I usually only play 5 min because I like my games to go quickly, however I noticed that my games are much better/rewarding when I bump it up to 6 or 7.

This is the issue that I was having. On Pro I would get killed and generate little to no offense. (20 shots against and only 7 for avg.) On semi-pro, I'm able to generate more attack, but I feel less threatened by the CPU. (17 shots for only 10 agianst avg.) I play 10 minute halves on slow, I keep bouncing back between pro and semi-pro. I want to get up to pro, but I guess I need to spend more time learning all the controls. This is the first FIFA game I've purchased in proabably over a decade.

I'll give it a shot right now. I'll play on Legendary for 7 min. halves.

Will post results soon.

Well I just played my Legendary 7 min halves match. Liverpool vs. Fulham. I was Liverpool. I don't know if it seemed like they pressed more, but I did find out in the 2nd half that I needed more quick/short passes to build any sort of attack. Even then my attack was limited, as you can see from my 8 shots. I had two shots bouce off the woodwork.

Stats:
Liverpool(me)-Fulham(cpu)
Goals 1-4
Shots 8-26
Shots on Goal 5-16
Possession 45%-55%

My one goal came in the 90th minute on a Stevie G free Kick. I'll post the video in the highlights thread. It was more luck than skill.

Just watched it. If I was Fulham I'd be pissed letting that one in and ruining the clean sheet. But being a Liverpool fan I'll give you props for scoring that cracker.

EA Sports: Liverpool 1 - 3 Fulham

8 Mins
Pro
Slow Speed

I can't recall all my assists, but Shooting is "Semi" and Through Balls are "Assisted" I think (don't have any as Manual).

I don't know the controls that well, but I get good, even, games against the CPU and it's fun...which is enough for me.

10 Mins.
World Class
All Semi with Lobs, Crosses and Through Ball on Manual.
