less. I've signed a couple of good young players from Brazil with good free kick stats, but I just can't get the knack of taking them. Think I've scored like 5 in the entire time I've been playing FIFA 12

[RivaGe]

Both PES and FIFA are really poor sport games if you compare them to games made by 2K. NBA & MLB are just destroying them in every single aspect. The last good football game was PES 6 (released in 2006).

I don't have any cool goals so have this

[Xirteg]

I think some of the most hated players in Fifa 12 are:

[U]David Luiz[/U]: He's just a souleater and a rather fast wall.
[U]Gabriel Agbonlahor[/U]: Run and shoot, not more.
[U]Joe Hart[/U]: He saves everything in the opposing team.

In general, BPL is so overrated, it's just normal that 7/10 people have a 4-3-3 BPL team.

[FreddiRox!]

I know its lame, but I really need money - I hope in FUT 13 they add some sort of loan system.

How many of you play on the Xbox 360?

Looking for some actually active Facepunchers who play Fifa, think my gamertag is under my avatar so just add me.

"He's going to be Klaas"
Good one.

Also looking at the rest of the Northern Europe TOTY, Gomez, Ribery and Kagawa are also all insane.

Guessing next week's TOTY will be southern Europe, should be a big one.
