aye it's starting to piss me off real bad. It used to be that they'd use the 'pause cheat' and wait for you to disconnect, but no1 seems to do that now and there's this shitty new method of cheating.

Anyway, I've played this guy a feel times and he always goes Brazil. Now he must have NO life at all, because when he scores he watches the celebration-then the 3 different angles of the goal-then goes into the controllable replay and at the point where the ball crosses the line he goes back and forth over it for about a minute...it's the most annoying thing ever!!

PS. I've found a way to score directly from corner kicks I thought yesterday I'd just shoot from the corner with Beckham coz I was comfortably in the lead and I aimed for the back post and it went it now I've started to master it and I can score about 70% of corners-directly, I try avoiding it though coz its sort of cheating, but if I'm in need of a goal I have no problems using it

The ability to score direct from a corner is quite tempting, may have to practice it a bit. I usually accept challenges form Brazil-Batty-Boys now, to counter this I just search for a team with good defending, and good speed. More often that not, Cameroon. Lining up with a 4-5-1 formation packing the midfield meaning the supply to Adriano and Ronaldo are cut off a lot of the time. With my 2 SMF's out real wide so they can just push into the gaps Cafu and Carlos always leave as they headlessly sprint forwards believing they can get on the scoresheet.

This is how I do against Brazil most of the time:

---------------Keeps---------------

---RB--------CB----CB--------LB---

-----------DMF------DMF----------

----------------AMF---------------
---RMF----------------------LMF---
----------------CF-----------------


What annoys me as well though is winning on penalties only to be handed the draw. Suppose it isn't too bad when you lose on penalties though.

Played a Brazil-Batty-Boy as usual yesterday and he hacked me down last man, got sent off, and I still scored the free-kick, it was immense. I find scoring free-kicks easier if you lay the taker off as he then seems to shoot normally meaning getting it on target and over the wall is easier and not so random.
