Analog all the way for all standard game play. occasional switch to D-Pad for "quick-hit" dribbling tricks such as the sidestep, but anyone who says you get "more control" because the D-Pad has 8 directions and analog has 32 is out of their minds. You are limiting your movements, both with...

More injuries my ass. I lost Henry for 8 weeks deep into a Division 1 season. the week before he was supposed to come back I lost Totti for the remainder of the season (something like 12 weeks) in the WEFA Championship Semifinal. Luckily, I brought on olisadebe and he had two goals in the final...

I agree. The Beautiful Game is something I strive for. At the same time though, you have to temper that with winning games outright. I think the main problem is that every person I've played against in WE7 tries to huff the ball into the corner and either send in a cross or play if off of the...

Do a conditional search in the second transfer window and look only for players with 1 year remaining on their contract. If you want, also include nationality Italy as a field. You'll get a small list, but you won't have to pay transfer fees, making their "cheapness" a moot point. You'll be able...

Deportivo La Coruna, Roy Keane wears the Armband.

My bad Rasmus, I have WE7 American version. I'm still waiting for them to include licensed MLS American League. Yeah, right.

Chalk me up as one who does not use radar. None of my friends play radar and I never have either. Our theory was that the radar covers up a crucial part of the pitch that we'd want to see, but maybe I'll go home and play with radar. What are the advantages, that you can see guys who aren't in...

Staying away from Classic players, I say Recoba-Henry-Kluivert. I know Kluivert is a bit trashy and useless on the dribble, but no one hits home more headers from the forward position. Recoba is deadly hooking in crosses and Henry is damn good on the ball. That's a tough strike force.

Set the counterattack strategy up on manual and when the offense stagnates (or the whole game), enable it and leave your forwards up top. Also, I would set up the CB Overlap strategy as well, that way whoever your middle defender is will run up and jump in the fray. You may be a little more...

If you're talking Master League, I would start on five stars and take my lumps. eventually your team will get up to speed and you'll start drawing and winning fairly consistently. If you're like me, you will find yourself obsessing over the lineup and formation each day when you're at the...

Alex from Brazil is a tremendous value buy. Also, Yobo and Maurinho in defense/defensive midfield are solid buys. In terms of getting your ML team up to snuff quickly, with a few deft moves in the first transfer window you can trade away some of your stiffs and bring some of these legit players...

I would say the first step to getting a solid Master League Squad is to wait out the first year as best as possible, then do a detailed search to find out which players are in the final year of their contracts. Then you can bring them in for no transfer fees during the final transfer window of...
