i really can't get my head around this !......had a Newcastle team with all the 1st TOTW players in which was the whole team minus Tiote, S Taylor and Simpson, won numerous online tournaments with great ease so decide to buy the Krul, Simpson, Coloccini and Cabaye TOTY players, the new TOTW Cisse and the 84 Ben Arfa and my team are fkn pathetic now, they can't pass, Krul dives about 5 secs after the ball is past him and Coloccini gets shrugged off the ball by tiny players like Lennon, Defoe and has even been out-paced by Peter Crouch, and i've seen milk turn quicker than what Cisse does, shooting accuracy and power is none existent and not 1 of them can win a header.......anyone else having the same sort of experience ?....defo last time i'm purchasing Fifa !

Have you checked their stamina etc? That sounds like your problem.

If you believe those on the EA forums then you're being "handicapped" - in other words when you hit 86 on the squad rating the game will "handicap" you by making your passes slower etc. I've not got a good enough squad to know whether it's true or not though.

squad rating is only 84, can win no problem with my other team which is 82 rated......it's a joke !....another case of EASports fooking up !

If you're playing online, you could be playing against someone using the booster cards on their players which is making yours look weaker.

Plenty of possibilities.

Maybe it's when you hit 84 then, but you seem to be describing "handicap".

Yes its the "handicap" stick a few bronzes on ur bench n they'll pass in straight lines again! U can more or less guarantee ur opponent has a few on his bench, either that or he starts with bronzes then brings on ronaldo, Messi n rooney!
