Most Annoying Things about FIFA Players

Hey guys I just wanted know your most hated things about fifa players.

Mine:

1) People who quit when losing. i dont mean when you are winning 5 or 6 nil, i mean when you go 2 or 3-0 up. The reason i say this is because they can still make a great comeback or at least make it interesting at that scoreline. When you are losing 5 or 6-0 then I can understand why people wont want to play any longer.

2) People who go 1-0 up and then just pass the ball between their defenders. This takes out all the fun of the game. They are basically saying quit or ill carry on playing like this.

3) When you score in the first 5 mins, the opposition quit and you dont get the points. I never understand why this was made a rule. It just promotes quitting. You should get the points if people quit in the 88th minute or the 1st minute. I admit I have taken advantage but I would much prefer it if I couldnt.

4) Passing the ball and it goes in totally different direction. Many people associate this as a poor excuse from a sore loser however I do think it actually is an issue with FIFA. There have been many times when I have to restart an attack or regain possession simply because instead of passing to my winger it does a long pass to my unprepared centre back. This ultimately gives the advantage to the opposition.

5) Immature "children". When you are playing team play and someone doesnt get their required position, they just sit in the lobby waiting for someone to give up their position for them. When the actual game starts they refuse to play normally. This is either by scoring own goals or playing out of position. This ruins the game for the whole.

6) Glory hogs. People in team play who want the ball to them the whole time but will never pass themselves. They will try and walk around every player and score the goals from any angle.

7) Watching every replay especially if the goal was just a simple tap in. If its a great goal fair enough but when there is nothing special about it I dont see the need to watch it.

8) People who pause the game when you are on the attack, wait till the counter is down and then play. This upsets the flow in your attack and lowers the chance of scoring.

9) People who foul the last man. They have let you get into that position so suffer the consequences for your actions.

10) People who constantly try to foul you for playing possession football. These are the guys who just want to pump the ball forward with a few 1 touch passes and thats it. They dont appreciate that some players like to play possession football. They feel that its just us time wasting and making the game boring. No its our way of playing (effective for me actually). I will not always play counter attacking football because they aren't having fun.

I havent included sweaty goals because I feel this is a perfectly legal goal. I cant see why people criticize it when you let them get in that position. Fair enough if people constantly try and get these goals but if the opportunity does arise then yes take it.

I was once 5-0 down at half time and came back to win 7-5 aet.

I don't get the guys who quit in the 88th minute as I go 8-0 up. Did they think they were going to come back at 7-0 in the 87th minute?

Another thing I hate is people who use all three pauses in the last minute just to make you wait for an extra minute and a half to finish the game. Pointless.

I hate lob pass abuse where all they do is spam it over the top, leaving them with a posession percentage of 32% yet they still end up beating you because they have Eswein and Reus up front.

I think Kent really did sleep with Mugabe.

I hate people who play ultra defence all the time, regardless of the score.

I hate that there's not a rematch feature on FUT, the amount of times I lose because of pure bad luck and I know i'm the better player infuriates me.

I hate the scripting of fifa when your players act like dumb robots sometimes. I also don't get why they do games in snow and rain. It never helps for the contest.

I also always have my keeper on alert. I make a conscious effort to not buy speedsters because it is not playing FOOTBALL. It is balls over the top and crappy rebound goals.
I like having players who pass and move.

My best comeback was on FIFA 12

I was Uruguay, I think they were Brazil. At HT I was 4-1 down and contemplating quitting. At 90 minutes it was 4-4. Extra time (this was the online cup semi-final). He scored in ET but right at the end I levelled to make it 5-5, and won on penalties

On FIFA 13 there was also a time I was losing 2-0 80th minute with PSG and at the end of the game it was 3-2 to me.

The replays is the one that gets me TBH. Espiecally if it's like the 4th goal goal or something. I never do it unless they've done it to me when it wasn't called for.

I also get very annoyed at the long subs. Why on earth does it take so long? Well sometimes it takes long, other times you can skip the sub cut scene.

Both pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but still very annoying.

I have a few stories

1. I was playing with my mate and he goes 2-0 up. In the second half i get it back to 2-2. In ET i went 3-2 up. Then he went 4-3 up. Straight from kick off I equalised and drew 4-4 with him. he beat me on pens though

2. I was 3-0 down at HT. (this is online), I went ultra attacking 4-2-4. he went 4-0 up. i got it to 4-3. he however made it 5-3 and i lost my motivation. he won 6-3 in the end.

3. vs virus from here i was 3-0 down at half time. I got it to 3-3 at the 80th min. He scored and won 4-3 in the 85th.

so all 3 ive came close to a great comeback but lose it at the end

On FIFA 12 Hussies were 2-0 down to bitter rivals Classy Lads in the 88th minute but won 3-2

On FIFA 11 I think I was once 6-1 down but brought it back to 6-5 and nearly equalised, and every game after that I could comfortable go 3 or 4 goals down and still get a result. I'd always keep Walcott and Arshavin to bring on at HT and they would annihilate the opposition

Aside from 2) none of them annoy me.

What annoys me is the fifa gameplay itself.
