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

yay - thank god im back :D bb is up.

PS3 reports download rate of 5.5 - 6mbps

Router page reports 16 mbps download

Did a couple of speedtests and i get around 4 - 6 mbps. Still its better than less than a meg which is what i was on before! I think the line gets optimized in the first ten days as well (sky)
 
lost 4 or 5 games on the trot. helluva rusty. The worst one to take is im arsenal vs real madrid its 1-1 and im passing it around crafting openings etc majority of possession. then as soon as he gets ball its ping pong 6 one touch passes, hes not even looking and its a goal. Sorta felt very unrealistic but nm.
 
Guys soz I played so consistently badly yesterday - dont know whats up with my game - most likely just concentrating on VP stats than actually playing the game (Ive only played 2 online games - first time without my VP being involved somewhere). So I really need to get some more 1v1 play under my belt - but I swear 1v1 is far far easier than ANY play even with crap teams (I think the generics hate me :p)...

Also need to work out where I fit best as Im generally just trying to get the ball rather than play my position properly. Dont think ST is for me in 10, Im not decisive enough and pass way too often in the box than needs be (I hate wasting chances) so will see how AM suits me - still need to get my crossing stats better as I know when to cross but my VP sometimes takes too long to do it (think thats the big surprise in 10 - takes way too much time to do anything in the game - with the fast pace of Club you really dont have any thinking time like you did in 09 where you could actually structure moves consistently - where I enjoyed ANY)

Love to hear your critique and tips - really want to get better as I know my play at the moment is nothing like what I can produce. While I remember do your VPs get knackered quickly - I just have nothing halfway through the 2nd half :/? Also if you sub a VP does that controlling player stop playing or just uses the sub?

I've been having the same issue with club and it's what's ruining it for me. There's no consistency in play.

2 identical passes. One you will control in your stride. One you will spend an eternity getting it from underneath your feet and the by the time it recognises the pass command you're lying in a pool of your own shame.

Then there's the fact that most goals are 80% down to luck. Namely how the ball bounces off your defender, how it ALWAYS falls to another attacker despite physics dictating it should have gone in another direction, how the defender will just be brushed off without attacking the aerial ball... the list goes on.

Then there's positioning and how it seems to expect you to have the stamina and sprint speed of Usain Bolt, demanding that you suddenly get to your box when your team has lost possession in the opposition's half and then back up front again when you regain it and so on and so on...

And of course, the goalkeepers, who would largely be more at home on a bus making sure the windows are clean.

Just can't be arsed with this version.
 
I think its worth perservering - we have a great core of players and the new additions have really added value to what we had in 09 - I just need to unlock the way to play 10 like we did in 09.

Remember this time last year we were still England/Bayern Munich and working out how to play as a team - thats not the case this time (I know it was mad at the start when we had so many players online and a fair few of them we didnt know their playing styles) so Im hoping its the case of knowing what to forget from 09 and what to learn for 10. Not one tackle/pass/shot is guaranteed in 10 and once I work out why it will improve my enjoyment of the game - so far a lot of things I do I would say 'Meeesssssssiiii' to in 09 ;). Perhaps others have just worked this out quicker - if you have please post!!!

One thing I find quite funny/curious is that the skilled dribbling we all thought would make 10 a far better game just hasnt played a part at all in Club 10. I use it against the CPU but rarely in a proper human game - FIFA just doesnt reward you significantly enough when you use such skills to make it an integral part of your online game...

I am quite honestly enjoying both ANY and ST!

I do find ANY harder than 09, but at the same time it's much more enjoyable, and satisfying if it goes right! The clean sheets I have kept as ANY were all very pleasing.

As an ST I think i have been playing well also, with a lot of goals and assists to my name and a high average rating :)

I think static play this year is all about finding a position and sticking to it as much as that is possible, with your stats/form meaning you will become a strong player in that position, so you may be a victim of switching positions often there poly?
 
Jonny was excellent as any. Especially with the marshalling of the back four to catch the opp offside.

when we had so many players online and a fair few of them we didnt know their playing styles

dont know if we know this though.

Well cept for Beenom - his player is basically a monster. As he retains the ball really well and was comfortable with the skills. But definately striker.

I think the online rating system is a bit better this year as it isnt as simple as "assists and goals" increasing your rating. As i remember one match i think i got MOTM but i had no assists or goals. So the AI is recognising a little what i do :D

Wasnt entirely happy about our passing but i'll be using a MIC in future so be prepared for someone screaming "pass!"

I'll explain a bit: if i am making a run please dont press X coz that is easily intercepted by the opp.(it passes to behind me) press through ball or lobbed through ball.

Wasn't nearly enough movement by players. We generally just passed it down the wings or got Beenom to use his skills. Me personally i prefer short passing movement lots of 1,2s dunno what everyone else prefers.

One problem i noticed from my play - is that i move about too fast it seems for people to decide to pass. Its either that or lag on their part because i will be moving in one direction and then run somewhere else but the pass goes to where i was previously.

Note that if im on the wing i will pull away right to the touchline/byline sometimes coz this draws the defender (sometimes more than 1) to me ie out of position and there should be bags of space for a simple through pass to get through to our central strikers.

We also need to be quicker with crossing and passing *including goal kicks* not holding on to the ball if there is no way through the opp. But if we get a sight on goal then shoot because easy to get rebounds.

You guys look at the map to see where their defence is positioned/ for openings etc yeah?

Using textchat to communicate during game is too slow for me.


yes Pseudo my VP gets knackered from about 75 mins onwards but i do a lot of running around as well.

maan - it's been ages since i've played clubs lol. due to shifting my stuff about, my ps3 is in another room so i rarely have it on all the time and i'm unable to check whether you guys are on or not..

will be up for a game tonight though.. :)
 
Not really played club for a while since its so hard to get 4ppl on at the same time. The old trick of just 3 in FIFA 09 just hasnt worked IMO in FIFA 10 (you need a static AM to support the STs and bridge gap between midfield when on a defensive stance we use).

Ive pretty much given up on 3player Club (its so hard when we lose because either we cant make chances or CPU ANY is useless), but would be over the moon if we can get a 4player one regularly setup. I know Jonny_no2 is 100% interested and so would be Skip (though I know hes getting more busier with college stuff).

I guess between me, Jonny, Skip, you and Been we could get say 2 regular sessions a week sorted out at specific times then it would work well. Im more interested in playing other games aswell so think 2 sessions is enough of the FIFA Club addiction for me...

Thoughts? I would make time to play Club if we can get at least 4 on... (that includes new ppl I guess if they are still interested?!?)

Happy Bday btw J :D

i'm defo up for joining up more regularly.. i'll make more of an effort checking if you guys are online from now on..

and yep, specific days/times would help me but getting the right days/times to suit everyone will probably be a PITA. also when having a 'spur' fifa club night, we'll probably lack players..

happy birthday J :)

Im pretty much always around and so is Jonny in the evening - Skips not been on that much of late but I know hes becoming a code monkey :p. We all can contact each other if someones missing though...

So shall we say 10pm is a good time for tonight and perhaps regularly (if weekends assume playing around MOTD)? We can decide frequency when everyone is around to discuss...

I've been really busy lately with the PS3 only being used for the occassional late night dvd to wind down. Haven't played a game for over 2 weeks. :eek:

MIGHT be able to play tonight.


Up for some Airkix Poly? Or maybe rock climbing? :p

LOL'd at your FB videos. :D
