Mine (USA) does surprisingly well in WC (only "big" tourney for the US!). Once some of our young players like Davies, Altidore, Holden, Bradley, JF Torres, Adu, etc, got some growth behind them, we started killing teams on the counter. Defense was soft (though we do have some of the best keepers...

Pretty common occurrence, and I don't use dl'd OFs.

This could be several things. Can you describe it with a bit more detail? Read this.

They brought back the likes of Ozil and Elia in the hidden players, but removed a ton of players from other teams. Practically all of Villa's youth players are gone now.

Maybe you have to be registered as a forward of some type to get Reaction, then, because my Response is currently 89. Marseille Roulette was the first or second card I got, I think when my Dribble Accuracy hit 75. It's come in handy, actually. I've managed to score bags by nicking the ball...

PS3. I have: Passer 1-on-1 Finish PK Kicker (useless, who gets penalties?) Direct Play Outside Curve Man Marking (useless, the AI managers never assign marking) Slide Tackle Covering (useless, the AI doesn't control your character's movement in open spaces unless you use...

I signed for Milan in the Winter window, as they don't even use wide players, so I'm pretty happy. They still have Pato, too, and decent defensive depth. Roma had three CBs, two SBs, and no GK rated over 65, so would just play random players in defense when the starters got tired. They have lost...

You get it when response hits 85, I believe. At age 25, I have one card slot left. I hope it'll be filled by something decent. I signed for AS Roma in the Summer, and while they told me I was being signed to play CMF, they've played me on the wings in almost every game, and I hate them for...

Yeah, at the end of my first ML season, I lost a dozen players through unresolvable negotiations, because I couldn't afford the raises they demanded and they wouldn't negotiate at all. Now that my team has become successful, players demand ≥1000% raises every season, regardless of loyalty and...

Only if you don't time it right! Very tough to perfect. I only had handball given against me twice in 3515 games in '08 (never against the AI), and some horrifically blatant ones have gone unpunished in '10, so the mechanic may or may not still be there.

Is it possible to loan out more than three players? I put some eight kids on the loan list, and had 2-3 teams in contact for each starting in mid-November. However, once I loaned the first three out (all finalized before December, even), I received no further offers, and got the "negotiations...

Yep, all the time.

Unless you're a massive club, it takes a minimum three or four seasons to sign anyone reasonably "big" (~80+). I think I only made two permanent non-free agent signings in my first couple seasons. Just put players on your scout list (and make sure to check the "openness to negotiations" search...

Imo, the incredible amount of defensive pressure the AI puts you under through the middle (especially at higher difficulty levels) inflates the tempo to an unrealistic level and makes play predictable. Otherwise, the speed would be fine. When five defenders will simultaneously track down and...

Those are strategy marks. If you have strategy changes set to auto in Game Plan -> Assisted Settings, the AI will turn them on or off as it feels necessary. You can assign four different strategies to the buttons in Game Plan -> Tactics -> Strategy, and you can also change their implementation...

When I was on the Brazilian side, I got stuck with the yellow player marker, and kept losing myself completely! That, or I'd try to select a defender, but my teammate would get him first and the game would give me somebody two miles away. I also blew a couple chances because when I passed or...

Glad I joined! Excellent matches to be had. 2v2 with people you've never played with before is wild!

Just go to Edit and change the name Carmillo to Castillo. Voilà!

I might pop in tonight and see if anyone is on. I've only played two VS matches online in 2010, and both were the stereotypical unfun type. The Inter guy was annoyed that I held him to 0-0, but there's not much to be done against Real Madrid with Villa's default (substantially underrated, imo)...
