Ha ha at least with Pro Evo you're totally in control whether you play good or bad. I admit though the Xbox version is really sluggish and frustrating, ps2 versions much smoother. On the plus side at least SI do more work in a year than Konami do! How much has pro Evo changed down the years and they still charge £30!
Back to my earlier rant, I then played on and won the next game 8-0 against Southampton. That game was at home.
It seems very hard to play well away from home. As Man U, playing Chelsea Arsenal or Liverpool away are extrememly difficult games to get a good performance out of your players. Even to lower down teams its difficult. But some would argue this is realistic, I just think it needs fixing as it doesnt seem to matter what tactics you play. In the Bolton game I played a Direct style, 4-1-2-1-2, Closing down often, with Rio marking Vaz Te and Vidic on Anelka. (Anelka scored the 5th goal).
Oh yeah I signed Gareth Bale, as my scouts said he was a quality player, and I wanted someone who could cover for Evra and Giggs, and as soon as I signed him the board said they thought Bale was a terrible signing, and my fans hate him! This is despite him getting MOM on his debut and getting 7s and 8s. 3 months down the line the fans and board still think it was a bad signing and he's 19yrs old and never got under a 7. In real life the fans didn't even turn on Djemba Djemba so why they're turning on a quality youngster like Bale I'll never know!
I just want the game to be more realistic.
