re: FIFA 17 Thread

Just wanna say I fricking hate ea sports. I'm in division 4, and for the second time in as many games have outshot my opponent 16-6. I've lost 1-0 and 2-1. What pisses me off the most is that there's been 2 ping pong loose ball in the box goals off corners and a half volley goal from 30 yards, meanwhile in clunking it off the post from 6 yards out and having the keeper make saves when I'm 2 on 1 with him. Like at least try to fricking hide it, don't decide the game prior to kickoff

Yes I am mad online

anybody noticed keepers going full retard more than normal the last few days? I DVR'd like 4 different scenes in 2 games today that had my laughing uncontrollably

I had a button lag clearance/shot from my side of midfield today playing against chelsea in a seasons cup match and Courtois came all the way out to the top of the penalty area and made this ridiculous looking save catch thing I almost had to pause the game because I was laughing so hard.


world class thibaut, world class

I've now played 148 FUT matches and have a goal differential of -4. that's 1.34 per match for, 1.36 against. incredible

I got 17 for Christmas & I never train my players. I thought about it, but it just seems to take too much time for me.
On a side note, I was able to get Aubameyang for super cheap

I am interested in how to develop youth players and the older players with potential. What is the training strategy? I hate doing the training myself but the simulations get poor results. Do you try play your youth players?

I sink a ton of time into manager mode every single year, including 3 completed Manager Modes in 2016 and one thus far in 17 (Meaning I finished all 15 seasons and played every single game, 5 minute halves).

What I've discovered works best in this year's game is to train YA players to the point of them being around 70-75 overall and then stop training them completely.

Last season training players too much would randomly stunt their physical stats, but I haven't experienced that at all in 17. I had 5-6 YA players reach 90+ overalls in my one completed MM this season and they all finished with solid physical stats, even if they sucked for 3-4 years, and by suck I mean were average physicals with shite stamina. They all eventually rounded out, including most of them being 90+ in speed/agility/acceleration.

I also NEVER trained myself. I just simmed it each week and didn't worry about what results I got. They're completely random.

I also played my youth players. If you're at a big club (I did my first one this year at Manchester City, like I always do), then I make it my goal to have an almost all YA squad by my 3-4 season. I try to start move in YA players by the time they're 70'ish overall into my first team/subs.

So I have played 3 games of FUT in the daily tournament. Once the guy quit before we started. I didn't get the win and it used contracts on all my players. Then I'm beating the guy in all stats. He is up 2-1 in the 60th but I have a more than decent chance to tie and take the lead. He quits and I get a loss. Is there no penalty for quitting while up?

Anyone ever accidentally sell a player? Barca wanted Goetze for something like £75m and I counter offered with £125m thinking they wouldn't accept it. They did

It's definitely happened to me before. Real Madrid bought a 20 year old striker from me for 90 mil when his value was less than 70, and I had Marseille of all teams give me double the valuation of one of my defenders.

Yes

It's happened to me more than once so far during this managerial season.

Also had a offer from Barca for Ozil for like £80m, I countered with £120m and they accepted like wtf man?

But luckily the deal fell through (there was only like a day or two left in the window)
