Soccer Manager Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before (I did a brief search and found nothing), but does anyone else think it's too easy for players to dribble down the flanks? Seemingly any player can dribble the ball across the entire the pitch and cross the ball - and it happens over and over again. I don't believe it's this easy in real-life - players actually attempt to defend this. Players in this game seemingly would rather keep the player company by shadowing them down the line, instead of actually attempting to get the ball.

Aytumious Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Its definitely an issue. Winger player is pretty terrible in general, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batiroy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 agree..and the pace of those players dribble down the flanks is unmatchable...no matter he's Toni or Messi! the defenders just can't/don't stop them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PW Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think SI are aware its an issue when watching the game in 3D. Plus all your defenders run backwards half the time and don't seem to have mastered that by running forwards its quicker!!! Guess its just one of them 'tweaks' that hopefully over time the 3D match engine will get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glamdring Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I couldn't get my wingers to work at all in FM08 so this would be a pleasant change, although not if it only happens for my opponents! Mind you, my FM08 wingers could dribble, they just always dwelled on the ball too long afterwards and almost never beat the first man with a cross at the end of it all.

Yea, sounds like anyone can dribble down the flank and cross the ball unstoppable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eagle Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I totally agree about this. It needs to be tweaked with the next patch, if any of it coming. Although the crosses are stopped fair amount, my DR and DL can dribble all the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesarius Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Im using "run with ball often" on my DR and DL , and they provide 50% of my chances to score, so they always end the game with rating 7+ and of course, I use to sell them after every season for big money then I replace them and start again. Dribble stat has nothing to do with it, but pace and aceleration do. I always pick a fast full-back with decent tackling and voila! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
