The title is and will always be as it was and is always will be meant to be.

And was.

Formation change? FORMATION CHANG?!

Look let's just change to a 3-3-3-1, go all fucking Bielsa and I reckon we'll come up smiling.

 

[Xpike]

Sooooo what about changing formation?

*hides*

remenber when that happened like Tuesday, we got our asses kicked
Although it may not have been Tuesday, but rather in that streak in which we lost like 10 games in a row

 

[kharma45]

I suggested 3-5-2 and Quiche shot me down.

 

[Xpike]

We should go for a 5-man backline, with the LB and RB being able to freely assist in the attack.

That's what I was thinking with my 3-5-2, the two wide men would act as wing backs.

Middle CB can push up as a DM at times when needed. Bit like a diamond 4-4-2 but what would be the DM in it acts more like a CB.

 

[Hixx]

We tried 3 5 2.

It was a disaster.

 

[kharma45]

The problem is time and time again we all swarm after the ball and roam from positions. With it being a game it's hard to have any real tactical discipline.

we need someone on mumble to step up as our captain and shout at people when they're doing bad

Playing keeper for ~6 hours straight yesterday, I had the luxury of spending a lot time watching exactly that. Human controlled opponents, in particular, were like catnip to our front line. There would be 3-4 of our guys grouped up on one side of the field chasing a guy.

To be fair, I really only noticed those problems when we were defending. On offense, people do a pretty decent job of spreading out and trying to run towards gaps.

 

[AcridMeat]

I try to stay out of the way most of the time but end up seeing someone else where I think I'm supposed to be anyhow. ;_; That said there are times where you can't rely on the AI to defend so you'll need to rush back on defense.

Then again my connection is bullshit so I won't ever really see much play time in the mode anyway.

 

[Facism]

the less defenders the better, tbh. Defence and tackling in this game are a joke.

 

[Hixx]

I was getting to grips with it yesterday. Competing for headers is horrific, everything about that feels so weighted to the attackers benefit. But on the floor if you're a big bastard it's not too bad. The problem with this game is that you can't have a balanced player like in 14. You either need to go full fat bastard or full-Quiche.

 

[Mr Cola]

Invid seems to manage quite well, he can take it past 4-5 people and also tackle, no idea how he does it.

 

[Hixx]

Coz he's fast as fuck

 

[iNvid02]

headers seem harder than last year, and being beefy doesnt help much in keeping the ball, speed seems like the best option for midfield at least

 

[Hixx]

Beef is for defence

 

[Mr Cola]

So is everyone not bothered? I could do some games but people seem pissed by the game

5-1 would have seen us through on away goals too

I'll be up for some games too - Just doing some drop in's atm

 

[Hixx]

I'm going to play Splinter Cell but I'll idle in a diff room on the Mumble, if you play drop down into room 2 to tell me.

 

[Mr Cola]

I really think the wing might be the most fun position this year

 

[Hixx]

STAY AWAY FROM MY FUCKING WING

 

[Hixx]

fuck it lets play now, these Splinter Cell patches are doing my head in.

 

[Mr Cola]

As someone who will never be good at taking it round people i have no desirers for the wing, i quite like striker tbh

 

[kharma45]

I was gonna watch the shield but fuck it I'm coming on.

 

[Hixx]

Did quite well this afternoon, last game was a bit shit from us but loads better than yesterday.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

They were cheating

 

[Mr Cola]

If i knew how to pass i would enjoy this game 70% more, hitting a direction and watching it pass to the oppositions is soul crushing. I sometimes get the ball and wonder what the fuck im supposed to do if a simple pass is goign to fail.

Try semi or manual?

 

[Mr Cola]

I was on semi originally, no-one else seems to have the same level of problem, im quite baffled that im clearly doing something wrong but cant fix it.

 

[kharma45]

I liked 3-5-2 when we had a full team, less so with the AI but it seemed to work OK imo.

 

[Irish]

Like, I really want to play, but I'm also just itching to play a good singleplayer game for a while. I also have to do a lot of moving and shit still over the next week. I start Fall break after Friday though, so that's something.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Will definitely be starting Mordor tomorrow (if VPN unlocks work on Steam).

They do but when I did it with Borderlands 2 it was a bit funky compared to Origin. I had to play offline iirc.

Yeah was just searching some forums and it seems it could get your account locked. Hrm.

you won't I have played 5/6/7 games unlocked early by VPN and didn't. The only problem I have had with it is sometimes it doesn't track playtime or achievements. I completed South Park before it was launched here and only got a few Achievements and I still have my account.

Good to know, is Vietnam still the go to on early releases?

not sure for Steam games. Only ever used it for FIFA haha. South Park was USA and some games are Korea for Monday I think. Ask in the OT and someone will share!

 

[Hixx]

I used US for Borderlands, not gonna bother with a VPN for SoM, just daft that we have to wait until 6PM on Tuesday in the UK. Why on earth it couldn't be midnight or like 8am...

I remember getting up at 8am to play The Orange Box. What a time to be awake.

 

[Mr Cola]

I am so looking forward to shadow now, god damn

Yes.

i'd love to play a meaningful position that works in our "pass between the same 3 people lose possession lose 5 nil" system we have going.



i'm proper salty my offline pro lost all his skill moves. Game feels like trash without them.

 

[kharma45]

I'll be on in 2-3 hours if anyone is still around.

 

[Xpike]

Ahahahahaha damn.

Anyone want to play now?

yes, let's go
