***FIFA 10 - PS3 10v10 Clubs***

didn't realise we were playing the Spurs Community! I might have to let them win in that case :p

also am I the only left footed player in the squad? :o
 
Yeah I think we just need to play more games together - though I think VPs need to be of a higher standard if possible as the generics the ANY uses are crap (Im amazed how inept they are).

Im tempted to say we really need VPs that have at least skilled dribbling setup (ensures they have played 50games so a good chance they have levelled up) - tis a shame Club needs so much effort this year. Online BAP gives you a good idea how Club works and how frantic it is...

Can everyone who was online last night for the match post what they think we did right/wrong - lets use this to focus our gameplay and how we play as a team...

From my point of view I think it was unfair that Toph was on ANY - hes had some good games but only played as ANY a handful of times, before we played SCFC who seem to be pretty good going forward. Still good experience and I want more people to try ANY and get more games under their belt - I still think ANY is the cornerstone of the team.

ANY only controlling the defence line doesnt work - by the time they had a chance to assist the opponents have gone past them. The camera doesnt let you see enough of the play ahead if you focus on the defence and when you focus on the ball its hard to know where the opposing forwards are and what they are doing (radar helps but takes time to understand). I would recommend leaving at least one DM under ANYs control. Also I noticed that when I was ANY on corners I was taken them and had 2 generics up there aswell so only had 1 defender actually back there - mental!!!

Defensive line is still too high so I need to fix the form rather than promote ultra defensive nature (forces all to move back to defend). When the the ball in defence, dont try and pass it out unless you are 100% sure - whacking it out is the best option usually.

I noticed a few regularly out of position - that needs to be sorted out. On one match I was AM and always in front on my ST partner - meant I had only 1 ST to cross to and that ST had no one central to assist him. Its the main reason we use 2 STs to allow them to work off each other. Also I saw DMs behind the defensive line which doesnt help with offside etc...

Lastly, and I didnt see any of this at all, dont try and hog the ball - possession is key so try and keep it simple (dont do long passes, just link up 2 short ones etc) and if you cant see a way going forward play it back. We lost a lot of possession around the halfway line and were found wanting on the counter - if we just dont let that happen we wont be so frail...

Theres probably other points but thats it for now :p

i heard you won 2-1 so gj!

btw there is some advantages to ANY. Theoretically your VP should increase his stats quicker. Because it classes as your VP all the players under your control. (i think but it may not be gospel :D)
 
Out of the 3 games we disconnected on first, won the second and lost the third - guess its a draw?!?

Dont think you get an accomplishments if its isnt your VP though - Im sure Ive scored FKs with a generic and it hasnt added to my VP total. Not too sure...

A few things.

I think we weren't using the wings enough in terms of releasing the ball down the flanks rather than just running down them.

Pretty much all of us were guilty of hanging onto the ball for too long. I think we were trying to prove ourselves :p

Formation was fine, but people, including myself, were playing out of position.

Was unfair on Topher but he did very well the last couple of times he did ANY so seemed promising. We lack a really good ANY atm. SC didn't play with an ANY in their games.

I think having more people in our team was a hinderence in terms of building up attacks. You only have to look at the final game to see how just 3 people in a team can dominate the game.


BTW, for some bizarre reason, the final game went down as a loss on SC's stats. :confused:
 
only managed to play the first which was not even 45 mins.. think the score was 3-1? 2 of those being 'fifa' goals where you can't really do nothing to stop them going in.. the striker beating 2 defenders was one of which i remember :/

i agree with 'any' having at least the back 4 and a dm, this give the 'any' the dm to roam up when the ball is further up the pitch. this way it isn't so hard when the ball comes back up the pitch, while leaving your back 4 nicely set-up and not disorientated..
i think the 41212 works best when we have 6 players, anymore and it's a mess!

other than that, i just think we need to play more games together, especially the new peeps wanting to play more.
 
I would like to do a bit more ANY, I think I have done well so far when I have been apart from once were we got demolished by a team playing as Brazil.

As I always used to say (moan about) in 09, and you've just mentioned, I think it's essential that the ANY has 5 players at his disposal, the CPU is actually fairly good at holding the back 4 in line while the DM can be used to sweep up just infront without disrupting them.

I agree with your point about not passing it out of defence pols, I always hit circle to hammer the ball away if I am not 100% sure I can do better by playing my way out. This seems to be a lot more important in 10 than it was in 09 somehow.

You may have noticed this if you have played when I have been ANY? For example I hit a 50 yard shot the other night which was because I was just trying to make sure I cleared the ball, it was only inches from going in as well! haha!

When we finished last night I realised why I was getting lag, before I came on I had started the FM2010 demo downloading and completely forgot about it! :D
