two footed shin-high slide tackle might work

haha i absolutely pwned him with Abidal (no card either:p)

seriously though, the only united player i've had trouble containing is rooney.. always seems to score goals against me

(oh and the refs love me, i don't reckon there has been a game where i haven't recieved a penalty!, got two within 10 minutes against united:D - one with Foster (who was keeping for some reason) getting sent off and then Wes Brown moving into goal!)

god im getting pissed off at the keepers ability lately... i just had 12 shots on target and didnt score once... and of course the opposition score with their one and only shot :thumbsdown:... but thats FIFA for ya.

Try setting shot control to semi or even manual.... It will take a while to get used to and you might miss the occasional shot but once you master it you should be able to beat the keeper consistently.
 
Played a really enthralling game last night. I was Liverpool in manager mode and I was up against Middlesborough in an English League Cup game, it went goal for goal most of the match until they scored a 3rd goal in about the 89th minute.

I thought i was screwed until Torres got on the end of one and scored to make it 3-3. Now to extra time and at about the 97 minute Boro scored to make it 4-3. Towards the 120th min I thought im screwed and again and you guessed it Torres got another one to tie it up 4-4.

Now to penalty shootouts, it went goal for goal, goal for goal until Dan Agger stepped up if he got it, it would have evened it up 9-9 in the shootout but he had the shot saved and the final score was 4-4 (9-8 penalties) I was a bit pissed but it was a good game.

Btw what would you guys give this game out of ten?

lol nice... umm i would probably give it an 8 out of 10... it would have been more but there seem to be a few glitches in the game, eg. when you are chasing the ball and your player stops and does this weird side step dance... lol. I am one of those man united people, i have a record of 27-2 online...
 
Yeah refs in the game are a funny bunch. Some are so damn lenient, if you nail a bloke in the first few minutes and don't get carded you can almost do that for the rest of the game without picking up even a yellow.

Yet then I can cop a red card when it was more like a yellow, that bit if fairly realistic though.

The advantages are fkd. Scored a goal and the advantage goes back to a free kick, has happened heaps aswell.
 
That crabwalk glitch should be fixed soon with a patch apparently.

I hope you don't play as Man Utd every single game... I hate people who do that.. so boring.

Hate it when people do that aswell.

I myself pick Man United when the person im playing picks a 5 star team but if they pick an average team, Newcastle United gets the job done ;)

My record online so far is 30 wins 2 losses i think, still early days though

Nah, im man u most of the time, but i do pick other teams...

i hate it the most when they call an unneccesary off side... where u were offside when they played it and then by the time u get the ball the defenders are well and truly back in position, there isnt ne advantage what so ever... and also when u get called offside after it comes off an opposition player... i hate that.
 
Gee some things really do shit me especially when you are versing a human, that stupid crab walk.. I will put a lovely ball through and my player runs towards it then stops. Also in defence it can take an eternity to finally select the defender you want.

I just won my first game online though which I'm stoked about. My opponent chose Man Utd :rolleyes: so I went as Villa and beat him 1-0. He dominated the second half really and should have scored, but I was unlucky I didn't score when I booted one of his throws almost over the head. A fingertip save denied me the chance to do the robot.

Roosterlad where would you expect the patch for PS3 to be released by EA? Or another site?

I read on Whirlpool that it will be by EA, it is a gamefix not just a few stats and stuff.

Geez I just played another game online and was going alright but got flogged in the end cos I stopped trying. The more I play the more the little things annoy the **** out of me but maybe some experts like Mass can give me tips? Or do you just work around them?

Defence! SO unresponsive! I try and change player and I rarely get the right person, and when I do change to someone they look the other way or move the wrong way, by that stage the opposition has charged past me.

Keepers! What the **** is with them seriously? Why don't they come out?????? The ball can be bombed into the box and they just ****ing stand there, which coupled with the annoying crabwalk makes it extremely dangerous. Sometimes I try and get them to pick it up by holding triangle but that can often lead to my defender doing a through ball up the pitch (or in one case in an offline game, an own goal)!!!

So damn frustrating.
 
FFS i just lost 3 games online in a row wen i was winning the game and then my net connection dropped out to hand the opposition a win since its counted as a forfeit in my part :mad:....
Guess i shouldnt bother playing online if my net is capped back to dialup speeds :(
