reading these makes me think why bother have played all of 2
games online and quit both, the game is an utter mess. thank god
for SB's cause i would be returning the game otherwise.

finishing E2/E3 with no issues, true the rewards are not as good
but they are rewards all the same. Even been playing on a 2nd
account (only to get transfer access as the lad running that BOT
is building a new want to trial it) which i have been using a
liga NOS discard team play 12 games rotating and sell up and buy
back got to G1 with 8 to play can't be arsed to do anymore now.

Got to Gold 3 with 5 games to spare, but the motivation to play
it any more was non existent. The state of the game now is
probably the most broken they've ever allowed it to become.
Well, maybe that's a bit unfair. They have a proper offline
mode, sbc's updating regularly (although I'm being very
selective over these at the moment. A lot of them are not worth
the value of the players needed and with no rewards yet, my club
is not flush with players yet), it's online gameplay where the
problems are. We've had some awful stuff before such as the KSI
kick off that we learnt to deal with for the most part, but this
is different.
Literally everything that was bad last year is magnified, but
now there through balls are just a joke. Probably over 80% of my
games were spent dealing with the exact form of attack literally
all game. And since the patch, the AI defending is back so park
the bus is back also. There's been games where the opponents
have a 50 yard gap between there attack and the other 8 players.
When you try to play football against it, your midfield
naturally push up, so its just a big no mans land in the middle
of the pitch. You lose the ball, and it's an instant driven pass
forward and one two through ball. The game has just turned into
a complete joke.
Once games start being released in the run up to Christmas like
CoD, I can see a lot of people leaving this unless they do
something. This is going to be the year that they totally mess
it up without doubt.
Last year, I believe that one person got 40-0 over both
consoles. This year, there were 25 on PS4 hours ago. Apparently
if you bring up the dashboard and go into a party, it
disconnects the game without penalty. Works on both consoles.
State of this game!

Yeah BB ... not the best of times.
I must get my head into the offline Squad Battles actually! Did
a few and could see that it (AI) wasn't as bad as last
year/previous editions.
... and Damn! Did not even know there was a glitch already. Just
so typical though - not that EA 'allows' it, but that YT'ers are
onto crap like this so easily. And yeah, blame EA too for simply
allowing 180 deg driven passes/ through balls like that.

Well gents. My initial enjoyment of the game came to a
shuddering halt with the advent of weekend league
Pre patch, great. Shrug off the EA sponsored bull$hit and keep
moving on. Post patch, or as I like to call it, the 'EA script
patch for those who are crap at the game so we'll give them a
fighting chance patch' total revert back to FIFA 17. Why EA,
why??
Anyways, weekend league. Started off all positive and excited.
4-1 start. Not bad, could this be the breakout year? Nah.
Quickly through the surge of brown stuff, back to level par
(5-5). Sick as F###
This became 7-10. Vomit inducing some of the absolute garbage of
KO glitch, 45th + 10min goals and likewise 90th min. It amazes
me that no one at EA who plays this can not see the massive
chunk of time that gets added onto the ends of halves and
address it.
Back to my Alex Hunter.. I preceded, although playing well, to
lose the next 9 on the spin. Quite how my controller, Console
or TV survived that run I'll never know. Good job the kids were
out too. Surprised the neighbours didn't call the police. the
amount of colourful language being used at increasing volume
throughout yesterday afternoon ;D
Actually then won a couple after a bit of a break. (9-19).
Worst record ever in champs. 12 games to go. After another
break for food, came back to finish this nightmare. Lost
(9-20). Just about crying at this point. Put the kids to bed
and sat in the chair dumbfounded. Did a few gold UG sbc's and a
few SQB to feel whats its like to win again.
Prior to starting champs, I had a positive record by about 20 or
so. Not really a record watcher, but it was nice to have
something which after a poor start last year I didn't think id
have again. Slowly watching this dwindle away almost sucked the
life out of me. Changed from my tried and trusted 4312 and went
4321, a formation I just couldn't make work previously. My
front 3 off chem which just irritates me. Messed on with custom
tactics (which I think is purely a placebo) and took out my 2
defensive midfielders for more attack minded ones with the 'f###
it' attitude......
Won the next 8 in a row (17-20) :o Game felt fluid. Players
were pressing to get the ball back. Constant never say die
attitude. Even playing what I would call good players, I was
getting the rub of the green in all games. Pen shootouts, last
min, whatever BS had happened to me prior was now going for me.
I felt genuinely sorry for those who I was playing. Then lost 1
in an epic proper football game. No EA BS, just good football.
Messaged the guy thanking him for the best game this weekend
(17-21).
Next up a solid Bundes team with messers Werner, Bellerabi and
OTW Yarmalenko up top. down 2-1 deep in the 80+ min. Took off
Jesus for Ibra, all out attack. Scramble one home in the 89th
from a corner. We share one each in ET and are down to pens.
I miss one of the first 5, he has his final kick to win. Saves.
This happens a couple times more in sudden death. We get to go
round again, and finally I win 10-9.... the scenes :o :o :o The
impossible magic 18.
Great 'story'. And there in lies the problem for us FUT mortals.
Outside of the pros, the game feels like a total movie script,
sucking you in, spitting you out with the grand finale of the
redemption or the hero falling on his sword bittersweet ending.
Mad, mad game..... On to next week :P

