Just played my third game and it was my first decent opponent.
Defending is tough but give it a few weeks and I'll hopefully
get the hang of it. Player stats definitely make a difference
this year. Got into some nice positions with Rodwell and Rudnevs
but missed hopelessly. Opponent also did the same. Apparently
there were no shots on target all game, but I won 1-0 thanks to
a Lewis Holtby diving header.
The funniest moment was the 90th minute. He managed to send
Aduriz clear through my defence but he pulled up with an injury,
letting the ball roll to my keeper! Only his 5th player of the
game to get injured!
So that promotion with 3 wins out of 3 with no goals yet
conceded.

LOL TWS - that is funny indeed! Good to see that high pressure &
constant RT will see more of those happening. He's also going to
have to either have a lot more squads to get those injuries
sorted, or spend coins on healing cards. Me thinks there's a
market opportunity in there, now that I just said that :P.
We finished one game yesterday where the kid said "great, no
injuries" :D.

Not had one injury yet in my 6 games played. Won the Division 10
title with 4 win and 2 defeats. Lost a couple, the first against
a guy that won 5-4, 3 of his goals he just ran straight at my
defender, I tackled him but the striker steamrollered
everything, whilst controlling the ball perfectly to get clean
through. This seems like the biggest challenge this year so far,
stopping these direct striker runs. Only was a problem in that
game though.
Lost the next 2-0. Could have been that to me, but it was a
decent enjoyable game with some nice moves from both sides.
Got the title with a 5-1 win against a 39 chem team with all the
loan players in it. They have a blue outline if anyone didn't
know. (I didn't but I guess that's what it means given the
players). He tried lob through balls with no success and towards
the end tried to through in the crosses. That stuff is useless
this year thankfully!
Amassed enough coins to replace my Gignac in the 4231(2) team
with the IF. Not used him yet but being discard, nothing to lose
at all and he is the sort of striker that seems good this year
and has very good shooting which is huge so far. The NIF is very
good for 350 coins, got me a few goals in his 4 games.

played with my bronse last night. Haven't lost since my first
game :D
play mostly mix G/S/B on reasonable chem (90+). First game of
the evening I was up against an all out pace team. But English
brons are soooo good. Dribbling matters and having 3 4 Star
skillers make it fun. Got 1-0 up, when he scored two back. he
let me watch the replay of the second 3 times ::), why oh why
are there still a$$holes on it. Got 2-2 back in the 70th minute
(watch the replay also 3 times ;D) and hammered his goal was
unable to score, so into ET. Managed to score 3 times and a
solid 5-2 victory was taken. watch ALL the replays including the
7 goals in the ending ;D
Best game of the evening was against my fist MLS pace team this
year. I couldn't score and wa shammering his goal with
everyhting I got untill he got the ball and just run through my
midfield and defence. Defending is hard, especiially if they
start to run with the ball. Think teh trick is not to select the
nearest player but one further away to position him in front of
the running train. Got 4 goals and thus a 4-1 victory.
so far I am really loving FUT. Sure there are still some strange
things (like IRL) but as everybody is stating; stats do matter.
dribbling and ball control pays off. So does passing/shooting. I
am missing sitters with low rated stats on shooting but score
with my high finishing players. A good thing.

Played a whole bunch of games again today - probably another 2
seasons plus a bit more. Teams felt good - connection was
horrible. One monkey had his kinect in so we could hear all his
expletives on how cr@p his team was performing. He did have
'Loan' Sterling at RST in a 41212 on no chem (or very little).
Funniest moment was when he blasted wide and moaned how bad
Welbeck was ::) :D.
Anyway, games are finishing correctly (back to the Seasons
screen), but before we can start the next, we get an 'unable to
create game session' & then booted out of UT. Log back into UT
and get the 'DNF' message ::). Once again EA proves that they
are massively incompetent, under-skilled or under-staffed. This
happened even after they took the web app market offline again.
Had one 2v2 game - actually played them some time previously as
he had the same GT. This game can be ridiculously good (and fun)
when there are 2 people on each side wanting to play football.
Best game we've had in a long, long time. GG messages ensued.
Really is a shame that EA is so narrow-minded when it comes to
'community'. As we've chatted about before, the ability to have
a lounge where certified (approved) users can gather, would go a
long way in increasing enjoyment in the game. Could hear a few
more people & they really are naive little gamers - all about
the win.
Oh ... 'player of the day' this side was Welbeck - most faced
that is ;D.

Yeah Glad - we tried one game today with the NR French team.
First game of the day actually. Weak, poor passing, worse
shooting. It's difficult with this version, to compete against
full gold rares trying to abuse the game (so many hard
throughballs).

but they are loads of good non rares too (Payet!). It is all
about buidling the right team now. Looks like the pin point AI
helped passing is toned down, may be that is whu the Kick off
glitch of last year doesn't work because of the weak passing
stats of many CB's?

Ah yeah - no doubt that there are good ones - agreed. The likes
of Herrera, De Sciglio, Cedric (RB @ Sporting), Erkin have
performed really well. It is tough trying to compete with an
all-NR team though.
And I do agree about the 'right team'. Well balanced is more
important now.

My two teams are playing really well. Only two rares in each
(well 3 in one now that I have upgraded to IF Gignac).
Played my first gold cup match with the 451 BPL, Bundesliga,
Portuguese League side. Was against a full Serie A rare gold
team. Three times I went behind to nice goals and three times I
levelled up with good footballing goals. So the match went to
extra time.
Stamina on both the teams was low on both sides and we both
played the game at walking pace in extra time! Managed to win it
4-3 when Rudnevs got free of his marker and blasted it in for
his second of the game, adding to Van der Vaart and Holtby
goals.
Should be interesting when I play against a full pace team and
take it to extra time. Even not sprinting all game, your players
really suffer in extra time. Think I only used sprint twice in
the whole of extra time. The most messed up player was Jack
Rodwell, the CM. A demanding role in 451 and he was dead by the
end. Subs will definitely be needed in future for cups. May have
to rethink my strategy for the gold cup challenge. Using two
teams in one squad without using subs so that the other team can
rest is going to be difficult without fitness cards.

Interesting TWS. Some games we've finished the players have been
as low as 82 (after the 2nd game). Can only imagine what ET will
do to them.
And yeah - agreed that the CM position in 451 is SO demanding.
De Rossi (M/H) still acts like a CAM. Nice that he's scoring
goals, but if he's up and you lose possession, there is no
midfield.
What we're doing, is putting 2 players on the bench that are not
in any team (the 'next' team) - using them every game. Good
thing that you don't need a keeper on the bench any more as
their fitness does not go down. At least you then have 2 fresh
players on the pitch & if you do need a 3rd, at least you can
give him a single fitness card.
