Playing this guy online in seasons mode and scored this goal. Joe Allen made the pass and absolutely worked this guy all game. I only got 2 goals, but I was passing around him like it was nothing in the midfield, he kept cursing over his mic too lol.

How fun is Fifa online for 360? I have only played Fifa online once in my life ... vs Marcus Stephenson. He was a great Fifa player and kicked my ass.

In my BAP mode, Monaco sent my ass out on loan to another 2nd division French team.

In my MM, I starting out with Sheffield United. Had a 2 mil budget, and 1.3 of that went to DC United for Bill Hamid. They have a very good team the way it is. So a keeper was a decent investment. Also, loaned in Nick Powell from United, and some Frenchy LB.

The learning curve would be steep for you then. You'd probably lose very often online. If you got the game, I'd recommend playing against the CPU for awhile until you got the timing, controls and all that down.

I've played offline a ton of times ... but not FIFA 13.

Any way to increase the number of fouls? I've seen maybe 5 free kicks over the 15+ games I've played.

What the fuck FIFA!?!?

So we're playing some ultimate team, one more game left in our season, try to play a game, get disconnected at the pre-match screen, go back into FUT and it we've mysteriously finished our season with a loss. We're annoyed obviously but whatever. We get on with it and play our next game, it finishes 0-0 then we immediately get disconnected again.

We get no coins, a loss, and this screen:

Nice goal! I knew it was coming once I saw the layout of the players lol. But great strike!

lost 1-0 (got scored on in extra time during the 2nd extra period) to a guy who got 3 red cards. it was hilarious and i am glad he won. i think he got reds at around 30' 60' and 80'. we played 3 rematches and i beat him twice and he won the last so he wasn't amazing or anything. i love how you can get blown out 5-0 and then beat the same person in a hard fought 1-0 match followed by a 4-3 match. just love it

Bought this game today for the 360. Great fun. I suck at it, but it's still fun.

I know nothing about soccer, other than kick the ball in the net and Rooney.

I'd guess I know about 1/100th of the things you can do with the controller in this game.

This is my 2nd year playing and I still don't know anything.

I have ZERO stick skills.

I play on professional most of the time, the level below when I want to win LOL


This year I told myself that I was going to play more season and BAP mode and not play much Ultimate Team.

Well, I started playing UT earlier and its going to suck me in again, especially when I constantly see friends activities while I'm playing.

Anyone use manual controls?

I have been playing with all manual since FIFA 12. I find against the CPU it makes the game much easier. However when I play online I usually put the settings back to assist otherwise I just get pissed when the opponents passes and shots are never off target because they have it set to assist or auto. Meanwhile I'm rocking the manual and fucking up here and there (which I believe is realistic), so to make it fair play I turn it back to assist online....unless I know my opponent is playing with manual as well.

Really have to give credit to EA for the attacking AI in this game. Makes it so much more enjoyable to play.
