Sorry about the very long post folks. :o

Its fixed. Always remember that the computer isnt a human opponent, so the computer needs to cheat a wee bit to make up for that.

DK10. Can't see much wrong with your long post if I'm honest.

I honestly do believe that you can create a tactic, (or a number of tactics), that create different types of chances, and these different types of chances have different chances of resulting in a goal.

I don't ever go into T&TGF but I am adamant that it is possible with a little bit of thought and s little bit more attention to detail.

If it makes any difference, (just to gine you an idea), I don't dominate teams the way that many others do, and as a result I have not encountered the 1v1 bug that seems to be causing so many problems. I think the reason behind this is that I am creating fewer goal-scoring opportunities, but that they are of a better quality than might otherwise be expected due to my formation, tactic and overall style of playing.

You mentioned my LLM thread and I think that is an additional point. Because I play to LLM rules, I create and adapt my own tactics and it has changed very slightly over a period of games crossing about 12 seasons. It means I have a VERY clear idea of not only what I want my players to do, but also why I want them to do it. Posters who download other peoples tactics or take advice, possibly don't grasp why they are trying to get their players to do sometjing in particular and this can create issues even when it is working because many do not know why it is working.

I'm really no expert and I am resisting from posting "It's your tactics", because it's both rude and unhelpful. It may be your tactics but to be honest I have no idea. What I would say is that in my experience it is possible to change the type of goalscoring chance you create to try and get round the seemingly unbeatable GK's.

Many may feel that you should not have to go into this great amount of detail in order to achieve which only limited success in what you rightly describe as "............." actually you didn't use a single word or phrase but your sentiments were correct, the standard is shocking in N.Ireland.

Your recent posts have been in a sensible, reasonable and articulate manner and I was quite surprised to see your registered date as your name is not one that I recognise. If you play by LLM rules then I guess that you will jast have to wallow in your mediocrity, but if you don't then maybe a visit to the T&TGF might help you a little in terms of creating opportunities.

I appreciate that the game has evolved over the years and is now a very in depth tactical battle and not the game that we both once played many moons ago. I like the way the game is going but appreciate that it can be VERY frustrating.

And one final thing....

What's that saying.....

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics .

superkeepers work both ways, I've benefited from them so much in 07 and especially 08.

Jimbo I play LLM rules but I refrain from posting in there cause I don't feel like getting my integrity questioned at every turn. It seems like most people in there are quick to bash a newcomer just so the regulars accept them more.

It might be just my tactics but I don't really want to change the way my team plays because I like my offensive formation and I hate playing 4 in the back and prefer 3 with a DM. Of course 4 defenders might solve all my defensive woes and I might run away with the league but I would never do it. I always play the formations I want to play not the ones that are most effective in the game. Hopefully whenever this new patch comes out they tweak things to either tone down the shots or the abilities of the keepers. Good luck and I'll see you around.

They seem to think it's some sort of "Exclusive Club" that you have to earn entry into, as apposed to the public forum that it is. :thdn:

starr_Man5. I can't speak for anyone else, but I wouldn't imagine that anyone thinks of it as an exclusive club that you have to earn entry into.

The reason I think this is because we have an "exclusive forum" that you have to earn entry into via a reasonable posting history.

It's simple in the LLM forums. Stick to the rules and there won;t be a problem. Unfortunately, new posters don't often read the rules before posting and this causes problems. There are rules that are specific to LLM and these are just as important as the no abuse rules that run through all the forums.

Some people seem unable to grasp some of the LLM rules and take offence when this is pointed out to them. Nobody is forced to go and post in there, but if you do post in there you have to adhere to the rules specific to that forum.

It's a far far far far far friendlier place than GQ, (and the speeling is significantly better too) .
