Nick Toye Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have instructed my corner taker to play a corner short. I have a guy who is coming short, but he insists on just swinging it in. What gives? Is it bugged? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maooam Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 This is just a wild guess, but maybe this is connected with the time wasting slider? Maybe if you set the time wasting slider to maximum it would start playing short corners? Maybe you have time wasting on mimimum and the corner taker thinks you are in too much of a hurry to goof around with short corners? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is the reason why this is happening. hmm. sounds buggy if i want a short corner I do exactly what you think you'd do. Corner aim to short option. With one of my winger being a short option. Seems to do it. And even in Mixed Corner aim occasionally the corner taker will pass it short (but very occassionally if put on mixed). Maybe its the way you are watching the match. ie. Key highlights only. so perhaps you never see the short corner being used as they never amount to anything. Then again perhaps you aren't that stupid not to realize that already so i assume perhaps you are right might be a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Make sure the corner taker doesn't have high creative freedom, as he'll ignore and do what he think's best. Also make sure you select the short option from the team instructions set piece section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Toye Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well its a little difficult to prevent him from having high creative freedom. He's my AML. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well its a little difficult to prevent him from having high creative freedom. He's my AML. That's probably why he's doing differently as you've gave him license to ignore you. Does he have good flair and creativity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Toye Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Flair 14, Creativity 12. So if I reduce his CF slider, his natural abilities should counteract that? Or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Flair 14, Creativity 12.So if I reduce his CF slider, his natural abilities should counteract that? Or not? If you reduce his CF then he should stick to how you've instructed him to play more. Higher the CF he just play's how he sees fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Toye Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Ok, but he will still have creativity on the wing because of his Creativity at 12? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 He should do, what league you playing in? Plus what are his other isntruction's set to? Also isn't there anyone else better suited to take the corners? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passing style is short, CF normal, Mentality 1 over Normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Try watching bits of a full game aswell and not only highlight's, it could be that the game isn't showing the short corners, like what was suggested above by another poster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Toye Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah that's something that I'm going to do from now on, I generally just watch Key moments, but that's not going to help in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope as you won't know if its a problem or not, as the highlight's are just edited bits from the game. So because you see something often in highlight's doesn't mean that's generally the case for the full 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it takes ages to get through a full season and as it takes me a couple of hours to get through one match but I found that if I rushed through I'd make silly mistakes that would annoy me!

footynut Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 2 hours for one game? Is that from kick off? or from preparation? I suppose with preperation included it takes me just over two hours! I first write down all the opposition players and the key stats for their position. Then I'll work out from there how I want to handle each player with OI. Then after each 15 minutes of the game I'll write down the stats of the match and study them and make adjustments where necessary. Sometimes I do just want to fast forward and I know for most people it would drive them mad but that's how I enjoy it and I think helps provide better results.

Does Arsene Wenger have that kind of opportunities? What is your record? It has to be pretty high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assenuma Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It is not necessary to watch each game "full match". I watch extended highlights and follow closely the action zones and the team/ player stats. If all goes well it is not necessary to watch it all. I might watch full match if the game is going unexplicably badly, or the last 15-20 mins of a very important game which is still undecided by the 70th min.

Is it realistic? I've never really though about that but it doesn't bother me. You have to freeze the game to see what is going on. My record? Well I started out with Shrewsbury Town in League Two 1st season - reached the play offs but failed to get promotion 2nd season - gained promotion to League One by finishing runners-up 3rd season - gained promotion to the Championship via the play offs 4th season - relegated back to League One 5th season - gained promotion back to the Championship by finishing runners up Current 6th season - A number of clubs offered me a job and I decided on Sheffield United and have so far won 6 and lost 1 and currently 3rd in the table. In my last season with Shrewsbury Town I knocked out two Premiership teams (Liverpool and Sunderland) in the FA Cup. The first few seasons I played a lot faster and made mistakes but still done ok but now I play a lot slower and I prefer it that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Toye Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well I run a web design business from home, so I don't really have that much time to dedicate, well not as much as you good self. Wish I did have the time. Oh and I'm married so not really appreciated by the wife, although she did buy me the game. But I do concur, a slower approach is needed, but not that slow.

I was even replaying some of my earlier games of the season last night to see the difference in the adjustments I had made!
