[Volante]

Will be on battlefield for awhile, but send us a message when you guys get on for clubs.  I'll pop over.

[doc_antonio]

I'm on now for the night. Bring it on.

[El Denzel Pepito]

On at 10 hopefully for my return, only on for an hour though (if my internet's improved)!

[J-Mc-]

I was shocking last night lads, tried to play CDM but ended up bombing forward trying to be a winger at the same time, didn't help when I was trying to play CDM while someone was using AI pressure either, just made the AI run into me when trying to win the ball back!

Shall improve for tonight if anyones on?

[doc_antonio]

i was the same, everything i touched turned to shit. got me soo pissed off, never knew a game could do that to me... might be on for an hour or 2 tonight.

I got pissed off in the end aswell mate, I only played about 4 games all night I think but ended up launching my pad after I went off.

[Mr Kipling]

I'll be on later. CM or CDM probably.

I thought you did ok mate, I was terrible, bar in the last game I played.
At times we we playing some really fluid football, I noticed that despite playing RCM both my goal, assist, and chances all came from the side.
Will probably be on around 10.30 / 11 for an hour tonight

haa, yeah i try not to launch my controller anymore, i've broken 2 already that way

[Volante]

The only thing I'm gonna mention for you two (Doc and J) is sometimes you guys tend to force the call for pass button.  About half the time it comes off and we can break, the other half the AI plays a shit pass or hits it off someones back and the other team is straight on the counter.

That's what mainly pissed me off last night mate, the AI was going no where, I'm free behind him so the thing turns and chips the ball to me, pissed me off a shit load which caused me to keep calling for the pass to force it forward.

Should have a better night tonight hopefully.

Oh it's fucking maddening mate.  I can't tell you how many times I've had enough space to accept a firm ground pass and I get this horse shit chip wank pass. 

[J-Mc-]

I wonder if it's ainything to do with our pro's stats mate, but it seems to do it with a higher rated pro (Chonks and yourself) aswell as the lower rated ones (Doc and Me ect) so I'm not so sure.

I think it's just the AI being overly shitty.  I dont think it has anything to do with us.  I'm sure their 'vision' and 'passing' stats are pretty low so they don't have the ability to see what we see as human players.

[G1 Jockey 4(betfair)]

if they are too far away dont expect the pass on a sixpence.

with them its best to build the play up a little and them make pass when nearer

oh yeah sorry bout a couple of crosses that never came.
my fat fingers got mixed up....pressed the cross button then the L2 at the same time while R2 ing to get a faster cross in.....i keep getting the fkin timing wrong

adding L2 just after normally gets the cross curving in or out

Even when they're about 6 yards away they still chip it, happened to me a lot of times last night.

The AI is thick as fuck on this.

[Vintage Nerd]

I agree that the A.I is crap, and if you couple that with a slight lag it wrecks it. That was my excuse for the first game anyway

You did well last night mate.

I've played clubs enough to know about the lag, no excuses from me here, I was poor.

[G1 Jockey 4(betfair)]

yeah i know they still do chip them ten yard passes lol

[J-Mc-]

yeah i know they still do chip them ten yard passes lol

It's annoying mate, you get a great attacking move going, the AI runs into a culdesac, you call for the pass and it chips it so high that there's no way you're winning possesion of it!

EA really need to get that sorted IMO but we all know they won't.

[Vintage Nerd]

I genuinely thought you did ok.

The AI passing does my head in sometimes, they seem to purposedly avoid ground passes, but i guess its the same for every team, so equal disadvantage, sort of.

[XabiGerrard]

Yeah the AI does get annoying, I was wondering last night - would no one fancy giving any a go again? I enjoy the games more when there's an any.

I know it was more difficult at first being any on this but was thinking now that people are more familiar with the defending etc that it might be good to give it ago?

I don't mind doing it sometimes but my connection can be a problem

I would mate but everytime I've tried it, I've ended up with massive lag.

Will give it a go sometime though.

[doc_antonio]

I'll be on tonight lads, after tonight i may not be on for a while, as im going to amsterdam this weekend and when i come back i've got skyrim to get stuck into

What time are people coming on at?

