Soda Jerk Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Looks like my faux-love for Nick B has flown over the heads of everyone. I like him, but he's shit. Peter Schmeichel is the boss! Well, until he grew a goatee. That was rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Xbox live is good if you like playing online. I really don't. It can get laggy. Not just jittery gameplay, but a delay between pressing pass and the player actually passing. That is pretty crud. Most people you'll get matched up against will be arseholes too, who either quit when they are losing, or go OTT with celebrations/watching all 3 replays of every goal etc... I'd rather play a local game, but my missis doesn't like football games.Someone with a big house and TV needs to volunteer for hosting a big virtual kick about.How you know somebody is a dickhead on Xbox live. They select Arsenal/Man U/Chelsea/Real/Barca/Inter and whilr you fiddle with your formation they go straight to "Ready" and do that annoying thing where they flash it on and off.

Soda Jerk Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have no qualms with people wanting to play as a good team. The flashing of the Ready thing drives me up the wall. As soon as they try it, I just quit. Fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I love the new Creation Centre. I've just spent the last two hours creating a team comprised of every 5-a-side/Sunday league team I've ever played in and gave them all silly goal celebrations. They could really do with adding a few extra faces/haircuts, though, as everbody looks the bloody same. Tempted to make an AbMus team.

Soda Jerk Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 There definitely needs to be more faces. Creating players actually in the game is better for making players look a little unique rather than selecting a pre-made face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 One infuriating thing about the game that I KEEP doing: when it goes to a cut screen of players fannying around it's not START to move it along, it's A, which is fine most of the time.But when it's before a goal kick and I push A-A-A-A to get it moving along and then Almunia passes it straight out to Yuri Zhirkov in the 120th minute of an FA Cup semi-final when it's 2-2 and he tucks it away nicely and celebrates like a CUNT it is not fine. Not fine at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 That is infuriating. The loading times are quite bad which does lead to a lot of A tapping. I just finished 8th with Blackburn, but was put out of both cups in the 1st round, at home, to Bolton. Kevin Davies is unreasonably good. The fans were chanting nasty things about me after this, as you would expect, but my decent league performance, snapping up a fully fit Owen Hargreaves and the hint of some good summer signings (at least one "big name") has seen them get back on my side. David Dunn was my top scorer with 15 from midfield, which has seen him get his first cap for England.The games a good one. Definitely harder than the last couple, which I like. i had to come down from "legendary" mode for the first time since I started playing Fifa 09 as I was getting thrashed 0-5 by WBA.

Soda Jerk Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah, mashing A is bad. I've learned to not do it from Fifa 08. I've developed saint-like patience with all aspects of the game, especially online lag.I PRESSED PASS FUCKING 5 MINUTES AGO AND YOU FUCKING PASS IT NOW, TO NOBODY, YOU FRENCH TWAT.Saint-like patience.

Kieran_imray Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Anyone else getting mega annoyed at people doing the really wank shuffle dance celebration thing? Hard to describe but if you've seen it ,you know. People who do this, quit when losing (or even when they are 4-0 up and you score in the 80th minute), ready flash and don't skip replays/cut scenes should be shot in the face.

Soda Jerk Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 That shuffle dance is awful. All the daft celebrations are awful, as is running around forever. I'm fine with a good old fashioned fist pump, or a slide on the knees, but none of this backflip garbage.I only watch replays if I score a belter of a goal, or if I crunch someone to bits with a ridiculous challenge. Watching all three replays of a tap in takes the piss a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The celebrations get rather violent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran_imray Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Circling the keeper with arms in the air is great fun.Quoted for truth, but only against mates in real life, I feel like a cock doing it to a random online. Unless they are a ready flasher, or have already done a shuffle dance, then I feel no remorse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hell yes. If they've made me watch their scrambled tap in replay 4 times, then I'm circling their goalie forever. Maybe I'll even pause the game and wait the full 35 seconds for it resume. My cuntiness depends on their cuntiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran_imray Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 My cuntiness depends on their cuntiness.Same.I don't like how I can't annoy a ready flasher by taking even longer to sort out my starting 11 anymore, putting a time limit on that is annoying. I used to love taking forever, till the ready flasher un-readied, then flashing the shit out of him. Have that, you prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love taking forever, till the ready flasher un-readied, then flashing the shit out of him. Have that, you prick.The time limit is rubbish. Especially in ranked games where it sets to a most up to date line up and formation, so you only have 30 seconds to get the team how you want. 30 seconds isn't long enough to put 5 strikers on the pitch for optimum goal scoring chances.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Riiight. So this is taking a bit of getting used to but I'm beginning to manage to put a few decent moves together and scoring some half-decent goals.Crossing is an issue for me though...crosses never go where I want them to and are always defended without a problem. I'm doing it wrong, but how should I be doing it? I'm rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing it wrong, but how should I be doing it? I'm rubbish.Try double tapping the cross button, that tends to put them more central, I was having issues with all my crosses going to a wingers feet at the opposite side of the box, which is practically useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Double tapping cross doesn't change the direction. It puts it at mid height. The don't hang like full crosses do so they ping in a bit quicker and they give both heading and volleying opportunities. The longer the cross hangs, the more time the defender has to get goal side and/or mark up.Also, play as a team who has a crossing specialist, which you can see in the player traits/characteristics. It helps alot. The accuracy they provide compared to other players is astounding. Ryan Giggs can plant the ball onto anyones head. Even little Chicharito's. Repeatedly tapping shoot when the cross comes in builds up the amount of strength you want to imply in the jostle for the cross, so mashing it a bit usually wins the header. Not neccesary if you're unmarked though. Just tap it in. Just tap in it. Tap tap taperoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
