Hey guys, i'm brand new to the WE series as of yesterday when I finally had some time and got my import/patched FE up and playing with the knife trick. Works like a charm.
Anyway, I must say I'm blown away by the game and love it, but also must say that I feel a bit sketchy about some of the controls. I've got the basics sort of down, but there seems to be lots of dribbling and special moves, as well as special situations, that I don't know about or don't feel comfortable in. I've spent some good time with the tutorial mode as well as free training, but still have some problem areas. Hoping you pros can give me some pointers...
I'm not even gonna ask about shooting yet, but I can tell i'm beginning to get the hang of it.
Heading is one thing i'm baffled about. X seems to pass to a teammate with head and Square seems to sort of clear or knock upfield to teammate a bit harder, but how do you position? R2 seems to let you do so a bit, but is there a way to really try and win the header each time? the ball comes so fast it's hard to move to it with a defender near.
Defense is also tough. the basics I know. I seem to be holding X a lot of follow the player around, only stopping sometimes so I can sprint after them. I basically haven't been using the double team at all. Square is suppose to do a harder run through tackle, but I don't think I've gotten it yet. How does this work?
Having only played Fifa2002 before (ugh...) I'm completely in awe of the passing system, but also confused by it. All I really use at this point is X, which just goes to nearest player right, you can't really specify direction? Long passes are pretty much beyond me right now, and I use through balls and 1-2's every now and then. The manual pass seems like it could be strong, but it's very hard to control.
Also, crossing. There seems to be an option that allows crossing to be automatic, which is default I guess. In my first game I scored three goals from crosses, but since then I haven't been able to do anything at all. do you guys use the auto cross setting, or do you make it manual so it takes some more skill and whatnot?
I think I should stop there. If anyone can add anything about dribbling that would be great too. Again, got the basics down, but still don't understand all the specifics and ups and downs of each running speed or how to do many special dribbles.
Hope that's not all too vague. I've searched all over for info like this and haven't come up with too many specific beginner type things. Evo-Web also seems to be down right now...
Thanks for any help!