[Volante]

Clubs tonight?  I'm in a goal scoring mood.

[adwhite40]

Enjoyed last night for the few games I played, really enjoyed my 2 games in CDM too, clinching a last minute winner too! wont be on tonight but will be all night tomorrow!

[J-Mc-]

Clubs tonight?  I'm in a goal scoring mood.

Aslong as your not in a 'run in the way and block the shot' mood again!

Should be on about 8ish if anyone else is?

[Volante]

Well allegedly there's an update that changes the AI defense to Professional from World Class.  So I may be switching to CB.

[Jules01]

Not sure if thats a good thing or not - Same for both sides an all that.

Mind you a 5 man defence ai and a good pro gk and it was virtually impossible to score.

Maybe the cat will save us...

Mo and Rich are pretty solid cb's too,not seen you there yet soul.

You probably don't want to see me there, I've only played once and got a little lost. 

[Jules01]

Might be best trying cdm first and get eased in slowly

Fuck that.  I can play CDM.  We have too many central midfielders as it is.  Can't learn if you don't go head first 

[J-Mc-]

You play CDM and still end up in the oppo box more than the strikers!

I'll go CDM or GK when needed or if Doc's on so he can get the LM spot back, can play LB or CB aswell (although I ain't to good through the middle! )

When I play CDM.. I end up in the opponents box because no one is able to carve out chances.  I should probably just take Left Mid from both you and Doc.

Don't be a bell mate, every can carve out chances without forcing a pass

If you're the CDM, then you shouldn't bomb forward really, I'm guilty of it aswell because there's no cover at the back then.

Think we should start trying the 4-5-1 with the CM being a holding player, still got the front 5 players attacking then.

Well dont play cdm if you do that - pointless - thats the guys in front of yous job.Otherwise change position or change formation to not need a cdm.

Well that's not really fair, because you can't understand every game that was played in as CDM.  Sometimes that's what was called for and that's what I gave.  I also have to change the way I play to suit the people around me.  If I'm playing CDM behind a CM who can't go forward in attack, then I have to share some of the attacking responsibility don't I?

Yeah J.  Some of us try to carve out chances without ever passing let alone forcing one.  Not trying to be a dick like, but if you would whip in a cross first time when you beat your man occasionally, it would be appreciated.

Like you when you've got 5 defenders infront of you you mean?

I was getting 17/18 passes a game with 81% average yesterday from LM, mainly to you aswell, so don't start being a prick or you can find another club, simple as mate, don't want people in the club who're going to start thinking they're gods at the game because quite frankly, you're no better than anyone else in the team even with a high rated pro and you have just as many bad days as the rest of us.

Also, I'm not going to kick you out because you basically get on my nerves sometimes, it's a whole decision from those in the club, if there's a strong response about a certain player then they're going, if everyone wants them to stay then they're staying, so don't start with all the bellendry eh?

Oh and even when I do get a cross in, hardly anyone has a tall enough pro to beat the man in the air, hence why I don't cross, what's the point in crossing, losing posession and getting hit on the break when I can turn back and play a pass to the edge of the box where Chonky or yourself are waiting to have a shot? It worked last night and it's worked previously, don't change a working formula.

No you tell the cm to shift out of the way and swap positions.Sure we all go forward now and again from there but if the players in front are'nt doing it/creating - no good just bombing forward at the expense of the position your supposed to be in.

Basically if you want to create/go forward most of the game- dont play cdm or defence - simples

I'm not starting with the bellendry.  I'm just telling you that when everyone sees you go down the left, we know what's going to happen.  You're going to get past him, fake cross, turn back, get to the edge of the 18, finesse shot.  The game where Rich and I were playing Striker, it was you and Gus on the wings and we had two 6' Strikers and no crosses came in. 

I never said I was a God at the game, I'm more than happy to take criticism from anyone who cares to give it out.  As I've heard, this is what happened last year.  People took it too "seriously."  I never said I was above having bad games or anything, I apologize when I have a nightmare.  I compliment good finishes and good passes but if you're asking me to play in a side where I can't voice my opinion about something then to be fair, you're out of line.
