I need some help, I'm rubbish at this game.
Hey guys,
I've been playing the FIFA series for a number of years, consistently playing since FIFA 09, but I did play FIFA 98 and 99 back in the day.
But, I've never really known the deep ins and outs of it.
Score goals, win matches, gain points, win leagues, trophies etc. This is obvious.
But I'm talking about in-game, gameplay. I play on World Class, maybe I should take it down a notch. But I just can't seem to make the right touches on the ball. When I get the ball and attack, I never feel totally comfortable or confident and usually I end up blowing my chances. I either do too much, too many passes and don't shoot and then I give the ball away or I make a bad touch and the other team gets possession.
I always play with my favourite team Man Utd and I just had a game against Aston Villa where I drew 3-3. So when Javier Hernandez or Robin Van Persie get the ball, I should make a great first touch and control the ball, but 90% of the time I make a terrible first touch which gives the ball away.
I've been looking at other help-threads on here and Manual Shooting comes up a lot. Any personal thoughts on whether it's better than semi-assisted?
And the other thing is I have no strategy whatsoever except for getting the ball in the back of the net. I think of managers like Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wegner who go into each game with a strategy and a match plan in order to win. I don't know if this is how I should play FIFA or if I should just try and get the ball in the back of the net.
I just watched the amazing ITV documentary Mourinho about his career in football and I learned a lot about him I didn't know. He seems to be a very organized man who goes into each game with a plan and I think this is how games should be.
Oh and I never play online, it's always offline against CPU.
I just need some help really in terms of a strategy, making better first touches and attacking.
And when I'm one-on-one with a defender, I want to know how to get around him to take it in to the box or cross it in.
And I'd love to know how to play with Manchester United properly. Meaning how to use Hernandez to his full potential, how to use Carrick to his full potential, same with Rooney, Ferdinand, Jones, all of them.
Sometimes I feel cheated, I was winning in one game against Inter but in the last few seconds, they did a mad rush, ultra-attacking and got the game to a draw. I want to play simulation, real life type football.
Any suggestions, advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
