I'm still trying to get a handle on this defense. This is my first time playing Ultimate Team too, pretty fun so far. I'm down for some games if anyone wants to add me.
The collisions and general movement on offense are better. The new defensive button layouts, etc. are stupid. I don't know what they are thinking and although you can map to old buttons, the players react as if the new defensive structure is being used. pisses me off.
that said ill have it friday (i got the early thingee) and will have it by tuesday and will play it to death but im still pissed off.
Who do you use knickballer? Generally ill have a season going with Red Bull, one with Chelsea, and a Champions League set up using some random team.
Well I usually go with a MLS team but it gets real easy so I'll play with them later. I started a CM with West Ham(d2) and got promoted to the EPL. I'm doing pretty good right now and finally starting to get some major talent coming in. They fixed the CM which is nice as players actually grow and the youth academy is a cool feature that they re-added from the older ones(why did they even take it out??) it still lacks some depth but it's fun and addicting.
The gameplay is good but the AI is a bit weird. I can't finish for shit and goalies go ninja mode.. I'll aim for the upper right when I'm 1-1 but the goalie has catlike reflexes..
At first I didn't like the new defense but I really like it now. It's fun and better than using the older systems of just pressing B for the ball. Not to mention It's fun covering lanes, marking 1-1, etc. Makes it feel more rewarding.
What formations do you guys use? I want to have an attacking formation. I use a 4-3-3 most of the times with 1 mid as a CAM, and some times I just put everyone in attack lol. No joke I'll have like 3 defenders back with everyone else in attack.
