Thanks Glad. Co-op makes it a 'nice experience' trying to score goals like that.

Bit of crazy long shots goals, nice vid!

Beautifulllllllllll!

Some wicked curve 

Reminds me of that Roberto Carlos free kick!

LOL ... some commitment there from the striker too!

Great & funny highlights mate .

Nice one Cuz. Hitting great long shots this year (and scoring is more of an art than previous iterations. Feels good to score one.

Kinda wish there was an "auto save favourite player's goals" setting. After each game, automatically record the goal - including the 'standard' replay as you've just shown - would happily wait an extra 30 seconds/minute. Kudos though to EA for improving the replays - finally!

Anyway, reason I say this is that Tevez is fast approaching 200 goals (179 in 174 with 40+ assists) - arguably our highest ever top goal scorer, given we've always changed teams so often! He hit a first time finesse from 20 yards - simply perfect in the bottom right - beating Begovic (our nemesis this year!).

I wouldn't mind spending a few hours making a montage then.

Sweet volley!

Here's a couple games then. Vids are obviously kinda long so if you are interested, be prepared to fall asleep.

Game 1.
This is one of the ones where nothing works. Pass speed was actually alright. It was foggy ofc, 3 out of the 1st 4 games I played with the A team last night were in the fog, which had me shaking my head.
I could note minute by minute the number of times the pass recipient was wrongly selected by the AI but that would take up most of the page, I started noting it mentally, 10 min, 15min, 19 min, 25 min... sod this. 35 min the wrong runner takes over the through ball and ruins the move.
Obviously I played some poor balls myself, towards the end of the game I was pretty dissolute and barely trying to play decent football. The main thing I noted at the time was my players touch and movement, releasing the ball in time was a real issue, as the game went on, I seemed to have so few options to do what i normally do. Early on, tackling and intercepting was the problem.
I actually take the lead with some prime sweat and then it really starts to go off. His 2nd goal is a comedy of errors.



Game 2.
So this is when things are working, note that I still don't win.
Main thing is that my players all seemed much more compact and more in control of the ball. The shorter passes were much more successful and generally going where I wanted, rather than behind or in front of my aim. I just didn't score enough. See the HT stats, 7 shots, 0 on target, despite several being clearly on target. Get some stupid AI choices and crucial misplaced balls in the final 3rd. Poor game from Isco, despite scoring my goal and hitting the bar, get caught on the ball with him constantly and make hardly any use of his passing.
His Shaqiri is surprisingly strong.
Beautifully dumb AI pass from Manolas at LCB on 48min. A few minutes later, he gets an almost cataclysmic auto switch from Callejon, intercepting a ball down the channel that Callejon looks like getting to 1st.
And yes, I still don't win. Naturally enough, he scores as soon as he gets a break.
Of course, tackling and intercepting were much more crisp as well but it helped that he was overly obsessed by pinging the ball fwd to Costa at every opportunity, it worked once after all.



Was gonna upload a 3rd game which I won, against a monster La Liga team, called 'When things go really well'. Played maybe not quite so much football as that 2nd one but simply got the breaks in my favour. Turned out I couldn't be arsed.
