FIFA doesn't reward true football skills.....

I have found, playing online, that to be good you really don't have to be able to play a beautiful or even pretty game, as long as you get the shooting down (couple of yard outside the box, rip it past the keeper, ball goes so fast he doesn't even react) and play good defence, then you can win pretty easily.

When I'm playing, I am doing all kinds of awesome moves; sending guys down the lines, through balls over and on the ground, give and gos, crosses, beating players 1 v 1 using skill moves, it goes on and on......

Sadly, this often doesn't result in goals. Other guys I've played (some ranked really high) just kick the ball up front waiting for that break, or when they find themselves in front of the box...well you know whats coming next.

Often games will end with my posession over 70 percent, but with only 2 or 3 shots on goal. The opposition player will have like 15 shots with hardly any posession. Part of it is me not wanting to adapt to shooting from far out the whole game, its urealistic and unsatisfying. I refuse to play this way.

My sad conclusion, like many other previous FIFA's, you don't really need to understand dik about football to be good at FIFA. In a way, it makes the game harder the more you know about football (the more you try to implement real football into FIFA).

This is SOOOOOOOOOOO fustrating, anyone else finding this to be true?

I could not agree with you more. The games is about who can tackle each other quicker and not about passing or building up an attack. It is very untolerable to play on line because I like playing a realistic style and most people just care about winning online. Either on PS2 or PC. You are so right on this.

I'm backing you up in this man... this is a sad reality :(

And Santino, thx for reminding us but we all here know dat this is a "only" a video game. Saying dat "its not going to be realistic becuz its a VIDEO GAME and all ppl care about is winning" is a very pessimistic, not so intelligent thought and we'll have none of it...

Yeah i agree, I like to play real football as much as i canwith nice passing but it reaaly pisses me off when i play pople who do nothing but tap the shoot button all game?, worst of all they actualy think there good.
If i want to play against someone like that i will give my 2 year old niece a control pad and watch her her tap the buttons.
They skill-less people who use it could say that teams use long ball in real life...yeah but not like that and in real life your team could play with a sweeper at the back to "sweep" up the long balls, in this game you cant, so yeah i agree, whoever uses it is rubbish at fifa and wouldnt last 2min if they played the way it was ment to be played.

OK but if it is a simulation of football surely it is supposed to have a degree of realism? It isn't an arcade game. :p

I hear you Solo, there is a game out there which rewards real football, the beautiful game...and if you play it real you will have an advantage...actually it forces you to play real...

But FIFA can be realistic but players who press speed boost durning all the game are not smart. I mean if you guys want an arcade soccer game tell EA to make a 5 on 5 version of NBA Jam but just put a soccer ball in there.

Speaking of possesion of the ball, I usually get 70% posession and the other CPU team gets 30% . . .

but I was playing with Numancia a couple of hours ago and the posession differential was very close. Almost 50-50 for some reason.

there is no such thing as a "lucky break" when u play people who do nothing but Kick the ball over and over and over hoping for it. You can simply stop this by doing 1 of 2 things... that is playing with a 5-4-1 Defensive to MAKE SURE they dont get by with Defense on "contain"

or..

u can quit the game :)
