im gonna create a ultimate team but dunno wat should i build a cheap premiership team cheap national team cheap serie a team any suggestions of wats best and wat players for team i dont have much coins so have to be cheap

Avoid English and Spanish teams like the plague.

Your best bet will be to go either Russian, Italian, German or Hybrid.

Russian:

---------------Akinfeev
Angbwa--bocchetti--alves--Criscito
-----------Denisov--Carlos
Danny-----------------------Honda
---------Doumbia--Wellington

4-2-2-2.

Italian:

-------------Stekelenburg
Abate------Lucio---Chiellini---Balzaretti
-----------Inler----Vidal
--Giovinco-----Jovetic------Robinho
--------------Cavani

4-2-3-1.

You could also swap Robinho for Elia.
Jovetic for Hamsik, Inler for De Rossi, Cavani for either Forlan or Pato.

German team:

----------------Adler------
Rafinha--Subotic---Hummels--Schmelzer
---------Bender----Rolfes
---Kagwa------Gotze------Muller
---------------Gomez

Other viable options could be; Farfan, Raul, Huntelaar, Barrios or lewandowski.

Hybrid team:

Brazil/EPL Hybrid.

-------------Cech
Rafael----Luiz---Alex---Marcelo
--Anderson--Willian--Ramires
Valencia----Lukaku---Mata

(this is just an example of one possible hybrid team).

Hope this helps mate, if you need any more help possibly try the EA FUT12 forums or the the FUT database (ultimatedb.nl/)

The Moon. {Ed007's Note - I worry about you sometimes Moon :-)

I have too much free time on my hands bond :).

works a little quiet so I spend my time doing anything related to football :).

The Moon.

Wat would u say the best out of them four teams are

Depends what you're after. If you want the cheapest and probably the easiest to play with go with the Russian because of the pace.

If you want a decent creative side with a fair bit of pace go italian.

Go germans if you want to play a passing game.

go for the hybrid example if you wan an all round solid team, although yuo've got to be able to keep the ball well if you're going 4-3-3 especially with 3 reasonably fast midfielders.

for fifa 13 i hope they change the difference between the difficult levels for example the difference between semi pro and professional are to big if they want you to build up your level they need to be more even so either make pro a little easier or semi pro a little harder

Or something beyond Legendary? It can get frustrating sh*tting the league in every year. If you want something to build up your gameplay either mates or online are the best practice.

Melbourne CFC

They do have it, beyond Legendary is Ultimate. you should try it.

Fifa Ultimate Team Question:

do you carry forward your team to the FIfa 13? coz im kinda not gonna have a ps3 for 2 months which by then fifa 13 will come out. now if i cant carry forward my players then im gonna sell the players to some of my friends for cash i guess since it wont be any use to me.

Kaizer

Its 3 months to fifa 13 late august it comes out wont there be a euros game or r they just going to use the exstention to fifa 12

Dunno bout carrying your team but my coins from fifa 11 carried over wen i started fifa 12 i only had 3k so dunno if u had 2 mil if they would let u carry them all over as mite be bit unfair

Hmm coins carried forward? my team might be worth abit i guess. prices have dropped heavily recently. but i wouldnt mind bringing forward abit of coins. I dont have any IF or TOTY coz i dont think their gonna let u bring ur IFs anyway lol. but normal players? who knows ey. I could probably sell my whole team n buy ronaldo if i can carry them forward to UT13 sell him and build a team lol.

Kaizer

Your team won't carry over, There's an online thing on the web app called FUT generations which is a mixture of all your UT players which is supposed to be a playable mode on FUT next year, but they won't literally carry over due to transfers, rating changes, retirements, etc.

I wish they did though, my FUT10 team incredible compared to my FUT11 and FUT12 teams.

The Moon.

Not even coins the Moon? if coins can be carried over i might sell them for coins then just hold on to the coins.

Kaizer

Not that I'm aware of. In FUT11 I've got a little over 700K in coins which never carried over. The only think EA offer you is through the Web app where they give you gifts every day until FIFA13 is released, so things like 500 Coins, a Free gold pack, etc.

How come on FM12, I never get a larger transfer budget than 30m? Even though I win the league every year and at least one cup.

Ted

Have you tried asking the board for more funds?

If they're pleased with your work and you've been there a while they will probably accept your request.

I'm playing FM12 and I've gone from Gillingham to Villa, to Spurs, to Inter to Barcelona. I've just got an asst manager with;

Motivation 20
Discipline 19
Man management 20
Tactical knowledge 18
Tactical coaching 19

But when I use his advice with team talks all my players seem to lose motivation, look disinterested, etc. I even hired another coach with 20 motivation, 20 discipline and 19 man management skills yet they still don't respond at all.

