    Re: FIFA 14 Impressions

    Same issues that drive me crazy from the past FIFA games. My AI team mates don't want to touch the ball. However still the best online sports game for 2v2 through 11v11

    My cons
    1: AI wont go for deflected or rebounded balls, but rather back away from them. While the CPU hunts down every ball

    2: AI wont pressure the ball handler, but play a safe couple feet away the whole field, even allowing open passing lanes. CPU plays hard up going for tackles

    3: Once in the box my AI just back away form the CPU, I watched many plays where the CPU just walked into the box up near the goal and scored while my defense stay clear of him. I go near the box and the 3-4 closes CPU players close down on me and attack.


    Pro:

    Playing different team really feels like different teams. Had one game where it felt like the whole CPU team was in my box, followed that up with a game where PSG played nice balanced field.

      All of the above that drives me crazy about Fifa. Some will say to use the tactical defending, but you shouldn't have to control everyone on the field to enjoy this game. CPU controlled teammates have killed my enjoyment of Fifa for years.

      Now playing someone else is another story, best user vs. user soccer game out there.

        I'm enjoying it. I'm a bit disappointed that my fav team is a bit messed up(Viborg) but I fully expected it.

          Switch to Legacy Defending, use the second defender press button, and play off ball defense by blocking the passing lanes. The Tactical Defending option IMO has been awful.

                Unresponsive in all aspects of the game. Too many rebound goals. Very frustrating to play, its a video game it should be smooth and fun. Don't need 100% realism where every other touch losses possession or passes out of bounds

                  I shouldn't need to compensate for my AI when the CPU players can player just fine without the user.

                  Again I do a goal kick and the CPU is there fighting for the ball, CPU does a goal kick none of my players are around fight to win possession. Just letting the CPU get 1st touch.

                    So what's your option? Don't follow the advice he gave you and continue to not enjoy the game? Every game requires user tweaking on some level. Me, I don't have the problem you're describing because I fix it with slider adjustments. Again, you need to utilize the in-game settings and tools provided in order to adjust and improve the gameplay.

                      I still can't believe that pace is all that matters in this POS game. So much for defending the ball.
                      I never really bought into the handicap on UT, but of course I never had a really good team. This time around I have a pretty solid team, (Isco, Ramos, Neymar, Reus) and I can't win an online game to save my life. I'm not losing by 1 or 2 goals, I'm getting beat 0 to 5+.
                      The only game in was winning 3 to 0,the guy scored two goals in the 45th minute and went on to score another 5 in the second half. My defenders just stood there and watched his attackers go through every time. He had a very pacey front line and a dead slow back line, but still, Terry and Puyol can keep up with Reus and Neymar without a problem.

                      I'm seriously thinking of selling my whole team and just make a good silver team, gold teams are apparently overrated and useless.

                        Set user line height and line length sliders to 0, then sit back and watch your cpu-controlled teammates defend defend defend 'til the cows come home. You are welcome! :wink:

                            I actually feel as if strength is much more effective compared to previous years.

                              That was Ea's big push. Not allabout pace, fend off defenders. But pace is still king, except against slow defenders. Ended up selling Neymar and Reus for Guardado and Gomez.
