Didn't we all used to moan our heads off that you couldn't score from outside the box hardly ever? Also, most people moaned it was too hard to score from free kicks as well.... no pleasing some people methinks. I am well happy with the free kick system now as supposed experts get the ball on target or very close to it all the time which they should because...they are free kick experts.
As for it being too easy to score, I have to say I disagree. I might just be useless of course and I certainly could be more composed in the box at times lol, but I find that I am more likely to win 1-0 than any other score, because the game seems to be trying to teach us that a sturdy defence is essential to start with and that you build on that with goals. I imagne this is going to play a huge part in Master League when I start one, as with the duffers in the team, it is going to be imperative to keep clean sheets and hope to nick on up the other end. That sai, in a good burst, i think i scored 6 or 7 in a half hour of play at one point, so can see why that dude might have won 8-1.
You can run round players, just not every time... and mostly you will find that the nest time to do run is when you arent surrounded...when there is a bit of space to run into...and what's silly about that?