Is it because they're all world beating stars and have massive Ego's or something?

Help Ed.

The Moon.

If it mirrors real life probably lol {Ed001's Note - the assistant manager is absolutely useless in FM, I really don't see the point in having them as anything more than a coach.}

Oh Okay Ed, my OP doesn't matter now anyway, I won everything then left Barcelona. Been unemployed for nearly a full season now! haha.

also i can't wait for halo 4, looks amazing, the two new enemies that have been leaked look interesting too, any other halo fans on here?

{Ed033's Note - fifa and FM page is something to keep in mind if there are enough posts for them

I am a huge Halo fan and the graphics look beautiful, I personally don't like the look of the Spartan IVs that will be used in multiplayer, but everything else looks amazing. Have you seen the box art?

When PS4 comes out how long will PS3 online servers continue to be active? Aimo.

Lol have i misses something here ed?

Whens it relesed? {Ed023's Note - Apparently 2013. Could be well off the mark though.. Maybe a fellow poster might know better}

I can't see Sony releasing a PS4 for some time.
They made a loss on every PS3 sold.
They are currently restructuring the whole company and have debts that go into billions.

They won't be able to afford to invest the money needed to get the PS4 off the ground for some time.

Then there is the fact that the PS3 is good enough to be able to be around for a very long time and not be out of date.

It is blu-ray compatible, high definition, 3D compatible, can stream media, has wireless controllers (dualshock and the 'Move' system).

Plus the games are still not using the full potential of what is inside the PS3 yet.

The PS3 was give a 10 year life expectancy and was released in 2006 so we're only just half way through it's expected span. however, because the Xbox is supposed to be announced at this years E3 and shown at next years E3 as well as the new Wii U console expected for release within the next year Sony may be FORCED to release the the PS4 sooner than what people think.

Especially with the talk of Valve, Apple and Nintendo releasing a 'hardcore' gaming unit within the next 3 years.

If Sony don't act fast enough they will get left behind, therefore the likelihood is that if the rivals of Sony in the gaming industry start releasing plans for new consoles over the next 2 years then Sony WILL release a console over that period as well.

Although if you fish around a but you can find information about the new Heavy Rain game being developed for a system far more powerful than the current PS3 which tells you something.

Oh, and Sony made a loss on every PS3 sold? well they cost around £40.00 each to manufacture and they are then sold on for between £180.00 and £350.00. explain to me where the loss is?

The Moon.

I have a friend that used to work for Ubisoft. He showed me some figures regarding the PS3 (when it was released).

Sony were taking a big loss on each PlayStation 3 console it sold, on the basis that they would make money back on other items such as games, controllers and downloadable media.

Console makers often sell their hardware at a loss with the hope of profiting from the games that run on them. But Sony's loss on each PlayStation 3 was a lot higher than expected.

The combined materials and manufacturing costs for each device come to about $800 excluding the cost of the controller, cables, and packaging.

With a suggested retail price of $499, that meant Sony was taking a loss of about $300 on each console it sold.

As a comparison, at the same time the manufacturing costs for the Xbox 360 were about $320 and they were being sold for about $400.

Didnt Naughty Dog come out and say they carnt get anymore out the ps3 visually and gameplay wise.

My mistake then mate, I didn't think the costing was as high as what it actually is. However I don't think that Sony will hold off on the PS4 especially with Microsoft, Valve, Apple and Nintendo releasing consoles over the next 2 or so years.

I'd expect them to bring out another console which is slightly more powerful with a new online subscription based service.

i know they may not be many i have just started fut on fifa 12 and im looking for good players for around 400 coins i have picked up sessengon from sunderland but need oters any help looking to mount a challenge online soon

Others {Ed007's Note - Don't worry about silly typos mate.}

This entirely depends on the sort of team you're looking at building, do you want pace, strength, technical ability, etc. what formation do you play? what sort of players would you like. are you simply building a gold squad because a lot of silvers and bronze players are just as good, etc.

Because I don't know exactly who you're after I'd suggest going on to the FUT Database (ultimatedb.nl).

some of the really cheap players I found when playing the game are;

Joey Barton.
Adam Johnson.
Zamora.
Dembele.
Fabio.
Lindegaard
Lukaku (basically a quicker drogba)

As I said though, it might be work just looking on the database and using the filters to find exactly what you're looking for, the prices are pretty accurate as well.

Hope this helped.

