FC Dallas 4 - 0 Colorado

10 (8) - 7 (5)

Cooper - 2 goals
Cunningham - 2 goals

good game daigoro. tough break with the 1st goal (the rebound off the keeper). i guess after that, you had to play really aggressive which opened up through balls
 
Is anyone up for FIFA Club tomorrow (Wednesday) night around 7pm PT / 10pm ET? Just let me know if you're interested.

Damn San Jose is on my ass. I'm up to play tomorrow or late tonight Mr. Cornballer.
Yo. I checked online late tonight, but I think you were done already. What nights are you free for the rest of the week?

Just let me know what time works for you. Doesn't matter much to me. I'll give QVT a call and see if he's up for it.

First you beat magicked, and now I have to play you when you're sober? This is a turn for the worse.

I'm not at work today, so I can play whenever you want.

for some reason, when I invited Daigoro to the game, it wouldn't go through. we couldn't press "ready" or even change teams.

but when he invited me, it worked.
 
We can do it early if you want Woodchuck. Doesn't much matter to me. I have my league game with Goldstein at 4pm PT / 7pm ET, but any time after that I don't have anything going on.

EDIT: QVT says he's up for it whenever.

You played better at first but my luck varies a lot and it was on for a while there lol. At least the goals were nice :D

I couldn't get anything on net and you finished your chances. C'est la vie for zee Cornballer.

PS: I went to school with Jesse Marsch, so that was amusing, too.

Good game, Sneaky. Very competetive. Considering I lost to you like 7-1 last time, I consider this to be a victory.

sorry guys I am still getting used to it, once I changed the camera in the last half we played it was much better for me

Yea, I tried to play in the be a pro camera mode for a while, but because it rotates so much it is really hard to control your player. The wide view is still best for me.

Sorry I couldn't make it last night. I got back from my match and just wanted to sleep. :p

Really? I like the be a pro mode camera because you can pass much better to your team mates...I used to play around a lot in the free roam arena so I like it

lol everyone picking france, it's funny they make them the best team every year even though they suck now...no offense to french people...my team irl is awful lol

you can pass a little better, but is harder to control the distance at least for me it was that way

Yea, tele. Wide is in PES I think. Anyway, I like tele because you can really see where to move the ball and build an attack. Since I usually play CM I need this. Plus, I can see runs made by forwards by just glancing at the minimap.

StrikeVillain, for about the last 4 days I think I've come onto XBL almost like exactly 5-10 minutes after you've signed off everytime. . .:lol
 
Tough set of clubs matches last night. That was ugly. Need to work on my defense.

N.A. - I'll see you online tomorrow for our match. I'll hop on once the Arsenal match is finished.

I think our biggest issue is we do a horrible job of passing the ball around. At least the games I played, and the one game we were gonna win, they froze it lol

I know what this means and its Bullshit. Good game

lol :lol

Hail to the KING baby
Clubs is weird b/c even when you have no lag there is a huge but sometimes sneakily imperceptible input lag. Basically all the connection problems you'd think would occur in such a game are hidden behind consistently large input lag.
 
We had a lot of people, which honestly puts us at a bit of a disadvantage against smaller teams of 3-4. It's difficult to stay organized and there was a fair bit of lag now and again. Button pushing wasn't reacting quickly at times.

true.. but most times we try to either force the thru ball or someone tries to dribble 4 people when they have someone right next to them lol... some of it can be lag, which I agree sometimes between pressing the button and something happening it was quite bad.
 
Oh, undoubtedly there was some crappy play on our part, too. They just all felt like winnable games last night, but we kept on getting crushed.

I think playing against a team with a lot of human players it's much easier to find space through passing, but against the AI (and most of the defense last night was AI + 1 human) they tend to mark a lot better and keep their shape.

don't worry. it's cuz i wasn't playing. everything will be better when i'm on the pitch acting as Bergkamp setting up QVT :p


against AI defenders in the normal run of play, I don't think the over the top ball works. but during counter-attacks, they work pretty well.

also, i guess all of our offensive players should just get in the habit of always passing with LB + A so their guy can move after they pass (may not apply to those doing ANY since they only run in the forward direction). and if you see a guy coming at you, don't even bother trying to move past him. just pass it immediately to the nearest open guy

My second goal was extremely fortunate and I couldn't believe it when you hit the post from 30 yards, it looked like it was going in :lol
