After a shocking start to my Bolton managerial career, I somehow managed to get promoted via the playoffs, mainly thanks to a fuck load of goals from Beckford of all people. Which leads me to the first of my 2 points - player contracts. His contract was expiring at the end of the season. He...

There is still an element of scripting in player vs player matches, both in PES and Fifa. You know, the rather "convenient" deflections in your box, players failing to control the ball, passes not going in the direction you aim, players "stuttering" when running. All these tricks. It's just the...

I quite enjoyed our play session on Friday. I thought myself and Joel linked up well together. Certainly managed to improve my stats with few goals and assists. :happy:

Well since I'm playing in the Championship I don't I've this problem. ;)

Makes sense I suppose. So they can't even give Newcastle black and white stripes of any kind? :erm:

If I am going to buy it, it's most likely to be on PS4. Unfortunately I don't have the time these days to spend hours upon hours editing teams. Just wish Konami wasn't so lazy with their kit design for the unlicensed teams!

Had another ludicrous game on Career last night. A 4-4 draw away at Forest. I went 1-0 up. Then they got a fucking bullshit goal not too long after when my gk (again) stood there gawping at the ball when it was between his legs. Then they score straight after. Then I pulled it back to 2-2. Then...

:joel: Feeney is quite useful for me so far (I'm Bolton... obviously), but I sold Trotter because his real life counterpart is useless.

:huh: I didn't even know it had Championship teams! :w00t

Well you'll probably find it the same in Fifa 15 I'd imagine. I did find myself clinging on at the end, had to do the ol' park the bus. Speaking of parking the bus, I hate that the commentators have to put such emphasis on that phrase, just because it's one of the new things introduced this...

Finally got my first home win last night! :YES: Against the mighty Blackpool. :YES:

I've played about 6 games at home. Lost 5 drawn 1. I can only seem to win away. When I'm playing at home, I seem to suffer from bullshit refereeing, bullshit finishing, bullshit deflections, bullshit everything! The opposition AI just seems to play way more aggressively when I play at home.

Yeah, you could turn off classic players, but as far as I remember it didn't stop players who retired during the ML from returning. I could be wrong though.... as I often am.

Knowing Konami, I'd end up getting a 16 yr old South Korean called Keith Ronaldo. ;)

I've seen some horrendous goalkeeping too. Yesterday the keeper made a save, it rebounded to the attacker, the keeper could've scooped the ball up but he just stood there gawping at it as the attacker hit it into the goal. I mean, I know Bogdan makes the odd howler here and there, but he isn't...

I've said a few times, it can't be that hard to have some sort of random player name generator or just a huge database of names to choose from. Fifa does something like that for the career mode, heck... Championship Manager could do that 15 years ago! :laugh:

Yeah, but I hated when it when they started recycling retired players into the youth team. I don't want a 17 year old Del Piero, who still looks like he's 35, no matter how good he is!

I've started a career on legendary with Bolton, and the opposition AI is ridiculous at times. I don't think I've ever seen them shoot from outside the box, they just try to walk it in. Plus at times it seems like there's some sort of forcefield around the players which prevents you from tackling...

Could not finish for shit last night. So frustrating.

Erm... no he shouldn't.
