[J-Mc-]

Still quite a few of us play. Had 6 of us playing last night. I'm sure if you ask J nicely he'll send out an invite.

It's amazing just how few decisions we get in games.

Couldn't believe those 2 fouls on you in the box on you in quick succession last night.

The refs apparent hatred of our club even extends to football games now. EA need a slap

I just ended up giving up half way through the match mate, couldn't be bothered even trying to dribble through because I knew a foul would end up with them playing on.

Fucked me right off.

Oh and Mildale, send an invite to the club, just search RAWK FC in the pro clubs menu and I'll accept it

[G1 Jockey 4(betfair)]

one decision should have been a straight red.
a lunge from behind.

if that was me in a h2h game id be off

refs have it in for us despite giving us the odd penalty

[Vintage Nerd]

I made my comeback last night. Thought we had no luck in those few games.

Also my camera angle changed at halftime from sticking with the ball, to following my pro but low to the pitch

Did you press select by accident? I've done that a few times when my thumb has slipped.

Cheers mate, my username on that is mildale. I notice you have 15 midfielders and only one defenders in the squad. I prefer playing midfield but will play defence if it helps the team. Not that me playing defence would help any team.

We've usually got a CM spot open as everyone else takes the wings or the LAM/RAM/ST spot, it's rare we haven't got a spot open in midfield now mate.

I'll send you the invite tonight fella

Oh another note, what the hell was that City game all about!? They try and keep the ball for 90 minutes, had one attack from the corner and the rest of the match, they started moaning when we scored!?

Ahh well, fuck it, 8-1!

That match against the Northampton team was a cracker I thought, end to end stuff and getting that big CB sent off was a personal highlight!

I'm thinkin of goin back to CM so chances are a ST position will be open some times, I know it will be a big loss without me up front guys but you know you have to do these things for the team

We won 8-1 last night without you, we've also been winning games in the dying seconds without you.

You're on the transfer list my friend, the club needs the (relatively small) amount of cash you'd bring to us.

Oh hang on, I'm on footy manager again...

Everything just went wrong mate.

I honestly think it was because of how many were on, everyone had to try and get used to the way others played, no one could find a pass and as everyone else said, things just wouldn't go our way.

We should have won that last game aswell.

The chip I couldn't do anything about, but the other two were bullshit. I was under that corner yet it pushed it into the net and the second I was right inline with the shot (comes up as a red line to tell you were the balls going for those who haven't played GK) yet my pro decides to drop as he dives?

Was bollocks.

in fairness, that chip goal was a beaut.. i applauded him, not many people could save that.. that corner goal was bullshit, i call hax! also  one of the time when our CB passed it back to u j your VP fucked up and wouldn't kick the ball then tried to save it even though no-one was near you, was strange... but i guess that just sumed up our night.

yeah, we did have almost the full 11 on so it was hard with people running everywhere to try and find space, although it seemed i was always in space, but everytime i got the ball and tried to pass, either no-one was there or i passed it straight to their defence.. i want a faster VP but my guys 5' 11" and more or less wins every header, so if i make him smaller then i'll have no heading/air ability.. i like to see myself as an andy carroll type player, except yano... good.

Aye, remember that, not sure what happened because I called for the pass, the ball came to my feet, was pressing R1 to pick it up, then pressed square just to clear and it ended up doing that weird dive.

Thank fuck they just held back and didn't press me or it could have been 4.

As for your pro, make him 5'6 mate, that's what mine is when I play at LM and I tend to win a few headers, just make sure you position yourself right and use square to header instead of X when trying to header to one of ours.

might do that, i like my header winnings though... i think i need to work on my pro, as a CAM hes 82, as a LM hes 83 and as a striker(creator) hes 78... or as a finisher hes 76...

When i use X for a header its usually a free header for me or a knock on to someone else, i only use Square or Circle when im in a box or trying to clear it up field... i may try CM for a bit as im better at my passing game than i am with my shooting game..

My pro's similar in the overall mate, at LM he's 86, at LW 88-89, ST (F) 81, ST (C) 83.

