Anyone else using the web app atm? I'm struggling to work out how there are already Legend players on there...for well over 1m coins, that have bids on them already?!? How does EA let that happen? I'm struggling to build a squad of 22 gold players just by trading, yet there are people will well over 1m coins available to them...bit stupid really!

There's been major problems with the server today being launch day.

You can get some real bargains if you're lucky enough to land a bit because no one else can bid. 40k players are going for sub 1000 coins. Got 5 myself, now can't get back into UT. AHH!

I'd wish they'd fix the bloody game, number of times I'm brought down by the keeper when going round them and they either get a yellow card or nothing, but make a mis-timed tackle on the half way line and it's a red card.

Anyone else think this game is glitchy as hell. Bought this for my lad last week but it seems to jump about all over the place (PS4) especially on goal kicks. Also quite surprised to see how many transfers were missed (Falcao for example).

Some of the "fouls" I have been giving away are driving me nuts, I've been bundled over quite a few times and had a foul given against me!

That is probably quite realistic though. smile

Have you updated the squads? Once you do this the teams are sorted out, like Falcao and Wellbeck playing for their new teams.

Ah now, you see what happens when you leave an eight year old to sort it out. The papers told me that he was more tech savvy than me and I believed them. Thanks for the tip. I can now look forward to scoring loads of goals but still losing on the counter attack.

The game in extremely frustraiting.

I used to rage really bad with games when I was younger, over the last few years I gen a little annoyed, but this new Fifa has re-engadged the rage.

I've had the game about 2 weeks now, and have only played UT. Got a record of 72-2-3, which is made up of some single and multiplayer modes. To be fair, the multiplayer is quite good, as both players have the same problems. Although the servers as per usualy have been a joke.

What is most annoying the new AI. I used to play on Legendary on Fifa 14, struggle with Professional on this, World Class is impossible to play well; just grind out a win if lucky.

I drew against an AI Galatasaray on World Class. Game finished 3-3. I had 27 shots, 24 on target. They had 2 shots, 1 on targets, yet 3 goals so must be a bug. There goals were a 1st minute, couldn't tackle them. 2nd was a high through first time volley at the near post at a 2 degree angle which somehow went in. 3rd was to be fair, an awesome bicycle kick from a corner.

But the main thing so far for this year are:

1) Near impossible to tackle the AI
2) AI know you're every move
3) Players keepers can't save
4) Every game is a 100 minute match as there are ALWAYS 5 minute extra time both ways.
5) Referees blow way to often and give bookings for AI falling over the player they've just fouled who is on the floor.
6) Heading against the AI is really hard.
7) If a player who hasn't touched the ball is running but was offside, and you then change player and get the ball with the onside player, it still gives offside.
8) EA servers
9) The AI all play like Yaya Toure and do surging, untackalable runs all over the pitch.
10) The AI do perfect slide tackles 80% of their tackles.
11) Your players run into AI players off the ball a lot and fall over.

Those are just some. On the whole, it's not bad. It looks cleaner, smarter, and fresher than Fifa 14. They AI difficulties are just stupidly good. God knows what Ultimate is like on this game.

On a good note, the game has some really good music IMO.

Just started a Newcastle career on Pro. After sifting through the friendlies, my first game against City ended up 0-6, and Villa then spanked me 0-5. Probably quite realistic.

It came out on the Tuesday for North America, and I managed to get it a little earlier due to my work doing stuff with EA.

Anyone else having to go through the same process at the start of the game constantly. The process i am referring to is accepting terms and choosing a team...not that it's a long process, just a hassle.

Well I got rather lucky over the weekend, bagged myself a Bale, 87 overall value of 600k, in a 7500 pack!

Needless to say I was rather pleased, and have since sold him and invested in the squad smile

Nice! i rather stupidly sold my team that i built after winning seasons and cups etc. got around 250k all in, decided it'd be a great idea to buy packs...got Gary Cahill and that was literally it. no other player that sold for more than 1k. overall i must have spent close to 400k on packs so far...(i don't buy coins or packs with actual money) and the best player i've had so far is Xavi who sold for 16k....other than that...I've gotten Cahill and Oscar...both sold for under 20k...maybe i should stop buying packs...ha!

Anyone else fancy sharing their teams? Still got around 140k and have lent a mate 100k, ignore the subs and reserves, they just make up the numbers wink

Nice team, from your team only player I have is David Silva and find him pretty much useless actually found Cazorla better (84 rating)

My team is in progress at present.

GK - Hart
LB - Clichey
RB - Debuchy
CB - Koscienly
CB - Vertonghen
CDM - Matic
LM - Silva
RM - Walcott
CAM - Ozil
ST - Dzeko
ST - Van Persie

Reserves, Lukaka, Courtinho, Cazorla, Ramsey, Giroud, Mertesacker.

I basically built a Premier League team for now. I main with my English Bronze team generally which currently I'm about 48 games, 42 wins, 4 draws, 2 loses.

Whats your tactic / method for money making out of interest. I only have a small pocket of players I generally stick to and trade with.

Not a bad team, I tend to change quite a bit, so won't have my spanish team long I doubt.

Money-wise was pure luck, got a bale in a 7500 pack, he sold for 602k.. Never usually get lucky with packs so suppose I was owed one! I could use my spare money to buy cheap and sell on but don't really have the inclination to sit there and do that, plus I'm not hugely up on the prices. On top of that you've got to get atleast 5% more than you sell for due to the taxes..
