players with a high long shot rating seem to be able to score from anywhere!

i was "cruising" 3-1 up against Juventus with Man Utd and dominating the game... then all of a sudden out of nowhere Pavel Nedved scores a hat-trick of long range screamers!! then Tacchinardi scores again from long range!

and i end up losing 5-3 :f***:

i'm PISSED OFF

:kader:

grr!

Yeah, I've noticed that also. Athletic Bilbao's Tiko is a long shots monster too(:/)

I was lucky to bump into one of those long shot monsters and this "creature's" name was Daniel Montenegro. Got him for my team, and the guy averaged 1-2 long shot beautys per game, not counting all the assists he made (he is AMC).

I guess its a bug, and doesnt look like its gonna be corrected soon; the new patch isnt changing the engine.
Get two keepers in one goal that might work ;)

Julio Baptista is the best example of this. If you set Long Shots in the player instructions he'll will have an average score of 1 screamer a match.

Hmm, I've got Van Bommel and Barreto (H) They know how to score from long range too.

Guarin (Y) i've noticed this alot! They score like goal of the season goals all the time :D

Doriva does that for me (H)

The keeper was off his line and Doriva burned him

SO true he was my 2nd leading scorer last year and was out for 4 months too:p He once scored 4 screamers in one match(H) I think Juventus is the best at long shots everytime i face them it seems like all there mids can score from anywhere:kader:

Juve doesnt seem that strong to me. Just played them, had a pretty difficult match, but still managed to win 1-4

I dont think there too difficult either just i think they have the best long shots whenever they score aginst me its a long shot mostly from Nedved:(

Sneijder is a worthy mention too. Always scores plenty from long range in my Liverpool game.

Jermaine Jenas, enough said.

Daniel Montenegro did some really impressive shots for me.

Nedved is great at long shots just as he i in real life:D

what about him? ;)

Fredy Guarin is awesome at em.

Assuncao and Hitzlsperger for my Betis game. Awesome midfield combination that can destroy any team. Thomas is injured and I'm losing as well.

kim kallstrom. baraja too.

Makèlèlè pwns'em all (H)

Van Bommel knocks em in from the edge of the box all the time. Sneijder is ordinarily smashing them in from 35 yards, he just came back from injury and scored a screamer from 35 yards agaisnt Cardiff. I have them both in my man utd team. Nedved always scores from long range in real life tho, hes amazing, he just seems to hit the ball from anywhere and it hits the target.

A 4-5-1 with 5 mids with great long shots is unbeatable :(

my tactic atm (H)

Mine as well :(

so 4-5-1 is like the CM running to forward thing in CM03/04?

Nah, that was cheating because nobody would mark him. This is just a good working tactic.

It's abusing a new error in the algorythms, really. Long shots are too easy to score at the top end.

okay, but thats not something only 4-5-1 deals with. The MC to SC was only for that tactic. While long shots are always there

Yeah, but you are still exploiting an error made by SI. This one is not as bad, but by maximizing the long shot potential in your team, you are sort of 'cheating'. It does take a lot to make use of this, as you might have to bring in 5 new mids, so it's not as bad as the MC -> SC which gave instant results (also isn't fixed completely on FM, but a zonal marking DMC does counter it pretty good).

no it isnt cheating on the same level of CM0304 by any stretch of the imagination, the team still has to play well as a whole. In CM0304 the MC-FC worked flawlessly, even with a relativly poor MC/AMC

TROD.

Exactly my point. Not on the same level, but still.

Meh, it's not cheating. There's no bugs or glitches involved, so it's the way of the game really. :S

its just not realistic, i think thats the final conclusion we.. kinda have to agree on, it isnt realistic that you can score that many, but it isnt as such a massive bug or error in the game that cannot (in my opinion) be easily ironed out. I think SI would have spotted it and corrected it extremley quickly if it was so easy.

TROD.

maybe 0.9.3 could fix that, who knows (:/)

0.9.3, good god man, what game are you playing, the 9th incarnation of the original CM engine!!!! CM1 :p :p

TROD.

(H) 0.x... wudnt that mean it's even before the first release :p

so hes playing... the 3rd patch to the 9th Beta version of CM1 :D

TROD.

you geeks :(

Jenas never scored a screamer for me at Man City... Hitszlberger on the other hand :o
