The Next Four Matches...

Fifa 13 Scripting - Post 2

As a follow on from my previous post I decided to run another 4 matches using the "Match Intensity Calculator" as a test run to see if I can still get the same results.

However, I am now using a completely different team. I sold the team I mentioned previously for over 300k worth of coins and built myself what some, myself included, would call a "Pace Abusing" team.

Now I could never understand why some people would just buy a team full of ridiculously fast players I myself play a passing possession game hence why I had the Barcelona/Real Madrid combination of the previous team. However, the amount of times a came up against a team full of fast players who just hold sprint the entire match to try and catch you out was astounding. In addition to the speed you obviously had the momentum shift (Scripting) in matches. As a result it was a nightmare to defend using my favoured 3-5-2 formation which had supported me so well through my FIFA 11 campaign.

Even though this type of team goes completely against my core values as a FIFA player I decided to give it a go. The team I had consisted of the below using a 4-3-3 formation.

4.5 Stars - 100 Chemistry - 80 Rating

GK: Diego Alves
LB: Gael Clichy
CB: David Luiz
CB: Dede
RB: Danilo
CM: Ramires
CM: Lucas
CM: Paulinho
LW: Neymar
ST: Welliton
RW: Hulk

Lucas was bought as a CAM and changed to a CM with a CAM > CM card which cost me 10k!

The first match in Division 1 went horribly wrong the change in pace and style was just something I wasn't used to and even with understanding the match intensity I just couldn't overcome my opposition and lost the match 2-1.

I decided to give it another shot but this time instead of just trying to run like everyone else that has a team like this I resorted to just passing it about like I normally do hoping to only use the pace of the players if required.

Even with a team like this straight from kick-off the players felt sluggish and unresponsive. I'm sure many of you have experienced this as well. So I took my time passing around the back line and midfield just allowing the sluggishness to wear off and the momentum to shift in my favour. As I started to feel the match change I started to edge forward and what do you know my first shot went it. Not a bad start at all.

I repeated this process throughout the match and ended up winning 7-0. However, in my opponents defence he must have put the controller down at 4-0 because he didn't move for the remainder of the match but still it was a good result.

With this added confidence and fresh understanding of the advantages of this new team I started a new match but this time entered the Gold Cup to see what they could do in there. Currently I have won every Cup Tournament I have entered on FIFA 13 so far so I was a little nervous because I do get quite attached to undefeated records.

My opponent didn't exactly have the best team but he was decent enough, still a relatively easy match in truth which I won 5-2.

The final match I played was back in Division 1 again. This time my opponent had and amazing team consisting of players such as Hugo Lloris, Aguero, Kompany and Hazard among others. I knew it was going to be a tough one but stuck in there an actually won 3-1 with the help of a couple of lucky bounces but a win is a win in my eyes.

As before if you appreciate the points I have made above please spread the word and leave a comment.
