Team PESGaming (PS3) (FIFA 10)

Several points about last night:

1) So you can't score direct from a throw-in. I was heartbroken.

2) Phat you do a great job on ANY, just one minor quibble - when we have a corner, could you wait until I get into position and stick my hand in the air? Only I always start at the back but like to float inside, and you end up taking the corners quickly so I can't usually get on the end of them.

3) 7 or more people is too many. The forward positions get too congested, while people end up playing out of position. I think 5 is ideal, with 6 being the maximum. Any more than that and we should always split.

4) On that note, I must never play in defence again, my positioning sense is terrible. I admire all you guys that do though, it's easily the toughest role.

Friggin' hell I sucked. Put full power on my passes and they still couldn't reach the intended target.

Still, I unlocked a nice selection of red boots. :erm:

Something Phats and I noticed last night:

One game we lost we played against a team playing a flat five as far back as possible, one midfielder, two attacking midfielders and two strikers. We then tried it but too many of us were on so it failed - the defence probably needed to be ANY. The thing is, we lost to a team playing four at the back (almost as far back as possible), one midfielder, one attacking midfielder and four strikers.

If we've got highly skilled players on and not too many of them, formations like these ARE worth trying - the second lot had a rating of over 5000 and we probably all agree attacking is our strong point. I think the key to success that way is having a human ANY though.

Happy with a few of my goals last night as I've started scoring into the roof of the net from outside the area - my crossing is slowly getting better but apologies for the ones that look decent but end up with the goalkeeper. I'll get it together in time.

Last night I unlocked "Score 3 goals from rebounds off the post in your career" - by crossing the ball and it going out for a throw in :laugh:

 

[Bež]

Yeah, that match when I was playing at the back, I got really frustrated as I thought my positioning and marking was good, but the CPU's defending was all over the place. I tried to intercept before they scored but couldn't get there in time. Plus, their strikers being as lethal as they were didn't help either.

I thought I was alright last night, did my bit, don't think I scored a goal last night though -_- but sometimes, it just isn't to be. I'm happy now I've got a good balance of strength & pace for my Virtual Pro, and by having his position set to CB, this makes him pretty good at tackling.

Were you satisfied with the way I was charging everyone and everything down last night? When it works, I usually take the ball off the opponent, but sometimes I've noticed I tend to get sucked in and get carried away by holding down :x: My player's not really good at sliding.

I'm gonna play centre-mid more now, and not go up front as much. I've noticed I'm more effective in the middle, as a box-to-box player (I'll make sure I track back and help the defence out, I did that quite a bit last night) and also support you up top. I'll have to work on my decision-making at the right times though, so I don't get caught out of possession much.

I'll definately be up for tonight.

 

[Sweey]

I did notice you mopping up at the back - the CPU was absolutely horrendous when it was only controlling two of the defenders and the rest were human.

Still love my hat-trick in the space of about 10 minutes - that game where we went 1-0 down and I'd scored three by the 13th minute. We ended uo winning 7-3 I believe with Phats getting the other four. Lovely stuff.

What camera do you guys use? I'm currently on Tele, which is good for accuracy of passes and shooting (assuming your player's stats are good enough). I have tried Pro cam to try to improve vision and awaremess, but I hate the swing of the camera. I've played around with Swing and Swing speed, but it's still a bit uncomfortable. I think I'm going to try to play with the Pro Cam more.

I always play with the Pro cam. It just fits the mode better.

You weren't all that bad, we had a decent combination going down the right for most of the games.

I was generally poor last night, although I did enjoy playing RCM and RM. I should have bagged a couple and prevented a goal but failed on both counts. I think things went well for the most part but I agree 8 is too many for one game. One observation I did make was that Barn should always be ST when he's on in my opinion. McCrevasse is an excellent target man.

 

[Original?]

I agree with Barn, and I believe it's been covered many times before, but we lose all sense of a system when we have more than 5-6 players on the team at any one time. Also, I don't know about others, but my connection gets progressively worse the more players we have on our team.

Furthermore, Barn is right about Phatmann, it's no slight on the others who sometimes play as ANY, but Phatmann is excellent. I don't blame him for not wanting to play ANY all the time, particularly when there are only defenders positions available.

I don't think I played too well last night, though in the last game I managed to score six in our 7-2 mauling. A good note to end on I feel.

I agree with this, I particularly enjoy playing up front with him. He's good in the air and strong, everything I'm not... we seem to work well together usually as well.

 

[Mullet Taylor]

who wants a game the now ? theres 2 of us on

I like having you up with me for the legs, as I usually come deep. Word of caution - please don't put me through with a distance to run unless it's early in the match, as my guy has some kind of stamina cancer.

I noticed when I played a through ball to your guy last night and then recoiled in horror realising he's slow as shit and has the stamina of a dead goat.

Original?, Zub, Berry, Alc and myself have just cruised to a 9-3 victory over a team ranked higher than us and we hit the post about four times as well. I'm loving when we switch back to 4-3-1-2 as I adore the CF position and the damage I can unleash from there with two runners ahead of me.

I also got three achievements in that game - 200 goals, 50 goals with laces shots and 50 assists with ordinary ground passes. Lovely.

[TheAlchemist]

Sorry about the disconnection in thr last game guys.

Got bullied into quitting cos of the x factor

 

[Sweey]

geek

They're in the stats section fool.

 

[Bež]

:no: Will you be on after that's gone off then?

geek

Harsh.

 

[Phatmann]

What headsets do you guys have? I have no problem hearing Original? for most of the time but I can't ever hear Berry so it sounds like Original? is talking to himself as I only get one side of the convo.

 

[Bež]

I can never hear you either Mike.

I have the official Sony bluetooth headset. You?

 

[Mullet Taylor]

haa calm yourself fellas. i was rippin the micky when i said geek. i was referring more to the fact you've played so many games, making you a geek at it, wasn't calling you a geek thinking you had a pen and paper for every goal scored/assisted...i wish my wee guy was half as good as yours. i changed my settings to give myself more strength and height. DFM is my pref position atm. CM can be too much as Mullet isn't fast enough to be a box to box player

sooo annoying alotta times though, when i get the ball and press x, nothing happens. Just like whenever i wanna slide, when i press the slide button, theres like a good 1.5 second delay and the opponent is long gone by the time my guy does slide.

Some random has sent me an intivation to join his club, guy clearly doesn't know how gash i am.

I'll be on for a few later. Might see a few of yous then

 

[BarnDoor]

In that game where I scored 4, that bicycle kick from the throw was my second, so I got the accomplishment, but it crashed when I got back to the dressing room, and didn't save. That's twice I've had that achievement and it's been robbed from me.

It didn't go great last night but to be fair we played some very good teams. One observation - Sweey you need to try and hold the line a bit more. Several times I wanted to pass/cross to you but couldn't as you were just ahead of play.

Who's the shitest in the team? Surely there must be one that makes everyone go "Not this tit again".
