You can speak for yourself on this one. Just look at how many people are fed up with Van Der Mirch on these forums... Really, it's a real problem, and it's not just that one player, it's the entire game in terms of tactics and the kind of football it rewards.
The fact that you used him yourself says a lot imo. And, for the record, there are people who are not terrible at the game put in countless hours trying to learn how to defend against these continued through balls to super-fast players and never really get there. I have given up after trying every possible combination of tactics and new ways of controlling players, including several suggestions you made, none of which worked for me.
It seems that the only real solution is to join them if you can't beat them, because hearing that you like using van der mirch yourself means to me that it might just be that I've been listening to advice from someone who is more a part of the problem than part of the solution. Keep in mind that if you spam VDM against someone and score a few cheap ones yourself, the game is often pretty much over by that point, so maybe it's not your "defending properly" that is so effective for you?
Also, if people are diconnecting from you, maybe it's because they can't stand the way you play the game? Just a thought...
Sorry, I know I'm probably seriously misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions, but this years' MLO has me extremely frustrated! It's pure garbage IMO, and I'm not touching it again until after the patch...
PEACE
meanwhile anyone who is tired of being spammed by through balls or tired of defending van der mirch give these threads a shout !
