:mad: Every time!!
 
Crazy. I just played two very, very good (and close) games against another fellow, who it seemed knew what he was doing. And after those two games (which I both won, but just) I checked his record. It was 15 wins, 21 losses. My only loss so far also played like a champion, but he had something like 5-2 at that point.
 
My Wes Brown Goal now has over a thousand views, 26 ratings and 35 comments...almost all of which are people trying to link me to their fecking video's....I haven't looked at one yet. Thats a pretty weird thing to do surely??....I might enter it into goal of the month!
 
People are commenting on my Gameface screenshot now too...."hey man, kinda cool"..?? what?...whats wrong with these people?

In fact my game face is the 2nd most popular user upload today on the main page!!!...Jesus Christ!
 
A sort of chinese valentino rossi ...which, considering I'm not chinese, nor look like valentino rossi, is a starteling achievement
 
How did you manage? I keep getting fecking this:

"Generation could not complete. Try re-adjusting the marker placement on your photo and try again."

thats what i was getting, id advise you upgrade your graphics driver and create a new Windows account on your PC and do it from there

I can't download my gameface onto the console.. it just says 'there is no gameface to download, visit easportsworld.com' et al when there actually is

on the EA site make sure you are logged into your xbox360 or PS3 account on there, you may have to go Edit Bio and change your Persona

I'd be complimented if it actually looked like me...One person commented that it looked stupid. Don't these people have anything better to do (says the man typing on Redcafe.net)

:lol: nah on the sad-feck meter, they outdo us don't worry.
 
I just played someone who quit after I scored in the 4th minute. That is, he quit immediately after I scored, one goal, in the 4th minute. Unsurprisingly he was a Liverpool fan.

Edit: And for the first time on FIFA10, I didn't get the win! For fecks sake.. is there a time limit?
 
Just got this today and played it for a few hours. Build up play is excellent, but I can't seem to score one on ones. Any suggestions?

Also, I tried playing with a friend and it doesn't work. I get an invite from him and then I can't choose my team and eventually it times out. Help please :( .

Try using the finesse shot - hold RB (xbox 360) and shoot

R1 on PS3...and aim wide to the keepers left (or right if he's a left footer) and try and bend it back round with the analogue stick...You'll get a lovely assured finish effect

Basically, always try and aim for the far post if you can
 
You'd all have loved that Ronaldo vid if he was still in a United shirt. Like the Evra game video, if that was Ashley Cole it would have been mocked.
 
10+ years of playing football games and I still can't defend properly. All my games are 4-3, 5-2, 6-3, 5-4, 3-2, etc, etc, etc. Any tips?

And also, is it worth playing online against strangers? I'm feeling like an online game but if cnuts are going to quit every 2nd game i'd rather not bother.

Don't pressure your opponent to often, it will cause your players to be left out of position when the opponent passes it inwards or backwards to one of his teammates, try to control your defender with L2 while running backwards along with the opponent you're supposed to mark, thus making it impossible for him the play a through ball. Some chase you like mad dogs, which obviously isn't too good, gigantic spaces are left behind which I often make use of. In summary, don't push up, hold back the defense with L2 whilst trying to position your player properly to mark the opponent.

Didn't know you could curl a shot in open play except for the finesse shot (R1).

Actually, I still think you can't. Doesn't say anything about it in the manual.

He's talking about the very same finesse shot, which you can bend in the top/bottom corner.

I have my doubts over creating a new Windows account, already have the latest drivers. Is it a wild guess, about creating a new account I mean?
 
I think he means aim with the analogue stick and press R1 when you shoot.
 
Played a few ranked on Saturday afternoon. The guy chose Chelsea and beat me (as United) 3-2 with a goal in the 120th minute, gutted. He asked for a rematch, i chose Liverpool and lost again (him again Chelsea) Anelka was just a beast.

So he wanted another rematch, i obliged and chose Chelsea as well... Was beating him 4-0 and he quit. Chelsea are too easy to play as it's unreal.

I have no problem beating Chelsea, although I know what you mean about Anelka and Drogba being hulks. Because of these two players, people try to play through balls more often to utilize them, they are much easier to read, just drag your defenders back deep to prevent races one-on-one with them coming out on top almost everytime.
 
Yeah i did, it was only by the odd goal he beat me. It was hilarious though watching John Terry catch up with and then throw Torres across the pitch, Terry is superman!
