surely Rooney and Tevez are better finishers than saviet, yong and sharp.......?

they have 8 shot on target compare to your 3, they are AT HOME with crowds behind them so their forwards are less likely to be nervous. That both contribute to their higher conversion rate.

"tried so many formations" did you save and reload to try different formations?

1. Do NOT change a winning team
2. Do NOT keep changing formations

otherwise your players wont play together well. Especially away to Chelsea. It takes players a long time to be used to 1 system, let alone several in a short space of time

To all people moaning abt fm2008,
have you ever heard the word "appreciation"??
I believe all SI people are normal enough to do their best in implementing this game so they can satisfy their fans (and of course selling their product as much as possible..):-))
But nobody is perfect and that's why they're doing their best to provide the patches..
how would u feel if people are complaining ur hard work all the time because it is full of ur unintentional mistakes??

for that second match how did the scoreline go?

Cause if you were in the lead at any point and you let them draw it's more a case of you not defending the result properly over the game being flawed.

Again looking at the stats alone and not watching the game its looks like you were playing a flat defence playing on the offside and they hit you on the counter or a long ball is this correct?

Again if this happened it's your fault for not making the team play as they should when leading.

So if you bought a car and the engine was faulty so you had a car crash, you should appreciate the makers for their hard work and unintentional mistakes, even though the product was faulty.

While you are lying in hospital I am sure you will be content with the fact tthat "nobody is perfect".

ok I was 1-0 down. Equalised on 55 and scored my second on 74. I play 4 at the back and tend to play a highline. Though the point is the match shouldn't have been that tight. What do you do when you score. I always try to score more.

Mikey JS

Depends on the importance of the game really.

There is a bug in the known problems section of the bug forum. Too many long shots now matter what instructions you give.

See where I am going here? loads of harmless longshots from mids, no many dangerous close shots from forwards because they don't get service.

So it was a counter long ball like i predicted?

what i do depends really on the game.
I try to score more but also keep control of the game.

So in your example i might drop the line back a little (lets think about this, if they're down to 10 they're not going to have organized attack on you are they?)

And probably also if i feel i might be losing control give one of the midfield man more care in defense.

Also if your playing against 10 tiring the opposition by keeping the ball and playing wide and short passing so they have to run around is an idea.

Again it always depends on how the game feels.

I might even pop in an extra defender close to the end if i feel they are being too dangerous, so that what happened to you just doesn't happen
