It takes a while to get used to if you haven't played clubs

We favor it because it's the only thing that works with us, lol

Once I move to the middle, we never build through the middle :thumbsup: But yeah, it's probably our most effective strategy, trying to play tiki taka with 5 different people + lag is difficult

Nah b, can't move. 6'3 is probably the highest you should go if you don't want 43 sprint speed and agility

I would like to play more through the middle but as you probably saw, almost every single team we play uses 6-7 players behind the ball at all times. It's not as common in '14 for some reason but in the higher divs on '13 almost every single team (90%) would run 5 man back lines with 2 DMs set to ultra-defensive and have 3 forwards cherry picking. The popular puber/favela tactic in '14 is to not use an any, cherry pick, and just have the CPU heave balls down the field, sprint into defenders and hope for a fortunate bounce. As you saw in that one game where we lost 3-0, you can be better than the other team and still lose on total shit goals, as that team readily admitted, lol

It's fun but if you are trying to play it entirely like real soccer it really just doesn't work. I play a ton of 1 touch stuff in Seasons that would never work here because everyone is moving around independently.

Additionally, you need fullbacks for defense, so you can't bring them forward. Thus it is usally 7-8 defenders left to deal with 3-4 attackers, and the wings is where the most space is. I'd prefer that we cut it back into the middle more often but alas, it's more difficult to succeed doing that.

Seriously all the good players in the 1st world must have mostly moved to PS4. I haven't lost to a Brazilian puber using Mineiro or Corinthians since 2013, I think.

As you can see he is just fast enough to make up for his relatively unimpressive OVR and twinkishness.

I can probably get a few games in but I need to hit the shower by 5:15 or so.

Yankee atop diving in like a mad man and you wouldn't be such a hapless defender

The last two games were so bad ratings wise. I had like a 4.9 before I scored a goal in the game prior, and this past game I had a 6.0 with a yellow. At least the passes are relatively easy to make in midfield. But yeah, my touch is still bad and the sliding should get cut out a bit

I fear I will never play with Chi-bob, since I am pretty much only on in the dead of night for him

If I were to prioritize things to pick up for clubs the first thing would be that you don't have as much time to make a decision as you think. In fact, basically a split second, since fatigue is not a real thing and people just sprint with every player the entire game, you are going to get closed down on in a hurry almost all the time. Especially against 7 man defenses.

I would prioritize lofted thru balls

Also, the L1+ square pass is pretty boss and can often find unmarked guys along angles that pubers miss. Unless you are yankee, in which case you it causes you to spray it into the second deck

Another anti lofted thru ball man is actually a lofted thu ball man.

Yankee made the nicest controlled dribble move in the box yesterday. I was so proud, like a papa giraffe when his young stands up the first time. After that tho he fell on his face again a bunch

oh man. This mode pisses me off so much but watching Yankee head the ball to himself somehow for a goal always makes me laugh.

To me I'm unsure if Yankee leaving a gaping fucking hole in the defense to steam upfield as a DM is worth the goal he scores every 6 games to me.

Being a dm is really one of those "fun for a game or two" before you start to get bored of never touching the ball cause we never play through the center, or we play so quick down the wing I couldn't drift wide and overlap someone.
