FUT '17 - In-game Stories
By: KoolKiwi Date: September 22, 2016, 6:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
So, onto the next iteration ...
For me, the game play at this moment - based on 8 (offline)
games tonight - is simply superb. Yep - haven't we all heard
this before so early on!
It's not like every game was slow, meticulous passing, etc ...
not at all. There were errors, misplaced passes, great off the
ball runs, not a lot of free kicks (!!!), not 1 penalty either
(!!!).
Interestingly some games went by slowly, but in a few the tempo
was quite different - quicker passing, needing to concentrate
more.
Oh ... and one of the funniest aspects is the AI doing fake
throw-ins ... I got caught out a few times! :D

Had a lengthy session tonight - part 2 of the 10-hr early access
stint. Continued offline to maximise the time, but after winning
D10 and D9 & needing 2 points (from a number of games), decided
to attempt Online Seasons.
First game was tough going - managed a 1-1 draw - but he had the
better of the game. Then, won in a row to win the title. I will
say that only 1 was rally easy - the rest, we were made to work
for the wins.
Last game was simply horribly laggy! At one point I counted 5
seconds between screen movements. Thankfully he must have done
something (maybe he stopped watching his 1080p YT vids) - 2nd
half was a bit better.
One thing that stood out online ... the amount of times the
opponent got the ball back! Don't like this aspect. But ...
still not 1 penalty and the amount of fouls are very few!
Oh ... and corners are more fun now too :D

Few days away with work, got back on an early flight and home
before 6PM. Kid waiting eagerly to get some co-op games in,
after he's had a good run of games himself. Oh, and also he's
spent time doing some skill games too. So, he's already got the
low driven finish down pat.
Together with a decent run, after the early access and today's
games - sitting well in D7:

Ripped apart some poor guy - 8-2. He had a Serie A team with Joe
Hart in goals. Was fun :P

Not played much tonight - record of 3-2-1. First defeat in the
last game of the evening :(
A few interesting games. One was against your really typical
pace abuser. But, he was completely ineffective. It felt like
whatever he was trying he was going nowhere. Surprisingly, he
actually changed his game style and became more effective - was
good - both sides.
Got our first penalties - well 2 of them in the one game &
another in the next one. Still haven't conceded one.
One other thing - fair amount of injuries! In one game I injured
2 of his players ... oops ;D

I am enjoying the game so far, although people are now starting
to find the weak parts of the engine already it seems!
On Thursday I won the vast majority of games I played, reached a
couple of FUT Chamoions finals, semi in draft. But yesterday I
couldn't win to save my life ending with a record of 1-2-6!
Played one today and won so hopefully this will continue.
So far I have made teams around the guys that I need to give
chemistry to in the Hard and Ultimate Squad Builders. Have
finished playing with a 433(2) that got Mitroglou, Pizzi,
Danilo, Loren and Subasic their loyalty. Also finished with a
4411 that got Keko, Hugo Mallo, Oczipka, Brandt and Goretzka
their loyalty. Realised that to get Choupo Moting and Huntelaar
their loyalty in the Ultimate squad would probably require
Goretzka again so instead bought a Geis and converted him for
total 2k with Goretzka going for 4.5k.
New squads are a 442 with Lopez and Bou upfront, Corluka and
Pejcinovic at CB. That will complete the Hard squad builder once
they've all played ten games. Also have made a 433(5) containing
Tremoulinas, Lichtsteiner and a second Subasic card that are
needed for the Ultimate squad builder. That false 9 also
contains my first discard IF of the game. IF Iago Falque in at
RW.
Enjoying the game so far, and struggling to score as many goals
as I'd like. Have pulled off a number of 1-0 wins and lost games
I should have never lost. Is a bit annoying when people are just
trying to snap your players in half all game, and the corner
tactic of this year seems to be developing.

