Is there any effective way of stopping players who whore ronaldo by sticking him up front. I play as chelsea in all my games and neither terry or carvalho have the pace to keep up with him nor the strength to hustle him off the ball and he just storms through and it's an easy goal for the opposition. I really can't stand players who use it as there is no real skill involved, any tips would be much appreciated.

I HATE seeing this or facing an Ultimate Team with Messi, Ronaldo, & Torres up front....!!! Can you imagine, VERY FEW defensive-backs could hang with them, if any and just pi$$es me off when I have to try and defend that!

i tend to go almost zero pressure, and high aggression.

How well does that turn out? I think I may try it out, does it depend on the players, formation, etc??
 
You can also try and edit formations and change mentality of defenders to high on defending and low attacking. At least something like that. Try out all the options in edit formation to get the best out of the defence

Already have a custom formation with player work rates etc. set, it's not so much the pace but the strength he has, he holds off both terry and carvalho.

My did that a lot seemed get an error with the players, updating adidas live season seemed to fix it for me.

I play on the PS3 and mine seems to crash every time i try to upload a video. I scored a brilliant over head kick last night and couldn't upload it.
 
Is anyone using Sky broadband having trouble with connecting to the online.

I haven't played fifa for a few months but went to play it on wednesday and I haven't been able to connect to EA. It doesn't even try to connect, it just comes up with a message saying 'you must sign in to EA and XBL to use this online feature'.
When I click sign in it comes up with the same message.

I can't think of what the problem would be. I've tried rebooting the router, changing DNS servers, using different gamertag profile, deleting all fifa files from the hard drive but it still doesn't work.

It worked briefly this morning but it's not working again. Fifa 08 doesn't work either.

Me neither, played over 500 ranked games too, then I'd say about another 200 odd against friends, AI, Ultimate. Worse thing is, i have players that never even attempt the diving header, yet a lone score them, not sure what I'm doing wrong?!

What makes it worse, I played the wife the other day and she got it straight away :(

I finally got one the other day - just randomly in a clubs match! The key is being a couple of paces behind the ball and spamming the shot button when its being crossed in lol.
 
Maybe someone here can help. Started a Be A Pro season a while back and have just come back to it, only problem is my team is all messed up. I'm the captain of the 1st so have the ability to pick the team. But for some can only do that in the BAP menu, when I go into the team selection right before a match it's full of basically the reserve players with only 3 or 4 1st team players.

Is there a way fix this or do I have to start a new season?
 
It will be because of injury and suspensions, same happened to me, some players dissapeared, then came back after a hand full of games. (i.e. they had recovered).

It's been at least 8 matches now and in the team selection screen, they are fit and not suspended :(
 
Has anybody got any tips on how to attack/defend successfully? Had a few games on the second difficulty and it was going well, then upped it to the next one and although I'm not getting an ass kicking, I am finding it hard to retain posession and get through clean on goal. Playing on auto everything at the mo, would it be worth while backing down a setting and getting used to manual everything?
 
Some of the semi manual functions are not bad, but manual everything can be a nightmare, just play around with them until you have settings you are happy with.

As far as attacking/defending, I like to play as a team with lots of pace up front and play a defensive game then play balls down the wings/over the top for strikers to run onto, works quite well for me. :)
 
My apologies if this been discussed before, but am struggling to win any online games.
Can any of you recommend a decent guide regarding the controls/tatics for PS3 Fifa 09.

Many thanks
