alanricouk Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've tried countless formations, and instructions, yet a striker never scored. In fact the only times I ever see a goal is from set pieces, or long shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, Berbatov has scored 2 or 3 goals for me in the first 4 or 5 games and also Manucho has got a couple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Then you are lucky b00bs.Tell me your secrets! I have only used the default tactics so far. I am Man United and did lose 2-1 to Wigan mind but that was my only defeat. The best result was 3-0 against Chelsea. I have 5 strikers now - Berbatov and Manucho as I have said have both scored, Rooney hasn't yet but Tevez is out for 5 months so hasn't played and I only just signed Michael Owen. So my secret is - use the default tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Äktsjon Männ Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 My strikers have scored. What they generally can't do however is score from one-on-one's. Whenever they have to beat the keeper they become clueless. It seems it's not possible to beat a keeper one-on-one with a shot, the only times they have scored they have taken it round him (well somewhat, it looks more like a step sideways, but I assume that is what it tries to emulate).

Thats it as well. 1 on 1s. No one ever scores from one on ones. I currently play with one striker, and have had to give him a barrow to the AMC position. It brings him in to the game more, but wont score. Grr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackant Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, Beckford is on fire for my Leeds side in pre-season. When on a PC that actually runs 3D he's stretched for a poke-in, lept majestically for a long-range header, and rounded three players to score from a tight angle. Plus some bog-standard stuff, but these are the ones I've enjoyed watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshaan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Pre season only strikers scored for me...manucho 2 berbatov 3 tevez 2 and rooney 1...2 games into the season though and they cant score to save their life ...rooney did score in the community shield though...

saberhagen83 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah I've had goals from Adebayor and van Persie. But 99% of them are from way way out! Not to mention I've lost count how many 1-on-1 situations where the players just smashes the ball straight in the stomach of the keeper...can't seem to score from close range in this game.

opul Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 started with a standard 442, hardly any tactical changes and no matter if I played rooney, teves, berbatov or manucho... they all scored. also not have had any problems with one-on-ones and was surprised how many went in after reading the forum for a bit before playing my first few demo games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen83 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 also not have had any problems with one-on-ones and was surprised how many went in after reading the forum for a bit before playing my first few demo games I don't get it. My players (no matter who it is) doesn't even TRY and put it past the keeper, they just shoot straight at him no matter the angle. Sure I don't expect all to go in, but at least can't they miss the goal completely at the very least so I see them actually trying to beat the keeper?

opul Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 do you watch more than just the key highlights? Then again a striker running on goal and shooting should be a key highlight no matter what, so I would have to deal with all those missed chances as well. Maybe a lot of you just have a really bad run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
