Well, I was hoping that to be the case. Maybe I just need to accept that I am comfortably heading for promotion to the premiership in top form!

Actually, my team "chemistry" is only 38, but once I get my slick passing game going, the team performs near peak form, at least in game...

I have made crossing the ball harder, plus heading the ball rarely goes up and over the keeper (loop). You have to work harder and apply more effort to score from crossing the ball. The defence is tighter and the cpu attack a little bit more. The range for shooting is greater, so you can pin-point shots better now, but the rate at which you get the best range of contact on the ball is much lower making it difficult to get that perfect shot and power to beat the keeper, but you will score some wonderful goals with practice and if you’ve viewed my video from the last build of Xpert, you’ll see just what type of goals can be scored. These keepers are not superhuman, they are just much better positioned, some may view the value of the keeper with 200+ digits, this looks like an impossible to beat keeper, but if you check the tuning for the keepers you can see they anticipate the shot more often and the angles and actually react more realistically to the shot, rather than flying from one corner to the other like ‘superman’. Although some saves will be spectacular, because we do (in real games) see some amazing saves and dives.

The update is harder.

just another question.....i have won the premiership 3 times on the bounce and also won 5 trophies last season. surely my team chemistry should be more than 62! is there anything to tweak in that area? i know it's not really gameplay but just thought i'd ask!

i'm afraid thats not my area. Perhaps in the career mode file, but I don't look into that, plus the final update has just been sent out for release over at Sweetpatch.

Thanks NK. I'll check it out right away.

As for the team chemistry, I agree. I think this is something that is meant to take
a long time to build up (I am only in season 1 with Reading and am still at 38 near season end. I got up to low 50's with Leeds in one season. Switching players in and out, different formations, all kinds of stuff effect it I imagine. But playing close to the same 11 over
2-3 seasons I would think would bring it way up.

The thing that always bugs me is that the CPU players "form" ratings rarely if ever
exceed 70 while I often have players in the 80's.

NK -

Just played my first match with the new updated settings. I have
to agree it was more difficult and still captured the realism of
before.

I had a tough match lined up against Leeds and they took it to
me early taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, one on a header from
Cresswell off a corner, and then an own goal from Shorey. That
was one that hit the post and I just couldnt clear it. When in at
half 2-0. I was playing well but couldnt produce anything.

Second half started and I almost went down 3-0 but prevented
a 1-1 and had Inigimarsson ejected for the trouble. Then the
ensuing free kick was a screaming low shot by Wright that
went outside the post. That might have woke me up as I through
everyone forward into attack and got on own goal back from
Rui Marques off a wicked header from Convey that the keeper
parried high in the air. Then the lads settled in and I exploited
the wings and had a brace from Lita, both from the head, the
last coming late. Final Reading 3 -2 Leeds.

It was a great game, the most fun I had had in a while! Thanks
NK.

p.s. A lot of goals off of headers, but I missed several as well
so I am not sure if it is a problem.

Team chemistry is primarily a combination of your starting 11's morale and team experience (with morale being a little more important than experience, and the substitutes having a minor influence too). Team experience is basically how many games a player has played for your team, although the further out of position you play them the longer it takes for team experience to accumulate.

So it all depends on how you play the game. If you chop and change your team a lot to give your reserves the occasional game and rest your starters, then player morale in your starting 11 will be lower than if you just let the same players drive themselves into the ground. If you regularly bring in new players then they will start with a team experience of zero and drag your team chemistry down.

It is possible to adjust some of the factors involved in team chemistry, but I say 'why bother'. I've not noticed team chemistry affecting the play on the field to any great degree, so I prefer to manage my team the way I see fit and let team chemistry fall as it will.
