One thing to know is you can't use keyboard and mouse for online matches (dunno why).
I was playing a bunch of FIFA World with keyboard and mouse and doing well enough (division 3 or something), but I just got FIFA 15, and I haven't used a controller for like 10 years and I'm awful, I've only won one online game yet and it was against a guy who like didn't pass once.
My average score is like 5-1 loss, I really need some way to kickstart my controller skills.

just opened marco reus!
just wanted the world to know

What are your guys typical online scores?
I just played my first one against someone comparable to me in skill and it finished 3-3 with numerous more chances and like 5 more posts. So so far I've barely played a game with less than like 6 goals yet. Though more scoring is not necessarily bad, it lets the better players separate themselves more.

I haven't really 1vs1 and i have seen a few streams. Seems a lot more goals, 3-3 would seem about right now. When we play Clubs or 2v2 it is like 3-0 wins or 4-3 odd one.
A lot more goals is about right though for this version, defending a lot harder than usual.

It depends, i mean like, if you play against people who don't really use skills just holding R1 (PS4) and you use a defender to cutoff passing lanes is enough from what i've experienced. I haven't played against anyone who's actually good at skilling (the one's i've played with are hilariously predictable, just defend them yourself, the AI will get owned most of the time), i'd imagine those are terror and result in many goals with the current defending.
|
yesterday my games ranged from 1-0 win/loss to 5-5 tie.
i think it depends mostly on what formation i play against, and of course how good my opponent is. but many if not most times, luck plays a factor too. there are so many bullshit moments in the game it makes me cringe (for both sides).

The players no longer "glide" to the ball when you release the tackle button, you have to be in position, so it's a lot more difficult to tackle (for novice players), which could explain why you see so many goals. I just play customs with friends and I haven't noticed a big spike in goals, but we are all about the same skill level.
I'd love to play if anyone is interested. I have a TS server we can use.
Cheers
EDIT: I play on PC

something i noticed.
the squad i used had a team rating of 82. after i got reus i built a team around him and team rating became 83.
while using this squad, i only ran into other high rated teams with the likes of ribery, messi, inform tevez.
so i thought damn, i dont remember facing them so often before. so i went back into the 82 rated team then started playing against not so high rated teams; regular golds, even facing all silver team.
just wanted to share, if you do plan on getting high rated team, be ready to face them too. the threshold seems to be at 82. though i actually havntd tried all bronze bench (i like to have real bench players)
another thing, i finally understood the implications of work rates. all my midfield players had high/high or high/medium and i would get crushed hard on counter attacks. using players like pogba or gundogan as cdm would be bad idea or having all high attack work rate on all central midfielders. so watch out.

There's definitely some sort of skill matchmaking too. I won my first match against some little kid that never passed, then I could tell it was trying me way higher than my level then it adjusted and now it seems to give me even matches, just like some sort of trueskill/MMR rating would.
I just played an 85 team with my 79, I'm in division 10 in FUT still and his team was literally
----------Reus---Lewandowski
-----------------Gotze
Aubemeyang-----------------Muller
-------- Lahm--------Gundogan
---- Hummels---Boateng----Martinez
------------------- Neuer
He really just tried to dribble me the whole entire game though (it was hard cause his players are ridiculous dribblers) and I beat him 2-1.

Anyway David Villa is my favorite UT player right now, he can't stop scoring. I paid like 700 coins + 250 for sniper chemistry (he's full chemistry by just connecting to only spanish guys with spain manager and loyalty), and it's 5* weak foot, 4* skills, finesse shot trait, amazing ball control and finishing, silky dribbling, great runs in behind. It basically doesn't matter where he gets on the ball in or near the box for me, he puts it away.

Does anyone have any good tips for beating Bayern and Real when playing the professional AI? Want that gold pack from single player tourney but I'm conceding too many goals -__-

How does Fifa compare to PES nowadays? (Each in their latest versions)

Yeah, for CDM's you should always be using someone with L/H or M/H work rates. In my opinion, Luis Gustavo is the perfect CDM. My opponents can't get past my midfield because of him. The dude is a wall. I suggest you try him out. Also, Kevin-Prince Boateng is a beast of a CM. When accounting for total stats, I think he's like top 5.
Here's my current team for reference (I absolutely love it):

I'm doing pretty well against people who play rather normally for just having picked up a controller recently now.
I'm giving up tons of goals against lob through ball abuse still though (and I meet it quite often), I haven't figured out the trick to defending this yet, I can't switch to the right defender and get him running back to the goal soon enough (and even when he wins the battle, half the time it seems like he first touches it right to the attacker or the attacker just runs through him).
It just seems like the players are too good at these, they are like one of the hardest plays in real life, yet it seems like in game everyone's playing balls like Xavi or Pirlo.

Are there many wrong ref. decisions for thing like corners and throw-ins in this game or is this just my imagination?
|
Also that little fucker Ahmed Musa, he keeps destroying me with ridiculous plays and waltzing through my defense in UT.

It's hard to tell but it does seem like occasionally to me.

OK god damn I played a ton today and mostly got brutalized. My form on FUT online now looks like LLDDLL, and on seasons LLWLLL, even though I recognizably improved and feel way better than when I started today. One guy I played early in the day with Barcelona and got dominated, then the last game I played I matched him again, this time I was Athletic Bilbao (he was Juventus both times) and it was very even, he won 3-2 on an 89th minute goal (and his other two goals were dribbling through me at kickoff, I keep forgetting to be alert for that).
Why does your team line up in a 4-2-4 when the other team has the kickoff anyway? It makes no sense.
Or maybe I'm just the worst player in the game, played 3 more today, lost all three. My record in the past two days is like 3 wins, 2 draws, 17 losses or something.

I don't understand how people enjoy H2H--at least on the PC it's hard to find matches below 5* teams, and everyone is Real Madrid, and Real Madrid is so effing OP, Ronaldo is unstoppable.
Also I've never done so badly at a game in my life than this now--I've continued losing at the same rate, so this past week my record is about 5-7-40 or something, I got relegated from div 6 to div 8 in FUT and from div 8 to div 9 in seasons and I just barely avoided being relegated to div 10 (which is barely even possible). I even have lost consistently to people who are noticeably worse at controlling than me (1-0 usually) cause I can't score goals, it seems like there's a forcefield around the opponents goal.

This has literally stopped me from playing FIFA this year. Its ridiculous how many goals get scored straight from kickoff.
Weirdly, i've gone back to PES. Its quite fun this year, but the presentation and feel of the menus is absolutely disgusting. Its like a 90s game lol.
