Anyone else lose their mind everytime you see your players standing still, watching a loose ball instead of moving toward it? And when the opposition clears the ball from their 18 toward the halfway line and your players are still running into the box, completely oblivious that it's been cleared?

I mean, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, it's been this way for several versions. How on earth has this not been addressed? I should make a compilation of the nonsense I've seen.

Anyone else experience this? Have a fix??

It hasn't been fixed because EA only cares about releasing a new version every year on the dot and knows you will buy it even if it's not a polished product.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for those sweet, sweet goal celebrations. And a sadist.

shite like that drives me insane. I started off my 2nd season with Portsmouth on an absolute TEAR...then the wheels fell off and I found my team getting blanked 1-0 by the team at the bottom of the table. Made some more moves in the winter transfer window to hopefully right the ship. I had numerous offers for my 66 OVR LM in the summer window but they came late and I wouldn't have had time to search for a buy a suitable replacement. So I declined all the offers. Over the 1st half of the season, I scouted some LMs and had a few targets picked out. Of course the winter window comes and I get ZERO offers on the LM this go around.

The amount of transfer offers I get for my players each window is super schizophrenic.

I'm quite sad to not get loan offers on my 70+ rated younger players.

It feels like teams are avoiding loans. I wish I could initiate loans like you can player swaps (as I have been doing with Sheffield United for my youth squad scraps.

How are you arranging player swaps? Offer to buy and just give them a player as payment? Yeah you would think people would want to take a 72 rated 17 year old centerback on loan for 10k per week wages I'm pretty sure the loan system is quasi broken as some players keep coming back with no improvement, while others improve greatly.

Exactly. I sometimes add some cash to ensure the other club takes it.

it sucks when you do manager mode with a lower league side you have to play on a easy setting bc you stand no chance.

I had to start on professional when I started with Leicester. It's hard to play premier league teams when some of your best players are ranked in the 60s.

I'm still on Professional. Just not good enough to move. I do try to play a lot of my bench and use my subs. Don't want to end up with Rooney and Lukaku having 30+ goals each.

I had to play my first three seasons on professional before I felt like 1. I had a team that could compete and 2. I was good enough to compete.

Now imagine a League One club that you get to the premier league.

My best players are T Boyd, James Wilson and Scottish Messi at 70.

Anybody been using the Web App to collect EA's free gifts? I actually got some decent pulls to make a second ultimate team (haven't really played much on it at all). My buddy packed inform Griezmann. My best pulls were Varane/Valencia/Matic/etc

I just got the game a couple of weeks ago and wanted to play a decent amount of matches before making a judgement and looking at this thread.

Without reading through the whole thing is everyone in agreement this is arguably the worst FIFA ever?

Yeah I think it's pretty solid actually. I play 360. I only buy fifa every few years and have had a lot of fun with this iteration. The last one I bought was in 2011 or so.
