If I get that far. I'm watching every game on the 2d now, all of it and so I notice when the AI magics two penalties out of the blue. It looked entirely like the engine looked at its watch and went "oh shit, only a few minutes left and I need a couple of goals so.... there. And there."

Ah, the oldest trick in the book by the AI, stuff you in every way possible.

August 2006The season has third-to-fifth written all over it. Ah but you don't seem to be losing, which is important, If the AI pulls a goal back and looks to be cheating it's way to a comeback, then you usually need to fiddle the tictacs slightly to put it off, just enough to get you through the remainder of the game. Don't let the AI get you down. KUTDLTAIGYDW! (Don't Let The AI Get You Down)

I fiddle the tactics all game long, Coffers. Something I've been doing since the first dot$ version and the reason why games take me so long, even when I'm not watching the whole thing.

Aye. As with earlier game, last season, when my right back trappeed the ball and ran away from it.
In the game o' penalties I'd been playing shrot passing, slow tempo for most of the second half, aiming to kep the ball away, but after the first pen went in, I switched to a quicker tempo, longer passing and counter attacking, to get the ball forward. I went into to each of my defenders and lowered his creative freedom, so that as soon as he got the ball, he'd follow team orders.
So that would explain why my left back The Rat - about my best defender - took a routine short ball from the keeper, ran 15 yards with the ball, then stopped, turned and did that dots-jiggle dance we've no doubt all seen, until an opposing winger came and had the ball off of him. Winger crossed into the middle where one forward faced my two centre halves and hey presto "That looked a harsh decision!"
I bet it did.

Maybe the fullback needed to have long passing instead of direct. I'll have to try that as well. Recently I've started to come across another one, where the GK charges way out of the box and gives the ball to the opposition leaving the door open to say hello to the back of the net, and that's with low creative freedom, very defensive and all things like that

The only good thing I can say about them is that our opposition keepers are generally more fookwit than my own for the rushing out trick.

I want the GK from my Lorca side. He's ace, and the best one I've seen come through. :moop:
