I generally play the best teams or the lower teams for a challenge.

There is a big difference going from Barca to Queens Park. You notice a lot more what other teams are capable of doing against you.

I do not like to change the sliders too much for this reason. If I adjust the sliders while playing Barca then go to QPR the game may not play right.

I wish there was one. Every player traps the ball like Ronaldinho. Unrealistic.

I get what you are say but, have you tried the passing error slider?

I believe people have noticed the ball will not be controlled as well by the CPU, including traps.

The only thing that bothers me is that fast players are dominant. There should be more of a speed penalty when running with the ball, because to me unless you have fast defenders online you are pretty much toast.

Apart from that I'm enjoying it

Ok. I will definitely try it later tonight and get back to you. Like I said previously, I tried reducing Ball Control for every player on my team to 1, but players still controlled cross-frield passes incredibly well.. and I was a lower level MLS team. Should not be happening.

Play as Santos, or really any team with Neymar.

The dude is like a cheat code. I'm better with Neymar than I am with Messi lol

I'm quite annoyed that when a player tries a first-time rebound shot, it's almost always a chip shot, even though I'm not holding down the chip button. It was the same way in last year's game as well.

This game needs a patch asap in my opinion. However, I doubt it will fix my problem - that is poor teammate AI. As in previous Fifas even in ultra attacking mode ( does it work at all?!) players aren't lively enough on offense. There are instances when I want to attack but there is no one to pass to. So I wait for more players to advance forward. The cpu seems to always be in defensive position no matter what. It's not fun attacking 2 on 6 all the time.

I cant defend worth a **** in this game. Its really spoiling the game the fact i am so bad in defense.

I dont score much either but i do create chances i just cant bury them.

The fact the game manual is so bare bones doesnt help someone who is trying to get back into the series

Biggest defensive tip I can give is take control of one guy and keep him in position, marking opposing players as necessary. Other than that, let the AI do some of the work, influencing their decisions with the 'teammate pressure' button. The old FIFA habit of 'doing all the work' doesn't apply anymore. Once I got out of that mindset, my defense improved immensely and I was able to start winning some games!

It can be very frustrating at times. The only thing that makes it tolerable is that you have more time on the ball but I end up basically wasting time hoping that my players move without the ball. I have noticed that the better ST's will make more runs, especially towards space. I've changed formations as well and it's helped to give me more options in attack.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but try raising your Chance Creation/Shooting setting in your tactics to see better movement around the box. I played my last game with it @ 90 and Pass Risk only @ 50. My guys were much more active in trying to get into shooting positions, which including my LAM/RAM making inside runs and CMs stepping up into space at the top of the box. It seemed I always had someone available for a pass, rather than trying to get in behind or drifting away from me. I also used Organized as opposed to Free Form, so I had a better feel for where guys would be.

In games before with the same pass risk setting and shooting lower (60-70) things felt somewhat stagnant around the box. I tried higher pass risk, but that seemed to make my players run away from ball (in a bad way), leaving me with little support and difficult passes... hence the "risk", I guess.

Setting the User Run Frequency @ 100 seemed to do the trick for me. My guys are so giddy to move forward now they're always offside!

Have to say the sliders have absolutely saved this game for me. I was ready to give up on it after a few days. Then I started moving some sliders around and presto... super good fun! Love this game right now, so much so I cancelled my preorder for PES 2012, lol.

Thanks for the tips

I found a great site with tips for scoring and with my improving defense the enjoyment of the game has kicked up a notch. I just won two UT games 3-1 and 1-0, My first clean sheet so i definitely think i am heading in the right direction.

I still Have the odd brain fart and get caught day dreaming but i am just glad that i am getting competitive and taking some chances.
