Playing through the tournament to teach myself how to handle full manual on Legendary.

Some thoughts:

- That Russia team is bad. CPU had to pull off a lucky route one goal on me to save a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia.

- Uruguay is a decent team to play with because Cavani and Suarez are in front of a so-so midfield. Scored a hat trick with Cavani in a wild 4-3 match. Salah is superpowered.

- That first Group B match between Iran and Morocco is gonna be a slog.

- Portugal is funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

- I couldn't stop laughing at the crowd shots that showed painted-up black fans for Russia.

Russia came really close to having a black player. Brian Idowu but he switched to Nigeria.

A black western dude in Russia probably slays pussy as long as he isn't beat up

From Africa probably not

While the 14 WC game was a mess in terms of gameplay, I liked how you could play through a cycle and qualify with any team — not just the ones on regular FIFA.

Has it been mentioned how off the rosters are for the WC squads?

fricking Nainggolan for Belgium, Hart for England and no Reus for Germany

Belgium was unstoppable going forward

Germany is great but slow

Salah is a demigod

France is France, I don't like their starting formation

Brazil is phenomenal

Portugal is fun going forward

Spain...I have mixed thoughts

In a shocking turn of events, Konami just released a statement announcing that Borussia Dortmund had exercised its unilateral option to cancel the sponsorship agreement prematurely.

Despite recently featuring in the PES 2019 announcement screenshots, Dortmund will in the end not feature in the game. The initial contract, which was closed only last year, would have run for two more years, until 2020.


suck it PES

Pulisic now has a face scan in the game through the updated USMNT in the World Cup section.

Yeah I think the idea is to just make a bunch of money off of WC FUT and make everyone drain their regular UT. Then for the rest of the summer till 19 releases they’ll make more than usual off FIFA points on the back end because everyone will have sold their players for coins for WC packs.

Anyone doing WC UT? I got super lucky and pulled Matthaus on the icon SBC and have had more great luck to build this team already:

Mbappe Salah (start Gignac for chem and sub)
Modric
Kroos Matthaus
Can
Sandro Paulista Boateng Kimmich
Alisson

In the narrow 442 diamond.

Anyone get an OP player (R9, Dinho, Messi, CR7, etc) yet? I used a decent amount of coins I had left to buy packs but don’t really wanna sell my regular UT players to go all in on it.

Can’t remember being this legitimately interested in gameplay advances in an upcoming FIFA title, maybe the overhauled physics engine in 13?

Not only the further depth in the custom tactics but the ability to immediately switch to another preset formation on the in game tactics menu on the d-pad has been needed for a while. People on twitter are complaining that it’ll encourage packing it in on defense even more but really that already happens in online and will just save us some time with constant pausing. This will also will help keep from the instant pause in FUT to rearrange players/formations after getting the desired chemistry rating out of a squad.

I don’t give a solitary frick about EA obtaining the CL license but I guess that’s cool. Hoping it leads to them further tuning up career mode after last year’s updates.

If you don’t narrate the career mode inside your head and make up storylines to yourself you’re doing it wrong. The licenses will help immensely with immersion and players storylines.

Or maybe i’m Just weird as frick.