Piatti from Valencia is rapid, try him mate.

can some1 help me describe the term pace abuser?

Kaizer

{Ed033's Note - Players that max the team out with fast players. Then play the game to exploit the pace as much as they can

I admit i do have pacey players, but if i beat his players with roulettes, stepovers and flicks, why would i be called pace abuser? ive posted some of my teams. just because i have bale on my left and gervinho on my right, getting through balls from gerrard, and im a pace abuser? i just dont get it. if i simply ran all the way i would understand, but i didnt. maybe i should play a team full of carraghers.

Kaizer

You're fine the Kaizer.

If you're playing somebody who's got the fastest players and simply sprint down the wing and square it into the box or through ball/chip through ball all the time then they're seen as a pace abuser. Although if you're beating players with skills and passing around them, etc. then you're doing nothing wrong :).

The Moon.

Does it matter? If you are good enough its easy to stop pace.

Adam

Adam, yeah in a way it does. I rarely play my Xbox or PS3 now but when I did and I played FUT I used to play 3-4-3 because I like to hold possession, even with Silva and Kompany (Vidic was my 3rd CB) who are relatively quick defenders I still had no chance against people who would simply sprint down the wing with 95+ pace players and 'sweat', 'skank', etc. the ball. drove me mental.

I don't have a problem with people having loads of quick players, I have an issue with people who just run all the time.

The Moon.

If there going down the wing it's ok but playing one two's and running clean through then it's annoying. The best way to stop them from doing it is to track the runner by making sure you control the defender closest to him don't go towards the ball follow the player running then maybe when he's beyond the back 4 stop tracking he's offside and the other player wont pass then works a treat 90% of the time if executed correctly.

Quick question about FM:

I have a transfer budget of 33m, I signed Ganso for 33m in installments over 48 months.
Can I buy another good player in installments or will it put my club in serious debt?

Lads, regarding Black Ops 2, wait till they release the next COD game and ye will love it. For now i'm sure ye will enjoy MW3.
Its the exact same as Black Ops, when it came out it was s**t and the worst COD game ever, but once MW3 came out everyone loved Black Ops and thought MW3 was s**t.

The makers of cod take advantage of the thousands of people who play the game. they know people will buy it and so they release a game that is sub standard and poor quality. They should release a beta for people to try it before they go and spend £40 on a poor game.

Considering getting Xbox Live i have one question though, if anybody can answer it would be much appreciated.

Ive been looking at Xbox's wireless adaptor and it seems it is out of my price range. Is it only these adaptors that work or are there any other makes i may be able to pick up at a cheaper price?

I read something about Wireless Bridge/Wireless gaming adaptors and that they work. But not entirely sure.

Foozeball

Bridging is ridiculous and honestly I wouldn't recommend it.

What sort of Xbox do you have? if you've got a slim well then it has the wireless built into it so you've got no problem.

I know there are other brands of wireless adapters available on Ebay but I've never used one so I don't have an opinion on them.

You could always move your wireless Router and connect the xbox with an ethernet cable? However if you can't do that then you'll need a wireless adapter, obviously, I would suggest getting an official MS one, maybe you can pick one up on Ebay for around £15.00/£20.00

The Moon. {Ed001's Note - it really doesn't come with a built in adaptor? I am so glad I have never got an Xbox!}

I know ed, it's slightly mental!

They don't add one on and then when the Xbox was first released they charged you £50-60 for the adapter. crazy.

I've got a PS3 to by the way ed and apart from the fact that PS3 feels better built I still prefer the Xbox. Both are great consoles n'all but the Xbox appears more social to me and I think the Party system, although such a little thing makes a huge difference in my eyes.

Although, with that said I spend a lot of time playing games on the PC now..or on my Laptop playing FM when I'm supposed to be working haha.

Oh, and speaking of FM12 Ed, is there a way to increase your wage structure? I'm trying to sign Sanchez Watt and he wouldn't budge from his £21K asking wage. even when I have the key player setting I still can't go any higher than 19K! it's doing my head in!!! haha. I've missed this sort of frustration.

The Moon. {Ed001's Note - you have to ask the board. I tend to play on the PC mostly, or on my Vita or phone these days. I don't really bother with the PS3 much, I don't have the time for it.}

Cheers, Ed, they said no to that but then said yes to finding me a parent club and allowing me to employee more coaches and physio's haha...btw is finding a parent club a good Idea when you're a league 2 club?

ah, I very rarely get to sit down on any of my consoles at the moment. whenever I'm finished working, by time I settle down and relax the mrs wants to watch TV haha. And I really can't be bothered shifting things into the spare room or my room. :). so I stick to FM12 when I have the time for it or I waste my life on the football/conspiracy and this site :).

