After my success of yesterday I played again and almost sent a controller to the same grave as you...
First match was utterly bizzare I played some guy who had better players than me he had some really good forwards and I drew 1-1 with him, he was rated 511 I was rated 500 and I lost 8 points he gained 11 WTF!! I lost points for a draw and my team is crap, my best players are barely 70 rated... then drew another game with some cheap ass player whos tactics consisted of manual passing enormous long balls into my corner flags and trying to rob my defenders, it was like playing against Mick Mcarthy!
Final game got stuffed 4-0 although it was actually pretty close up to the last 30 mins then his forward line of Fabiano, Danny and some other similar rated bloke tore me apart on the counter, he played well tbh but the scoreline was flattering.
Problem im having with the game so far online is that people don't play realistic tactics and formations, I mean the long ball guy had 4 forwards in a straight line in reality that formation would suck, in fact of the 10 odd games Ive played Ive seen maybe 2 or 3 teams playing good formations and those unsurprisingly were the most enjoyable, even the one I lost 4-0 cause it felt like proper football, most of the other teams just use tactics designed to take advantage of flaws in the game engine and end up as boring draws or tight 1 nil wins.
Oh and another thing, most people blatantly give away penalties cause they know most people (me included) have difficulty scoring them. Why dont defenders get automatic red cards for chopping people down in the box? Its like konami decided a penalty was enough and ignored the actual rules. As a final aside anyone know where I can practice penalties cause I cant see them on the training menu?
