I'm in the exact same position as you. It's only over the past couple of weeks that I've started scoring more goals. I also agree with your comments on Legendary Mode. Something else I've noticed is that the computer seems to learn your style if you play the same formation and tactics for too long. I tend to change it slightly half-way through the season, which has been working a treat recently.
I ended up dominating every game soon after my previous post on this thread. I went on to win the Premier League with Aston Villa at a canter. Ultimately I grew tired of the opposition failing to bring different challenges and often being limited in the types of goals I would score. I was never much of a tricks n' skills user which seems to lead to a lot of the different goals in video compilations. I'd pull them out of the hat to beat a full-back and then whip in the cross. Or to do the last defender and go one on one with the goalkeeper. Or maybe just to buy a yard in midfield. Other times they weren't even necessary, a well measured ball or spotting a good run works just as well. But the actual finishes, and the angles at which they came from were often too similar in my experience.
FIFA 11 is a fantastic game. A few more tweaks and FIFA 12 could be the finest offering ever put out there. But for now I am back with Konami on PES 2011 to see exactly what they have to offer, and quite simply to experience a little diversity and excitement in offline single player.
I'd be interested to hear how your continued FIFA 11 experience goes, though. We had a similar timeline to success ratio it seems. So it'd be great to track how your experience progressed after mine came to an abrupt hault. Probably with you having the best gaming experience of all time, and I putting the boot through my HDTV at one cheating referee too many in PES 2011! :lol:
