FIFA 12

EA can afford it. I'm sure they'll fix the above.

[nakamura]

I am no dev but patches take time and money. Also aren't they limited to what they can change each year?

[hudson]

Surely it's not impossible to make a game non-exploit tight?

[nakamura]

Because they always seem to find some way of exploiting the game. I know they make a lot and all that but it never seems to get any better.

[hudson]

I don't think we will ever stop the cheats.

Eh? How come? EA should be on standyby and fix problems as they arise. Especially as they make gazillions off us.

[nakamura]

EA are assessing the back button thing and may well remove it altogether. I think the UT stuff is being sorted too.

Horrid glitch exploit in UT



Also, people are abusing the SELECT/BACK button in ranked online H2H games. Pressing these buttons will enable you to control the keeper leaving the defending (tactical) to your AI

[nakamura]

Back on clubs last night. It's ace.

It generally is but the defending is so hard against faster pros. I hope the any players improve at a decent rate.

[ExtremePabs]

I have exactly the same issues as last year can't play H2H matches as ea server connection drops everytime when downloading the roster update. EA are crap!
I never have issues with online gaming apart from fifa 11 and 12
Utter rubbish!

[ETC]

having played fifa 11 a lot i thought this would be pretty easy to start playing so being the cocky so an so i am put it straight on world class and got my arse completely handed to me, that defending is totally new (and bloody hard) back to learning the basics anyone on here tried ultimate team yet bloody good fun had me up till past 2 this morning

[hudson]

Yeah, I was being dumb there. The old second pressure.

Back on clubs last night. It's ace.

What's 'team contain'?

"Team contain" is in the tutorial if you look. Its basicaly when both you and another player contain someone. So really its a "two person contain", not a team one.

[Stoppy2000]

Played 2 matches so far - its bloody ace. Love it.

What's 'team contain'?

[MarioMark]

Why is everyone writing off 'contain' as being useless? Use it on the wings in combination with jockey and your defender tracks anyone trying to twist and turn their way past you - then just release it when you're close enough to tackle.

Yeah I've been using 'team contain'. While my AI players try for the tackle I use the player I control to man mark the nearest forward player without the ball, it forces the opposition to make a defensive pass instead.