LOL Simmo ... good cry & a chuckle, mate!
Fortunately you had a fairy tale ending ... not so on my side.
After my last quit on Sunday night, I had to win 2 from 2.
First up was a familiar guy that seems to grind out wins against
me - all the time. Was kinda chuffed I ran out 5-3 winners. Last
game - another tough one - ping pong stuff and it's 4-3 to me.
Thinking this could be it ... 90th minute, my CB's clearance is
woeful and straight to his attacker - goal. Concede in ET to a
CB header - not headed away, but a glancing, pathetic little
dink that drops to his striker.
So, yep ... totally agree that this is indeed a movie script.
For me it was ... a "nervous start working out the drama" (3-7),
"getting back on track" (11-5), and then the "horror story
finale" (3-11).
Absolute laughable stuff!

I had the same. Was 4-7, then won 6 in a row, ended up losing a
load, then win two or three in a row to get to 18.

Ok ... Daily Tournament ...
Decided to build 2 nondescript teams - a full Calcio A and a
full La Liga side. Strikers for were Belotti and Icardi, and
Aduriz with Gameiro in the other. Tried to use non of the OP,
expensive players I have.
Pretty horrible!
Could not get anything going. Although, the one standout is
Belotti ... his WF ... oh my freakin' word!!! It's one of those
where I actually force him to take shots on his left. Crazy
stuff.
After 3 quits in a row (1st round, 1st round, 2nd round), I
switched to the OP team with Neymar/Mbappe up top. Won in at a
canter ... too easy. THAT PACE :o :o! So sad that it dictates
this game.
Did end up continuing in Seasons with the Calc A/La Liga teams
and they did get better. So, maybe it was my daftness trying
new teams out in the DKT!

Not too well today (flu from one of the kids). Tired of lying
down so sitting here at the PC, streaming the Xbox and thought
I'd watch some "CHAMPIONS CHANNEL" ... or Channel of Champions
... or whatever-the-heck-they-call-it.
Saw Huge Gorilla got his 40 wins - so watched a game of his vs
an opponent that got 37 wins.
This was Gorilla's team:

Went to FUTBIN ... a cool 19.6M on Xbox (15.8M on PS) ... and
just for laughs - 30.7M on PC :o :o :o!
During the match he also subbed on a 91 Ronaldinho - another
3.9M / 3M / 7M.
Freakin' crazy team that ... 1 week into FUT. I know he's a pro,
but how boring must it be to have that team already - nothing to
really look forward to. Guess it's the "life of a pro", hey.

Crazy team but moreover a crazy amount of coins.
I am almost at a level with coins that I can buy Van Basten.
Hero! Gullit is so expensive....