The Moon. {Ed001's Note - I find the parent club is good if your youth system isn't top class, if it is you are better off developing your own kids.}

My Youth is pretty average, I'm at Gillingham at the moment. I've sold a few of the players on and managed to get a few players from the bottom spanish leagues who are miles better than what I currently have.

Can I look for a parent club myself? because the club can't seem to find one.

The Moon. {Ed001's Note - it will give you the option to choose one if they trust you as a manager.}

Foozeball mate dont get the non oficial one there only 5 pound cheaper and the 1 i got for my sons caused issues with his xbox an e 76 error which i believe is an eternet chip issue ant that was £32 the official 1 is only £35 but in the shops near me you can get a pre owned 1 for £18. my other son decided he wanted an xbox i was going to get him the arcade 1 with the wireless adapter but once i had done the math,s it was cheaper to get him the xbox slim which has built in wireless if you get the arcade you will probably nee a hard drive as well thats 15 it worked out only 5 pound more for me to get the slim hope this helped
giblet

There is something you can get which I use on my Xbox. It's an adaptor that is fitted to your router an then plugged in the wall. Then you get another that plugs in from the wall into your Xbox. The Internet passes through the wiring in your house. Advantage of this is that you have the best connection you can get and is cheaper than an official wireless adaptor.

Hope this helps mate.

Ed,

I have an issue with steam/FM, I got a new Laptop because my other one broke, I installed Steam onto my new laptop and tried installing the game again. my Steam account said it hadn't been verified and it also said that no games were/have been downloaded on my account before (bare in mind this is my only Steam Account), so I thought I would install it from the Disk and it asks for the CD key everytime I try to install it...I threw the CD key booklet thing away a few weeks after I got the game because I didn't think I would need it again...and now I'm a little lost.

I can't gain access to the other laptop because it had completely broken so we had to throw it away and I don't know how to download it directly from steam.

Help?

The Moon. {Ed001's Note - you need to contact Steam, you should be able to access your Steam account on any computer and play the games you have on there.}

Fixed it Ed! turns out I did have 2 accounts afterall.

You just need to cheer up mate lol

Its got horses and things that blow up!! Yay.... They really need to stop bringing a new one out every year.

Fut question
Gervinho vs valencia as a RM, not a RW who would u pick? Deploying them as a winger in 4-1-2-1-2 n a 4-4-1-1 team, looking for abit of dribbling, pace n crossing. Feeding ba, dzeko, carroll, hernandez, suarez depending on the type of formation i play. Now im currently using valencia, at first he was doing well but overtime i feel that he is the only part in the team that i wanna change now. Need some opinions on whether changing to gervinho would be a good choice? I cant afford IF valencia. I know trial n error is whist i need to do but i would love to hear other peoplles opinions as well. Other players can be recommended too, provided he is in epl of course.

Kaizer {Ed023's Note - Junior Hoillet did fairly well for me in a 4-3-3 formation, provided lots of assists and also chipped in with a few goals. My front 3 was Hoilett Griffiths & Gaston Ramirez. 3 of those got me champs league promotion with Leicester. I had Gaston on loan from Ac Milan and then signed him for 3 mill in the summer. That front 3 cost me roughly 10 million}

Urm sry ed023, i was referring to fifa ultimate team, not fm i think the 1 ur refering to? :(

Kaizer

I'd suggest having 3 right sided midfielders;

Toni V - simply because he's a traditional winger.

Ben Arfa - what a player he is on the game.

Adam Johnson - I know he plays LM but he's good on the right.

The reason I wouldn't suggest Gervinho at RM is because his crossing isn't great and neither is his stamina so he won't offer much defensive cover and the fact that his main attributes are more for an inside forward/winger so he wouldn't be as effective playing at RM over RW.

The Moon.

{Ed023's Note - To kaizer. Sorry mate, I thought you were referring to FM lol. My bad.}

The Moon

but on FUT stamina is not really a problem? im using gervinho right now n i find him to be better than valencia. even with more pace, i find gervinho to be much quicker than valencia, easier to get pass opponents. better on the ball as well IMO. now this, i think is most likely due to valencia's lack in agility. agility does affect alot to a players speed i guess? at 96 acceleration n 95 sprint speed, i just feel as though he's not that fast when im playing him. Gervinho is not that bad TBH, i find him much better than Valencia, suits my style more, crossing is not too bad, Demba Ba (84) and Dzeko are banging in the goals, cant wait to get Drogba, sigh 35k coins to collect now. overall, id say my switch from valencia to gervinho was a good choice.

hey while we're at it, who is the better header? Drogba or Van Persie (86) cant afford the 88 one lol.

