Should he go straight into 'career mode' or whatever it's called on the beginner level? (he's currently playing as Real Madrid on semi-pro level but it's just friendlies on the demo) I also bought him a headset and I know you can play on-line and stuff but I just want to get him up and running tomorrow and then leave him alone on it all day The game also came with some special codes and he's also got a £20 PlayStation store voucher so guess he can buy add on's with that? Any advice on where to start would be appreciated. Thanks Whatever you do, do not leave a credit/debit card on the account else you’re son will have Credit Card FC team in no time, and you will probably be skint

You can take on teams with lower chemistry (below 60) and still don't know whether you'll be playing against Barcelona or Notts County 2018/2019. There are people much better at the game than you, right? I mean I assume you accept that? Again, I really don't mean this to be a personal insult there's people much better than me too that's fine. We're in our thirties and it's just a computer game ffs. I'm just saying, do you think you, as a very average fifa player, should be capable of winning on the highest difficulty level? I mean, it's not like there aren't plenty of difficulties, there should be one out there for everyone, including me and you, including kids way worse but also including people that are very, very good so the game can still be a challenge. Would you not agree with that? You seem to be upset that "they made it harder when it was already hard" but that's FOR YOU. Not everyone. I don't really get why this is confusing. I like Pillars of Eternity, it's a pcrpg. One of my favourite games. It's got several difficulty levels, including one called Path of the Damned which is absolutely rock solid and there are people out there that solo it. They do it with one character. I play the Hard difficulty, a couple levels lower, with a party of five and I still find some of it challenging. But that's fine because they wanted to make a game for me and also a game for those nutters with a death wish who like it to be impossibly hard. Why not also make fifa fun for both you and people much better than you who want a challenge?

He might enjoy the Journey mode.

As others have said, probably best to try and keep him away from Ultimate Team for now, as it is essentially a 'pay to win' game mode and he might start pestering for money for packs and stuff. Also, if he hasn't played on a higher level than semi-pro he's likely to get thrashed on Ultimate Team to start with, although maybe I'm underestimating his ability

Why not also make fifa fun for both you and people much better than you who want a challenge? Nobody's debating that there are people who play FIFA for a living, as well as the other pros that exist. I'm not claiming to be overly good or overly terrible, and being called "very average" is probably a bit harsh when you're stuck somewhere in between these two extremes - this past weekend showed what fine margins there are, when you lose so many games by a single goal. I've also won matches against arguably better/more talented players - there's lots of factors coming into play. Daily form, focus/concentration, lag, luck. Squad Battles has become harder in general, not just for me. The complaint isn't about the mode being tougher now, it's how EA implemented these changes. Secretly. No information. Just like what you'd expect from the company.
MC Prussian Posted 24 December 2018 Posted 24 December 2018 Also, what the **** have EA done to the Quick Subs system? Suggesting to swap a RM for a CDM or a ST for a CAM when I have perfectly fitting subs in each position sitting on my bench is laughable. Another thing that they have fondled with recently, with nonsensical outcome. The only good thing so far that I've seen, based on this past weekend's Weekend League, is that Finesse Shots have been nerfed. The amount of times opponents could just pass it around for a bit and then shoot from outside the box for a 100% goalscoring accuracy was really taking a lot of the fun out of the game. Totally overpowered.

Ultimate team is all well and good but it’s horribly addictive and rage inducing Set him up a career mode with city and he’ll be loving it. Any questions about the game or even the PlayStation itself feel free to ask/DM me. Merry Christmas
matty98 Posted 24 December 2018 Posted 24 December 2018 I play squad battles a fair amount, can't say I've noticed any difference with Legendary getting harder, still think it's easier than World Class.

Will1981 Posted 24 December 2018 Posted 24 December 2018 How many FUTMAS players have you all completed: https://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app/?showoffId=dihSHIcEnPl2o:FFA19PS4 I have done 16 and will probably complete Cazorla during the week.

I only did Gomez, I thought they were massively over priced for minimal upgrades. Gomez has been awesome for me tho

Only Lukaku and Subasic, the cheap ones. Most of them have been well overpriced.

I only did Torreira as it was cheap. Wish they’d done a few more players similar rated to him without the ridiculous requirements. Would like KDB but it’s to expensive for what it is, il stick to his normal card.
Buzzell Posted 25 December 2018 Posted 25 December 2018 Rivals is unplayable for me now. Literally every team is ridiculous. Coming up against Legend/God squads time and time again and I’m only in Division 5. Struggling to even stay in it now.

I like it there as I find I mostly have good matches. I'm sure a few people in it though curse when they see my A team(LaLiga). I switch it up though and use my PL squad, which is a bit more low budget.
Izzy Posted 25 December 2018 Posted 25 December 2018 Wow this game is great incredible! My sons not sure why his name is Hunter and he’s a young girl in LA though He enjoyed Leicester beating Cov in 1969 with the old ball and muddy pitch. No idea what we’re doing yet but it’s all good fun

howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 25 December 2018 Posted 25 December 2018 Sold Fifa last week after getting fed up of it, had 50k coins in my club and opened a pack, got that Van Dijk special card.

The problem is is that The Journey is connected to Ultimate Team due to the special cards you can earn in the mode. Clever marketing by EA. Be wary, @Izzy!
