Joel was boycotting if we picked one of the others that were discussed.
By the land of Christ, I could not beat a man last night. Be it attempting my usual "slow the pace right down and then accelerate by" or just trying to dribble past a player with pace normally. I've no idea if it was me, my VP or a change in the game but it was absurd. If it is the game, I'll have to play in a completely different way as my one game at CAM after O? left felt a lot better but its a style of play not well suited to the wing and very much different to how I play out wide.
I'm also pissed at hitting the frame of the goal twice against those Hillsborough cunts we lost to - and four times overall last night.

The game has changed. Can't really burn players with pace anymore, which is good in a way as it stops a lot of bollocks happening against you. But the passing... Feels really underpowered. I think short passing and trying to create space may be the best way to go about things. Aiming for through balls or even long passes to feet is not working in this game right now.
I remember O? used to always say we were rushing things too much and I didn't really agree and would say that's the style of fifa. But this year I think his view holds a lot of ground. Patience is going to be needed.

Definitely Joel and with the way stamina drops so quickly you can't afford to sprint too often either.
For that reason I quite enjoyed the games in midfield last night. The AI needs to stop panic passing to humans in shit positions though, there's no way Phats or I called for some of the hospital passes we received from the back four.

Indeed, the AI plays all manner of retarded passes even if no-one calls for them. I'm still trying to get the handle on passing tbh. Too often I'd see someone in space down the wing, fire down a through ball and it is just fucking awful.
Plus, as with every FIFA title, i'm trying to get to grips with receiving the ball and turning quickly or not losing the ball straight away. I remember why I hatethis game so much, i'm fucking shit :sweey:

Passing is really cunty. Even though our VPs are shit I don't remember it being this bollocks in previous games at the same stage.
Oddly the turning point last night seemed to be Phats' sending off... followed by Sweey's arrival. Two promotions in two nights, can't do any better than that. Plus some general points:
- The CPU should be banned from doing anything with the ball in the opposition half unless you tell it to (I'll allow them to shoot when in the area at least)
- The noise of my header hitting the underside of the bar was extremely arousing
- Some sexy interplay between myself and Jonno going on
- I'm sorry I gave that pen to Phats. I didn't see Joel's name and thought Phats would do the decent thing and give it to Joel
- 12 goals in 12 games...that ratio won't last long. And I scored more goals with my feet than my head last night.

Some decent football in the weekend sessions. Barn is a heading god as usual. Joel has scored some good goals, but that miss was amazing, and we then went on to concede 2 and lose in the last few minutes.
Im trying to find my range with corners, if someone else wants to step up and take them just let me know. We've scored a couple direct from my corners, but not enough due to deliveries, so I'm ok with passing on the responsibility.

I'm getting concerned with the shitness of our CPU defenders and midfielders. When we had 3 on yesterday for the first game we could barely craft any chances because of the CPU shitness. Then in other games, when defenders have the ball, they pass it like retards. I think some of this could be from our own use of the call button,
That one side in the second game had amazing defenders, who used skill and passed like pro's, so I can only assume they were Human any or had human players playing in defence.
All in all it was a pretty wank session, but somehow we managed to get the points for promotion. I know we won the last game 3-2 with an amazing comeback, but what was the score in the penultimate game? We lost the first two then won the second two right?

It doesn't matter if you spam or not, a mix of the AI underhitting passes and the overpowering instincts of the defending AI will loose you possession the majority of the time.
Passing, not just AI, is broken. Needs patching fast.

In the demo, setting Pass Power Assistance to On prevented the under hit passing problem. Doesn't seem to make a difference in the full game. This could just be EA really wanting us to use their new Driven Pass, which is a nice option, but shouldn't be at the expense of standard passing.
I hope to be on after the UCL games, if others will be on.
So far, my personal highlight of Clubs has been when I dummied the ball and left two players on the floor. I just wish I remembered to save the clip.

This is how Clubs basically works now:
-Don't bother sprinting
-Don't even bother running half the time
-Don't try and run at a player with pace
-Don't try and beat a player with pace if you have the ball
-Expect retarded CPU passing of the highest order to totally drop you in the shit from the most ridiculous of situations
I don't expect fixes. It actually makes the game enjoyable to me in midfield which is good as certain positions are close to unplayable (the wing as a pure winger, for example)
