FIFA 14 - PC

I'm happy with longer half lengths,

although 10 min on assisted settings will be rugby match scores- I'm happy to play in the league with whatever everybody goes with. I will likely play on manual or semi-assisted (depending on how bad the ping pong passing gets with players).

I want to play the game, not let the cpu play it for me. So I'm more than likely going to lose every game. I just can't cheat myself. Each to their own though.

BUT DON'T YOU DARE think you beat me--the CPU helped you do it :wtf:

Just to reiterate, having the CPU play the majority of the game for you- is not fair.

Looking forward to some good matches.

So yeah- I say semi-assisted be the highest you can have. Why wouldn't you want to play the game? Give a try first guys! Your creativity will broaden so much more. Semi-assisted isn't nearly as bad as all-assisted- you have so much more control!

I'm actually on semi-assisted, so if you guys are happy with that, then cool. I forgot my settings from Fifa 13 was pulled into Fifa14. I agree that defending MUST be set to tactical defending. Legacy defending is cheating IMO.

You my friend- are a man among boys!
 
did you guys also experiencing bad connections online last night? or was it just me?:erm:

I also had issues. I'm using a 1mb line and I have an uncapped Cybersmart as well as a capped Afrihost account.

So far I only tried the Cybersmart account and it was no good.
 
Everything is fine for me I just left mweb for a openweb acc, but gaming on mweb was fine, i left for other issues

My telkom 2mb uncapped was also bad, Afrihost backup account was bad to start of but got better after 11pm

I had two good games with zedz last night. No problems with connection, no lag whatsoever. I'm on 2mb uncapped axxess.

Zedz! rematch soon bud! gotta make a move and leap to semi- assisted! You will be pleased man!
 
It looks like we will have to allow the following:

Default settings (too many players using it)
Semi assist
Manual

Only no Legacy defending
 
I can't get used to other settings won't help me in any other tournaments :( but yeah def rematch soon :D

I won't lie, this is a downer. To me it's like cheating using default. Like I said though, I'm happy to go with the consensus of the league.

It's heartbreaking that you guys as gamers won't even give it a try!

Also by the way- most competitive FIFA comps only go as high as semi if I'm not mistaken. Reason I don't play standard online, because a 10 year old pom with Millwall can give you a spanking, because he just button mashes!

We all love a 60 yard cross onto a players head to score a goal using two buttons. lolol.

If you enjoy footie, change to semi or manual during say a career and watch the game change for the better for you. Not every player is messi anymore.

I don't get why we can't use no Legacy if we can use all the other options and have assisted for controls?

If you're going to limit defending, you have to balance it out and do the same for attacking.

Just a thought: Why not equal the controls of the player you're playing against. So if you're up against a guy who is use-to and has been using say semi-assisted, then as the opponent you need to match that.

The assisted guys can have assisted fun with each other.

If most of the guys are assisted-then it won't be so bad to go up against 1 or 2 guys who use semi or manual-just saying.

Semi and manual takes your game to the next level. You will be able to do passes that other players can't.

The shooting is even more insane but it takes a lot of practice. Something I don't have time for.

Next level for sure- Really opens up the game to so much more, everything feels so much better and you can be so satisfied with the hard work when a goal is scored.

Assisted is just plain nuts for cheating like symptoms (I know it is not). BUT- just an example- Last night zed made a pass from about the halfway line to just outside the box, straight along the ground- between 3 defenders (congested together), with honestly, about a ball hair to spare. The precision was almost AI like....wait....what?

I enjoyed the game thoroughly, but moments like that leave a sour taste in my mouth.

For all the tournaments I have been to and all the online games that I have played on 13 have all been on default, that is why I am so used to it, its absolutely no use to play on manual or even semi for me because I will just get beaten everywhere else or online, I don't think I would have even came close to 1st division on 13 if I had manual or semi-assisted on

If you want to be able to play on the same footing as everyone you would have to match they way the higher percentage of the players play, like I gave trying manual a chance in division 7 on seasons in fifa 14 just now and I couldn't even get close to scoring 1st half, 2nd half I put it off and I won fairly easy :)
