Well so far of my limited time playing it Im really liking it. Only played 12 games I think it is. Only lost once and in nearly every other game im scoring between 4-7 goals a game. Usually conceding 1 or 2 a game.

Im sure il find it much more frustrating once I start loosing.

As a Liverpool fan they are the team im picking most and Suarez is class in the game

Think im one game away from my third promotion. Heard it gets tougher once you get into division 6.

Exactly what I said in my previous post

But divisions 7 and 6 were frustating as hell. So many times I'd go 2 up, only to finish the game 2 - 2 or even lose 3 -2 It's getting seriously harder but I enjoy the challenge

Managed to somehow get promoted to Division 4 only a little while ago. Had to win 3 out of my last 4 games because I had too many draws in previous games.

Haven't played a game in Division 4 yet. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time dreading it. My defense is absolutely getting torn to pieces at this stage :eek: Only suffered 5 defeats so far, but the draws are piling up because I can't defend a lead most of the time.

PROBLEM FIXED: Just went to Reset Squads and it worked.

Ok so got this game today, been playing around a bit. Servers a bit on and off. Was playing a match in Ultimate Team and got cut off half way thru the second half as the Servers went down.

Then i was going to start a Career Mode, when i noticed that all the players names in the game have been changed to really weird names. Every one is in the correct positions, but the names have completly changed (Rooney is now V. Rodriguez Venta, Chicarito is now Hendry, Torres is F. Lacen, etc). WTF is this all about :mad: ??

I've turned off the console (PS3) and started again but it hasnr fixed it.

I remember something similar happening with Fifa 11 after a few months of playing it, but now its happening after like 2 hours!! has this happened to any1 else and if so how to fix it??

How do I save my squad preferences for the online season? I'm having to change it before every match.

Also whenever there is a goal replay the whole pitch is blank and not showing any replays, anyone having this?

I too would like to know if this is possible this year. Its very annoying having to do the same squad changes before EVERY GODDAMN MATCH!

Quick question... in fifa 11 you could use 2 controllers to control 2 players only and cpu controlling the other 9. cant figure out how to do this in 12 - is it possible? thanks!!!!

Think I'm sorted now. Figured out tactics that suit me down to the ground. Unbeaten and dominating every game with them since I implemented them.

Was playing Tottenham with Arsenal and RVP got a serious injury. Tottenham had the ball and the ref stopped the game. After I made my sub, the ref dropped the ball and I had to give possession back to Spurs.

Nice touch! :pac:

Up to Division seven now. 17-4-1. Seriously tougher games now but I'm pretty sure a lot of my opponents are pressing select and letting the World Class CPU do the defending for them which is quite infuriating...

You can force the keepers to handle the ball outside the box

How you do that? Possible online?

Bloody love this game. Definitely a step from last year. And suits my online play too, unbeaten in 4 (3 wins and a draw) and yet to concede:pac: Seems to be a good few more manual players on it too which is great. The EA team yoke is a nice feature too.

Tried to block a keeper's throwout and he jumped over the striker and outside the box, the ref gave the free. It was online 2 v 2.

Is it true if you press back (xbox) or select (Ps3) you control the keeper and the defence does itself ? Heard this a couple of times but havent used it ?

The A.I is ridiculously good compared to other years. I had to knock it back to World Class, and even then I'm struggling with QPR in career mode.

Had a really bizarre game online, I had 8 one on ones with the keeper in the first half, ended up 2-0 down.... he only had two attacks. Managed to drag it back to 3-3 and win a penalty in the last second when he took me out of it, then he quit before it was even taken.

At least now when you are playing online, you have very little interaction with others (which is good given the amount of absolute w*ankers who play FIFA). No team select so they can't back out straight away, no guy hammering the "Ready!" thing if you try to make some changes before the game.

Plus the seasons thing is a very good idea, I don't really give a sh*t about my record providing I get promoted, etc.

Online set-up is definetly way better this year, have played my games as Villa and have only met similar teams, no super 5 star teams plus no quitters yet either

Anyone have any bother with their online pass being corrupt? I logged on my 360 yesterday evening and was greeted with a message telling me my pass was corrupt and to try downloading again. I did so and it still said it was corrupt. Maybe XBOX Live was having bother....

There was an Xbox Live service alert yesterday. It was sorted by about 19.30 though.

Does this work online or is it only against the AI.
