had an idea on the way home... setting up forum leagues are notoriously doomed to failure and cup formats dont last much longer.

i was thinking of maybe some sort of ladder format and thought i'd see if there was any interest? if there is, we could take sign ups from now to release - draw names out of a hat to sort the order of the ladder then say you can challenge people 3 places above you to take their spot, then after a week if they dont answer your challenge you move up anyway

that way when some people lose interest they drop to the bottom and we get shot of them, then the active players can carry on


obviously some thought into the rules and tweaks if there is interest but firstly if anyone is interesting in doing it on the xbox i can look after it?

A nice little thing I noticed when I had the ball on the edge of the opposition area with Abate (Milan fullback), I cut inside the defender with my right foot and then away from another defenders lunge with my left. It all looked really neat and all on the left analogue too. It was exactly what I wanted to do.


Anyone else finding the AI quite tough to breakdown and beat? Won my first game 1-0 (Juve - Dortmund) thanks to a clever counter attack by Giovinco but the second game I played against Arsenal I got my arse handed to me in the first half, going down 3-0 through sloppy defending.


Seems excellent thus far though.

theres a player for dortmund who has an awful first touch and keeps punting the ball 5 yards in front of him... playing league1/2 will be...interesting

all the shots seem underpowered to me, even left triggers just arent moving the ball quickly, especially outside the box. be interesting to see if it suddenly speeds up when you get players like gerrard with shot power ratings in the 90s

in 12 this would have been belted in, although i suppose a backheel should be less powerful but it seems to have toned down everything:

later on this happened in the same game, i was pissing myself laughing as I was city :D

supposed to be on PSN between 10pm and 2am. Looks like 1.59am more than likely, unless the store updates at midnight?

Scored from the halfway line with Kevin Prince after the keeper had come off his line to clear the ball, lol! :cool:

Really enjoying the demo, very neat touches.

Change the sliders to suit your game, ie increasing shot speed.

Had to play on the complete beginner setting to start winning comfortably against the computer. I R NOOB.

Just getting used to it as I've never really played Fifa for more than a couple weeks before selling it when COD comes out. :eek:

That's cheating :(

Hardly, if it is, you're only cheating yourself as you can't adjust them for online, IIRC.

It's catering for your own setup. I adjusted the sliders on F12 and it was a much better experience, slowing the acceleration and speed down of my players and increasing passing error for the AI etc. Was loads better. Obviously making shot power, speed etc 100 and reducing the AI's stats is hardly fair, but if you do that there's little point in playing in the first place, unless you're achievement/trophy hunting.
 
Lol.

The AI seems to attack more on this version though. On 12 they'd just pass sideways but now they attack (and score).

Skill games are super addictive. I think I'll be playing those more than anything else. And having tantrums when I don't get the required score.

Last year I cheated to get my pro up to speed ASAP but with online copies there won't be any point.

I want to play the game how it was intended and when it comes out I'll be 99% online so might as well learn

Lol. They don't even tackle. Just a slight dip of the shoulder and keep running and they just let you go.

In fairness on expert you can hold left trigger and roll the ball to the side to beat the full backs without much problem 9 times out of 10

I lost 2 goals in the only game I played, both they ran up the wing then squared it across the box.

Bawbags scoring s**t goals.

The long/lobbed pass skill game is awesome. Spent about 15mins on it before a match, lol!
