Remember how I played DM on fifa 13?

Was effective, we won in higher divisions because i constantly shadowed pace whores and cleared OTT through balls

I was so, so bored it was unreal. I got passed to maybe 3 times a game and I was always looking at the cpu attackers.

Can't ask people to do that tbh, it's ridiculously boring.

It's not like they can play like Pirlo either, you dont get enough of the ball in your own 3rd, or enough time.

yeah first come first serve for positions when there's a lot on like tonight

hate playing DM

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:51 am

Yeah when there's like 7 people on it's a free for all.

But when there's an average amount on, I aint giving up dat RAM/RM spot.

Sorry DNA :vagii:

by Onyx Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:51 am

I'm sure someone would want to just play as a pure DM. If the DM wants to attack, might as well pick an attacking spot. However it worked alright tonight, but in higher divisions not sure.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:53 am

Nobody wants to play pure DM on fifa

Because they never get the ball, partially because people want to pass forwards, partially because they play exactly where attackers on the other team are off the ball, and get man marked.

Then after all that, you're asking them not to get involved in attacking.

by Onyx Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:55 am

Yeh that would be the whole point. Whoever would be DM would be DM because they enjoy defending and don't care about attacking. Just like real life.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:56 am

But you're missing the point

In real life they're still involved in play, even if it is from deep

On fifa they will 99% of the time be bypassed.

MT

whenever you used to play DM you were playing SS most games

tried playing strictly DM a bit on FIFA 13

It's not gratifying just because your team is winning, doesn't work that way it's an entertainment game. It's hard and requires a lot of patience and there's no payoff other than seeing your teammates score half a pitch away. eff dat.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:00 am

I played there for quite a while 5-6 months in to fifa 13

won loads, felt depressing

You don't get the ball as much as the GK

When you do, you must play a quick, short pass or the strikers close you down

You constantly stop the other team from getting chances, but nobody gives a shit.

They'd get bypassed, but there would be a lot of opportunities to tackle etc due to FIFA being end to end.

In real life pure DM's just make a simple pass and never attack, which would be classed as 'boring' anyway.

I wouldn't mind making my pro a pure DM just to balance things out defensively if we ever do struggle there.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:11 am

Our tactics are fine, press like mad. Wide men track back, strikers press CB's and GK

If you want to go DM fine

But it's fkn boring if you play like I used to (like you want people to play)

by Onyx Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:15 am

I played pure DM for bit when I made my pro tall on FIFA 13 and it wasn't too bad. You just have to want to play the role where you do all the dirty work and don't attack (unless your team is losing).

But for now everything is working, so no need to really change anything.

pay me 100K a week and I'll play as a pure DM on FIFA brah

I'll even do it with a smile on my face

by Firenze Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:17 am

btw I kind of want to try playing as goalkeeper hmm

might give it a try in drop in matches first to practice

by Onyx Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:18 am

Also why would anyone pick 'DM' if they're going to attack anyway?

It just leaves the team at a disadvantage when opposition counters and there's no one back except the back 4 defending.

At least 1 midfielder should always be back.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:19 am

I done great last year saving 1 on 1s and complicated shots, but long range shit shots seemed to fk me up and ended up spilling them.

by Firenze Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:20 am

because all the other positions were taken except defence hmm

Besides I was pretty much staying back tonight when playing alongside Cascia when I saw he was pushing up a lot. Stopped in the last match tho' because it was boring me lol.

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:21 am

MT

fk me man

Stop looking at things in black & white

It's not split up into attacking or not attacking

People select DM

A) Because they have to

B) Because they want to defend, but not to the degree where they do not attack at ALL. It's not like our DMS were constantly playing next to the strikers.

by Onyx Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:21 am

Maybe if there's 2 human DM's playing, they can take turns to attack. One sits and the other attacks?

by Tomwin Lannister Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:23 am

Yeah but good luck pulling that off without communication

All buy mics pls

Costs like £10 man

Because all the CAM positions are taken and that's where I play best lol. And my pro is poor I would just screw you guys up if I played as a CAM. However, staying back is such a bore, its not fun at all.

by Firenze Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:29 am

why don't you just go DM and stay back constantly since you're the only one worrying about it FIFA 14 PS3 Pro Clubs - Page 20 ORhuMOq

TBH, MT is one of our best players. It would be better off playing him as an attacker rather than a DM.

by Freeza Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:32 am

Sorry guys, had to go, my parents wanted to spend time with me since they haven't seen me for months.
But Totti will be back again very soon ffs Proud

I think I've scored in 6 straight now
