Kick the ball out when player is down???Also, I figured out player lock!!!

[Ronaldoisagod9]

Is that what that big yellow indicator is? If so...then it sucks that it turns off after like a second. Any specific way of doing it?

Also, i just figured out how to play with only one player. I'm Argentina, and i'm controlling only Veron the whole game..this is cool!

playing as a single player is cool but they could have made you player a different colour on the minimap

No, I think it's just to let you know that the invisible referee is playing advantage.

^ooooooooooooooooh...IC...cool!

One other question...the game improvement write-ups said that you can re-energize players with water bottles...i don't really see it, until before extra time...is that it...or can u create a break for the players?

 

[Ebonix]

I doubt you can create breaks but I think the water bottles only appear when a player is badly injured.

The play with only one player feature is a welcome addition to the game and adds a touch more 'real'ism to the general team play, 'specially when you only get minimal ball touches through out the match and have to make the most of it just like playing out there on the real pitch. -- great stuff hey. --

Actually i managed to score 2 goals in my first attempt at it, but since then i havn't even had a sniff at the goal.. maybe a snip out of form -

I slumped at first, but now I just look at the radar, and hit the open spaces. I was Ronaldo, and you know what's funny...everyone passed to me, except for Rivaldo (he'd just shoot it right into the defender)...is this game real or what!!!

I first decided to do it, because perhaps my defense would play as well as theres...nope. When u play single player lock, your team cannot "double" pressure the opposition, because, well, you're supposed to be the other defender. And this is bad. Also, they don't play as well defensively, as the team that you are playing against...but it's still rather fun.

I am going to keep playing in this mode until I give or receive the perfect pass, for an easy tap-in/volley.

hey guys,
u've been talkin' about the one player control thing and you didn't tell how you to actually do that.
Can u please tell me?

 

[Ronaldoisagod9]

Sure...go to the player settings screen (where u choose ur side). Find the area where you select the amount of automatic/manual change. Fill that bar all the way with R1, but keep pressing R1, then it will go to the next selection. After you've selected one that says something like C.Player or something like that, and press O, it'll take u to ur team management screen, and a box will pop up....like a help menu...don't know what it says. Press Square, and then go to the player with the "P1" beside his name, and press O on it, then put it on any player u want to control with O again.

^^^Wow, that was confusing and poorly written...my directions coorelate with the 2die4 patch. Let's see if it helped you.

Whooo, what a cracking single player game last night on 5 stars, Brazil v Argentina, selected Ronaldo as my subject and run riot across the front of the park, but no goals hit the xbar with a 20 yards header and then the post with a 25 yard volley, sad hey, then decided to change positions with Ronaldino, dropped back to the midfield and ended up setting up 4 goals with knife edge slots through and across the front face of the defence, and you know what, that was a even better than scoring em, 'specially when you don't have the time to scratch yourself when you get a hold of the ball, oh man, this game bowls you over. --

Yeh i know what you mean when you mentioned Rivaldo, Rivaldo seems to keep the ball and try out solo efforts, so to stop this just keep track of him and then knick the ball off his toes and do it all by yourself . ---

I love the single player mode, it really makes you feel more like part of the team as you try to make intelligent runs, clever passes, not let the side down.

Great fun when you set up a goal for someone else, especially iwhen they finish it off with a spectacular scissors kick.

Also when you make a dash into space, just keeping on-side and a team mate plays the perfect thru ball to you. You feel more pressure to score.

It can also be satisfying when you're team score a goal and you didn't even play a part in it at al...you just think "nice goal, boys"

Somehow, I think it makes you think harder about what you're doing. In normal mode where you control all the players, you tend to play with the same mentality all the time but now if you play as a winger, you have to think like a winger, when you play as a central midfielder, you have to think about when to sit deeper and when to make forward runs....brings a whole new dimension to the gamneplay.

btw, when you sub yourself, is there a way where you can control someone else for the rest of the match? i know you can switch to control all players but i'd quite like to be ale to just control the guy who comes on as the sub.

^^^nope...I played as Veron on Chelsea (transferred)...sat down in the 31st minute of the 2nd half, with a 2-1 lead, only to watch my side lose 2-3...horriffic! But that's the way the ball bounces...especially against Arsenal

Only way to switch is to go back to the player screen, and reset the control...then exit...then go back in, and select it again...then it'll prompt you to the management menu, and u pick from there
