To settle an argument....:icon_mrgreen:
If you mess around with the CPU options and play games on the highest difficulty but have either edited the teams slide bars to make the team utter pish so you can stroll round them or download the "slow midget" team would you class that as cheating your way to the top or would you class it as a quicker way of doing your accomplishments ?

You are exploiting flaws in the game to get an edge on competitors. Whether or not others do it is irrelevant, it's STILL cheating.
Sorry Martano :86: -

Martano I love you mate, I feel like I'm letting you down here and siding with my greatest Rivals but I have to admit I do think it's cheating.
I see both sides, I just have to honest, Peaky101 is asking me to do it on a regular basis, I couldn't enjoy my Virtual Pro knowing I got him good by cheating, does that make sense? -

It's one of them things, is it cheating for someone to score in FIFA but then spend the entire game passing with the back four to keep a lead? It's not fair but it is allowed in the game, I just think Pro Boosting is spoiling Virtual Pro, I played clubs earlier with my good friend Ryan and nearly every single player I was coming against (Remember I'm 72 rated and Peaky 73 I think) was ridiculously faster and stronger, yeah, some will have got there by complete hard work and dedication, I take my hat off, but 95% got there by Boosting and it means that all the fair players who don't Boost go into every game with a massive disadvantage.
Anyway, that's my view, people might think I'm completely wrong. -

Doing it too much is cheating, but putting yourself on barcelona and then macclesfield town isnt, I dont mess with the sliders nor do I edit the players, and only do this if I am trying to get a random achievement like 2 assists from corners, so I dont consider that cheating, but doing it until every stat is at 99 is, it also takes some of the fun out of the game which is earning those achievements while playing clubs or be a player mode

Play the game legit and complete the achievements, thats what you get when its done, a sense of achievement.
Why does it not surprise me peaky boosts + cheats -
yeah , and I don't see the point in people putting the sliders to maximum so you win every game 15+ nil, it must be boring as *. if your any good you don't need to boost your VP for online clubs.simple.
-
Surely, if you are in the box of 'it's cheating' then commiting even one offense constitutes as cheating.

Scoring 400 goals? Yeah good luck with that, even on Legendary you won't score anymore than 3 on average per game. You can get that accomplishment next year.
To be fair, the last two years I done it the 'PROPER WAY' as you seem to call it. It was boring, frustrating, and left me with a feeling of disappointment, struggling to get some of them. This way I actually get alot MORE satisfaction when you score that 90th minute winner that your vp would NEVER have got to because he was to effing slow or too poor at finishing. That gives me REAL satisfaction, contributing to the cause. It's my opinion, won't change, end of. Also, it's really not cheating, accelerating a process, time efficient, yes it is those. Contrary what (at the time of writing) 11 of you think. For the record I wouldn't consider it a flaw in the game, a flaw is how easy it was to score chips in Fifa 10, this is something that the developers have clearly left in for a reason. If they didn't want us boosting they wouldn't give us the * option to do so.
I respect your opinions, I do however disagree with many of them. You may lose your sense of achievement, you may view it as cheating. I however do not, nor does EA. -
Which peaky would you be referring to ?
-
It's noobish IMO, not rewarding at all.
Not as bad as people glitching on Ultimate Team to get a super team though. That's ruined UT this year - I'm up against 100 chemistry and 5 star sides almost every game. -
Do EA not ban those teams?

Martano, EA aren't able to detect everyone who's boosted on kick-off? How could they possibly? You make it out to be something EA approves, dont think that is the case at all tbh.
-
There's no real way to determine if somone has boosted to be fair. The games get played using settings made available, with regards to VP. No rules are actually broken. Not once did I say that EA approves of boosting, but they don't have anything at all against it, if they did more appropriate measures would be implemented to prevent this from happening. That's my point.
UT would be alot easier to detect, look at the previous level of teams used and then suddenly they've hit 100% chemistry without buying players or playing games. That one would spell itself out if you ask me. But to be fair I don't know anything about this glitch, I'd need to read about it to offer a more substantial opinion.Last edited by a moderator: Nov 2, 2011 -
I don't believe it's cheating, Regardless of the level of the pro player, If you're * at fifa and you're pro player is maxed out, you'll still be * at fifa.
I'd rather people did this than hack there pro's with a savegame. -
Exactly.
-
For me personally it would ruin the game if I was to do it. It's like buying a 3 course meal then piling it all into your mouth in one go. Zero enjoyment and if you do it I'd love to hear a decent reason for doing it other than a desperate need to be able to compete when you otherwise wouldn't be able to. It's the equivalent of an Olympics drugs cheat.

Depends what you play the game for, If you don't use your pro offline then rather than spend countless hours fannying around you can do it all relatively quickly.
spend 25+ hours making your pro competitive for online play or Spend a few hours and make him competitive, No brainer for me.
