FIFA 15 |OT| 99 problems but the pitch ain't one.

Now, essentially nothing. It used to get you - and keep you - close enough to a player to decide when you wanted to put in a tackle. Now it gets you near, the forward changes direction and the defenders can't react quick enough and off they go.
Well, the majority of the time anyway.

How the fuck do you defend in this game? I used to use R1 to pressure but that barely works.
It seems like a simple through ball between my defenders ensures a shot on target. I have players running straight at me and just power through.
Played the PES demo; game looks and plays much better than this years FIFA

That's why i went back to legacy defending. I know it doesn't work on matchmaking but at least offline it's less frustrating.
I always have more fun online in Fifa games when using average teams, that way i avoid facing Messi and Ronaldo every other game and the game is much better without the best rated players.
PES can't come soon enough.

I must be the only person who can't defend on pes and thinks defending on fifa 15 is super easy and almost identical to 14. Part of that is because I'm not used to the pes controls though.
I've had better success tracking with l2 and using r1 only to ocassional pressure when they try to turn around me to bring another defender to block, but I'm not playing with high level teams

And the first Corner Exploit is in circulation. Great.
Corner to edge of the box for someone to volley it home.

I just lost to my friend who's shit at fifa 5-4. He had real madrid i had PSG. Literally just passed the ball to Bale, CR7 or Benzema and held sprint all the way to the box and pressed B to score. what the fuck. In fifa 14 i'd win 7-0, 9-2, etc. No idea how he's scoring on legendary
The more I play the more I think the player AI is totally isolated per player as in, each player depending on position has an invisible box around them, and it only activates when something happens in that area.. I mean is the only way that makes sense to me why the AI is so terrible.. specially in terms of whole team AI..
And also the kickoff thing where someone fast can cut thru all the way.. how did that make it past qa? what kind of incompetent testers do they have?

I still try online every once in a while and every single time it's a fight against input lag. I just don't get it. Even this game is running perfectly smoothly and yet every single input for a shot is way more power than every time I press it the same way in offline. Fucking joke.
edit: I still enjoy pro clubs though.

And this wouldn't be so much of a problem if other defenders actually covered the space rather than just watching a player run past you. This is why I never use any of that shit, I just run to players, keep a yard ahead of them manually and let go of run button and hover around them until the player automatically tackles. Guys try to zig zag with fast players, but I ain't having none of that mate, always a yard ahead until they take that step too close to my defenders.
No R1 bullshit. No standing lunge tackles (only use once I'm close enough to pull and pressure players). Definitely no X standing off players.
Flew to Division 3 on FUT since changing my tactics and no looking back.

Just pulled a Benzema out of one of my free Ultimate Team packs. Sell it or keep it?

Got fifa 15 coming tomorrow. Eligible for the free packs then still?
Jesus christ. That's a Messi, Reus and some other few right?thanks for posting that the free packs are out! I have the best luck on FUT.

Messi Reus and 3 TOTWs now :lol. Only spent £8 or so on some packs day 1 cause Messi funded the rest!
Keep if you want a French or La Liga team as he's the best striker. Sell if not I guess, he fetches quite a bit.

The defending is fine imo. The problem with the game is you just cannot have a game where defending is manual and attacking is all assisted and expect a balanced result.
Make defending manual, fine. But don't leave through balls, passing, crossing and shooting as assisted ffs.

This sort of thing is so rare I'm willing to give them a pass. I've played around 150 matches so far and seen maybe one keeper goof. As a whole they're much better this year.
I hate you. My best pull is still Ramsey and Hamsik.
I'm with you here, I think manual on both would be great. It's funny, on the higher difficulties in offline the AI use the same exploits as people online. Chipped through balls everywhere.

I got 2 Mexicans in my Gold Pack. My rare was a Physio. Great.
On PC you will not go a single game without a keeper fuck up. Honestly it's like their AI turns off.

Ah the old defenders running back towards their own goal always laying the ball off kindly for the attackers routine. Est. 2009.

I'm giving up multiplayer games (mostly) so selling my Xbox One no more Fifa as really does make me more angry than having fun. I'm just a sucker to keep on playing it.
Anyway point being if anyone on the Xbox One wants some free coins I am probably going to sell up my team later today and will give away my coins. I think it is only about 75k value for the whole team but it's better than nothing!

So is the fifa 15 on ps4 demo supposed to be choppy/laggy when trying a FUT match?

Is there a reason I'm no longer earning XP or Fifa coins for offline games? Could have sworn I was earlier. Also, I have no idea how people play online in this game. I've played 7 seasons matches and only 2 of those didn't have game-breaking stuttering.

That is a bug in the full game too. You need to disable upnp and maybe your firewall on your router. It's stupid but EA being EA haven't fixed it yet.

Awesome, the game is due to arrive tomorrow.

So tired of conceding goals like that. Maybe it's Lloris, but keepers are missing shots painfully close to them. The do this little run our thing after the shot, and leave themselves in the middle of nowhere. Literally driving me crazy, so many simple near post shots.

It's when they take steps forwards, there's not animation sequence to initiation a save unless it's a sprawl. So it takes a frame or two for them to stop and then go into stand still save animation. By which time of course - goal.
It's why I never charge my keeper out anymore.
Yeah, but I'm not pulling him out at this point. He's doing that stupid run on his own, and it's cost me so many games now.

Having some issues sending PM's so you are now 50k richer. I won my last game 5-0 and scored a couple of great goals so it was a good game to bow out on
In my brief time BBVA teams seem way better than any other, the quality of passing in the midfield and amazing central defenders (for the money) meant I won about 80% of my games when I switched to that team. Rodrigo is an amazing striker, obviously Neymar + Bale is a lethal combo up front. Playing Bale at 3 chemistry didn't change how lethal he was (loaned him for 4 games), definitely recommend trying Muller up front if you have a Bundesliga team.

There's one literally every game, it's fucking killing me.
this one happens to me every other game. it makes me hate it so much. You playing on consoles?
Yeah, PS4. Lloris is actually a terrible keeper in this game, despite being the third highest rated. He concedes from such crazy easy shots.

Damn! The PC still hasn't had the day one patch from the consoles so I was hoping it would be better when that comes out.

Think i'm done with this game for now. i don't mind attackers dribbling through my defence like Messi as most times i can stop them with well timed tackles and my formation.
What i can't stand is the "next gen" goalkeepers missing shots that are right besides them and not making an attempt on finese shots from outside the box.
The amount of goals i conceded from finese shots outside the box is ridiculous. i played a game where one player tried that all game and scored 5 with tevez. its so frustrating as i enjoyed the demo better but now i just end up getting angry.
