I aim never to quit as even a trashing is good practice. In a recent Seasons match I was 3-0 down at half time, got a goal early in the second half and kept plugging away. 89th minute corner and my keeper comes up for it and scores! Right from the kickoff, I press for the ball, work it around a bit, chip a through pass and grab the equalizer with the final kick of the game.

Eh, it was like the 70th minute and I couldn't get anything going. Better not to waste anyone's time.
No. There will be at E3,but it'll probably use the same engine since they hyped the shit out of it.

Yea, the Ignite engine on PS4 is their brand new engine and it is pretty great to be fair. I hope we see improved AI on defense and with the refs. Tweaked physics and improved collision detection should help too.
Of course I know that Over the Top balls aren't ever going to change so it makes me sad.

You should at least score a goal before quitting. Figure out the weaknesses in case you ever face it again

Playing against AI sucks but people online are basically douchebags. So the choices for enjoying this flawed game are slim.
Non-stop lob through balls is annoying and people who don't skip replays are the worst people in existence.
I'm not great by any means (something like 63-30-52, a handful of titles) but even after all these matches everything still feels nearly completely out of my control. When I pull off like 5 wins in a row and can't stop scoring it doesn't feel like I've done anything differently than when I'm getting trounced and can't even tie a game. I'm constantly fighting my guys to get them to go and do what I want. Not to mention the keeper play. It's fun to have something to play in short bursts but after all of this it kind of feels like I've wasted my time.

Classic FIFA. Not wishing to downplay your skills or anything, but the game was probably giving you assistance here for dramatic effect, if my experiences are anything to go by.

Try messing around with the AI sliders. I've found that you can improve the experience dramatically.

It seems to be such a headache to even get a customer support rep.
I've had no luck so far. I guess I'll try again this week.
Yep, we all know the FIFA handicap exists.
You will even get banned from their forums if you so much as mention it.
Seriously: fuck this game and its shitty connection balancing. I just played three matches against the same person (Real vs Liverpool) and in every one his players were always first to the ball, they made all their tackles, intercepted most of my passes, they had all the close control and all could easily outpace my team. His goalkeeper was superhuman whereas mine was a fucking scarecrow. His host advantage was utterly ridiculous.
Is there ANY more frustrating gaming experience on the planet when it's like this?

Their forums are awful... There is absolutely zero mechanics based discussion, which is what would be most productive on the developer forums.

I started a new career game as a defender and I get subbed nearly every game at around the 60 minute mark, whether I play fantastic or not. Whatever, I figured I'm still inexperienced, or I'm out of stamina, or some other rational explanation. Then I began to notice that it was never my name that showed during the substitution scenes, which I typically skip through. This time I finally decide to hit "watch rest of the game" after getting 'subbed' and I'm totally still on the field playing, though AI controlled.

Well, I've decided to stop playing FUT for this year. After years of playing I can't cope with the shit anymore xD
If anyone wants some cheap coins let me know, at least I can get something back xD

Something like 650k (xbox).

On ebay you can get 500k for roughly 22 £; so I guess something like 30 euros (or equivalent) for 650k is a very good price.

So, I just got Fifa 14 today (it's my first Fifa game)... and i'm kind of overwhelmed with all of the options and what to do. Could someone give me a quick rundown and what modes there are and what each one does?
Like, what exactly is Ultimate Team and what can I do with it? And is seasons how I can easily play with people online? Can I play with people online in Play now?

Seasons is the head to head online modus with standard teams. Ultimate team also allows you to go head to head against other people but it works with cards. You have to get packs to save cards and there by create your team. I don't play it so I don't know the details but I'm sure someone can tell you more about it.
And of course there's online clubs. You join a club and all the members in the club control one player on the pitch. If you're not online with 11 people at the same time the other players will be AI controlled I believe. Not sure what platform you're on, but I think we have a Gaf club on most platforms. At least PC and PS4 have a club going.
I just got 14 myself yesterday to finally participate in some clubs action.

Ultimate team is the most popular mode in Fifa and the one people cry about when they pull a Heskey from a pack instead of a Messi. You basically collect cards of players and create your Ultimate team, the players need to be connected through chemistry by either having the same nation, same club or same league. You collect coins by playing matches and can either gamble the coins by buying these card packs or go onto the transfer market and buy the player you want directly.

They NEED to add the 5 minute rule back. This game with lag is the biggest piece of garbage possible.

I was never a big FIFA fan but received FIFA 14 with my day 1 X1 and have loved it ever since.
Thought I'd share my squads. My friend, my brother and I all share the same FUT so I didn't do all of this myself. They are in order of how often I use them.

This game is awful compared to previous instalments. The rubberbanding/momentum has never been worse. There is no concistency in the online gameplay. They have butchered the competitive aspect of this game. And the FUT market is a little bit too cheap :/
I have played over 1k games in all Fifa games since 10, but i am now taking a break. I will probobly wait with FIfa for atleast 2 years so they will hopefully fix all this rubberbanding.

Not given as a penalty, not even a foul. I've complained in this thread before about the game's hesitance to call fouls in the player's favour, but that one is just absurd. Look at that!
Very close to reality though, good job EA.

To be honest, I sometimes think I genuinely wouldn't mind an option for the inclusion of referee error in the game, for reality's sake, but the fineness of margins under which offside will be called in this game kills my ability to understand all of the other errors.
Oh man, don't even start. Sometimes the lines they draw in the replay seem to be on top of each other not visible for the human eye :lol
But building in ref errors would be horrible imo. I'm already fuming if in real life football the ref screws my club over. I think I'll need to buy a stach of controllers if that starts happening in FIFA on a regular basis.

They're interpretation of Offsides is straight up wrong. They aren't supposed to blow the whistle until the offender touches the ball, and they often don't do that. It is infuriating.
The idea of having each ref have different tendencies is awful because of the general inconsistency every match has for fouls. They need to fix the physics engine a little I think.

They did that in one of the Champions League games and it was awful. They even had the commentators mention it when it happen and it just made you think "Fuck this game". Especially when it came to offside.

I keep getting the "EA servers are not available" message.
Everything though seems fine: no word on twitter from EA, Live is up and running, and I an access the FUT web app.
Anyone?
EDIT: it was my console forgetting network settings. Go figure.

FIFA World Cup coming to Ultimate Team on PS4/3 Xbox 360/One and PC.
Seems like a good idea.

And for those of us who don't like FUT at all "FIFA World Cup Kick-Off mode"... whatever that means.
EDIT: I found some more information about it in the press-release:

I'm not sure what the max nr of controllers on XB1 is. But when you start a kick off match, you should be able to see 6 controllers then that can shift to the home side or away side.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
lol I know about that, but I am not talking about local play. I am talking about my friends playing from their place and I am playing from my place. Just to make it simpler to understand, it like a Titanfall private match.
Holy fuck, no game on the planet (not even GT5) gives you the highest highs then bait & switches you with the lowest lows. What a fucking inbalanced pile of shit.
At its best there is no game I'd rather play, and I have not played any game over the years more than FIFA. But Jesus wept, the same old broken bullshit making it in year after year is just criminal, and the online experience remains a coin toss as to who will be handed overwhelming host advantage.
On the plus side I'm currently locked in to being a superhost and am enjoying embarrassing Barca, Real, Bayern and PSG abusers with my half-star team of York City superheroes.
But seriously: fuck this game, I hate this game, I love this game.
