So I’ve been working on making the switch to all manual in anticipation of the full release.

Shooting is so hard! Any tips? Am I not a purist if I put shooting on semi?

My only gripes with all manual so far are throw ins and keeper throws. Does anyone else find that they can’t throw the ball short? I just tap the button on a throw in and the ball travels about 15 feet int he air, also when you lock on a man to throw to and move him around and then throw it doesn’t go anywhere near. Having trouble on keeper throws when I try to make a long throw down field, it either goes sailing out of bounds or straight down the pitch. Hope that just takes practice.

Anyway I can tell all manual is going to absolutely amazing once I get the hang of things.

Quick question. Is anyone else seeing unbelieveable success shooting from distance???
I'm not just talking about right outside the box or 20-25 yards. I mean anything in the attacking half of the field has a legit chance of going in. I've been scoring from 30+ yards with regualer consistancy. I've hit from 50+ with Messi.

Anyone else seeing this? I don't think its the finesse shot bug either, I just let em rip full power.

It's been patched. The demo does not reflect this obviously.
