help!? any advise from you fifa 15 sage's out there??

i just cant seem to bag goals in professional level. maybe 1 every 2 games. it's killing me. it's killing my career team. im basically reduced to defending so i can pick up a point each game. and its not just in career mode. i play other tournaments with stronger teams and its the same.

i had to move up from semi pro because it was ridiculously easy. i won the FA cup v chelsea with york city from league 2. i moved to league one and im still knocking teams down by at least 4 goals a game.

but professional. i just can get any shots in. i cant get a man in the box with the ball. i take long shots but everything is going straight to the keeper.

any advice??? save me from sending my controller through my tv screen.

Step 1: Be less shit.

But, FIFA is a weird game. You need to find a way that works for you (I like having inverted wingers to cut in from out wide and a pacey #9 and twin #10s in a 433).
Try using feint shots and one touch passes. Chipped through balls are also a good outlet if you have pace up front. Find a reloable player you can get the ball to who can beat his marker as well.

Another problem might be that stepping from semi-pro to pro (I usually play on World Class) could make controlling players more difficult/their stats become more weighted/opposition defenses use smarter AI. If you're playing with a L2 team, most of your players no doubt have rubbish ball control and techjical skills.

Just practise is the best advice I can give you but. And make the most of your free kicks and corners.

If you've just changed your difficulty you might just need more practice at that level, over time you'll get better.

But personally if i start struggling to score I'll change formation/tactics or just rotate my strikers.

the main issues im having now are passes getting through. they all get cut out.

im also having issues with holding on to the ball to get into a spot to shoot.

maybe it is the players, ive only got one guy at 74 and he is from the youth academy. the rest are mid 60's.

i have behich, burns and good. do you have issues using players at this level?

In the past I've guided lower rated teams to the Prem on World Class difficulty as well as using 60 rated bronze players in Div One online, yes it can be difficult but its still possible to have success.

Seeing as you're in League 1 on a relatively low difficulty it shouldn't be a problem, I think you're new at the game and it will just take time and practice to get better at it.

From what you've said above it sounds like your pushing passes/forcing shots that aren't on. Look to recycle possession more, try and spread your attack across the whole field, make overlapping plays with your wingers and fullbacks trying to create 2 on 1s and learn how to fake shot so you can in when you're in the box.

Exploit the computer's weaknesses.

its coming along now. im starting to thump them on pro. thanks for the tips..

my main issue was holding the sprint button too much.

stop being ugly

rude

Hold down that delightful left trigger

Adjust sliders

Fake a shot suck those defenders in.

It'll help you scored

I'm in a similar boat, but then I just moved Hong Chul to LW and life is easy. Best value player in FIFA15 hands down.

it's my look

the biggest issue i had was the jump from semi to pro. ive used the sliders to slowly adjust. i didnt know you could do that.

this is funny. im now playing on legendary and it's getting a bit easy.  although the jump to fifa17 is slowing it a bit.

the corners are shit.

Also finding the game a bit easy this year and completely agree RE corners.

im struggling a little with the change to ps4 and the new fifa17 gameplay but i will get there.

Legendary on FIFA17, sooooo many 0-0 draws and 0-1 defeats...  Almost 3 seasons in on manager mode and I've finished mid-table each year with less than a goal-a-game throughout the season.  26 goals from 28 games in current season.  Have tinkered with tactics, formations, players, etc.  Nothing changes...  Weeks of goal-less football, then I'll belt someone 4-0, then it's back to bore-draws.

Defensively, no problem.

Not playing an overly defensive game... 4-3-1-2 with the full backs overlapping all the time, etc.

What team are you playing with?

ive issues adjusting to 17. having to hit barcelona level passing in the box to score. getting a few from the power pass to tge open man in the box.

also getting some luck from the lofted through ball into the box instead of using the cross.
