Team PESGaming (PS3) (FIFA 10)

[ezio]

I won't be getting home until gone 10pm tonight, as I'm spending three hours being told what a PS/2 connector is and other such nonsense.

I'm cool with the late shift.

I also think I'm a bit better than I was during my debut shift. My Virtual Pro's stats are a little higher than 'default,' too - given that when I first played online with you lot I don't think I'd done anything with him except run about like a lunatic in the arena.

Ezio - I was kidding as far as the defending goes. I am awful at the game and they will pick you ahead of me at the back on any given occasion. Although as Berry isn't about (because he's a small girl and goes to sleep at about 7:15pm ), we might play centrally together.

Nifty,

Sounds good mate. Should I make myself a Centeral Defender then?

 

[Phatmann]

Yeah. It would be a good idea to play a few offline games to build your player up before playing with us online.

 

[ezio]

Yeah I was going to do that. Probbaly start doing that tonight or tomorrow. thanks.

How very dare you! :shocking:

It's good to hear you're making your long-awaited return from injury tonight though, mate.

I'll be around for some clubs this evening if others are around..., just not after the 10 o'clock-mark, sadly.

 

[Nifty1Pound50]

...or I could just not show up at all, which was always the likeliest outcome.

I didn't get home until 11pm last night from work, and I was shattered.

 

[Dragonfly]

Sorry about last night, guys. I was more miss than hit. My passing was at its worst. I played a bit better when I stopped being ANY, making decent runs from midfield. I think I'm going to start playing L/RCM more offten.

Agreed, but I was just as shite (if not more) too, just you had more men to be shite with lol

 

[Original?]

The most infuriating session for a long time. I hate the game at times.

 

[chelsea11]

Well I warned you guys I was shit, and that one on one in the last match proved that :faceplm:

I'll change my pro to be a midfielder for next time, it seems the attack it pretty much sorted.

 

[Phatmann]

chelsea you were far from shit. From what I saw, you seemed a decent player and it's good to have another player you can rely on in the team. We came up against some very good teams tonight and now that I've played CB I've played in every position possible for the team. Centre back was an absolute bastard to play as.

 

[Sweey]

chelsea11, I thought you were pretty decent actually. You look for people in space, you play good passes and you get in nice positions.

Headset faggotry from me tonight ONLY if my throat is a bit better. There's no point me going on if I'm going to be coughing every 10-15 seconds.

 

[chelsea11]

Aww shucks you guys :blush:

I won't be able to go on before 11 over the next few nights, if anyone is on. I think I need to change my player to be stronger though for the midfield positions as I get pushed off the ball far too easily at the moment.

 

[Bež]

I'm around for some matches anytime this evening, just not after 10pm. When do you guys get home from work?

I miss the holidays when I can stay up quite late everynight and I'm around when all you are, play Clubs.

O'well, not long to go 'til the weekend :nath:

I think I need to change the person in charge of my player as I am far too shit at the game at the moment.

You keep saying that but I don't think you were as bad as you make out; centre-back is arguably the hardest position to play. A couple of times I was at fault as I was following the player and you were trying to play offside, meaning I played everyone onside. You drifted out of position a few times but I didn't mind that as I was able to cover without a problem.

One mistake I remember was when the attacker won a header against me and you had stepped up rather than covering behind in anticipation.

Original?, I believe you congratulated me on my superb corner kick which landed almost on the line at the back post for red to head in. Well, it was chelsea11 who crossed it, not me. He seemed quite adept at those back post corners as I scored a header from a similar method in a previous game.

To be honest... I noticed a few more. I appreciate that it's easy for me to say from up front... but I don't play centre-back because I know I'm not good at it. I think the problem was trying to do too much at the back and difficulties with communication.

Nifty, both of these will improve if you just play more often. For example, you were trying to tackle people who were other player's men, you have to trust Phats or whoever is controlling them. Be ready to help them out but don't try and do it for them as it means you unnecessarily leave space in behind. You said you were better in real life, which I believe, but in real life I expect you hold your position more and don't push up to the man so far up the pitch. The same is true in communicating with Phats or your partner, you just need to play with them more often to get used to each other.

That said, you were phenomenal in the air, I don't think I've seen anyone that dominant at the back. It might be interesting to see you and Bez or you and Red play together at the back.

I realised soon after, when I'm sure he tried to score from a corner! His corners were excellent... his free kicks less so. That one in a prime position and he passed it to a defender... :crymore:

I was getting ready to fight Sweey over that one!:lol:

The less said about my effort from 42 yards, the better. I felt I played a lot better last night, than the night before. Particularly in that game where I got 5.9! :realmad:

 

[Phatmann]

That free-kick where he passed to a defender was probably my fault as I had gone wide on the left but moved in towards the box just as he was taking it. It was a good idea but I wasn't expecting it.

True but the angle was perfect for bending it into the top corner, I couldn't have placed the ball better myself! At 3-3 I thought it was destiny... never mind, it ended better as Sweey robbed the keeper!

I got a message off one of the twats in Spanish... I asked for the English translation: 'LUCKY FUCK OFF'... I decided to wind him up.

 

[chelsea11]

I agree my corners were flying in pretty well last night, I wasn't actually going for goal any time, I think the corner you're thinking of Original? I wasn't actually going for goal, my finger slipped (although having said that, I wasn't too far off). The left analog stick on my controller is slightly broken and leans upwards all the time, so unless I hold it in central position it will be like I'm pressing up all the time.

Phats, that was exactly what I was trying to do with the free-kick, alas as soon as I was pressing it you changed your run and I couldn't do anything. A headset would definitely have been handy there. On that note, I was actually going to ask to change me from taking free-kicks, as I find I am quite poor at them (as you all know now anyway lol)

And Nifty, I'm pretty sure it says that you are the best rated defender in the team. :mellow: Or did I read that wrong? Either way, having played left back in the normal random pro matches, defence is very difficult to play.

I've found these matches so far really enjoyable, even though we lost one of them. Overall its been fun. I like playing LF or CM and RCM.

 

[Sweey]

I turned into Inzaghi last night. That last goal felt damn good for so many reasons - stealing it from the goalkeeper, scoring with a shot when I had my back to goal, the goal being a 90th minute winner. I'd also asked Phats on MSN before that game how to do the dance celebration and was waiting to use it!
