Couldn't believe the PK tbh, I knew that you had tried to clear and that's what happened. I started only clearing with the shoot button or the lobbed ball combo to prevent that - sets up some nice counter attacks too. Keep up the good work, man!

Thanks! Yeah, with the Gatt move I didn't want to lose any of the attacking talent that we already had out there so I figured he could do a job for us at right back with his ability going forward and still be able to handle things defensively.

Interesting idea regarding the clearing tactic, I may have to start trying that to help save against the penalties. I do like using the cross/long pass button as I have gotten pretty good at being able to find Andy Carroll to hold up play off of the clearances.

I just mash the shoot button. I'm too scared of the undeserved PK due to some funky Ignite engine animation.

Ha, you know I was curious about the lines because there just seemed to be so much open space in a game where the pitch IMO is a bit small. Other than that, and the speed its pretty close to what I'm using. Now I just need to find a team, start over, blah blah blah, part of me is really aggravated about it, but I'm just trying to look on the bright side because it did feel kinda cheap not earning a top squad and Champions League.

Yeah, they seem to open up the game a lot and actually make it more physical such as real life. It also seems to give pretty good variety as not every team plays direct or always from the back, it gives a good mix. Can't wait to see you get back underway as well!

Season 2, Episode 15 - God Save The Queen(s Park Rangers)

In this episode we head to extra time in a battle against Queens Park Rangers in the Capital One Cup Round of 16. We then face Swansea City in a BPL battle before facing off against OB in the Europa League group stage.

[Matt10]

Wow! Another fantastic match played there. The QPR match was wide open - and the Swansea one was also wide open, but dominated by Vorm (sign him!). Great update.
