What video game are you playing?

[IrishLion]

I think he should just play all 11 players in the attacking third and never give up possession.

Negative... If you 'park the bus' only your strikers will attack if that... Then there is ultra defensive... Defensive basically protects you more from THEIR counters... Which I will assume is where a kid would kill a less experienced player... Keeping your back line back is key against the go-go types... Again I'm assuming Connors kid is one... I'd suggest five backs or a stone four backs with an active CDM that Connor controls

What you do is keep the ball, pass back a lot, slow it down, and wait for the right run from a CAM or Striker and hit them with long airmail through ball... OR pick your spot to make a run on the wing, with a free finger notch attacking up and go for the right cross... But you must remember to put your tactics back down as soon as you lose the ball or you'll get bit.

Been playing Madden 16 early release, very fun. Not much change in game play but the catching and tackling seems much more realistic. The scouting/drafting in connected franchises is very fun.

Also the Draft Champions mode which is a combo of MUT/Fantasy Draft is awesome. You have 15 rounds and each round is a choice between 3 different players and then you play games with that team.

 

[ACamp1900]

For shots, barely tap the button, at all... Or ALWAYS use finesse shot, tho I recommend the first option... But 23 should speak on this one... He's a damn arcade hero when it comes to shooting in FIFA, dude can strike from damn where anywhere within reason.

Think so? Not offside trap? Don't get me wrong, I'm fully confident that you're much more knowledgeable about soccer than I am. Just curious.

Sounds like striker or wing is where he should make his living rather than CAM. It sounds like he's not comfortable passing and dribbling in a crowd.

Separately, Connor, make sure you have fatigue turned on. I assume your kid spends the entire game with his finger on the turbo button.

 

[ACamp1900]

Offside trap is another option, in FIFA against a kid that's already owning, if you get it wrong once that's prob game over... Pace is way overpowered in FIFA, if you get an attacker in space they are favored every time... The best way to combat this IMO is more bodies across the line, limit the space... Don't control any back line defenders ( they'll get out of position) and attack the ball with a CDM or some such

I still haven't seen a better idea offered than breaking the kid's thumbs.

Gouge his eyes? Easier to play without thumbs than it is without eyesight.

Surely he wants his kid to see how bad he's pwning him?

AH HA

Is that what he was doing? No fatigue? Sprint the entire field with Messi the entire game?

Yep, and I usually use Bayern (SP) from the greman league because they have been the most effective one I can find to use against him. Not sure the chemistry rating but their D works well as a team.

 

[GATTACA!]

Omg are we seriously discussing FIFA strategy?? time for this offseason to end.

 

[ACamp1900]

Break his thumbs then straight clockwork orange his eyes so he misses nothing.....

Anyway, if it's as simple as settings and sliders you can always adjust a ton of sliders to benefit your style, you might even tell him you did it...

 

[ACamp1900]

Yep, and I usually use Bayern.

We've diagnosed the problem boys,...

haha... my basic approach to Bayern fans...

 

[IrishInFl]

Donkey Kong at Fire Betty's. I WAS SO CLOSE TO MY FIRST 100K ON AN AUTHENTIC MACHINE! You need to come here huntr.

 

[connor_in]

Dude, not a fan, they counter Messi and the rest of my son's team.

It's like a fantasy football guy who has Brady but hates the Patriots...just trying to do the best I can

 

[IrishLion]

Anybody picking up Madden today?

I didn't preorder it, but football fever is upon me and I think I'll have to buy it tonight.

 

[ACamp1900]

I just traded in 15 yesterday... I get madden every few years or so, I doubt I'll get it this year

I got it last year, but ended up giving it to my brother after I played a few times. I'll probably grab this and play through a few seasons, and then trade it in towards one of the many games that come out between now and November.

MGS:V hyyyyyyyyyyyppppppppppe!

 

[greyhammer90]

I know Koon is a fellow Metal Gear head, anyone else?

 

[ACamp1900]

I play(ed) them, the last one was eh but I liked Liberty, Snake Eater and Solid...

 

[IrishInFl]

I refuse to give Konami any of my money unless they make drastic changes to their management. It's basically a sweat shop version of a video game publisher

I'm paying them for the game. Probably the last time I will though. No Kojima = no MGS and they've ruined all their other IP.

 

[ACamp1900]

If PES ever gets full licensing (prob wont ever happen) then I would buy PES no doubt... just being honest.

I still believe it's just a matter of time... maybe a few more years, if that.

 

[GowerND11]

Can't wait for the new MGS!

Anyone ever watch the fan made movie online? Honestly not bad. Made by a few film students in Italy.

Still praying that one day they make a film series on the games.
