I don't know how y'all play on legendary. If I did that with Leicester I would get murdered. I want to eventually move up to world class though. Right now I stick to professional.

I've spent way too much time with this series from all the way back to the late PS1 days.

Everton's decent enough, but I'm not ready to play with a lower team this season on legendary.

Have they added a way to contest fixture dates? I can't count how many times '14 fricked me with a Saturday-Tue-Thurs-Sat schedule.

You'll eventually start pummeling teams by 4-6 goals and get bored by it. I scored 24 and 26 in the first two matches on the Beginner setting for FUT. It was horrid. Professional is good when you want to have fun and still be a little dominant. World-Class is for the struggle. Legendary in Career mode is a pain in the arse. I started one a few years ago with United, and I got sacked within a few matches because I drew twice in friendlies and drew and lost my first two league matches. It was embarrassing.

Agh, so conflicted. Right now I'm running a mostly bundesliga team (except my CBs, CDM and GK are EPL).

Mostly because I got schniederlin and kos in my first packs. But kos is up to about 19,000 so I'm debating on selling him and picking up 3 good German CBs (Sokratis, subotic and maybe... Naldo or toprek?) I'd actually still have coins left over even after that and a good GK.

Opinions?

This is where I am. FIFA 14 was the first modern FIFA game I've played and I built up to Professional. On Professional, I'm able to win most matches with occasional draws. Found it very difficult to score on Tim Howard even with Falcao, Rooney, and Van Persie.

Also do most of you world class types play with manual shooting or anything like that?

I play world class.

FIFA 14 I used manual passing but I've switched back to assisted in 15. I don't know what it was but I could not complete my damn passes. I may switch back when I have more time to play.

Everything else is default, except manual switching.

I've got my Premier League squad up to an 80 rating with 100 chemistry (and a really good MLS fatigue/offline match squad behind them), but I have had zero luck with opening rare gold packs. Keep getting basic Bundesliga and South American players.

I play with manual passing unless I'm having a really bad day passing. Shooting is actually much easier in terms of power when manual or semi-assist is on instead of full assist. It sucks, though, because easy finesse shots become a bit more challenging.

After working all damn night, I'm going to play for the rest of the night... unless it pisses me off. I'm trying a 5-2-2-1 out because of my issues at the back. I also want to try to get Alexis Sanchez some shots on goal. He hasn't been able to get much in the matches I've played with him.

Does this game absolutely enrage anyone else? Good lord, I get heated. Suddenly, I cant score or hold possession to save my life. FIFA also set my passing back to assisted so I have been sucking without realizing that EA was sticking their dirty hands into my passing game.

I get upset when I give up a cheap goal late, which is almost every match.

What is the big difference between the assisted versus semi versus manual for shooting? You said there is a difference in finesse shots? I tried playing without pass power assist one time and it was awful. All my passes went two yards. I couldn't make fast passes because I had to hold the pass button down for too long to get adequate power. But at the same time sometimes my through balls go way too far. It's really sporadic though. Also sometimes my passes haut go to the wrong person. I think that's frustrating too. I'm not sure what settings I can put it to to fix these issues but still have the control I want.

Anyone know if you can use your Career Pro in the Manager Mode? Or is my Career Pro limited to just that specific mode?

I've built him up in Career Pro and I want to put in on a team and start a manager mode.

Anyone know if that's possible?

I haven't got the game yet but I'm waiting on my first check from my new job first and buying a PS4.

just want to say this game is great. i've been playing fifa for years and never got into FUT. decided to give it a try this year, and i've slowly become addicted to it.

although, opening up packs is a roller coaster of emotions. going from the giddy optimism of finally pulling a great card, to the soul crushing defeat of your best one being some scrub from a shitty south american team. it is fun, in a sick masochistic sort of way
