Yep BB ... have not got it either. Wonder if the DLC is only
available on official launch date and not early access?

crap game. Trying to solve a couple of SBC, using concept
players to sort out which one I need. Only to find out when I
finally got them that the calculation of chemistry was not
correct. WTF? Idiotic bastards

That's something that happened last year as well. The concept
player show chemistry as if they already have the one loyalty
bonus chem, which if you buy them, they don't have. Very
annoying.
I played 12 games yesterday, winning 8 and losing 4. The defeats
were on penalties, or by one goal, whereas I was winning by
scoring stupid amounts like 9, 7 and 6. Built two teams, one
433(5) and one 4231(2). Top scorer so far is Ilicic from false
9, with 9 goals (and 8 assists) from 6 games.
The games were quite fun, but give it two weeks when weekend
league starts and people start to have some sort of clue what's
going on in game, plus the game is on full release and the
button delay and lag inevitably starts, then I don't know
what'll happen. There's already signs that diagonal cross pitch
runs are very difficult to stop if done right. Add any sort of
problems with lag or delay into player switching and it would
become a pacey mess. That's my biggest concern so far.

Firstly, @BB ... yep, still nothing on the DLC front. Why am I
not surprised!?!?
Played FUT last night for the first time. Now, I didn't even end
up using 1 hour of 10-hour 'whatever-you-call-that' allowance.
So, not really invested that much in game play at this stage.
So, went into the daily tournament - best jump straight in
there.
Wow, just WOW! After 22 min it was 2-3 ... after 70 minutes I
quit at 3-7. His loanee Aubamatwat running rampant. And yes,
rampant = pace, pure pace. You can see a mile away - striker
starts to make a run, no matter how I change/flick I cannot get
the CB in time and the most perfectly-weighted through ball from
his non-rare whomever = another goal. It was laughable. Together
with the player getting the ball back continuously ... didn't
have a hope.
So ... went to squad battles and it was a bit better. For me the
game play is a big change to '17 - over time I think these will
be good. But, like you and others have said - the exploits will
come. And when those do, I don't think I'll have the will power
to play online.

The blind 180 degree instant passes are plain stupid. Played a
few games last night. Two 3-0 wins and a 3-0 defeat. The loss
though was a glimpse into the future. The opponent was playing
either 41212(2) or 4312. Had everyone on stay back apart from
the front three and if he got the ball, just smashed it blindly
forwards. Then one two and through ball with the two strikers.
Player switching was just about good enough to keep up (but will
it be once the weekend league starts?). The problem was that
eventually a ball will just go straight through a defender or a
tackle will just bounce back to him and leave you exposed. Or
even worse your defender does the auto lunge animation
(unfortunately still happens) which takes the defender out the
game and allows a 90 pace striker a clear run. The guy did it
every time without fail. Two of the goals came from tackles
going straight back to him, and one was a ridiculous header from
a corner that my keeper made a joke attempt at saving.
Have been enjoying absolutely destroying people that are still
trying to defend as though they are playing FIFA 17. Luckily for
me, I am still defending actually the same way as I've always
done, but I still have me reservations about how bad the game
could go once the cheap tactics are known.

Decided to play Seasons last night - know it's not the best to
validate/confirm/judge the quality of opposition. Won the D10
title after the 4/5 wins (or whatever is required) with 1 game
quitting due to the idiot pausing twice before kick-off. Don't
get it, but moved along swiftly.
What I am finding interesting is that people obviously have
their coin boosts, so ain't quitting. Bit tedious at times as
you can see them getting plenty frustrated.
One thing I did notice ... with loanee Aubamatwat in abundance,
who sits out on the left wing spot at kick-off - pass back to
CAM, driven pass wide and away the hare goes ... ! Conceded
twice last night against this one twat who must've watched some
YT-er already creating these 'cheats'. Doesn't take long.

It's the same as ever, the first couple of days all is good,
quite fun, as neither you or your opponent has a clue what
they're doing. Then the usual crappy Premier League pace teams
start turning up, the same constantly spammed crap over and over
again. Driven pass forward as quickly as possible to pacey
striker, lay it off backwards and forwards to LF/RF, spam
through ball and eventually you are through on goal. Then driven
shot or cutback. If that doesn't work then just wait to be
tackled and either get the ball straight back or just run
straight through the defender and the ball just bounces
perfectly to keep on running. The amount of joke goals seems
even higher than usual.
Probably the same as I was saying last year at this time; so
many good improvements, but the same idiotic, bad programmed
nonsense a second away from happening at all times.
Penalties where a player no where near the ball you are not even
controlling apparently gives away a penalty as the ball is being
cleared. Yep, had that happen twice. Opponent aimlessly smashes
a lob through ball from their own half, only for your keeper for
no reason at all to sprint out his area, under the bouncing ball
AND keep going even after you opponent gets the ball a few
seconds later. Yep, had that in my final game of the night.
(luckily I was 4-0 up at the time and IF Locadia ended up
scoring five past his Musa led Fifa 17 team).
There's so much dodgy stuff that EA won't fix no doubt but will
break more or change stuff that doesn't need changing with an
inevitable patch. OTW tomorrow so no doubt all the people buying
the standard version will kill the servers and we can throw that
into the mix as well!
