That's 99 goals in 2 seasons! Just not believable! I'm not moaning just interested to see if others have had the same results?

He's done very similar on my game in 2 seasons, despite the fact his finishing and composure aren't the greatest.

where is the 99 goals. Its 66 . is your monitor upside down?

Look at the bottom mate, 99 in all competitions!

Tevez is a dream on FM10, but he hasn't scored that many for me!

As I play him AMC (Trequartista). Hes brilliant there.

17 goals and about 10 assists for me, nothing great. Play him as strike partner to adebayor with him getting 46 in all comps I think

what's his pa? thanks

remember spoiler tag

how do you find out their PA

using an editor

58 goal season.......

Yes but I think's it more down to strikers being much too good in FM. Even so his finishing and composure are especially too high for a player with his finishing ability. Or rather, lack of.

He shouldn't be as good as he is and he shouldn't score as many goals as he does on this FM, but, Wayne Rooney doesn't score too many goals IRL (most he has ever scored in the league in one season is 16) but nobody says anything when he scores 30+ goals each season on FM.

yeh he is a bit over the top.

I think his dribbling could be reduced by 1 or 2, along with his off the ball movement, possibly one off flair.

His finishing needs to be 9

He is pi55 poor at finishing.

i said to the united researcher hes overrated last season

tevez is about as competent infront of goal as alexander hleb

my first season in charge of liverpool and noticed he's on 15 goals in 16 games. looks a beast, going to try and prize him away from city if they dont do well this year (there 7th).

I changed some of his stats in the editor to make him more realistic

He just scored a double hattrick against me in the league cup... Faaaaar too good...

yes, i do think so. at least his finishing and composure.

I was amazed by him, i was going to sell him in my first season.. 99 golas later tells me not to!

That's impressive mate... What instructions did you use for him and who did you play him with mostly (Adebayor I assume?) and with what instructions did he play with?

I used him as a complete forward with Adebayor as a target, seems abit obvious but worked a treat. I play attacking football, using mostly the flanks with Modric and Robinho both attacking wingers floating the ball into the box, I would have thought this would mean more goals for Adebayor!! Tevez has got 12 in 8 games already this season!!

Maybe he isn't too good. Rafael just don't know how to play him correctly!

I don't think he's too good, perhaps a tiny bit overrated. But I've seen people getting 35+ goals out of Berbatov and 40+ McDonalds (in the SPL).

I think the problem is that players, especially defenders, in FM10 doesn't know how to tackle. The strikers are only getting this many goals because there is something strange about tackling in FM10 ME I believe...

I'm no expert but perhaps it could be because the tactics created by the Tactics Wizard are "too good" when facing the pre-set AI tactics?

I'm thinking about training Tevez to a winger because I'll rather have Adebayor and Dzeko playing as the lone striker due to their heading ability and a better passer as the AMC. Anyone know how long it'll take? He has great work rate etc. but how about his hidden attributes like versatility and the others that affect how he'll do with positional training? I'd really appreciate a quick answer if anyone knows, as I don't use any editors or things like that!

Already got a reply from elsewhere, so never mind

Misconception. Rooney doesn't score that many in real life due to the way that Alex Ferguson plays him. He wants Rooney to drop deep and collect balls from midfield because his passing and vision are brilliant, and you'll notice since his move from Everton he has improved massively and become much more versatile, working brilliantly in the de facto striker system Ferguson has set up. If Ferguson played him as a natural striker with a support striker, he would get top scorer in the league easily.

I actually have the second that. Rooney has always and will always have a keen eye for goal and be able to score as freely as the best in the world if he was given an out and out Striker position, but due to the way United play he hasn't been given that freedom until maybe this season and look at how well he is doing when the team are playing below par.

Where-as Tevez has never been great in-front of goal. I think his composure is fine as he is generally (from what I've seen of him) quite calm under pressure but his finishing ability is awful.

Tevez was unstoppable last season for me. He scored 33 goals in 39 appearances. Yet he was left out of the argentina world cup squad.

This season his average rating is about 6.5 and he has scored 19 in 40 appearances yet made the "world player of the years" shortlist.

I can't figure it out. I haven't changed anything either.

