Thanks guys....when i play me mates, none of them go to these lengths when setting up a game, its basically pick a team at random , change unif tplayers and play. They also play without radar.....i think my main fault is passing it in silly places like my box and outside my area.....occasionally i get caught by the long ball.....but will have to get used to a set formation as Celini and Zygalski suggest......thanks to you all for your replies. I'll let you know how i get on....
Funny thing is...i can beat the cpu easily on 3* 3-0, 5-0 etc and occasionally on 4*,5* with a 1-0, 2-1 scoreline......just a shame it doesn't attack you in the same way a human would.
