THIS IS A BIT LONG JUST SO YOU KNOW!!!
I wish to explain how i play and what my problem is and then ask if you have tips.
First off i play using keyboard. Since keyboard does not accept three buttons pressed at once, should i switch to controller (which one do i buy? which is good for sports games?) For example i press down and side to go diagonally but pressing any other button at that time does nothing. When i release one direction and just hold straight, then it reacts to the pass or shoot button...is this just my keyboard or are all like this?
The other thing is i can't win. I just can't play. I played 10 cups so far and with fallowing teams: Portugal, Nigeria, Senegal, Belgium.
The problem is i just can't defend.
With most teams i don't expect too much, but with Nigeria and Senegal i expected waaaay better play. When i look at ratings for some of the players their speed is low. How come when on TV when you watch them play the african players have the greatest speed, especially Senegal who has great speed. Papa Bouba Diop is great and fast but his ratings in the game are terrible (5 for shoot but all others are 3 even 2 on occasion and maybe one 4 for speed) Don't understand this....british and US defence for ex. have such a speed you can't beat them...no waaaay...portugal always loses against US. Not sure why this is like this (amateur mode).
Another example is Nigeria. I play them against Argentina and Sweden and i win against sweden but tie Argentina. THat's when i saved. I then played England and reloaded 10-15 times already if not more, and i can never beat England and that is on amateur setting (the second one) I can't defend. Heskey and Owen always score and that's on bicycle kicks and receives off the the chest after which they pound it while ball is in the air and it goes right under cross bar and in corners.
They kill me even if i dominate the game and hold the ball in possesion for 65% of the game. I can score but not as much as these guys. (not sure how pro and world class levels are when this is FREIGGIN HARD)
I JUST CAN"T DEFEND!!!! why? I can't mark a man, my players simply don't position them selves right and when i see the ball going to Owen i pick nearest defenceman and run to him but he pushes me and gets the ball in the air and chests it and shoots immediately. No chance for me to defend. I started to rely on ball touching my guy first by chance and mostly on the goalie whom i send charging out every time to help the matter at least a bit since i gave up on being able to defend.
My biggest problem is defence. I can't do it even on this second easiest mode (amateur). I can't win balls in the air and after we both jump and the opponent wins my guy falls down on his *** or trips a bit so it takes him time to get up while opponent is too far by the time my guy gets up.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME!!!!! GIVE ME SOME TIPS AND POINTERS HOW TO DEFEND!!!! TELL ME WHAT BUTTON TO PRESS, WHERE TO STAND!!!!
PLEASE!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!
