Wish I could get into it, I can probably count on one hand the hours I've spent on it since release.

Hopefully I'll get into it when the patch is released and hopefully they've improved the defending and the damn dribbling which was doing my head in.

Well ive been told by one of the testers that it has altered defending slightly, or it seemed to have.

I could'nt get into it first but once i made one tactic and did a fulls eason i soon wanted to play on and on.

[retired_thedizzyangel]

I just want it to stop a striker who is slow and crap at dribbling to seemingly run through someone like Rio Ferdinand or Sol Campbell like they aren't there.

I've seen Alan Shearer skin people with ease, now that is just silly, and I am of course a Newcastle fan and I know as well as anyone that is as likely to happen as it is Newcastle to win the league this season, unfortunately.

Remind me never to burgle your house, Cleon. It's alright - I mainly do the pensioners anyway.

I'm only posting here now because my heart is filled with joy. I'll post the tactic later (this being OT) but I took over Everton earlier tonight for a challenge. I thought a crap squad and some post-Rooney cash would make for a good game. Turns out their wage bill is something like 110k over the limit, so I had to shop clever, find some relative cheapies...

This isn't player tipping in any way whatsoever, but I'm really enjoying having Romario, Mohammed Zidan and Maris Verpakovskis playing for Everton. It's surreal, my engine room lack any flair whatsoever (sold Gravesen to lower wages), they just beaver away and kick people, then give it to the Globetrotters.

Yes, I'm addicted. And no, that wasn't very off-topic. But Romario for fuck's sake! That's better than Socrates playing for Garforth! Now I'll go and post the tactic, which I'm quite chuffed with. It draws on an old 433 I made.

Sorry, I'll go now. Off-topic, I know, I know, I know.

Hi Rashidi and the gang.

I have to admit there are some aspects of the game which are annoying as well. Its a hell of a lot more hard work than it used to be. Hoping to get my T1 in before the patch is released or I'll need to fly home just for the patch. The things we do for the luv of the game

I'me getting there I admit, but some of the bugs are pretty annoying. Life in general is pretty good, workwise its pretty rewarding. Lots to do and its all very interesting.

Ciao from Firenze. Internet access in the hotel room \o/ Here until Saturday when we head to Roma and the Lazio match is Sunday.

Two lessons I learned here
1- At any restaurant, just ask for the house wine, it,s all very good
2- don,t drink 1/2 litre of house wine before you visit the science museum (or any museum)
