Anyone else find that keeper are beating from close range at their near posts a lot?

Just a discussion here, no complaining about the game, just a question, with a poll.

Do you feel, in your 9.3, that keeper are beaten from close range too easily?

No they aren't. I can safely say that keepers save most shots from difficult angles. There is the occasional exception, but they happen IRL (Robben at the Euro Cup anyone?)

(Robben at the Euro Cup anyone?)

no thank you

No, not that i've noticed........

No! So far (1 full season) I don't find that type of goal to occurr at an unusually high frequency.

I have noticed it but it's no major, it's just individual brilliance from Goran Pandev or Fernando Torres for me.

Might be adjusted to the level you play at, which if so, is good thinking on SI's part.

Just playing in BSP here.

I have noticed a small increase in this but could be down to my left sided defenders not doing as they are told but when a player walks the ball in from the wing and the keeper stands in the middle of the goal,then you have to question it.

I would be quite happy to see my strikers scoring from ANY angle

I know what you mean

Give her stick!!!!!

Lee Hughes yesterday...

3 yards from goal, on the edge of the goal kick area, gets it past the supposedly God Like Leeds keeper!

Hughsey!

I've noticed that players make the run at the post far more often with 9.3, but it only rarely leads to a goal. I'd say 20% of the time, max, which sounds low considering its usually a 1v1 situation. Still, if it was any higher I'd be seeing plenty of 5-3 games and the like!

I see it a LOT when my players dribble in along the bye-line from the wing (especially Javier Zanetti) and then advance to the near post. The keeper runs away to the centre of his goal-line giving my player an easy chance.

A related note is that it's FAR too easy for players to dribble in along the bye-line.

Odd...in my games the goalie usually cuts off the shooting angle, leaving him vulnerable to a pass across the goal mouth.

I often see this. I just blamed my poor goalkeeper (being in BSP, I thought this was a logical explanation, so I never considered it a problem with the game). To make matters worse, the opposition's sub came on and scored a goal almost identical to "that" Ronaldinho free kick against David Seaman in the World Cup. But this BSP guy scored it from open play. Bad times

you have to mark them and pull your full backs back, then it wont happen that much