Wouldn't mind trying to play CAM or back upfront as a creator to be honest, love running the channels on this, just can never find the right pass to make unless I see Chonky making a bursting run.

Going to try and dribble less from now on an all, hasn't been working at all the last few days. Will use my pace to beat a man but all that cutting back stuff is going to be getting seen less, so get in the box lads!

oh, thank fuck you've came to your senses! i always think 'right, j will run down the left and swing it in' so, I get in the box, then you do your wee turny thing and i think 'he'll turn and swing it in with his right foot' ..... nope... or if you do its too late and im trying to head the ball from a standing position.. saying that we all do it... i know i piss people off with the whole 'run to the left side of the box, cut in a curl it into the top right corner of the net' rarely works out but still.. i can do it easily on career mode

Haha I'm definately the worst for it mate, I know that, I just can't help it though, If I manage to beat the first man (more often than not I tend to) then I go into one man team mode and try and do it all on my own when I know I'm no were near good enough to even try it due to my pro's reactions.

I'll set my pro to a right footer, cut back then swing it in instead of cutting back then cutting up to go to the line again. Only reason for the cut back is my pro's right footed and it creates a lot more space to cross from.

Couldn't believe that actually went in. Scored a bullet header in one of the last few games last night.

Everyone seemed to have a complete mare last night. I had to quit mid game for an hour as i was giving the ball away every time I attemped a pass. 

The Chonkster actually asked if I would try one game on semi assisted, but that not how this big dog rolls.

I reckon we should really work on that 4 5 1 formation. was chatting with C last night and someone like Mo, Rich or (Lu)Gus taking it in turns to ay the CM postion as a CDM would work wonders as they are good enough to be able to balance the defensive and attacking side of the role.

I'd give that deep playmaker role a go, was trying the hollywood passes a lot last night and they were almost working apart from the oppo defenders having unbelievable speed.

Pair me up with someone who doesn't mind staying back in a and defending (Ash possibly?) in a 4-2-3-1 and Let Chonks have that CAM role, Mackkaa/Mo as the ST, Doc on the wing with yourself on the other and it could be really effecting.

Kip/Gus             Chonk/Mik          Doc/J


                   Mik/Mackka/Doc/Mo

we could be on to something here... i think our main problem is we have one formation then when others join we try a different formation to let more attackers in the team.. if we stick to the one formation and play with it for a while i think we'll get used to the people we're playing with and the positions they take up.


P.S chonk, it may have been just last night and i know none of us can slate the other since we were all shit.. but you seem to drift to the wings alot when you're CAM, do you prefer the wings? or in the middle? worth a try for a match or to, since you seem to know what you're doing out on the wings.

Honestly mate, that looks like it'd work, I'd even be tempted to get Mackkaa sitting next to me in that CDM role, he started out as a CB anyway so he'd stay back (I'd just shout at him if he didn't anyway )

Would be the way to go IMO, only problem is is that Mo doesn't tend to win many headers, so maybe Chonks going upfront with Mo as the CAM?

What about rich, ash, Gus etc.?

s'pose last night was a freak happening what with 8 or 9 of us playing, its usually around about 6 people on at a time.

I'm happy with that (obviously the previous rule still stands if you want to try a new position... then you'll have to find a new club, sorry guys. )

yeah J jus give mackka a slap if he acts out of order, show him whos the (im assuming) older brother, hence the one in charge.

Who was playing LB last night? easily the best player of the night.

That's the thing mate, it's hard to accomodate all however, I think they'd be set positions, so depending on whose on and whose not (regulars tend to be Mo, Chonks, Mcka and myself) then we'd have to sort positions out in the lobby.

Yeah I'm the older bro haha

Ash? He's Miks bro, was top class last night I thought and as you say, definately the best player of the night.

yeah, i drop in at least once or twice a week, but you know unlike you guys, i have a life (when i say life, i mean the girlfriend tells me off when i play it around her so i cant play it as much as i'd like ) but yeah, if we keep the core team then people can just jump in and out of other positions as they see fit..

may have been him, i cant remember, but whoever it was, was first back to every counter attack... i was impressed considering the rest of us were running around like headless chickens..

