Im playing Fiorentina and I got Gouraqui after upgrading my youth team to top level. He was 76 when i got him tho, and he's not very fast, but his heading and shooting is awesome. The next season in my youth team I got a spanish player called Guttierez, who started at 84, and handles very...

The short pass button is used when you are not on the ball to make a first time pass, and also to cancel a pass, but it can get confusing, so what i suggest is that there is some kind of indicator at the bottom of the screen that tells you wether or not the button is 'active' or not, as im fed...

Hello Langkawi, Yeah ive kind of been thinking this recently as well. I'm sure the computer makes more of an effort to sign your players in the first few years. - I have a small theory - I reckon that they (the game creators) are aware that when you first start the ML, you will be planning...

Sorry, just thought as well, can you not see the skills next to the bar on the Development page? maybe you have to use the right trigger button, but once you check a players individual stats, it should show you how much they have improved, you should (hopefully) be able to see a bit of light...

I think its a combination of all of the above It has something to do with the players themselves - Like with your scout, if you are looking at a young player, your scout may tell you something like, 'he is developing at a steady pace' or 'a late bloomer, but should maintain level' So this...

Hello, Style: pass and run. I use a lot of 1-2 passes, a few by-line crosses, and then a lot of pasing around the edge of the box for space. Take your time? - yes, if i have to. I'll pass the ball up one wing, and if there is no room there i'll turn inside and start switching the play, i find...

oh, and they start out ranked as 26th. Not sure if this makes it too easy for you or not.

If its any help, im doing a ML as Fiorentina, and now i really like the team. All the coaches start out at level 3, and after paying wages, you'll have around 25million euros in the bank. You have some good but old players you can sell, a really good keeper (Frey) a great goal scorer in Mutu...

Yeah, as soon as i finished my first season and had some money to spend, i upgraded my youth team to level 5, and straight away i have a 15 year old striker on 76, so i would say its definately worth it. Did the same with the coach, and you get more training points (or whatever theyre called) so...

I would say make sure your scouts are at the top level, as they help to sign the players...

Yeah, i would assume heading would be connected to agility, so more the Althletic side of training, maybe its a combination - jumping is connected to athletics, but the accuracy would be down to shooting?

This is great, adjusted the sliders to 100 like the Boy7 said, and also adjusted the bottom slider (cant remember what its called) up to 100 so my team attacked down the middle, and im actually scoring some interesting goals now, and it feels like a real football team - players passing and...

Hello, i would say the best way is to just start without worrying too much, and if it all goes wrong you can start again. Maybe pick a really good team like Barcalona and you can get through a season learning how to balance your team, play around with some tactics, and get used to planning a...

Yeah, me and my housemate have the same problem... i dont think theres much you can do.

Instead of going in for the tackle with Ferdinand, why not select Vidic, then hold down [ ] so that Ferdinand goes to press Arshavin down the line, and you can run Vidic back into the box and mark Van Persie. Half the time, they wont even get the cross in, as your defender will make a tackle...