Ed023 no worries ed :)

Kaizer

Oh, fair enough then mate haha. I couldn't stand Gervinho, he seemed to be too fast haha.

Yeah, Gervinho's quicker because his acceleration is miles better than Toni's.

Try out Ben Arfa though! goes for like 1K so you can't go wrong with him really. And I would probably say Drogba is, although this Drogba isn't as good as the FIFA11 version. so maybe try RVP, the best player I can recommend for heading is Klose (obviously) but if you're only look at EPL players then Aguero and TOTW Balotelli are really good in the air.

Especially Balotelli in terms of all round play, pretty much a carbon copy of Drogba but he's faster and has a slightly better shot from close range.

Drogba from distance is unbelievable though.

The Moon.

Thanks mate, i love to hear other peoples opinions before i buy a player, u have been a big source of that here to me, haha thanks.

i am deciding between drogba persie or aguero i guess, but im leaning more towards drogba as of now. im staying away from balotelli though, the lack of work rate with him just makes me lose interest in him. hes actually good though, the TOTW version of him.

ed a signed a player and a sent him out for 2 years to gain a work permit he has did all of the days he need to but it said he can`t speak basic croatian do u no anything i can do to get him a work permit

SM {Ed001's Note - you have to ask him to take citizenship.}

He is out on loan again so how do i ask him to take citizenship and thanks for the help

sm {Ed001's Note - you have to speak to the player, not sure if you can ask them to do so while on loan though.}

A bit l8 i know but keep him out on loan in croatia once can spk croatian he will get citizinship .. how long depends on a players adaptability

Normally if you offer him a new contract he automatically gains a work permit if he has played enough games at senior / under 21 international level.

If anyone's into their old school type games then I highly recommend finding a download of Day Of The Tentacle. If you find it to but you will need a 5n a half inch floppy drive. For those that dont know it well you should its one of the best games ever made! Its hilarious and its a challenge as well! Highly recommended! Better than most of the regurgitated pish you get these days!

Evinguu

I always liked Maniac Mansion.

Jigglypoof

Cant disagree with that, was just as good!

Sam n max lucas arts game was awesome aswell.

Evinguu {Ed001's Note - where do you get them both? I have never heard of either.}

I got a torrent. Took a while though, couldnt fint an http download. Hash for torrent - 31403d833a3fb5e5ced7a6f9c1d4a87612a6c8e6 (just google it) im still seeding it. But dont think many others are. I am trying to think of somewhere free to upload it too. Anyone know any free sites? its only 8mb. MAybe even email ed? Will attach mine here and you can send me an addy to forward the file too maybe?

Also need scumm or similar to run it properly. Its free and safe ( well it is for me lol)

Evinguu {Ed001's Note - I use RapidGator.net to share files.}

I still have the Nes version of Maniac Mansion. Might actually finish it one day...

Jigglypoof

Rapidgator.net/file/4980914/Day_of_the_Tentacle.rar.html

scumm engine -

www.scummvm.org/downloads/

Cheers for the site Ed, hope it works!

Maniac mansion i found harder to come by. The scumm engine doesnt run it ( as it is included in Day of The Tentacle) but its not entirely necessary to play both. There may be a way to make scumm play the original.

Not put up Sam N Max, im downloading the wrestling and that game is 105mb zipped and ive not opened it yet to see if it works yet. Will upload it when i do.

It can probably be found as a nes rom somewhere.

Hope its enjoyable! I certainly love this game!

Evinguu {Ed001's Note - cheers mate! I used to have an emulator on my last phone for NES, SNES etc, but I haven't got round to putting it on this one.}

Well i dunno bout using it on a phone, im using this stuff on PC. So dunno if theres anything to play this on a phone. Maybe there is somewhere.

Evinguu {Ed001's Note - there are a few emulators, I had a great on for PS1 games, I had just started playing one of the FF games on there. If I could remember what any of them were called, I would download them on the phone I have now.}

OH NO i have just signed a guy called Bas Dost and hes been rejected work permit.ED What can i do he looks good?HELP? {Ed023's Note - Nothing you can do which can be very annoying. If he's available may I suggest signing Leigh Griffiths. He scores for fun & that's at premier league level}

But Should i just loan Out to a Club in Europe because cant do Gateshead.Can u? {Ed001's Note - I would suggest loaning him to a club within the EU.}
