Weird, i buried another before from outside the box with tevez, was a cracker, top right corner (playing left to right).

Fancy a game later? Anyone for that matter.. :)

Do you use the finesse button when shooting from range?
 
I play 433 with my United. Made some latest decisions recently as I use to leave Scholes out because of his lack of pace/tackling abilities. Now I include him because Hargreaves' passing is horrid and messes up a lot of my moves. So I've switched Hargreaves to right back where he is rated higher than Neville. So with that most my defenders are pretty quick.

3 in midfield are Giggs as LCM, Carrick as RCM and Scholes dead in the centre. Tevez LW, Rooney central and Ronaldo RW where his stats increase to 90. May as well play your best player in his position in the game I suppose?
 
No probs..when you're ready, go into the lobbies, and into the "Europe 1" lobby. I'll challenge you from there, I dunno how else to do it.

I havent really played around with formations and subs yet, just been getting the feel of it still, i'll get round to it though ;)

Is this on the PS3 or xbox? i'd like to play some cafites on the PS version!

If anyone wants to find me, my online id is ccooney
 
I was playing yesterday against some random someone, scored with scholes from the edge of the box, shit goal really seemed to role in, anyway somehow i lose the ball from a tackle from behind and no free kick and this lad scores on 89 minutes (disaster!), straight from the kick off i run towards goal, using the finesse button drag the ball past the 2 midfielders and let loose from just after the centre circle straight in the top corner?? :)

Also i've found when i've made through balls and got a 1on1 with the keeper somehow this one lad i was playing kept pausing to put me off, even if he didn't have the ball, how is this possible? The little fecker did it 3 or 4 times.

Seems to be a glitch, not sure, never had it done to me.

Hargreaves amazingly has an 85 for passing. That's not fecking bad.
 
I'm having a problem at the moment. I've no idea what's going on.
My FIFA says that i have signed into XBOX Live but when i try to play a ranked match or any other match over XBOX Live for that matter, it says i must be signed in to it and the EA Servers.
I must stress that i am definitely signed into live so i was wondering whether it was a problem with the EA servers.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Mine's the exact same. I thought it was fecked aswell, but seeing as we're both having the exact same problem it must be EA's fault.
 
That's a relief. I was fecking around with the internet connection before and thought i might have done something.
 
Still not working. fecking hell!
I was in the mood for this tonight aswell!
 
Is Old Trafford in the game and can you play at night?

Its 25 quid at play right now for the 360, i just may, i just may...
Pro Evo has been a let down this annum.
 
Hmm, people sending me game invites but it's not letting me into the game.

Oh well.

Anyone thinking of buying it, buy it, trust it's worth it.
 
It is worth it indeed. I've not even got slightly bored of this game.
 
To be honest, any of the mad Pro Evo lovers, that say Fifa is shit, has either A.) Not played it for longer than 10 seconds or B.)Sat there and played it, and had already made thier mind up before they played it.
 
I love it, all though it can be a little frustrating at times. Conceeding the odd goal because you played a through ball and it sent it to the wrong player (tried it with through ball assist off and its even worse) which gets intercepted and he fecks off and scores, sometimes not getting free kicks when you were tackled from behind and he never touched the ball, the stuttering when playing some spastic the other side of the world.

Otherwise, first class game and i can see it being played for a long time yet!

The stuttering can't be helped when playing other people online. Host the game rather then joining other peoples as then you rarely get lag.

The thing I hate is all the play ons as they annoy the hell out of me.
 
That's very fecking annoying. Just played a game United V Brazil. He sticks 5 men upfront. Have you ever tried defending against Adriano, Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldiniho and Robinho? There pace alone ripped me apart let alone having 5 of them up there! 3-1 to him it finished.

Was it a flat 5 upfront? Because I played against someone who tried something similar and I played 4-5-1 and they didn't get any of the ball.

I've never seen that though, what was he doing launching the ball up field and then simply passing to the spare man to score?

Got to be honest, doing things like that, whats the point in playing the game? bit retarded.
 
Thanks ...will keep that in mind.

I'm relatively new to the entire console gaming experience. even though i've played all the Fifa games on PC. I'm getting a PSP as a gift, so can anyone recommend some good games for it. Not really into First person shooters.... sports, racing, fighting(tekken types) are more my kind of thing.

Pretty much. The only person in my team that could compete for speed was Ronaldo. It didn't help when in the 60th minute I had Vidic sent off followed by Gary Neville as I was getting very annoyed.

He had them coming from every single angle possible. I had him take Kaka off through injury which was my only saving grace to be honest.

Most effective way of tackling to be honest. I find the other tackling methods are shit at best. Pull a man in off screen and time a slide, 7/10 its gonna work but if i get angry and he gets ahead of me with a bit of luck/bad pass or whatever, in from behind every time ;)
