Worst FIFA game EVER!

[jaisonbass]

Ive been playing FIFA since Road to World Cup 98, till FIFA '05... Id say 99,03 were some of the best ones released, but when I played WE8I and PES I never and never will touch FIFA again.

the worse fifa ever was fifa 99

This Fifa is way too easy, but it is the best we've had for a long, long time.

*Waits for PES 6*

this guy dosent understand that if you play with the best teams you are gonna win

 

[O'neill]

Its the best Fifa to date. Cant see why people keep going on about Fifa 99. Surely the freedom you have in this game and having to do more rather than having the computer do it for you is more satisfying.
Still I have some gripes like when my defender is favourite for the header but does nothing despite my controller clearance and the attacker scores. Yak!

Ummm I don't think so... maybe the PC version, but 99 on the PS2 was a great club edition with a lot teams including eastern European ones (prior to badges, sponsor logos etc.)

Now FIFA 2000... that was a total piece of crap. Remember Julie Foudy, remember the ridiculous high scores.

Anyway... most has been mentioned already about defending... but yeah use your pace control when infront of or around the opponent with the ball which makes your player stand his ground. Use your jostling control when running side by side. Don't always chase the ball and keep your shape... switch to your other defenders to mark those guys trying to sneak in on break. If you time your run right you can intercept passes to them and break up his attack.

I think all ea are missing is a ball that is it own character. They way it moves at the mo is like the turf is made out of glue or something.

Alos the ability to make mistakes like in PES. For example a miskick mistimed volley, mistimes clearance or miscontrol, that cant happen at the moment.

If EA can do this for next year we have some good competition on our hands.

They really need to add some weight to that ball at the moment its a bit too light. I played the demo and the ball could do with some weight.

I think next gen and i dont mean fifa 07 i mean fifa 08 there needs to be changes.

You JUST PLAIN SUCK. Don't complain on how sucky the game is when you suck yourself.

I'm keeping clean sheet after clean sheet in world class mode. It's so freaking easy!!!!

Do you even use the Man Marking feature? Or the tactics options?

The key in defending is not the commit your defender and run after whoever has the ball.

All you have to do is set your man marking up. Get all your back 4 to manmark the strikers and wingers.

ALWAYS USE THE " call other player" button.

Just sit back, relax, do not commit your players. Track the player who has the ball, call another player in to corner him.


I assure you that you will get the ball without the AI even reaching your goal area.



The moral of the story is. Don't blame the game if you yourself suck in the first place.

This game does have alot of **** going on for it, but defending is perfectly controllable.

amazingly enough, you offer some very good advice amidst all of your insults towards me. I admit I sort of flew off the handle earlier when I made my original post (which I have since edited and removed the banter towards EA), but I was getting trashed by the PC and I was at my wit's end with the game! I don't think I SUCK though...at least I don't SUCK anymore thanks to the suggestions in this thread...

Yeah 2000 was pretty bad. It was pretty much go down the wing, cross, Bicycle Kick, Goal, repeat

"A huge plus is that I have not scored the same goal twice in 15 games played so far."

Im sorry but there seems to be WAYYYYY to many stupid goals. I have the PC version of the game. So many of my shots hit the post only for my other striker to tap it in. I have seen so many of these goals that its gotten boring. I have scored some cracking goals, but the amount of tap in goals from goalie blunders or post hits is ridiculous.

Thanks for these tips!

What does 'Call Another Player' actually do? And, what button is it (PC, Logitech)?

I need all the help I can get. I just got my first win and it was while playing on Amateur--I've got a long way to go!

will first let me start bt saying that you completely lost you g:amika: d:amika: mind to say that.
i have been playing the game for pc for about a week now and it depend on the level you play on.
and please don't try to talk smart about how you tried it all in defence couse you clearely didn't so i have 2 solution's for ya (it depends really on you to choose one of them)

first is either you play with a crappy club that have a crapy defenders and in that case you should change your club or thank god on what your crap club defenders are doing and shut your mouth

second one is that you are a lousy player by nature and you just couldn't take the fact that you are and you blame your defenders and the game developers on that and in this case thair is no hope for you young man

lol:amika::amika::amika:lol

no seriosly man you should get good deffenders for your team or play a more defend formation i mean like 5-4-1 or 4-2-3-1 or else

i play with madrid and i do a very good games deffending in semi pro and pro
and i get cleen sheet's too and be resonable i dosn't happen a lot in real life that you get a lot of cleen cheats you get a few throughout the season i think a number around 20 games per season is very good don't you think

yeah 2000 was awful too.. but fifa '99 you could do just 20 360's in a row from your own box to the other and then score..

Yeah, I am on PS2, so there may be a difference there. After my first game I played two more games back to back. In those two games I scored 2 goals in each where one stirker would shoot from an angle, the keeper would parry it to the feet of the other striker who would just tap it in. That was lame, but since those two games I have never had that happen again.

Maybe it's just random or maybe the AI is different on PS2, not sure.

Let me just start by saying that I am loyal, die hard EA Sports FIFA fan. I have been playing since FIFA 2001 and I have loved every game that has been out since that time, with the obvious exception of the latest incarnation of FIFA. Now, onto the latest game... I have been playing since I bought the game last Tuesday and I have been NOTHING but frustrated with it. My biggest gripe of all is defense. I absolutely can not play defense in this stupid game. My players feel like they have stepped in tar or something. I always get burned on defense. I have even tried playing flat back in a defensive strategy, but still ALWAYS get burned. The AI just plays this ultimately frustrating game of "keep away" whenever they have they ball. I average about 10 tackles a game while the AI averages about 20+ tackles a game. The reason I can't make any tackles is because my players NEVER respond fast enough to catch the AI player. They are all turned around wrong and always over commit to one direction and get burned. They can NEVER catch back up to the play because, like I said before, it feels like all of my players stepped in tar! I have played 32 games to date and have not recorded ONE single friggin clean sheet! I mean this is ridiculous!

Very frustrated,
BillyK

You just don't know how to play (don't take this as a cliche as this totally fits your situation). I have full control over the game and the tackling is nothing like you say. I disagree with every word you say.
