Fifa 12

This game is completely scripted its pathetic. Had a record of 29-7-11 in h2h seasons coming into tonight and was 8-2-0 last ten. First game I'm playing with Chelsea as usual and playing against ManU. I'm up 3-0 after 18 minutes and I'm destroying the opponent. All of a sudden my players lose half their speed, can't make simple passes, and can't shoot on target even though I'm aimed directly at goal, not to mention Danny Welbeck reincarnates into Diego Maradona. I lose the game 4-3 and don't even get 5 more shots on goal (I had 11 after 18 minutes).

I played 4 more games and lost every single one and during each game this bull**** kept repeating itself over and over. I would have 15-20 shots around 8-13 on target each game and wouldn't score, yet my opponent would hit a dribbler straight on the ground and score under my goalie every time from 10-20 yards outs. Drogba couldnt even put one on target from 10 yards away and i was getting scores on by the likes of Pique, Lucio, Welbeck, and Pirlo like they were Messi or Ronaldo.

I've lost all respect for EA and it's bull**** momentum system, it makes the game completely unplayable and what's the point of even playing these games if the outcome is already decided? I went from being 29-7-11 to 29-7-16 in one night and only managed to score 5 goals and allowed around 3.5 a game. This is honestly the most frustrating video game, because even if you are better than the opponent, if the "momentum system" doesn't want you to win you won't. **** that bull**** what a piece of ****.

I know what you mean. It seems like I score half my goals at half and full time, and I know when the CPU is going to go into beast mode. I tend to try and really slow the pace, makes it so I only pick up a goal or two, but once the 80-85' rolls around, I play the strikers really far back and cut the pace loose on defense (but careful not to set it to overly aggressive). It makes for some real nail-biters, and I even find myself sweating it out against inferior teams, but it can work.

The momentum swings in minutes 85-90 is pretty ridiculous. I've scored so many goals and been scored against in those minutes. Being able to possess the ball really well if very good at preventing these type of things late in the game.
 
Honestly I'm kind of a freak for this game and it isnt that hard once you have found you're weaknesses. For example if you are really bad at defense play a 5-2-1-2 and it should help. I made it to division 1 but I'm struggling there. I would recommend being teams with speed bc speed kills in this game. For beginners look into finess shots and usin r1 or the right bumber on defense to bring an extra defender. It is very hard to get scored on if u use r1 with 5 defenders on the field. Use r1 and let ur defender be up on the guy with the ball and play back an imtercept passes. If ur having trouble shooting try sending in balls from outside for headers.
 
Wonder why 45th and 90 min goals are prevalent? They last +2,+3,+4. Custom tactics and possession should be enough to win a game with a 3-0 lead. Being multiple is a must.

When it's close, I also like to change formations late. I can't recall ever using more than one sub before the 75' except in the case of an injury.

Tutorial for how to cheese ladies and gentlemen.
 
No, only if I get hit with a two on one, but 99% of the time I just blip it because it seems to hand off to other defenders more smoothly if I'm really trying to hold shape.
 
My point was more asking how it's cheese... It's not like a glitch that wound up in the game. It's a specific function with an assigned button.
 
Running 5 defenders all game is cheese. Every person I've ever played who does that plays the game like a ****ing child.
 
I still fail to see how it's cheese. One, I was talking about it in the context of momentum swings (which we all know does happen and allows the cpu some cheap goals)

Even still it's nowhere near the advantage you get from running a 3-3-5 or quarters in NCAA or whatever
 
Most helpful thing is to edit your custom formation and make sure your defenders don't have a their work rate on defense set to low. I edit all mine and make my CB's have a low offensive WR an a high defensive WR, RB and LB have same except their offensive is medium. Rest would be too long to post but this really helps. No more having one CB back on the counter attack and playing out of position.
 
Meh... I really like running my offense through wingbacks. Plus I cheated and made my virtual pro really good at crossing. :)
 
it may or may not be cheese but if u are looking for ways to get better those are some ways. I dont use 5 defenders personally or r1 excessively

I did the same, but I really don't consider it cheating when you basically have to do it to keep up online and have your VP worth a shat.
 
isn't it really difficult to score running a 5 man def?
