Agree OT. Strikers with low finishing not using the new
"controlled" shot (or whatever you call it), are struggling to
score.
In the past, holding left trigger (in default setup) would be
more accurate for long shots. Now, it's still there but timing
needs to be spot on, else the player attempts the shot whilst
standing still - no real power behind it.

Been alternating between seasons and fut champions qualifiers
with two separate teams. Have been using my untradable Mata at
false 9 in a 433(5). In the seasons team, I have been getting
all the players I needed their loyalty for the squad builders.
I've been playing 442 and it's been really good. The previous
team had Lisandro Lopez and Bou from the Argentine League, and
the team I've just finished with had Huntelaar and the Italian
Eder as strikers. Won Division 10 in the first season, survived
in Division 9 in the last game in the first season in that
division, but since then things have clicked and I've won 9, 8
and now am promoted from 7 without losing a game in those 3
seasons. Would be a spectacular collapse to not win division 7!
In the FUT Champions, I managed to lose 5 finals without getting
qualification!
Since my disaster of a second day on 17, things have gone really
well and I'm winning way more than i lose.
I'm enjoying the game. There are some annoying things, but I'm
quite pleased at the moment. There are some worrying signs
though. Two almost unstoppable corner videos techniques have
appeared on youtube the past couple of days and doubtless more
stuff like this will follow.
I've played 68 games now and have yet to score a free kick, yet
to see a goalkeeper get sent off, but have nailed the new
penalty system. I don't even look at the screen when I take
them! Actually find it easier that way!

I am done already. Think this game mode is still full of morons.
The AI is not better than fifa16. Still pace rules too much. I
will play prof clubs with my buddies but no FUT for me.

Damn Glad. Sorry to hear that.
[hr]
A good day this side ...
Firstly, the kid finished off the Weekend League - impressive
run with 6 wins out of 7, thus ending on "Gold 2". Rewards not
paid out immediately - got to wait until they have
validated/verified coz apparently some people are cheating
(disconnect glitches or something). What's new ... ::)
Anyway, they are pretty decent rewards/packs! 45k coins with 1x
Rare Gold pack + 2x Rare Mega Packs. Looking forward to the Mega
ones - 30 items, think min are 26 and all rare.
Then, given that I heard that Draft was a little easier, we
decided to play that as co-op. 4 comfortable wins, not conceding
and 1 rage quit (he was 1 goal down after 15 min ::)). Rewards
were - 1x Rare Players Pack, 1x Mega Pack & 1x Jumbo Premium.
OTW Renato Sanchez in the Rare Players pack - these packs have
been good for us! Notable others int the packs were Bellerin for
20k and Zabaleta for 8k.
Next, finished off the last few games of Div 2, got the win
needed for promotion but couldn't get the 2nd for the title.
Funnily enough these 2 games were relatively calm compared to
the Champions Cup games!
Had some more non-rare golds so did the BB-favourite SBC - 2x
Gold Rare players ... pulled Alex Sandro, sold off the one we
pulled in the opening days for a 15k profit there too.
Tried another draft (given 15k made from Sandro :P) ... not so
good :D. Stuck with an 83-rated 87-chem team - managed 2 wins
before a loss to a 90th min goal. Got 2 packs (Jumbo Gold and
Premium Gold) but no one of note.
And that is enough FIFA! Let me at least half half a day on the
weekend for ... erm ... nothing!

Kiwi one suspects the payouts are being held until the OTW are
outta packs but saying people cheating is making them look like
the good guys ;)

Surely they must have know what would happen? Majority of PC
matches are hackers in Division 1, so it was hardly a surprise
that within half an hour of starting there were people on PC
with 21-0-0 records!

Well, given that there are 3 regional leaderboards, the kid made
the comment that he doesn't understand why there is not top 100
prizes for each of those leaderboards.
Going on coin payouts alone, the top 100 will receive a total of
14.3M coins. If they had to times that by 3, it's a huge amount
being flooded onto the market - every single weekend. And that's
before the packs.
Now, the packs ... Rumours are that only the high TOTW packs
will be untradeable. But, not confirmed and wouldn't be
surprised if EA do an about turn & make them all untradeable. :D
LOL at the PC record after half an hour. How stupid must you
be?!?!

Using a 442 which I have found to be pretty decent this year
with a classic big man, little man front two and a destroyer and
more attacking CM in the centre of midfield. Mandzukic and my
untradable Javier Hernandez are going well. Have been promoted
from Division 9 to Division 5 in consecutive season with three
different 442 teams and looking good for Division 4.
In the cups, been using a 433(5) which is again decent this
year. My untradable Mata is by far my top scorer and assister in
Fifa 17 so far. Have modified that team to be all BPL from
untradables and random non rares I have stashed in my club for
the current FUT Champions Qualifier and am in the semi final
with two tries left.
Have been looking to use discard IF's again and my 442 has IF
Paletta at CB who is pretty decent. Also been using IF Iago
Falque in the false 9 team before it was changed to BPL for the
tournament.
I'm keeping games played, goals assists and cards stats for
every single player I'm selling so by the end of FUT 17 I'll be
able to account for every single player I've used at all!

Really decent session last night. Some good games, mixture of
wins and losses but fun stuff with no lag so all good. Managed
to get myself up to Division 4 now. Four straight wins have put
me into promotion after a streak of draws. In the cup,
absolutely destroyed someone with Mandzukic. All five goals in a
5-0 win and could have been more if I hadn't missed two clear
chance near the end.
Played the final promotion game this morning. Were debuts for
Jose Reina and Marc Bartra in my 442 team, replacing Consigli
and Stobl. Reina's first two touches were a penalty save and a
one on one save. Eventually won 1-0 so decent first appearance
for him.

Already had promotion to Division 4 sorted, but needed one point
from the last game for the title. Predictably was 3-0 down at
half time somehow. The third was the dirtiest near post corner
bs load of nonsense ever witnessed. There just seems to be some
sort of AI failure if the ball is bit right into the near post.
Unfortunately more and more people seem to be picking up on it.
It was still 3-0 after 77 minutes but then things just went mad.
Mandzukic got two and Hernandez the other and seven minutes
later it was 3-3 and title won.
Division 4 started with a loss and a win.
