Havin played 2 full seasons on manual on the boards league I'd say it's more like the opposite way around to be honest:eek: there's nothing more frustrating than holding your own in a game against an assisted player only to be on done by a generic cross or a poxy corner:( Everyone to thier own and that but I'd argue that playin assisted ya end up just playing the percentages in games. Espicially when both players are assisted.

Well I rarely use crosses. I try to emulate the real life way the team im using play.... well the attacking side of it anyways (no passing back nonsense :P )

So for Arsenal it's gonna be excessive passing!

I'm just not good enough to do this on manual and I have no idea how to shoot in manual. I'm too competitive to be giving others an advantage tbh ha

Im not one to talk atm but its about persisting with it Ive no doubt you will see a variety of goals start flying in... but like I said Im not one to talk atm:pac::pac: Cant agree with ya about the majority of goals coming from set pieces either, IMO its the complete opposite most of the time

That's odd. I guess I'm just class at scoring from open play in assisted :cool:

Fanboy:pac: I think its just trying to emulate (other than the real thing obviously) a realistic game of football. Cant argue theres flaws in the game which dont benefit the manual player all the time but Id much rather win/lose at this than go back to a generic assisted play where the cpu is doing at least 70% of the work..

Mate stop trying to play manual the same way you do assisted. It took me about 6 months of constant beatings to figure that out. With manual other players won't be free every time you attack. You have to build up your moves and move the opposition around. When you do that you'll get far more chances and your shooting will improve. Tip for the shooting dont ai
To start with, just try and hit the target, or aim for the keeper and adjust right or left slightly to slot it away. As for the competitive thing that will pass.I went from finishing second in my first boards league season(assisted) to successive relegations(manual), I can honestly say I enjoyed the manual seasons more.

Gameweek 3

Lazio(adam88-s) 0-0 Dortmund(gillysome)

Best player I've played in the league so far. You had me streched more than once there but the Dortmund bus held strong :P very little in the first half and we both had good chances to score. Second half thou you pushed hard for the winner. I was hoping to get you on the counter late on but happy with the draw. Well played mate

GG mate well played and thanks. Yea had a few opportunities I would have hoped to score from but ah well. These draws are adding up, got to get my shooting boots back on! Could have scored 2 in the first 2 mins nearly. One with me intercepting a back pass type of thing but I didn't react quick enough.

GG though, looking forward to our second game.

Santos		- Kells97
Newcastle	- DHUSSEY1
Udinese		- Haunis87
Bolton		- gillly09
Hoffenheim	- Conor-Buckley

Lads, I'll be on about from 12ish at night Monday to Wednesday this week, and will be available for most of Friday. I'm sure I'll be available over the weekend at some stage too. Kells97, I still can't add you on PSN (when I last tried, which was yesterday).

EDIT Gameweek 2

Fowler87 (Haunis87) Udinese 0 vs 0 Lazio (Adam-88-S) T-b0n3

Another nil all draw! You'd swear I was playing defensively or something. I'm not! Had a clean one on one in the last minute was gutted I missed, although a lose for Fowler87 probably would have been a bit harsh. GG mate, well played. Your lads at the back were made of stone!

Thank **** ya didnt score, think a controller wont have been smashed by now:pac: Ah in fairness, Id say a draw was the fair result. I shaded first half and you shaded second and probably should have won it late on:P You've a similar style to myself so we probably cancelled each other out though... just delighted to get a summit out of the game after being robbed the last couple games!

(Gillly09) Bolton 2-2 Wolfsburg (PhillyC)

Was a really laggy game which ruined it. Say it would have been a good game if it didn't lag so much. Your first goal was really good nice build up play. the second was a bit of a calamity from my keeper and defender. Good game tho draw was prob the right result.

Gameweek 1

Troutfisher (Kells97) Santos 0 - 1 Lazio (Adam-88-S) T-b0n3

Good game mate, feared it was going to be nil all again after I hit the crossbar then missed the open goal after!

Kells...

Yup was a good finish for your goal thought my keeper had it.I still haven't scored from open play yet lol.

Good old using cross to chip the keeper. No where near as good or as effective as it was in Fifa 10, but still can come in handy when lobbing from distance. You will soon mate, keep plugging away mate, manual is key.

Edit. Gillly-09- Care to play our game? or WB to my text messer.

In fairness if that had of gone in I wouldn't have blamed you for smashing more than the controller!
