I think that you have to pay more attention to keepers because sometimes they seem to have super-natural powers... :p For example it's very hard to score even if you are alone with the keeper!

I think that it will be better if you can score beutifull goals (or sometimes super goals), for sure without getting down the difficulty level! That's my opinion...

im almost at a 100% lvl 1v1 with keeper, like i said just do a slight change in position then tap in straight away, long shots are still hard to score but im trying to think as realistic as i can when im playing the game. the main point being to slow down the striker and the ball before releasing the shot, of course u must create space first. somehow i feel that the ball is harder to keep down if u r sprinting..

yea nk ill definitely try world class now

cheers mate
work hard ^^ :rockman:

The goalkeepers in V9 are still been worked on, I have a totally new update to make for 2006 FIFA World Cup ™, as you know my versions now come with an update for both the games.

This meaning that the release date for V9 is still TBC, but the tuning of goalkeepers will be improved dramatically. Due to the nature of V9 focussing on defensive play and the importance of a good goalkeeper and striker, the balance between the two <b>must</b> but tuned. But in no way whatsoever will beating the goalkeeper be easy or just 'happen'. In some cases you'll find it very difficult, then in one game might take a shot from far out and see it glide into the back of the net. It's happened to me before. Have you guys checked the video footage of the reply I posted a couple of posts up? I'm playing in world class and that goalkeeper is of a higher skilled value on world class in the V9 BETA there, then what it is in V8 and that shot went straight in! It can be done...just practice.

Plus, in V9 I'm working on making breaking the defence much tougher...and making it so that even if you do break the defence, it'll be hard to get a 'good' chance on goal. But this is a challenge for me also, but one that isn't impossible.

:) gotto love u mate, nk

heres a replay of the goals i score on world class haha against villarael, im roma myself
the game ended 4-2 tho, cuz the cpu suddenly came alive when i got to 3-0 and scored 2 goals in 10 minutes, luckily my players had the compure to grab another goal..

notice 2 of the goals i scored i have the keeper out of position, maybe im lucky but i like it.. and take note on the last goal, i did two angels on it just to emphasis on what i said earlier tat, on 1v1 situation, u have to turn your player just so slighty on your path to the goal before a tap in, .. o yea and stop pressing E :)

I'll take a look at that replay soon mate;

Just so you all know, if you want to beta test V9, then send an e-mail to [email protected] and I'll get back to you on sunday when the beta will be sent out.

<b> All beta testers <i>must</i> give Feedback</b> ...otherwise what's the point eh?

I've just put together a new 5 minute promo vid for V9 that should get you hyped ready for V9's launch, which will be around the end of this month, or early August.

The update has made great progress so far.

hey, these are just some very small things...i don't even know if you can do or if i have to ask ockham.....but here goes
1. could you perhaps change the fact that the home team ALWAYS starts from left to right
2. also, when the cpu makes a tactic changing substition it doesn't really think it all the way through, it'll put a defender on for an attacker and the defender will play center forward even though the team want to protect the lead

There is nothing I can do about those, sorry.

I'll just add that it's possible to score in the 1st few minutes of the game and that be the only goal throughout the match. I think that is pretty cool and adds variation. I played as Brazil v England and Beckham scored in the 4th minute and after that none of us, not me or the CPU could score. I lost 1-0! Was a great game though, almost made it 1-1, but Ronaldo's shot, beat the keeper and sadly the crossbar JUST!! almost went 'SMACK' in the back of the net, I was gutted cause the build-up play to making the chance was really bloomin good passing and skill and I swear if Ronaldinho wasn't on my team I wouldn't have made half the chances I did. He shows through a lot now.

Which may well be why AI substitutions are disabled by default

Any advice to beat keeper in 1 on 1? I think that keepers in 1 on1 are too good in v8!
And CPU could use some quick counter attacks, because when they're 3 or 2 and my defence is not complete they stop running and wait for teammates but then is my defence ready!!
CPU is also loosing too much balls when triyng long balls.

Power of definsive headers is quite unrealistic. When CPU crosses and I clear it with header the ball goes up to the half of the pitch!

during 1v1, remember u must always tap in. And right before u tap in stop pressing the E button and slow down your run, just before ur about to tap in (provided the keeper is charging out) change your running direction slightly then only tap it in.

u cant do it when the keeper chose to stand still but u need to be much closer to the keeper.

CPU is also loosing too much balls when triyng long balls.

probably u are pressing the D button a lot, if u know what i mean

the CPU has been improved a lot. I'm trying to make it play as realistic as possible.

Ball physics are the main focus this time around, I believe they're the best physics I've done. The CPU difficulty is probably the most diverse I've created as games don't play the same as before.

You can play on world class and not be a great FIFA player and hold them off, maybe rely on your goalkeeper! But you can still score if you're good enough, in fact I have a replay of scoring on world class with Real Betis, not a tap in...I'm talking about smacking it past the keeper. It didn't hit the post either, straight in! Made the game 1-1.

After receiving a few beta testers feedback, I have noticed that the following was the main concerns;

1) The difficulty in directing a header was too high/almost impossible to score from a header
2) The CPU attack needs to be improved.
3) Too many CPU lobs and crosses going out of play


So I got down to editing and now...

1) Directing a header is much more realistic, but hard to score!
2) CPU takes more shots and is smarter at making chances
3) CPU lobs and crosses are much better and realistic.

Although the V9 beta was only ‘ball physics of V9’ and the CPU was V8, the positive feedback was mainly areas of the gameplay that <b>was ball physics</b> ,which is terrific news and the areas mentioned that weren’t updated are now much greater improved.

lol, this will be fixed mate. I am very aware of this 'bug'.

I am testing both a balanced and 'difficult' form of goalkeeping, be that the same value for user/cpu, or much like v8, cpu keepers are harder to beat then your own. This, along with the improved CPU attack could be very interesting indeed. I have tested the balanced version a lot, and found that my keeper has saved many great shots. But I myself have put them past the CPU keeper, showing the difference in the way a user shoots and the way the CPU shoots. This gave me the idea to revert back to V8 design for goalkeeping to ensure a 'difficulty' is set-out right from the get-go of installing V9. I don't want the gameplay to become easy because the CPU is incapable of scoring past you and you can put them away with some practice!! I'm sure you'd agree...

So I'm testing both options.
