Running through treacle.

It might just be a kink in the 3D engine (which doesn't stop it being very frustrating) but has anyone else noticed players seeming to stop running and jog on the spot.

They could be two yards ahead of their opponent chasing the ball, but will S.L.O.W. right down just before getting to the ball only for the other player to get there first. Or two players coming in at angles for the same ball, looks like one clear winner all the way, only for your guy to slow up and give them opposition a free crack.

I've conceded penalties from situations where my lad should have got there clear to knock it back to the 'keeper or out for a throw, only to stop, get overtaken and then slide in to win the ball back.

Makes it very tough to jusdge what is going on when the positioning seems spot on until they lose the ball by stopping still.

Yes, this happens all the time.

It's particularly annoying when a keeper parries a shot in front of his goal and you think you've got a player running onto the loose ball for a 1 yard tap-in and he just...stops.

Or a defender who does the same to allow another player their tap-in against you!

its because the game\3d match runs of a script\text, not the text run off the 3d match????

i had a ball played to my keeper, he ran out stood at the ball jogging on the spot and the forward ran up and tapped it in. I was raging at the time and subbed my goalie. I have to laugh about it now though
