Ok some facts here,
You cant go into an online game with a single player mentality.
In a single player game you go in to career mode and you can take aslong as you like at any aspect, tweak tactics and shortlist for hours on end. You can do what you like as you are the only player playing the game.
Multiplayer is not about career mode, the main function is to better your human opponent. You go in with your tried and tested tactics from your single game, you go in with your already saved shortlists. In event the game should be fairly fluent and smooth. I only usually change tactics online if its a)a necessity i.e injury or b) a drastic change due to getting hammered, C) a sub in 70mins to rotate players. This stopping the game every 5 mins is a very selfish scenario as the player concerned is lessing the enjoyment for the other participants.
Tips
play online with tactics you have already devised.
have pre arranged shortlists
Do all admin work with regards your team during other players matches unless by agreement in caht the others are happy for you to spend 10 mins sorting team affairs.
Now i'm hearing through third party on this thread what happened and TBH i'm disappointed, bickering like this has no place here and should be held off the forum.
Well done kozak and kuky for organising what i thought was a well thought out fun game for all. The thread apart from the wee bit of arguing at the end was great
