I just can't figure out your play. I've played against teams 100x better then yours but your defence was like fort knox. I've played against TOTY LUCIO,TOTY MAICON, TOTY VIDIC, TOTY SILVA ect and managed to score goals in those games.
were you playing ultra defensive? What the hell were you doing to defend like that? I usually have no problem getting past defenders with the pace in my team.
I did find the running down the wing and crossing it into the near post very annoying at first but felt I managed to defend against it through out the game.
Couldn't finesse shot with RVP because it would have been on his right foot and his right foot is weak sauce.
Very frustating playing against sonny and his bargain bin team. Glad it was only 1-0 I lost to and that goal came from a corner. You did hit the bar with a pretty sweet shot from Milito early on.
Damn it. I want 88 Aguero.
mate, it's not the players you use, its how you use them.
i'll let you in on something.
Chiellini is the 2nd best defender in Serie A, the best is IF Chiellini.
Also IF Mexes or Milan Mexes (same card) have like 92+ strength or something, and has never lost a header, is fast and amazing at standing tackle. He is basically amazing and extremely well rounded.
Santon RB is 6 foot 2, this makes him strong and good in the air, coupled with his pace, he is amazing.
Same goes goes De Ceglie he is 6 foot tall.
For a GK Height is just as important as stats, therefore Buffon > Cesar.
I know how the engine works it favours both height and pace. Take Evra for example, im willing to bet Santon = Evra overall, yet one is rated 84 and the other is rated 77 or something. Evra has smaller legs, this does have an affect on the game, it will actually make him run slower than someone with similar pace but much longer legs. It also makes his tackle radius a lot smaller. Now you can just imagine what Santon's 6 foot 2 tackle radius is compared to Evra who is like 5'8 or something.
The best Defensive midfielders have a trait called tactician, if they have that trait they are simply amazing at defending, picking up loose balls, knowing who to close in on, knowing who to track, etc. They basically do 95% of the work for me.
I never play ultra defensive, it stops your strikers from getting into the box and it stops my "wingers" from making runs, etc.
The best thing for defense though is predicting what the other player is going to do, if you can do that then you can easily take the ball off them. I'm a good reader of the game, i see runs, i see turns, i see through balls before the other player does and i set up my defence to defend them before the other player does them.
The time i can run into trouble is if i see it too late, or i see it as the same time as the other person, not giving me enough time to react. I did this against OMS and basically i wanted chiellini to stop dead, but he ran 2 yards, by then it was too late. He had already turned with ronaldo and finessed a shot into top corner. In the second game though, i thought he was going to cross it, but he never so i kept running and he stopped cut in and finessed it. So 1 time he managed to "trick me", that is the best way to attack, be unpredictable. I can play that way too, but i find it a lot easier just to cross.
Look at my goals scored record and my goals against record. I'm too effective with the tactics i use. im certainly not unbeatable, but i am hard to beat.
my online record is 700 wins to 100 losses with 111 online trophies. Bare in mind i have never spent a single penny on packs or coins. So i have played some of the best teams out there and sometimes i win and sometimes i lose.
So i usually lose 1 in 8 games
, hoping to improve my record if i decide to play this again next year.
i have a great in depth knowledge of the engine, and certain players. Anelka for example has one of the best shots i have seen, Finesse or power, coupled with his height 6 foot 2 i think and heading, he is probably the most rounded striker you can buy apart from say Drogba or Dzeko in the BPL. I have used Torres, Tevez, etc but tbh, Anelka is better. He can do it all.
Same goes for Milito, he can do it all too, but he lacks one thing Stamina, so usually needs to be subbed in the 60-70th minute. Milito though isnt as good at finesse shooting as anelka is, i have scored plenty from outside the box with anelka, finesse and power.
