Default Riddle Me These.....

i)What has this game got against my Defensive Midfielders ?
The 3 I had last season finished bottom of the average ratings, and the2 I've got now are in the bottom 3.
Whichever one I play, he invariably gets booked or sent off and I've even had the board asking me to address their poor performances !

ii)Why do my keepers have Teflon hands.... nothing sticks ?
They may save the initial shot but they never hold on to the ball, they constantly push it out to an oncoming attacker who places it in an empty net.

iii)Why is it that my players get dispossessed as easily as taking candy from a baby, and even though it's near the opposition area it always results
in them going down the other end and scoring ?
I watch them standing there, dithering, deciding what to do - too late now mate, you've been robbed !!

iv)Why does "3 minutes added time" always stretch out to 5 or 6, usually resulting in a goal for the oppositon ?
I know it's the "minimum" amount but it's like the Alex Ferguson School of Timekeeping - "How much added time would you like Sir Alex ? Enough to get an
equaliser/winner ? Certainly !"

V)Why are we still having to put up with AI Superkeepers ?
I can win 2-0, 3-0 or better and still their keeper is MOM ?
It's got to the point now where any match I draw where their keeper is MOM I replay it.
I know it's cheating, but if the game is going to blatantly take the p*ss
then so am I !

Apart from these gripes, great game SI

By the way, I'm not managing the "Dog & Duck Sunday XI", I'm Bayern Munich....

i will not riddle you. that's just perverted

ii) your defneders are probably not set to defensive in their mentality meaning their not close enough to the keeper to get to the rebound.
although i agree that the keepers dont hold on to the ball as easy as they should

iii) doesn't really happen to me.

iv) sometimes it does other times it doesn't. anyway, 3mins extra means at least 3 mins extra

v) super keepers happen in real life, at the very least its not that prevalent in my games.

1) Personally, I think DM ratings are screwed. It seems more important for them to be involved in attacking moves rather then defensive moves, which defies the point in having them.

2) Is your keeper crap? When playing with a good team, this hasn't been a problem, but at goalie with MK Dons couldn't catch a cold.

3) Seems to happen often with DM's and full backs at least in mu case. Very annoying.

4) Many have commented about this, but I have only noticed this once, and that was because there was an injurt during stoppage time.

5) It's too easy to create a tactic that see's too many chances. And it seems that in order to keep the scores down, the keepers do to well. The best way I've found to negate this is to have no player any higher then the first notch ino attacking unless I'm desperate. This way, I get less chances, but score more, and the keeper doesn't do so well. I'd imagine this will be tweaked for the next patch.

i)Ponzio for my River squad managed to get 5 sending offs in half a season. LOL, now when he gets a yellow card I sub him

ii)They need better handling

iii)things happen

iv)I won against Lanus (as River aswell) by an Esparza goal scored on 96:57, the funny thing is that there were 4 minutes added on... I also conceded in the same manner

v)if you can score 2 or 3 goals they are NOT super keepers because super keepers means they DON'T conced (or concede at least one...)
