*sigh* I got repeatedly hammered at the start, I think it took me 6 ranked matches before I sank low enough to play someone equally as clueless as me. I still press the wrong buttons half the time, I still can't work out why my opponents can find the perfect through ball yet when I attack they have all their defenders in place, etc etc I'm bloody awful up front, even when I am clear through I can't seem to score. I'm the online Barnsley I've played a few people from the Pro Evo forums and those matches are OK, mainly cos after a while they give me a chance and play as some naff team and I get Inter Milan, although I still barely scrape a draw. My mate's just bought it and we have some pretty good games when we both play as those made-up teams from League B or something. Bottom line - I'll always be rubbish but it's OK if you play someone equally as bad!
I thought I was doin ok untill I went online, I'm sure I am just as bad so don't despair. Its the taking part that counts. LOL
RE: *sigh* don't press sprint all the time and just tap it to shoot. So my little nephew tells me....
RE: if you don't press sprint all the time don't go diving in or players will go out of position. Only sprint down the wings. If you sprint in the centre you'll lose the ball. Be patient and knock it around.
