Massive load of sh*t. How do you pass it around the robotic 8 man defense A.I that predicts everything, including skill moves.

I don't think Ive scored a through ball goal against the A.I. They just track every player so closely its very hard.

Apart from controlling the GK whats other problems people on here would like to be fixed with the patch?

To be honest I haven't found too much wrong. I still experience a weird momentum shift in games. Some games every shot and pass I make will be inch perfect and and then you have games where the simplest of 5 yard passes go astray. Not really a patch able thing to be honest.

Just the GK/AI defense issue for me so far. Its ridiculously hard playing against an AI defense and a human controlled keeper.

Ashley Cole is sometimes referred to as Joe Cole by Martin Tyler.

Haven't got around to buying FIFA 12 yet but I'm enjoying FIFA 11 a lot more now as all the players who pick, Chelsea , real madrid , Barcelona seem to have disappeared as have the quitters

Strangely enough, I haven't come across one person online who has used the goalkeeping exploit.

In the online H2H seasons how many 5 star teams are there? I seem to be playing Real Madrid every second match.

Guys, how the fudge do you take a penalty in this game and make a save?!!

Had the whackiest penalty shoot out last night against some dude online.
Due to lag every bloody second from both of us we couldn't get the shot off in the green and add the lack of knowledge to take them, we ended up missing 22 spot kicks each until I somehow got it on target!
We were just ****ing glad it was over!!!

Haha tis hard enough taking pens online. Have to press the shoot button a good bit before it actually goes in the green spot. To save pens, right analog and direction to dive.

Lucky for you, but you will. I am just after playing about a dozen games in h2h and UT and only 2 players defended themselves. Anyone who can't use the new tactical defending just lets the AI do it for them.

When the AI has control of a defense the players become faster. By that i mean Carragher and Dawson can catch Remy who has 92 pace and had 4-5 yards on them ffs!

Frankly i haven't bothered with single player in years because playing the AI is crap. This is EA's biggest screw up for a long time because it ruins h2h, UT and even clubs.

Anyone tried to play 2 man clubs now? Nobody uses an "Any", so its the exact same as playing be a pro single player.

The only problem is that, even though you know exactly what's happening, there's nothing you can do about it.

what i have been doing when i see this happening is pass the ball around for ages just keeping possesion, they usually get bored and switch back or start messing with the goal keeper, then u score from just over the half way line

Villa have been taken over in my manager career mode.

They've bought in Dzeko, Xavi and Nani.

Mad stuff.

newballsplease

im one of these players that doesnt really give a toss about my rating. like who cares how much uv won or loss? seriously?!
But the quitters and people who switch to the Goalkeeper instead of actually playing the game are the sadest bunch of twats ever!

Looking at their community forum, seems to be down for everyone.

How can you tell if someones using the keeper exploit? I don't think I've come accross it yet and I must have played 40 odd games online, 30 at least.

If you see the opp keeper name appear in the players name box thats a good clue plus when you get get past the rock solid defense and they score because of it.

You'll notice that the other persons name disappears from over their outfield players head. I've played about 15 games online and probably only 1 or 2 where it wasnt used.

Kinda defeats the purpose of playing against another person when the computer is doin half the work for them :mad:

Oh my god, what have they done to defending!
