I'll give you an example of what i mean.
I just tried it again...dumbed the graphics down to 1024X728, beckham with the ball, making a run up the flank, press long pass and across to cross it in, long pass decides not to work and beckham turns the way im pressing...ok i think, we'll go this way then
, Owen is making a run thru the middle, pass! pass! i push frantically...beckham is not listening, continues to trot towards goal...ok, shoot! shoot! i command...nope, beckham doesnt feel like it, Beckham ends up running across the face of goal with the keeper standing there watching him from 4 feet away, beckham trots past the far post and NOW the long pass kicks in and he thumps the ball away from goal and out about 50 yards back up the pitch.
Now tell me this isnt crazy on at least 2 levels.
1. My player, over whome i am supposed to be god, does not respond to certain commands for lags of up to 30 seconds.
2. The goal keeper stood there and watched Beckham trot past him 4 feet from his line!!!
Im finding it hard as to how you are defending this game.....
