carmellaisagoddess Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I can't say that I am fully confident in my tactical defending skills yet but then I guess other people online are in the same predicament as me so its made for some entertaining free flowing games. I am unbeaten in my 16 head to head ranked season matches so I am eager to get this league underway. If anyone wants a game add me gaffer786.

TUFCfan Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Count me in again (brfc1987)Â Far from a fan of the new defending system which should ruin my record of having the best defence (in the first league conceding only 8 goals). Â I hate it. Can't get me head round it at all. Its gonna be my downfall in this league for sure. I'm struggling to work out the controls for it in alternative control mode. Just can't do it. I either have to change the control system I've been using for the past 10 years or just accept I'm gonna concede a fuckload. Are you trying to use all three buttons? I had a lot of trouble at first but found it a lot better when I stopped using L2 and just used X and Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I don't mind the new buttons, although I think it's completely unnecessary to have no option but use in ranked matches. I used the new buttons for the first time tonight though, first game was a 3-3 and the second game I was 6 -0 up after 22 minutes before my opponent rage quit. Not that I blame him, the tactical button lay out seemed to do nothing to help him as I just walked around his vain attempts to win the ball each attack I had which led to an easy scoring opportunity. I can see why EA have ditched the constant pressure button/method as it was slightly game breaking but the tactical defending probably does give way too much advantage to attackers. A Messi or Ronaldo is going to walk through defence after defence with the current set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFCfan Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Although we've had dropouts from the end of last season I'll still use mostly use the general drawing order template I've mentioned before. I was going to do the top two in both divisions as the last four, but due to tapout tapes changing his mind and not entering, I've decided to use the top three in D1 to still keep a final four, with the general draw order as follows.  - Players from outside of the top two in D2 (bottom upwards)  - Players from outside of the top three (bottom upwards)  - Returnees from previous seasons/last season who couldn't play a full season  - Newcomers  - D2 champ  - D1 top three (champion last).  The trickiest person to place was blackcountrywwfc as he finished and started last season but with different teams having missed the middle due to his PS3 packing up. I've decided to place him in the returnee places as although he was top when he left, he finished seventh with Spartak.  The bottom two from D2 last year will have a special draw for the two five star sides. The two worst sides will be saved from the draw until the final four's drawing.  The current tentative draw listing is in the spoiler tab.  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler  1 MVP RULZ 2 El Espanacas 3 Louch 4 rohpete 5 TUFCfan 6 stunstone 7 El Nicko Loco 8 blackcountrywwfc 9 RobJ 87 10 C/WMARK Please! 11 Fox Piss 12 rockbus 13 carmellaisagoddess 14 Carbs 15 TNA Inception 16 bcwdarkside 17 The Jon 18 vanhalen2007 19 TezzRexx 20 Tildeguy~! 21 scottingham18 22 wmxxx   [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFCfan Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Any news on what the teams are we are drawing from  There's one more team than needed so as to keep people guessing at the end. As there are a small number of returning teams from last time, if anybody gets drawn the same side as last season I'll re-draw their team so that they don't get bored with having the same team again.   Atletico Madrid Bayer Leverkusen Benfica Borussia Dortmund CSKA Moscow** FC Porto Fiorentina Juventus Lazio Lille Liverpool* Lyon Malaga Marseille Napoli PSG Roma Sevilla Sporting** Tottenham* Valencia Villarreal Zenit  * Teams for the bottom two from D2. ** Will enter the draw once we reach the final four draw at the end.

Considering its a new game and there's a new defensive system shouldn't the seeded basis be thrown out the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockbus Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm slightly concerned I'm somehow seeded higher than carmellisagodess, considering his claims of a 16-0-0 record online, when I, well, erm. Don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP RULZ Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Unfortunately It looks like I may have to pull out, Which is a shame as I enjoyed last season despite finishing last and was gonna have a decent team this year by the looks of it. Â I just don't think I'm gonna get the game in time to participate, having just become a dad and partner still on Maternity leave money is tighter then I anticipated this month and couldn't justify paying out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
