Currently in the 9th round of fantasy draft out of 24 I believe. Should be done around 915 CST I'd guess.
Still got about 10 rounds left, but I will get on and just try to put all the guys I want in my queue so it doesn't distract me from FIFA'in. Getting on now.
So last night was pretty depressing. Teams computer defense blew me away and I just can't stop thinking custom tactics has everything to do with it. So I started reading some forums and came across quite a lot of info. Now I'm not shocked our computer players look completely retards compared to other teams. The best advice given is to find the best tactics for your formation and style. I created one that I think will fit us well. like I said tons and tons of teams use them so hopefully we can get an advantage also
Sorry I didn't get online last night. The first couple responses to my post didn't seem too promising then I didn't check back in the thread later that night. I should be able to play tonight, though, if you guys are going to be online.
I based it on alot of advice on forums and pre set custom tactics for certain formations and styles. Since we like our defenders to actually be aggressive and make a tackle....you must make the position of the defense deeper and narrow. Almost as if they draw them in and then pounce. For example...that team we played 4 times...everytime we got the ball anywhere around the box...they had guys swarm all over us. Also since our style is we want the computer players to give it to us as fast as possible(we dont have alot of patience not calling for the ball) then having them position for shorter passes rather them run away from us for deep runs fits us better. Here is the settings I have: Our Custom Tactics: Speed: 35 (not about how fast the computer plays ..but more having to do with how forward they make the passes and runs. We want to control the ball as quickly as possible from computer..so better to have quicker shorter passes so we can make the runs and passes) Pass Distance: 65 Positioning: Free Form Pass Risk 65 Crossing 50 Shooting 30 Free Form Pressure 35 (Deeper the better with a high aggression Aggression 70 ( suggested you never want to go over 75 here because they actually stop going all out aggressive they just become out of place and worthless) Team Width 35 (brings in a more narrow approach and forces them outside. Since most teams rely on that turn and shoot approach rather than crossing it...with a deep defense this will clutter the middle which is what we usually hate to face. Cover Also if we want to try out Chelsea's realistic tactics for fun it would be(from a site that took all club teams and made realistic custom tactics to how they play: 5 20 Free 50 40 55 Free 80 55 50 Offside There is no doubt in my mind most elite clubs have perfected the custom tactics and that we have been rolling with the retard default fifa tactics. Also anyone that wants to look at this great guide to tactics and how they work for your clubs strategy check out this site: http://www.halin.co.uk/fifa/understandingcustomtactics.html
go to your edit teams menu and go to US international team and change custom tactics....you can then put your custom tactics in your quick tactics(which is where u press the arrow of whatever tactic u want in the game)
Yep. I took out USA Default and something else, can't remember. But I left counter attack and high pressure as my other two quick tactics. I will update these before I play tonight.
Yea same here high pressure and counter are a good 2 to keep with the others being custom tactics. Everyone that is usually captain at some point should update just in case captain gets booted in game also
Really everyone should do it because I'm typically captain and I get booted a lot and it all just depends on who ends up being the red icon (I think) that gets the captain if I get booted.
Speed: 35 (not about how fast the computer plays ..but more having to do with how forward they make the passes and runs. We want to control the ball as quickly as possible from computer..so better to have quicker shorter passes so we can make the runs and passes) Pass Distance: 65 Positioning: Free Form Pass Risk 65 Crossing 50 Shooting 30 Free Form Pressure 35 (Deeper the better with a high aggression Aggression 70 ( suggested you never want to go over 75 here because they actually stop going all out aggressive they just become out of place and worthless) Team Width 35 (brings in a more narrow approach and forces them outside. Since most teams rely on that turn and shoot approach rather than crossing it...with a deep defense this will clutter the middle which is what we usually hate to face. Cover Just go to the US. Go to their tactics, go on anyone one of the tactics and edit them. Create those settings. Hit Square to save those settings, it'll be named US Custom whatever. Then go to quick tactics and replace one of the tactics with that custom tactic and you are good to go.
I'll wait to see how the custom tactics work out before I go through the hassle of editing that shit. Also, I can play now...
Yea and the great thing about it is now that we are familiar with what each tactic does...we can adjust depending on what we see we want differently
[user]dray10__AF[/user] [user]clemsontyger04[/user] Can you guys play now. [user]GBG_24[/user] Said he is ready to play and I can play now as well.
Servers down. Good run fellas. Think we went 7-1-0 if they count that last game. Maybe 8-1-0 don't remember for sure. No losses though
I just checked, you guys got credited with a 3-0 loss for the last game of the night you tried playing after I got offline
Guys, root for Kansas on Saturday. I will get $100 from the nog bracket, and it will fund my new PS3.
Hey guys pull for OSU. I will win my bracket and get $200...send 100$ to Arrec and use the other $100 to buy tiger woods and some beer.
We lost points???? We were killing them about to score again and we lose points...god I hate EA. GB ur return was glorious....but everyone's eyes are now open to our computer players actually playing soccer instead of running around jacking off. We got the 49ers defense out there!
Damn this is crazy. We got big implications on the Kansas vs Osu game. I was only one to pick Osu in championship game losing to Kentucky...but all I need is the points from Osu and I win
