Any tips on what to set Pressure and Aggression to make Offside Trap work well in Career Mode?
Since Fifa 17 is harder due to SBCs. You can use site like futbin to check if the price are up or down since yesterday or day 1 etc...

Am I just completely blind or can you not select a particular team in the women's international tournament. I can add teams to a tournament but for the life of me I can't figure out how to choose the team your want to play as.
(Switch version by the way)
Edit: never mind I figured it out. I'm an idiot ha

Trying to get Offside Trap tactics working is frustrating. I put Pressure on 80% and Agression on 70% and my teammate AI keep playing the opposition onside as if they are ignoring the tactic!
...
How in the fuck. I got nothing but garbage from the Gold Upgrade packs.
I got a Son card last night but I don't think I got it on that pack

Why does he wear the mask!?
its all luck
but its worth doing if your team is already sorted imo, buy players for 400 max, so the pack costs about 4.4k, if you get a good pull its worth it

He's been incredibly lucky though.
I've got decent luck and packed Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho, Subasic, and a lot of 83/84 useless players that will come in handy when bigger SBCs hit.
And by the way: Vagner Love IF is a monster.

I'd sell him now if I were you. I cashed out on mine at 85k on PS4.
Lashley

Well, yeah. Obviously.
Still worth doing, as you say the useless ones come in handy for future sbcs

Pack luck continues, Manuel Neuer from the Marque Matchup packs. Tidy 200k there
Thought so. Was done with FIFA anyways, didn't play 17 a whole lot and FUT isn't for me.
Played till Gold 2 in FUT Champs - started well, 10-3, then it all collapsed
Got to Elite 1 on Squad battles, pulled a meh in-form, kept for future SBCs so either will use or sell at that time.
Got Goretzka (82 iirc) in a pack, sold for 30k+.
Current team: 4231
------------ Martial --------
Delafeou - Son - Sterling
----- Gueye - Bakayako ----
Kolasinac - Smalling - Bailly - Darmian
----------- Begovic ------------
Will pick up another RB when weekly rewards come in and maybe a CB for Smalling. Card isn't as good as last years.
Or buy Gabriel Jesus.
Would recommend buying Son, Gueye and Martial.

SBCs incoming for Promes (Russian League) and Casillas (Liga NOS) so if you have silvers from them leagues they will be worth a ton soon.
Lashley

no, untradeables if you mean the sbc
In that case, isn't it a better option to buy a gold pack for 7.500? It costs roughly 2.500 coins more, but you can get up to 3 rares and, if you hit the jackpot and get a great player, you can make a lot of money by selling it.
Lashley

I generally get better pack luck from the sbc rewards

Ran out of 1k coin bonuses from the store. The dream is dead.
In other news, do not sleep on Michail Antonio if you're putting together a Prem team and you're struggling with strikers. He's by far the best affordable striker. An absolute tank with pace and a lethal shot. A good chemistry style and you're laughing. He's been doing the dirty for me consistently.
Also quite a fan of Lanzini too.

Well if they gave the other versions a 7, then I could agree with the Switch version being a 5.
I'd remove 2 points for lack of online with friends and still no patch for goalies, alone. And yet it's still better than FIFA 17 and I can't stop playing this game, over 20 hours already.
Agreed. 5 is reasonable for the concessions.
IGN: "FIFA on Switch feels sluggish and slow, plays just like last years version (aka FIFA 17)"
Out of curiousity, I looked up FIFA 17's score on IGN:
"I love it, IT'S AMAZING! 9/10"
I thought it is quite a fine product, my only complaint would be the small transfer market, wish they can integrate everything together. I mean if we are going to compare games to games .. they will never be equal. Like we review PC vs console versions of the same game (for example, Skyrim, GTA5 etc), should PC version score higher since they have better graphics, better features (mods and customization) and most of the time cheaper, free online etc?
The Fifa on Switch should never been called Fifa 18, it's like an entirely different game. Good or bad, it's up to the person playing (portability vs graphics and extra features). Even the speed of the gameplay, passing and dribbling all feels different (even to Fifa 17, so I wonder if IGN really played the game or just took a dump on it like most people).

The effect an SBC can have on card values is nuts. Up until now, most of the ones I'd done you could be quite open with, but the marque matches up right now requires gold Australian League players. Cards that would have gone for discard value yesterday are now 10k. I hope that comes down before the end. I got lucky by having enough Japanese league cards already in the club. The Dortmund/Leipzig was done without having to buy anything too.
I'm finding Squad Battles a little frustrating too. You seem to get more points for winning 5-0 on a lower difficulty than just playing out games at your usual level, scoring under 5 and not getting a clean sheet. I don't mind playing against the CPU, but I don't want to put it down and play out the 5-0, 60% possession, 10 shots on target thing every game. They need to tweak the points. You should ALWAYS get more for winning on one difficulty than you'd get for the perfect game on a lower one.

Man the refs are terrible in this. They're somehow even worse than the refs in PES and I have no idea how they've managed that. I only play pro clubs though so maybe the nonsense is exclusive to that mode, but constantly my pro gets chopped down and no freekick given. Get shirt ripped off, no freekick.

There is absolutely nothing sluggish or slow about FIFA 18 Switch.

My Edinburgh friends will love the switch version
That's correct, it's fast and methodical.
Thats actually weird to read this as its probably the fastest Fifa out there with default settings, and if graphics arent extraordinary, the framerate is rock solid 60 fps.
