I'm a PES guy since PES3 and have never looked back. However seeing as PES2008 and 2009 were both disappointing, I decided to give the PC version of FIFA 09 a try. Despite it being last-gen, it's decent enough.
But there is one thing that is driving me nuts and pretty much ruining my experience: Conceding free kicks.
In my first Manager Mode game, I lost 0-3 to Wigan. Antonio Valencia scored a hattrick of free kicks in the first 35 minutes, the third of them being an absolutely ridiculous strike from 40 yards.
The next game I have Aston Villa, Young hits the crossbar with his first attempt, scores with his next.
It's not just decent teams, in my first League Cup game I played Brighton I think, and conceded the first goal from a free kick. I went on to win 5-1, but it's still annoying.
What can I do? I know I'll be told to stop giving away free kicks, but these things happen, sometimes you just bump into a player and it's a free. I'm strongly considering taking control of the AI team if they get a free kick and blasting it out for a throw... : /
Perhaps there is a patch that lowers every player's FK stat?
