FIFA training online for people
This was an idea having seen some tweets for help to us @fifaaddiction Basically people losing lots or seemingly having unresponsive players. How about we try to help by playing people and training them. Look at their teams and formations and tactics and style of play see if we can spot any issues and give tips. Play a few Ultimate team or head to head games and change various things and try to give advice where required. Maybe then each week we can help a few players who follow the site and found it useful.
So I tweeted out today if anyone would like help 1 on 1 and sure enough a few people said they would love it. On a 1st to respond basis Dave was the chosen 1st gamer we said would try and help. Went on Xbox Live had a quick chat about what were his main frustrations and issues in the game. These were the game seemingly unresponsive and not fluid and weaker Ultimate Teams winning with silver players against his way better players and teams.
1st thing which is on our site here – https://fifaaddiction.com/fifa-issues/lag-fix really is key. Go to the main FIFA menus and edit teams, download latest squad updates. If it downloads a squad update that usually goes a long way to fixing strange gameplay issues. Even on Ultimate team. Straight away Dave noticed a big difference in how smooth the game was. Having a good connection in FIFA and smooth response is essential, doesn’t matter how good you are if it is bad you will be frustrated by the game. Now lots and lots of people have so many issues, some down to their setup and some down to EA having a few issues in their game and servers.
2nd Dave was actually good at FIFA and although I won the 1st game 3-0 I could see it was just greater knowledge of the small details which was the difference. Winning tackles, winning headers and one big thing – custom formations and tactics. His players were out of position lots due to the normal tactics used in FIFA and the players having their own defense and attack levels. Custom formations changes this so you decide how defensive and attacking players are. Having explained how to set them up and helped Dave create them he was now armed for a rematch. Suddenly he was dominating play and first half I was struggling to stop Hazard from controlling the game. 2-0 down at half time I had to make a couple of tweaks, adding a higher pressure tactic in the middle of the pitch to cut off Hazard. Worked a treat and got it back to 2 each. Then in extra time MOM Lavezzi (don’t forget our giveaway – https://fifaaddiction.com/3190/96-messi-and-mom-lavezzi-giveaway-fut-12) found a yard in the area to power home the winner at an angle. A game which could have gone either way.
So apart from the 3rd goal Dave was very happy at the help and training and could see the benefits of the advice straight away. Hopefully he will now go on to beat more of those teams who were winning before. What we will do is try to help a few people a week and from what we learn about players and FIFA together will create some videos to help others.
If interested in having some help tweet us @fifaaddiction
are you still doing 1 to 1 training ?
We stopped that to concentrate on providing more detailed help sections. Lots to come. Still mastering the game at mo to fine tune the new help.
HI, i want to make a good team on FUT but never get it right. seeking for your help. Please reply.
My team chemistry never go more than 50%. I know i should have players from same country, same league, etc. but how to get them as i do not get them at auction. I have seen so many players having tevez aguero, kaka, ozil, gomez etc in thier line ups. how do they get such players. Please help me brother.
Basically people spend lots of actual money to buy packs. Some hundreds of pounds desperate to get amazing teams. Also following our trading blog you can make coins easily. So don’t need to buy lots of packs. Stay calm and play offline tournaments build up your coins.
Make sure your players are in the right formations and in the right positions. If you want really high chem focus on getting same players from same team/league and/or nationality. If you get two out of the three for 8-11 of your players you will get much better, defensively and offensively…
You can find cheap good players in auction house, look out side of the BPL I suggest italia seria A and/or bundesliga
Its a combination of all the advice on the site really. Formation, tactics, how you play the game, the players you use. Updating the Ultimate team section so will add a new page helping people build a team.
I know this post is pretty old, but I thought I’d try anyway…. do you train players on the ps3? I don’t have a twitter account (if I made one I’d never check it anyway) so thought I’d at least comment here.
Unfortunately not, we attempted to do lots but although they were successful just really hard to arrange them. Also too many people who were actually good at FIFA and just wanted to beat us at it. Looking to add far greater in depth help and videos for 13.
Well, just have to say I was a yo-yo player on head to head seasons. I was in division 8 and my best finish was division 7 (12 points), however, after the training I have just been promoted to division 3 after 3 promotions off the belt.
This was all with 3 basic tips!
Massive thanks, I always enjoyed the game, but am loving it now.
Can you have costum formation in UT? If so, how to fix it? E.g. can I make a formation like 4-2-1-3 in UT or do you just mean overall?
Can have whatever you want but the game might name it diff like 4-3-3 when they clearly are 4-1-2-3 etc
I cant wait to have a chance to get expert tips from you! I tweeted and I actually got responded for a training session this weekend! I am so excited to open up a brand new aspect to this great game! Thank you for doing this for us fans!
No worries will send you DM on twitter to arrange it.
what is important or good to change in custom tactics? e.g if you play 4-1-2-1-2
Just working on updating and adding the formation and tactics section to fully explain custom versions and how to use them. Look out for tweets for when it will be ready.
Once again guys I can’t thank you’s enough can’t stop winning at the moment today started a match never put custom tactic nothing on at half time I was 2 down so went to the custom formation we made and bang final score was 6-2 never seen such fantastic attacking football last nite came across an 87 rated team as you can guess it had Ronaldo and co my team as you know is 79 rated so at the start I paused it put on the tactic 35 minutes gone I was 5 up untill he raged quit if like me you have spent hundreds of pounds on ultimate team and always kept getting beat from small bronze or silver teams then these guys will help you just like they helped me and once again guys thanks ever so much you truly have helped me become a better player
Cheers Dave glad all going well and we have definitely improved your game. Excellent that our idea is giving positive results and helping people.
