FIFA 18

[iesty wfc]

overhaul needed in manager mode too.... fed up of having to scout players. used to be so much easier to look for players as you just put in an attribute range and viola

also it annoys me that you cant look at national teams when in the transfer market. yes their domestic teams may not be in the game but there should be an option to sign them somehow

 

[Stevencc]

I know it isn't quite the same but I just do my scouting on here...

...and bid for the players I want.

My most recent career save is with Juve where I bought Mata, Romagnoli, Fekir, Fontas, Grimaldo and Asensio in my first window to give myself these two squads...

Buffon
Barzagli Bonucci Chiellini
Alves Pjanic Khedira Sandro
Mata
Dybala Higuain

Neto
Benatia Fontas Romagnoli
Lichtsteiner Lemina Marchisio Grimaldo
Asensio
Fekir Mandzukic​

Can search by nationality/name at least

Like Stevenc I use a site for career mode too but I use www.sofifa.com instead

Agree with Renegade, sofifa.com is better.

I've got 3 main saves now, one with Barcelona in the Premier League (as well as Real and Atletico) in November 2021, one with Cork City in the Premier League (relegated on goal difference) in September 2017, and a new one with SK Brann where I'm trying to spend 1-2 seasons per club before moving on to a new one.

My Barcelona squad is the only one that's changed a lot, here it is:

Lafont (88)
Weiser (85) Christensen (88) Sule (87) Shaw (90)
Pogba (94)
Kovalenko (88) Martial (90)
Messi (84) Jesus (86) Neymar (95)

Notable subs are Mbappe (87), Lemos (87), Casemiro (87), and Foley (81, 20 years old, signed for 5m from Luton 2 years ago)

[epic73]

It is.

 

[HarvSFC]

It is.

You called him Renegade, chump.

 

[Stevencc]

Epic is that obsessed with pretending that he is Irish that he now only talks to Irish people, or people that he pretends are Irish people even when they are not.

 

[Renegade]

Don't worry mate, everyone thinks you're my second account. It wouldn't happen if you didn't copy my sweet, sweet style.

 

[epic73]

You called him Renegade, chump.

I realized that. Way too late.

Looks like icons now have 3 different versions of them. Different versions with ratings and positions for their different years of their careers.

Also Ronaldinho icon.

 

[epic73]

Meh.

 

[HarvSFC]

Great, about time they announced Ronaldinho. Now if they could release more please.

 

[epic73]

And give Henry and Maradona the 99 handling they deserve.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

What a pointless feature.

 

[footballhead]

I'm just excited for Alex Hunter round 2.

I am too actually. There's supposed to be more freedom in decision making when it comes to which club Hunter goes too. Also, more customization tools. Hope they are not only big with words and there are actual changes. First part felt way too scripted.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Crowds given personality. EA really addressing the big issues then.

 

[HarvSFC]

Aren't crowds given "more personality" each year now?

 

[Red]

I'm told GKs will not be able to leave their box in drop in games. That should cut down the general fuckwittery and games abandoned due to these dickheads.

 

[Relentless]

Demo's out today, presumably at 6pm

Some more icons got revealed, returning ones anyway. Looks like there's a bunch who aren't returning though. So I'll never get to play using Zola

Futwiz are posting some of the new stats. I usually go with either Portuguese or Turkish league for my starting squad and Tiquinho Soares at Porto looks pretty damn good for the start.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Played the UT beta and thought it was shite. Had a blast on the Pro Evo demo though.

 

[Benji]

The gameplay seems to be near enough identical except for a tiny change in dribbling. Having second thoughts about getting this brand new.

 

[epic73]

Gonna be playing the demo in about 10 hours, game looks pretty good overall.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

It looks mediocre as fuck.

 

[Relentless]

I thought it was probably the best it's been in a long time

I'm pleased that defending is a little more involved, but some of the defensive positioning from the AI is spectacular - get forward, press triangle = goal. Passing is still far too easy, 30 yard 180 pass? No problem. Keepers are dreadful.

Additionally Weekend League is still over a stupid time frame and it doesn't look like there's any change to position cards ffs.

Mic drop

 

[epic73]

Ouch.

 

[epic73]

Played 4 matches, Di Maria is very very bad and Cavani is pretty bad too. Lukaku is good and Ronaldo is way better than anyone else.

 

[Relentless]

FUT Web apps up

Got 2 gold packs and 4 all player packs for returning. Played like 2000+ games last year and been playing for years, fuckoff with that as a reward
