Sometimes, I try to mitigate the soft marking of my CPU teammates by using RB to double team and just allow the CPU to mark the man.

I bought the iPad version. After playing it and the demo, I think I'm pretty close to buying FIFA (on the PS3) for the first time in ages. I'm not a die-hard fan by any means, but I'm really impressed by what I've seen so far.

I use Chelsea, it's awesome playing against Liverpool at Anfield. Every time Torres touches the ball you just hear the crowd go ****ing mental at him.

I'm seeing a huge improvement in foul calls and yellow cards given against the cpu. Quite a few cards have been for shirt pulling.

Is there any way to bypass all the cutscenes during a game? It feels like an eternity every time the camera focuses on a player who inevitably is getting substituted. Button mashing does nothing. Do you have to sit through all these? I'm on PS3 btw.

I was just about to post something similar... was playing Chelsea at Arsenal and every time Ashley Cole touched the ball the crowd starts jeering him. the commentators even comment on it. Nice touch.

I haven't seen any mention of it but does anyone else think the stamina is off? The in game stamina is perfect but the day to day is off, I can get away with playing my starters in 3 games in a week..

We apparently don't have a bugs/glitches thread for this game, but this has seriously happened to me probably 7 or 8 times now.

Guy drops the ball to set up the throw-in, freeze.

Just lost a 4-2 lead over Man U in the 83rd minute because of this and I'm sick of it.

EDIT: Hey, guess what just happened when I tried to replay that match? 88th minute, freeze.

Wow, I can't do this at all. I had three games, 3 days apart, and that third game was entirely reserves because my guys were just drained.

Okay, I'm starting to see some serious warts in the gameplay that are really bugging me. I've been playing along in my CM and haven't seen the infamous "crab walk." About 2 matches ago, all of the sudden it starts making me start doing it and waiting to do the neat little one-two off of the run. Then I go to shoot and it starts making me do chips. Also, my defense switching button is sporadically working, meaning that it either doesn't switch or is so late that I'm on the man after the ball is already heading by me , forcing me to use the right stick to switch defenders. It just feels as if all of the freedom I had in playing the last 5 years of Fifa have been hijacked by the CPU. What gives? I can't sprint how I want, pass how I want or shoot how I want. I'm hoping this is some kind of bug, either in my controller or with the game. If it's purposeful for the sake of appearing to be "authentic," it was a terrible design decision! It hasn't happened until about 18 matches into my CM, before that it was the best Fifa ever. Gonna try another controller and unplugging/replugging my 360 PC receiver, hoping this helps. Something really has gone wonky with my Fifa......

Not that I am defending them not fixing the bug, but if you know it's going to freeze on you, why not just throw it in if you are up 4-2 in the 83rd minute?

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.

The blocked shots sometimes are quite maddening but like Broncos86 stated, without them you would just slaughter the AI every game.

I played a game as Man Utd and RVP must have had 6 or 7 shots and every one of them was blocked. It was frustrating. Next game he got a hat trick. It just happens sometimes.
