my updates are more challenging than original gameplay, this makes you have to become a better player. Only now these updates almost train you up as they demand better play from you. The problem is, you become too good too quickly and beat the speed in which the update gain difficulty and balance.
V9 isn't an easy update, you're just ahead of its time. The new update should offer an interesting combination of play in which the defence holds back longer making it harder to get past, in stead of past updates where the CPU players' close down and give up their space, in which you can exploit it with quick passing and movement. Now however, the games are slower and defences are much more tactical as the game turns to the tactical speeds of play rather than how fast the CPU players' close you down when you're in possession of the ball. This makes for lower chances and scoring oportunities. I installed V8 and scored straight away, I thought everyone said the keepers were almost impossible. This is NOT the case. V9 has easier goalkeepers, which can be a cause of the easiness you experience as your play was increased through V8 and since V9 was easier, it showed through dramatically. But as I said there will be no V10, the next update does not build upon V9, but instead takes a different path in the gameplay. One which doesn't base itself on how difficult the game can become...but how realistic.