He is definitely overrated. I played Man City with Liverpool last night, twice in a row. First game he scores 2 goals but i win 3-2. Second game he scores 4 goals and i lose 4-2. He just walks straight trough my defense with nobody tackling him. Its so weird. He is too good. Torres is better than him, but in this game doesnt score as much yet.

Tevez's stats are far too high on the game. Do a comparison between him and rooney and its ridiculous. There is no way tevez is THAT much a better player stats wise than rooney. They are of similar build and size. Also how is tevez 20 for bravery and rooney only 15???? How many people would seriously pick tevez over rooney in their team? Im not tevez bashing here, think he's a good player but not that good.Hopefully SI will downgrade tevez abit in the next patch. Like last year, some players seem to get through to the release game with crazy stats (srna and miguel veloso spring to mind from last year), or even raise rooney's stats abit.

hmmm...rooney bagged 38 LEAGUE GOALS in 1 season on my save...my striker had scored 33 and i was amazed he never won top scorer

i think the problem is the strikers goal ratios are way too high in this game

when i can make gabby agbonlahor and nathan delfouneso score 30+ from under 40 games then you know there is a major problem!

Hi, im currently playing patch 10.2

need help with Tevez. can some one tell me what instructions i should have for him, cant get him to score

Also what type of forward should i have him as

Try him as a target man or deep lying forward messi2009?

Stick him as deep lying forward and on attack gets a fair few. Just quickly re-read the theard and everyone is slagging his goalscoring record but now he has 12 goals in 22 games, not great but not as bad as most are making out. Alot of players in fm tend to get overrated, in each installment there seems to be ONE player who is just god and Tevez seems it this year.

38(+6 as sub) appearances. 29 goals & 8 assists in real life.

id say he wasnt overrated in the game after all! lol

What a random bump. This thread was from the days of patch 10.1/2, where strikers scored far too much anyway.

u should have asked "is he too god?"

Well my Rooney for Utd only in second season still at least 9 games left in the season has 36 in all comps this season but last year Rooney got 64 goals in all comps so added together already that is ..... 100 goals

I must say it is not very realistic of the game like people have season i dont see anyone hitting near 100 in two season let alone i expect Rooney to now go through the 100 mark.

The game isn't realistic, you're right, real life doesn't have a corner bug.

hmmm...rooney bagged 38 LEAGUE GOALS in 1 season on my save...my striker had scored 33 and i was amazed he never won top scorer

i think the problem is the strikers goal ratios are way too high in this game

But... Andy Cole got 34 in one season, so surely it's possible...?

I think if any striker has a terrific season and avoids any long term injury, it could be possible. If anyone could do that I'd imagine it would be Drogba, Rooney or Tevez.

People,

What am I doing wrong with Carlos Tevez? I play him alongside Adebayor as a poacher and he only scored three goals for me in thirty odd appearances in my first season.

Adebayor on the other hand finished as runner up in the golden boot (19 goals) behind Fernando Torres (20 goals).

He gets loads of chances but he shoots straight at the keeper or baloons shots wide. Should I have a word with him via manager interaction methods and insist he places shots? Will that help?

He shouldn't be that bad surely?!?!?

Placing shots should help. I have had him before and he's been brilliant, and other times he just doesn't perform, yet I play him in the exact same way. I guess sometimes it just depends...

when he's confident, his attributes aren't overrated. i think the x factor is the hidden attribute of consistency. it should be low, around 8-9 (i haven't checked)

Impressive but I have seen better. Without using the corner cheat I had a striker in FM08 who scored 70+ goals in all competitions in one season.

any experience with this in the long term? im manchester city and playing one up front usually with 3 behind the striker, dont want to hamper tevez's ability. i know he is excellent up front. but would really like to use him wide left attacking, the balloon is yellow in colour. please share your experiences with him out wide. cheers

i think he could do a decent job cutting in from the wide left position, due to his fantastic stats he probably can play reasonably well at any position. but Robinho easily OWN this role.

I've played him at the AML position and he's put in some good performances; he's lethal when cutting inside. Plus it only takes him 2-3 months to learn the positon

Its probably due to the match engine more than anything else, since top class defenders tends to stand there and watch players with pace lower than 13,14 waltz past them
