Momentary brain fart.

As soon as he dropped the ball, I went "****. I'm going to have to do this again." and sure enough.

Played this game for the first time today, and my first game got into a penalty shootout... and noticed that there was no meter with red and green to signify if you were hitting the ball in the right spot... is this just me or just my television, or have others noticed this as well?

There is a fix for it. It happened last year too but I honestly don't rememeber how to fix it. See if you can search in google.

am i the only once finding the refs are extremely biased towards the cpu and the cpu blocks an inordinate amount of shots and passes? i play on world class, semi passing, man through balls, semi everything else. i just find it incredibly frustrating when no matter how clear my shooting lane is theres always a defender who lunges in front of it.

Honestly, without that, you'd likely destroy the CPU. Or, find yourself stuck between difficulties. One beig way too easy, the other being way too hard.

Love the game for the most part. The new additions to CM and the game play improvements are great.

Unfortunately, it's still FIFA and I have to say that the stoppage time goals are really starting to piss me off. After playing so many games of FIFA over the last 5 years, I can tell when the conditions are ripe for scoring a goal. Just looked, and 10 of the last 12 goals scored by either me or the CPU in my CM have either been in stoppage time or within 2 minutes of the other team scoring a goal. Yeah, I know they said momentum doesn't exist in the game, well they're lying. Late goals are so anti climactic is this game.......it's a scripted mess.

It's not specific for the CPU either, it's specific for the team that is behind. Is it or is not BS that I can hold West Ham to under 5 total shots in 15 minute halves game, and then all of the sudden when they are down 1-0 in the 90th, I feel like I'm playing Barcelona?

That and the game to game fatigue needs to be tuned in a MASSIVE way...

I think I'm done with this game. Can't deal with my AI teammates not going after (or sometimes even running away from) a loose ball or an opponent running with the ball. I've adjusted the marking slider and I don't see any difference. The game just turns into the other team's 11 players playing keep away from the one player I keep switching to.

Even I do manage to trap them on the sideline or force them into a bad spot, any player (even guys from a 3rd division team) can simply stop on a dime and turn around or make an absolutely ridiculous pass to someone that they couldn't possibly have seen.

Its just stupid and not even fun. I managed to get decent enough sliders on FIFA 12 to make it playable, but can't seem to make it work this time around.

Don't trade the game in before switching back to Legacy Defending and making generous use of the second defender press button. Since FIFA 12 I think I've used TD in maybe 5 games. The defenders are too passive. If legacy defending wasn't an option I wouldn't be playing the game.

Control a CM or CDM and mark the forwards and any CPU making a run. You do not have to switch and chase the ball all over the pitch.

Also, lower the line height to make your defense more compact. Probably somewhere in the 30-35 range.

Good luck.
