EA Sports programmers: c****.
Bone idle, lazy b******s. Instead of putting some time and effort into a real AI system, all they've done the higher the difficulty level you go, is not improve the opposition, instead they handicap your ability to play the game. Your shooting ability goes west, your passing is slower than the opposition, and you are mostly unable to select a defender nearest the ball when the opposition are laying siege to your goal.
Add to this the predictable as looking through a window p*ssing down rain and muddy pitch whenever you play a crucial game against top opposition, your players acting like they're running through treacle while the opposition skip over it like they're playing on a 5-a-side pitch, your passes taking an age to get to your players, and your ability to get a shot on target becoming less than zero, and you soon realise that you are being well and truly conned into thinking that you're playing a game. In fact all you're playing is a crappy rehash of the game you bought last year with a few tweaks.
I'm all for a frantic 1-0 either way match, as long as the programmers put some proper work into the opposition AI, not when they are deliberately hampering me to the point of being nothing more than a f*****g frustrated spectator. Seriously, you're better off simulating the crucial matches than actually playing them.
EA are a bunch of money-grabbing t*ss pots. Do NOT be fooled into thinking FIFA 14 is worth buying, it isn't, stick with 13.

I won't bother with it at all mate anymore, I love EA Games for some of the utterly amazing games they've made, EA Sports NHL series is for me the best sports game in the business at the minute, for some reason they seem to put all of their eggs into the hockey basket!

One hashtag is annoying, but it's the people who use loads that really get under my skin. Hold on while I trawl through my Facebook news feed to give you some examples....

For legal reasons, I should point out she has emigrated to Melbourne and has a daughter called Maddie, just before the Portuguese police start monitoring my internet activity.

When you get an itch on the bottom of your foot and you can't scratch it because you've got shoes on.

When you get an itch on the bottom of your foot and you can't scratch it because you've got shoes on. Or when you get an itch on your bottom but you can't scratch it because society dictates you shouldn't.
Not when you're in a children's play park anyway, and already in breach of your parole conditions.
Did I say bottom? I meant genitals.

I'll second that! I'm going to throw another one into the pot here......
Button failure on your boxers and slipping through it in a room full of women. Even though you have the safety net of your trouser flies, you still feel like everyone can see it, and you daren't reach down to fix it because that would just look wrong!

Weirdly, I can relate to that as it happened to me the other day. I don't know whether it's because I was down to just the one remaining layer, or whether it's because I'm hung like a mule, but I did feel very 'exposed'.

I find that a good pair of hugging Y fronts does the job, lads.
