Holland v Scotland ...
3 Stars ( well come on , geesa break jimmy )
Half time ... Holland 0 v Scotland 0.
great battle, like the game on Saturday they had a few chances ( well the CPU does cheat for them ) my players brushed aside play-on but on the other hand freekick after freekick for them. Still not one direct save to make. Again when I got into shooting postions a defenders block or the now famous standing still and sticking your foot out to win the ball "Tackle" beats me and my move breaks down.
More of the same in the second half, from a corner headed out to the D my keeper had to fly across his goal and tip a volley over. Time is running out for Holland, I make subs with 20mins to go two new defenders and a freash midfielder. Never mind, CPU to the rescue in the nick of time. 75min, most of my players struggling to run the CPU Dutch Player still pinging the ball about and making lung bursting runs. And on the 75mins a usual CPU ploy run a player up the wing defender all the way shoulder to shoulder 4 defenders in the box 1 dutch forwrd, you know the rest. One trun by the winger and low lob into the box and a first time hit by the forward into the net. 1 - 0 . Still the drama was not ended, somehow again CPU inspired the Dutch defence to some how keep me out tackles flying in , in there penalty box and finally booted out in stoppage time near the corner flag, one last throw of the dice. A long throw into the Penalty spot and back header, only to be cleared to the D by one of the back-four. One of my forwards standing in the D as the ball comes down lifts his foot to bring the ball under control ( right I think to myself , low strong shot ) not to be, CPU steps in, from behind me a Dutch player runs acorss the front of me as I am bringing the ball under control, this run ( first time Ive seen it happen, because I have tried it Hundreds of times myself ) knocks the ball from me only to be booted up the park as the final whistle goes.
Again that is the first time I have seen a ball knocked away from someone ( is it R1 or R2 ) bringing a dropping ball under control using this move. I was not tackled, the player just ran across the front of me. I have said in another post that I want a hard challenge, but what I want is for the players in my teams ( ones with the same or better stat ) to act and react like the CPU teams players, when I am not in control of them. I have played FIXED player once and my teams players run/taclke/close down the lot just like the CPU ones..well in a normal game until I choose to press L1 and highlight a player then until then they again should act and react like the CPU's players they don't.
