Fifa 16 (1 Viewer)

Just added Armstrong to my ultimate team. He is absolutely awesome, well above his card value. Just won the champions cup with him bagging 5 across all legs.

Any other tips of cheap good players from English leagues?

Are we back to overall scores for players now? Really pissed me off when they scrapped them for '14.

Heskey is a beast!

What is the Ultimate Team?

I haven't bought FIFA for years, want to get this years though.

I don't understand the packs etc? Reminds me of the panini sticker albums, and I'll get 11 Gary Breens in my ultimate team pack

 

[Nick]

It is a bit like that, you basically build your own team and play against other players for coins etc. If you get a pack you get a pack of say gold players where you could get some decent players (if not you sell them).

 

[Nick]

Kekuta Manneh is decent for me!

It's an EA cash cow, and the one thing I dislike about FIFA.

Basically a card collection competition of who can spend the most real money, in a game.

I don't usually stick to it, I usually play for a month or so then get bored

I've never spent any real money on it though.

Fifa a game I've always bought and only ever used Coventry in seasons. I've never tried anything else

Is there a deal anywhere? Spend 50 quid in Tescos get 10 off the game?

It's £42 in Tesco on PS4/Xbox.

There was an offer of £35 if you buy xbox points or something.

 

[ccfc92]

Out of interest, does anyone buy games like FIFA, COD on PC?

Just can't imagine playing them on a computer.

PC games are strictly FM, Age of Empires, Total War games etc for me

Playstation for FIFA, COD etc.

Anyone fancy a game on ps4? Add me - SennaMK

£35 Sainsburys with a £30/40 grocery shop is the best deal.

Tesco only did a deal when bought with Live/Points.

 

[Covfather]

Yep £35 if u spend £30 at Sainsburys

Early impressions of this aren't great, control-wise it feels like it's just guessing what you're telling it to do at times.

 

[covcity4life]

same as most fifas for me 6/10

 

[Nick]

Getting into it a bit more now, got the hang of building up to score which is different to 15 as you need to be more patient. Tackling took a while to get used to as well.

 

[Nathccfc]

I have to agree Nick, I have to concentrate more and build up my play before scoring! It's a nice challenge actually!

So, your keeper can't be your top scorer with 20+ goals a season anymore, with dribbles from box to box?

Depends if you have them taking pens.

I do. PC graphics all the way, can't stand consoles and the last one I owned was an original Xbox.
I'd also refuse to buy things like xBox live and all that crap.

Buying a controller was the best investment I made in my PC. Allows me to play Fifa and some other games much easier. That said, FPS games are so much easier with a mouse.
PC also has perks like playing Beta's and not being dropped after 4 years.


So yeah, if anyone else plays FIFA on the PC, give me a shout. I mostly stick to the online pro with a few [Spanish] friends.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Just me or have goalkeepers improved vastly?

 

[Nick]

I.think good ones are better and you can tell awful ones!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

This is the best FIFA yet IMO. Actually feels like a football game rather than an arcade game. Pace has been nullified too.

 

[Nathccfc]

I like the fact that you have to concentrate to play and that you can't just go and score. You have to pass and move and think about it

 

[Nick]

Ultimate Team is a bit strange online, every season I hammer the first 4 or 5 games until I need a win for promotion. Then all of a sudden I get hammered in return and have to scrape through with draws or the odd win.

 

[ajsccfc]

Had a bigger go on this yesterday while off sick, I think the update has evened the gameplay out a little as it was a lot better than my first few goes. It still feels too loose and accidental at times, but I haven't been enraged by it like I was 15 yet.

 

[skybluedan]

I'm getting into it a lot more now the passes still sometimes a bit shit in the way little tap of the button and it don't go to your closest player and will go long and gets intervened but yeah it's getting better

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Is Joe Cole at City yet?

 

[Frostie]

Is Joe Cole at City yet?

Friday

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Friday

He's there for me now. On the bench in default team selection

 

[Frostie]

Apologies, you are right, forgot there had been a midweek update.

 

[ccfc92]

Bought it last night after the Cov game

I do love it, but can't quite work out what's wrong with it. Like some have said, it feels accidental at times.

Idk if it's coincidence, but I was playing FIFA 12 (yes I know :facepalm on professional difficulty, and struggled, yet playing on FIFA 16 on professional difficulty, I find it quite easy to win?

I'm playing it on PS3 though, so idk if anyone else has it on ps3?

 

[Frostie]

Great to see all the young 'uns included, even Bassala Sambou is on there now.
