yeah seriously man. . .i honestly can't get over is why some of u guys still insist on playing on manual or even semi, i know there's the excuse 'i can put the ball where i want to put it' but it's completely ridiculous not because you guys aren't skilled but because online clubs has so many variables when it comes to the connection, the quality of the CPU players and the opponents that we need every single bit of help we can get. i'd rather a pass go to someone rather then to no one at all.
when 99.99% of all teams play with full auto, what's the point in making life harder? because instead of one pass going to 'where you want it to go' it takes 5, 6 passes that go astray or to the opposition before we hit that 'one pass'. i'll tell you i play with full auto except lob, and crossing and if that makes me some kind of pussy then i'm a pussy.
i honestly could care less about playing 'beautiful football' in fifa clubs because there's no such thing. when the opposition team does the OTT through ball glitch and score off kickoff we're the ones that look like pussies.
and this isn't about caring too much about winning, but it's the way that we're losing. . .u tell me out of however many losses we've had in the last couple days how many you felt weren't cheap or as the result of goals scored off of under hit semi passes? i know how skilled some most of u are and that makes it even harder to swallow (that's what she said).
i gotta say i think i'm done, sorry, but i'll drop this mega dope ass club video before i let the door hit me on the way out.

I gotta agree with koji on some level here, as the biggest proponent in the world of real life joga bonito, at some point you have to weigh the misery of losing versus the perceived added value of manual passing. Nobody should be on manual. I don't think semi a-button passes is harmful just because it is the same thing as assisted from fifa 09. Crossing should also be semi for pros so you can actually aim it where you want it, the assisted will put it in the same spot regardless of aim (this is useful for bad crossing skill players like the any will have)
And you're not going anywhere koj, when I get back from portland i'll wash the bad taste out of your mouth with golazo.

i think we were 2-4 in the games i played yesterday but 2 of the losses we could have very easily won. i always get frustrated in the moment but i always come back when i have the time. only thing that could keep me away for good would be persistent connection issues (mostly gone for me) or rampant (>50% of games) and aggressive glitching. i mean when you lose 1-0 or 2-1 or whatever even if the decisive goal was "cheap" it's hard to make a particularly cogent argument that the loss was completely undeserved; as a good team you should be able to score a couple goals.
now yeah if some guys come in and do the same play and it's 4-0 then fuck that. but i honestly think at that point we should just quit and not waste the time. like in that game against the cheapish team yesterday i would have been more than happy for everyone to quit and for us to have another go. the good games are long enough that i don't have any compunctions whatsoever about not spending an extra 20m of my life just so some asshole team can hear the final whistle and save their replays. plus those games are just depressing. if people are starting to slide tackle and do stuff like that because they feel the game is so out of hand (been there myself don't worry) honestly i would way rather bail and have another try. there are still more than enough good games to be had.

Rough night on Clubs last night. I haven't really gotten back into form after not playing a lot recently. I feel like my passing is shitty plus my defense still isn't up to snuff. I'll mess around with my passing settings and see if that helps at all.
koji - just take a break or something. Not worth getting angry over the game, but it'd be awful if you quit permanently.

that's what's funny is that sometimes there will be a horrible pass or whatever and you'll be like NOOOOO when really all it was was that the person pressed at the perfect time with what should have been the perfect amount of power and for whatever reason FIFA decided to make the pass go out of bounds or drop right in between two people or go to the only defender in the area. sometimes there's nothing you can do about it (other than spend 20 hours a day getting better at manual than you would be at auto/semi i guess :lol)
only person i'm mad at is koji for not shooting that empty net equalizer! screw you koji! good riddance! (kidding)

It's the short ones that bother me. If I try a 50-yd cross field through ball and it gets intercepted, it's not that big of a deal.
I'm glad I didn't play last night! :lol
If a game isn't going well for the team, I'm all for dropping out. Honestly, our rank will never be high enough to be at the very top, so why worry about it? Just play to have fun.
I agree with the manual control sentiment. I think the biggest thing is the throughballs, which I always forget to change back to auto... Semi short passes work well enough. Manual long balls work great, because it charges fast enough that you have time to play the pass.

I lost interest once I cranked it up to World Class. The AI felt really cheap. Might see if I can get back into it now if I'm not playing anything else.
Cornballer said:
World class is tough, but I think I'm finally getting used to it. I've managed to go 4-0-0 at the start of this season, but I've played Bolton, Blackburn, Birmingham, and West Ham. I was down 0-2 at home to Bolton, but managed to pull it back to win 3-2 in the last 15 minutes of the game with some magic from RVP.
I usually play 10 minute halves, which seems to lead to pretty realistic games. I take my time and pass the ball around the midfield, then look for space to exploit.
I must say that the difficulty of world class increases exponentially with each alcoholic beverage I consume. :lol

I've always been a sucker for manager mode/master league since my PES days.
Do players get better now? I stopped playing CM because after a season where I would loan out the young guys, or implement them in my team, they didn't improve at all. I hope that is fixed.

You should have no trouble. The only thing changing is that they won't have energy enhanceing substances. Still the same great alcohol percent and shitty taste
People were buying cases at a time, and I struck up a chat with the local liquor shop owner and he told me that statement and laughed at the money he was making from stupid people.

Good games, fellas.
Good news everyone!
Since semi-retiring from active playing duty, I've been more focused on my duties as the manager and I can now reveal that I've been in contact with Mick McCarthy and we've agreed a deal to transfer Zubar (black version) from Ramen to Wolves for an undisclosed fee ($20 and a copy of Black Ops). Still seeking a buyer for white man Zubar though.
Rejoice!

goddammit, I'm running out of generics to pin the blame on when we lose, once White Zubar and Wardle (that guy is just as bad as Zubar) are both gone, everyone is gonna start realizing I'm really the one to blame...
