ok, so I just created my own tourny' knockout with 16 international teams, most of them the best in the game, as england...and had France for the first game. I didn't use tactics, I thought 'they won't beat me if I try hard enough'....guys....I....just....lost....9-0!!!!!! THEY SCREWED ME UP!!! You know how the V8 defence is better, but the attack lacked? Yeah, well know the attack is bloomin clever and the defence aint half bad either! Not only had their shooting got better, but passing also. Plus, the CPU keeper is about 200+ digits LOWER than in V8 for V9, so you CAN score some lovely goals like the one you saw in the barca v madrid game, but i just couldnt put the ball in the back of the net.
V9 is all about tactics and defending...if you don't defend well and have good attacking tactics, this is what happens lol. 9-0, flippin' eck! But the good thing is, is it gives the game a learning curve now, unlike before. Sure, right now it seems unfair and unrealistic. Truth be told I'm not good enough! So what do you do? Lower the difficulty level! And I have made levels such as semi-pro and professional much more playable. World class and legendary will be for hardcore players' who know what they're doing.
