I have a different opinion. I still play with beta 7, but the better teams with players who like to shoot from the distance do this often enough. e.g., yesterday, MANU (and MANC as well) tried 4-5 times to make a distance shot against me (and in the right moment). imo very realistic. weaker teams I dont know at the moment, but of course not that often. maybe the only way is to edit the playervalues for mor shots from ouside the box?
Generally I like beta 7 very well. The AI attacks not always in the same monotonous way. There are a lot of bouncing balls, air-fights, deep balls from the AI etc ... good players make the difference on the pitch.
I noticed that since beta 7, there is an increaesed number where the goalkeeper can not hold the ball and let him bounce to the side ... random or RC?
maybe I should mention that I lowered the agility and speed attributes of all the players, but this should not change RC excellent mode in a big manner.