This weekend was the start for FIFA17 for me. I created a 352
and 433 team and both didn't play the way I hoped for. So I
changed back to 4312, an all time favorite for me.
First team:
[IMG]
HTML http://i65.tinypic.com/2q20l05.jpg[/img]
Serie A meets Primera Division.
Zarate: 4 WF/4 Skill. And is one word OP: 7 out 7.
IF Benedetto: wanted to try him out. 5 star weak foot show.
Lethal but not as lethal as Zarate. Might replace him for Tevez
. 1 out 4
DÁlessandro: probably doesn't need any introduction. 5 star
skill and 4 star weak foot. 3 out of 7. Picked him up for 650
coins and he feels sooooooo great on the ball. Really teh star
in my team
Belluschi: work horse on the left side. Strong link with the LB
Biglia: consistent as always. I am surprised how many times he
penetrates the box despite his WR.
Jorginho: work horse on the right side
Mas: LB fast , decent physics, decent shooting and passing.
Rodriquez: solid as a rock, not so fast but good WR and linking
with Mas possible
De Vrij: one of my RL favorites. Just had to put him in
Maggio: haven't used him for a long time. Good back in this
formation as both backs will come forward a lot. You need high
stamina and decent passing.
Viviano: never used him before but pretty solid
All in all a nice and affordable team. I won the last game with
them against a pace whore with only 80+ paced players in it. 2
goals from d"Alessandro sealed the deal. Team felt coherent, I
had 93% passing accuracy which is kind of amazing (against his
58%). Nevertheless I am having trouble with heavy skilling
players. It seems that the roulette and fake shot are instant
hits again. I am thinking of keeping this team for a bit,
although I have coins to improve.
Will post team 2 shortly

Nice review Glad.
Weekend games started well and slowly drifted to mediocre.
Managed to continue winning each division, until D3 hit & then
it was tough - not surprised ;D. Only managed to stay up in D3
with a game to spare.
Last night's games (starting the new season) - pretty crap -
ending on 0-1-3. Long time since we've been winless in a session
:D.
Did buy in Tevez to put him in a 3412. First game he starts,
scores in the 6th minute ;D. Didn't make much of a difference as
we ended up losing that one. Good start though and he does look
pretty impressive still, albeit not as fast.
Still haven't found the ideal team - hence trying out 3412 for
now. Want to have something that's firing before getting to the
40 games this weekend - that's if we can even handle 10 of them
:P.

do you guys think that the gameplay has changed a lot?
Last night I had a bad run, was faced with the usual suspects:
all high paced and VERY high pressure teams. Running towards you
and do the roulette every 10 seconds. Was not very enjoyable. It
feels like FUT is full of the same scumbags and the gameplay is
still supporting those idiots

I don't think the game play is that huge a change. But, there
are some subtle changes that will affect us, in the sense that
what we've done previously, we can no longer do.
The one example is hold the left trigger when taking long shots.
I take a lot of long shots - always have. Now I forcefully need
to remove this (now bad) habit. You can still use it, but it
needs to be perfectly timed and in the right situation.
The other one that we've heard about, is using right trigger in
the final 3rd of the pitch - don't do apparently, or once again,
time it better.
Last night the kid wasn't feeling the best. I had a long trip
out & was a little tired. But, thought I'd give it a run - 3-0
rage quit (hilarious OG forced the quit), 5-0 thumping & was 2-0
up at HT when the kid took over. 10 goals scored & 0 conceded,
in a little under 200 mins. Games were in D4 btw - too many
quits last season meant the relegation from D3.
We finished with the 3-2 win, and then I went on to win the next
3 as well for 6 wins out of 6 for the night and the D4 title
win.
So ... my few games were either very well-timed, or co-op play
is harder, against better opposition. Simply cannot take the
Friday/Saturday's games that 'seriously' given you're flying
through Divisions. Again, just subtle changes - normally we'd
have a bit more time on the ball - now, especially in the final
3rd, you need to react a lot quicker.
Certainly is fun though ... would be disappointed if it was just
easy to transition.
Oh ... and one thing ... lobbed throughballs are definitely not
as OP. You've really got to time it right!

i also have to say, not big changes ... 2 things i realized, one
now on defense you have to do that tacking not leave it to AI,
in prev versions if you were running with the attacker side by
side, and like charge him like shoulder by shoulder , the
defender was snatching the ball, its very less now and you hv to
do a timely button press ... to get the ball...
second, the fast players with mediocre finishing stats, are
going 1 on 1 wiht keepers but not like scoring many of those
chances.
kiwi - left bumper on long shots, why was that? what does the
button do ? and the right bumper, is it "sprint" for you ? i do
still use pes button combo so r1 is sprint for me
