Anyway, the point is that it's not just the player that's the problem, it's the way people play. If it weren't Van Der Mirch it would be MPhela, Doumbia, Barreto et al. They're pretty effective up front as well if you hoof it up to them.
Really gutted that Konami didn't address this in the patch though, it would have been an easy one to remedy, and it's not as if what we're asking for isn't realistic.
They wouldn't even have to have tweaked the actual through pass (although it needs a bit of an adjustment I think), they could have just made changes to the passing when it is say 30-40 yards or more.
The thing I think some people on here don't understand is that even if it were easy to avoid giving up goals because of this (I do give up some but not that many), the constant spamming ruins the gameplay itself. I'm not just all about winning (if that were all that was important to me I would play like that too), I want a good game! And that's hard when the opposition every game is always playing something that doesn't even look like football.
