Ivan Drago Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 has anyone mastered the art of defending yet? its bloody tricky, especailly against human players. I got through the first part of career mode on the second attempt, never had too much trouble, next comp i entered though i got thumped every game!! I think i actually prefer this to the Master League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the lotto situation in Champions Road how you never know who you are going to get.Will make for better online friendlies with mates.Once all of us gets our level up we should arrange some friendlies this way rather than just an online match.

Aye sounds like a plan, could even have a JKB tournament at some point... Everyone still at 2 stars in terms o players they can get? I think the player development is much better in this one, and even though theres only 6 main stats things become a lot more clearer and in depth when u start improving your players, i think the 'missions' are cool as feck also.

I have a couple of 3 star players.Van Der Gun and a centre back can't remember his name.I have Ordaz(striker)levelled up quite a bit aswell.Only player i have that i really know so far is Oakley from Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a couple of 2 star attacking mids, a 2 star central defender, and two 2 star keepers, so really need to get my defence and midfield up to scratch. The formation screen confused me a bit to start with but i think the bit that comes up telling you what areas they can play and how well is superb, and the way you can easilty drag and drop your players into different positions.

rossi_1983 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 All my original players, despite having taught them skills, were still at 1*, so I basically have a new team! Best players are Frey, Juan, Aquilani and Makinwa all 3* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best players are Frey, Juan, Aquilani and Makinwa all 3* Yeah but are they not being levelled up to the same standard it's just they don't get the star.I have Ordaz levelled up on two different striking things and to be honest he is alot more lethal than the two strikers i have with 2 stars.

vegas-voss Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 So how do you defend. I just tend to double click on the opposing player and two players close him down then eventually crowd the opposing team out and win the ball.I had one guy online chasing me all over the place dragging his player with a yellow marker and getting nowhere.I just kept passing it around him and he was like a dog chasing a ball.

I am not actually sure I uncovered some good strikers so deceided to bring them in and abandon my original ones...Castolo was pretty good for me though Will go and have a look at the individual stats instead of being blinded by the stars!

I sometimes drag them with the yellow line and sumtimes u can get some good interceptions or just nick in and take the ball from their feet if u time it right, if not u can leave your guys out of position which can cause trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi_1983 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The new players you get can also learn new skills It appears that as the stats improve, they reach a saturation point, so a 3 star player has his limits of how good he can get (once he has learned 6 skills - have only just reached that point, but Makinwa has full bars for attack, strength, technique, so I think those stats are maxed for him) Gutted as I just played Sunderland, and my pick was their reserve goalie, so I missed out on Gordon Brashy, can't mind which codes I have added, so will recheck it this evening. Did you add my new code, rather than the one I first posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the offside trap quite a lot too, but it's risky. Slide tackles are difficult. If they have a player isolated, I will double tap a to get 2 going for him, then get one ofmy players to try a slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossi_1983 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Have added you both now Another thing is when they give you challenges, like "complete 5 one twos" or "score a free kick"...make sure you do them as soon as possible, as I think it is them that allow you to get players of better skill levels and also other things like more skill choices and the ability to have a bigger squad I just got allowed 4* players, and after beating Bolton had 1 pick and found Anelka (If you play Bolton and can get 4* players, go for the "his shooting is world class" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frey in goals, Juan and Panucci of Roma. I normally focus on trying to get attacking players though, so have picked so many smf with only 1* it's unreal!
