Sounds dirty, let me watch, haha.

I'm getting more and more conscientious of offside decisions, i keep thinking that i'm clearly onside just to watch that red line creep away. I swear the computer is moving the players around in the replay to make them look offside just to make me go insane.
 
Can someone tell me how I can put a bit of curl on my free kicks in game. I think I have the power down, I just need a bit of curl to put it more in the corner away from the keeper.

Hold left or right.

I find you get more curl from doing a finesse freekick as well, by holding down RB (R1 for PS3) depending on your controller layout.
 
I've suddenly found myself capable of bringing down good players whilst playing as Tottenham. :eek:

Played the following one after the other last night:

Chelsea v Spurs
0-3

Spurs v Arsenal
4-1

Spurs v Man U
2-1

Barcelona v Spurs
1-2


Not one of my opponents would be what you would call a bad player. I genuinely thought I was gonna get whipped in the Barca/Man U games but I set the mentality to Ultra Defensive from the start and kept it like that all match which prevented them using their speed and passing through my defence.

Bent had a field day in all 4 matches with Lennon making great sub impacts.

I have tried holding left/right just seems that it doesn't get any more curl than if I don't. Using finesse freekick does seem to get a bit of curl but they just seem to be painfully slow, anything over 20 yards out with finesse freekick and the keeper will just step accross and take it

when ever ive played spurs, bent has always been a problem he is so fast and can beat even quick defenders.

same with the 2 sunderland strikers, there speed is awsome, i use it to great effect now, even beating the top teams.

I've also found Pavlyuchenko to have a good strike from outside the box. Scored 3 with him in those 4 matches all from a good distance, usually from a throw/corner which I have played short and passed to the edge of the box.
 
On BAP again yesterday after a couple of lets say "rowdy" :| sessions...got a game where i thought **** it i'll go a striker for once :D I realised im no maradona jeez. Only things i can do decent as a striker a) runs/move into space b) not get caught offside c) shoot on target 99% im not good with the skill moves at all and ive seen players who are and who dribble round players like Diego himself. Its a real shame you cant record pieces of online footage because some of it is quality.

Anyway both teams are labouring away.. its one of those matches which gets bogged down in midfield and dodgy passing both sides so not a lot of gilt edge chances. So it looks as if we are heading for a 0-0 draw when in the 90th minute :D I manage to get on the end of a lobbed through ball and score ground shot bottom left corner phew! (i had ballsed up 2 previous chances, 1st one was bundled off the ball by defence and 2nd one keeper saved the shot) so we win with basically the last kick of the ball yay!

What sort of formation/tactics are you playing? I want to play more ranked games but I can't figure out who I want to play with or what formation I should play. I think for me the best formation is 4-1-2-1-2, using the wingers
