I'd change that to "stay back" so the fella will never go up for corners. If you're losing with 5 mins to go, you can always change it back to default of course. Hope that helps.

It has absolutely nothing to do with English not being anyones first language or that someone can't master MSN speak. If text speak and MSN speak is the future of English, than you might as well start learning any other language as your first. Because proper or standard English will soon be extinct. People should grow up and use real English. That would actually mean that all the people who are visiting these forums and don't have English as their first language have a fair chance of following the discussion. I believe this is why this rule was installed in the first place. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ( please distribute these in the text, so that it appears correct) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostb Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 yeah...it's a bug..happens to me almost every game...it happens usually in the second half..and it happens when you want to change your tactics...it's simple to fix it...everytime you adjust something on your in-game tactics check the individual orders for your gk...these change(the bug thing) and that's why your gk goes up for corners or fks...just change them to default and i guarantee he'll stay put Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spagbol Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I blame the poor spelling and grammer on the forum on the lack of an 8.0.2 patch delivered on Feb 1st. Or Al-Qaeda... I don't know. I just don't know what to believe any more On a relevent note, make sure your GK is set to 'always stay back' at corners and you're mentality is not set t 'all out attack' as that's when your gk tends to go Rambo.

Ackter Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Firstly, here's the house rules for text speak on this forum: http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/27619697/m/6502087491 Secondly, here's a post that people could really do with reading: http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5211026...942034643#7942034643 As for the original poster's problem it's usually caused by the instructions given - sometimes when moving players around on the tactics screen you can end up with instructions that aren't appropriate for the position. In this case it seems like you've given your goalkeeper specific attacking instructions for corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