One other thing, see with the captain how does that work? i know it boosts the AI so i just pass it to chonk or Mo for captaincy everytime, does the game lag and connectivity come from how good the connection is from whoever's Captain?

You need to do what I've just successfully done mate, get the gf into gaming

Gave Danielle my old PS3 and LA Noire...I now say I'm going on FIFA and I get "Ok, talk to you in a bit, love you."

Master of cunning me mate


Yeah it was Ash, he was everywhere at once and didn't put a foot wrong apart from one pass that led to a goal, he more than made up for that with the performance in the second half though, he was class.

RE: The captaincy.

I always give it to the highest rated (usually Chonks or Mo) because it improves the stocks, but I think the lag issue is down to whoever the game selects to be the host, so it could be someone on our team, could be someone on theirs.

believe me mate, i've tried oh, so hard to get alex into gaming, and i thought i had her when i showed her skyrim, she was all "omg the graphics are beautiful" then "omg, you can ride horses?? best game ever" then after half an hour she forgot about it and got bored.. then i tried her with Saints row again "haha thats awesome, im just beating someone up with a giant dildo" then "so is this all you do, beat people up and shoot them?" she got bored and went back to watching some reality tv bullshit. she's a lost cause.

fancy swapping for a week? see if you can work your magic on her?

ahh i see so my connection is just luck of the draw really then?

If she's into all that reality shite then stick the sims on and watch the magic unfold as you get peace

You've picked games that you like, I picked one that I know Danielle would like because she loves all the detective/murder books (Yeah, I'm worried for my life already,) and that's the trick mate, find a game that peaks her interests

hmm.. sims is a good call.. yeah all thats on the telly if she has the remote is fuckin' jersey shore, the chelsea shit, and the newcastle slag show(geordie shore i believe) i'll give it a shot.. or ill just buy her all the boxsets of the shows and she'll be occupied for hours and i can do what i want!

as for tonight, ill be on after my match (which im feckin dreading, we're 4th in the league and were coming up against the best in the league and the last time out against them we lost 3-1 and the little fucker who played RB had me in his back pocket the whole fucking match, so close to punching him) so i'll probably be on around 11.30 if anyone will be on.

That'd mean spending money though? Come on Doc, work with me here man!

Send her down to me for a week, she'll go back wanting to kick your arse and take your place on FIFA in no time when I'm done with her mate

As for the RB problem, atleast we know it's not just FIFA were you're shit at beating one!

Nah i'll play there but not my favoured position - my game is pass and move(or what i try and play)i come inside because i try and make runs down the channels for a pass or try and/or make myself avalible for the simple pass - if theres no outlet when we have the ball we go long or try and dribble past a few.Sometimes the simple pass to me in space is on but it gets booted 40 yards to the other side of the pitch!Depends how you wanna play.

Personally i dont think theres anything wrong with going towards either wing and centrally.

We interchange anyway - mo tends to drop quite deep when he's striker and i'm cam.Or yeh we can try vice versa.Maks a good target man too,gets in some good positions in the box for crosses and gets good shots away when he's on form.

Aye.

Everyone interchanges really, tend to do it very well an all.

Only reason I think Mak should go CDM is that he tends to sit back whereas the rest of us tend to bomb forward, myself, mo, rich and gus have all been guilty of playing as a second CAM when we take the CDM spot, so we need someone to atleast sit back and cover the back 4. 2 of us as a CDM should help that, with us interchanging whose going forward and whose sitting back.

Should be easier to sort out with me and mak there because he's only sat in the next room so could just shout through.

Gives the rest of you a chance to get as far forward as possible then an all and keep the pressure up because we cause a lot of havoc around that 18 yard box as it is, giving the lot of you freedom to  stay there should see us winning more games IMO and avoiding another night like last night.

Not my decision though, team game, team decision.
