Things that piss you off in Fifa

Some of the AI defending is aweful. Players back tracking then as soon as I switch to one of them they stop dead for a moment and the striker is gone. All the while I'm holding the left analogue to move backwards.

How hard can it be for them to let us save our default squads for online play?

When I play my friend he likes to go Barcelona, and I go Spain because they can match them, but I make loads of changes and I can't get it done in the 30 seconds at all...

And it's annoying if you need to make changes for your team before every single H2H match if you don't like the formation or starting XI. I don't see why the option isn't there.

Yeah it is annoying. I'm picking South Korea at the moment and making the same changes before every game. The justiciation that I've seen is that it makes it more difficult for people to create and save 'cheat' formations.

How hard can it be? Well, not very, thankfully. Seems a bit crazy they didn't have it this year.

It's in for FIFA 13 though.

As a Swansea player I absolutely f*cking HATE Anzhi. Seriously, about 13 of my last 15 games were against them. Every game is the same too, they hoof the ball up to Eto'o who is so imbalanced for that team level, and he dances around everyone and scores. The rest of the team (barring maybe 2 others) are quite bad though so its an easy team to score against but it is just so annoying to be playing these games with cricket scores all the time. Hopefully Swansea won't be in the same star level as them in 13.

What is up with this game when your on a bad run every time i pass it seems to just hit a opposition player the whole time very annoying, Just after playing some fella there i was Swansea he was Austria he scored on the 70th min with his 1st and only shot of the game then i scored in the 86th min it finished 1-1 then he starts calling me lucky ffs!!

I was 2-0 up in division 1 and with a win I could have won my first ever league title in h2h. Disconnected so had a loss, but I had 4 games left. I think because I was really annoyed it affected my form and it deserted me. I lost, got a draw where I had to come from 3-0 down, lost again, then was drawing in the last game which would have given me the title, but I conceded a 90th minute header from a cross.

So gutted

And then I just played worse and got relegated to division 2... :mad:

Stuck Cone

I hate it when i finally meet a woman player online and when i ask for their number or email or facebook they think im a creep!!:mad:

have a few things that annoy me but the biggest is when someone plays a ball over the top and my defender is in front to meet it and you cant head the ball as too far from the keeper so when you go to control it he's too slow and there striker just catches up and gets the ball and is through 1 on 1. its really annoying

another is when pressing 0 to boot the ball from defence but your player goes to head it and makes a hash of it

madma

also in this day and age the replays are a disgrace!!

i remember saving goals from pro evo and even the old fifa on playstation and they were good to look at and that was years ago

for xbox it takes time loading and buffering the goal and when you watch it its a small screen and its dark and barely viewable.. it really is terrible

Playing in Division 4 H2H, good for me so don't laugh. Playing 3rd game haven't won either of the 1st 2 so need a win badly. Playing against Lyon (Surprise surprise as I play as Liverpool) the ball breaks and I score a quite lucky goal 3 mins in. He pauses and leaves the game and I get the connection error business. But I don't get the win or the loss, its like the game never happened. Very annoying as he just got away with it.

Beefy78

Yeah there's a five minute window in which you can quit before the game counts. It's there for kit-clashes and cases of bad lag but does get abused.

And Div 4 is good for me as well mate. I'm there at the moment.

Same here, I needed just 1 point from the last 2 games to win my 6th title. I went 1 - 0 up in the 1st game but then got disconnected so got a loss for that.

2nd game I conceded 3 goals in the opening 20 mins. I was desperate to somehow get the draw I needed so went Ulta Attacking but in the end I got hammered 6 - 1

I just can't seem to stay in the league, Daniel Agger scored an OG in my first game back in the league. Very depressing. But getting there. I have been promoted 7 times and relegated 1 so its just getting used to it at this stage.

Beefy78

Div 4 is as high as I've been. I'm in another relegation battle at the moment at that level.

I've been promoted about 14 and relegated 8, I think. Something like that. I always climb up to Div 4, have a good season, just miss out on promotion then get relegated a couple of seasons in a row. Always that pattern. It's annoying.

Agree its such a laboured process for a ****ty 5 second video. Needs to be improved in 13

haha bad buzz.

I'm on a serious run at the minute.
I won my two back to back before xmas.... then after saving relegation from back then in the 3rd season I won another two in a row a few weeks back.
Gave up on UT last week so have returned to H2H and I've won 6 in a row since then meaning I'm at about 8 in a row now, only losing 4 of my last 60-70 games.
The game that cost me my losing streak was sickening.
I was 2-0 up, missed a penalty for 3-0..... he scored in the 80th, 84th and 86th minute(two crosses from McGeady of all people. Ended up having to win the last to get the 7th win.

Have had good starts in most winning 4 or 5 of my first 5 or 6 with only the odd draw thrown in. You can't really afford to get to the 5th game with anything less than 10 points.
There really isn't much margin for error, you realistically need 6 wins and 2 draws, you'd be hard pressed winning it 5-5-0.

Enjoying playing with 4 star teams, not really coming across the same opponents and I rotate between all the leagues. Even my ventures into 4.5* have only yielded Napoli twice.

On the topic of things that piss you off.... I made a discovery yesterday that others pointed out before that may help.

When you play in stadiums like the San Siro the camera zooms in. It only happens at some stadiums. Anderleacht and Fiorentina being the others I've noticed.
While playing as Anderlacht yesterday the camera angle was at a very low level giving the pitch a confusing look in relation to depth gauge.
At HT i decided to try change the camera angle and noticed it altered from my custom camera and all I had to do was alter it back to my own one: Tele -Zoom (1) and height (10) in custom.

This returned it to my own view. So it seems the views from these grounds is set from kick off but can be readjusted to your own.

Whats are the points limits in D4?
I rushed through them in Oct so I can only remember D1... which is 20 for the title and 14 to avoid relegation.

Beefy78

10 to avoid relegation, 16 to get promoted same as the other leagues below the top one.

just tried out that russian team with eto in it and ended up playing the against the same team. whatever way he set up his i could not penetrate his defence, i tried everything nothing would work. he beat me 3 nil. eto hat trick and then writes to me calling a loser

Beefy78

I hate playing against Anzhi. Played against them four times in a row the other day. Even in the games I won, Eto'o scored at least two each time. He's just so overpowered at that level.

deafroadrunner

was stuck in devision 4 for over 6 sseasons, was fighting to stay up every time, was annoying but i finally got passed and back into devision 3. best ive managed in devision 2

Beefy78

Anyone who plays as Anzhi is a massive, massive bellend.

I'm so angry right now :mad:

In career mode when playing a team from another country in the Champions League, apparently they don't have any domestic fixtures as all of their players are fully rested, whereas yours have just played 3 games in a week! Unfair advantage straight away. It's boll*x!

Also when trying to play a one-two, the amount of times you get body-checked and nothing is given against the opposition is mind-boggling.

Hercule Poirot

What annoys me (and it may have been mentioned already) is the amount of times the ball hits the ref, mind boggling - you might see it two or three times across a full season in real life but not 10+ times in 40-odd games!
