Slaxi Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Apologies to non-native English speakers for use of the phrase "dilly-dallying". I have a good regen striker who does well but often times when he receives the ball in the box he holds onto it for too long and gets tackled or allows the defence to get into place to block, it's a bit frustrating but I don't know what I should do to get him taking more snap-shots. I know there's the PPM "tries first time shots", which i've already trained into him, but is there anything else that should help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He doesn't happen to have the PPM "Dwells on ball"? Or is set to 'Hold up the ball' as an instruction/player role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaxi Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 No, just "shoots first time" and "places shots" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 So not a target man or deep lying forward then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrizzitD Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Sounds like a low consistency rating... this is a hidden stat though so hard to know without an editor. But well it could be a combination of that and say low decision and a few more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tieio Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Low work rate too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

borobadger Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It's just a flaw in the match engine, happens all the time no matter who the player is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott MUFC Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 yes the "stand there and get tackled often" hidden PPM that all forward players have atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaxi Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Strange that I never noticed it in my other forwards, although now that I think about it I did throw a cushion at the screen and punch the wall because I got fed up of my defenders standing there doing nothing with the ball while an opposition player takes the ball and scores. Must be part of the same problem. Thanks all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 See, I've noticed a few players who are prone to this as well. What kind of player is he? If he's not very creative and technically lacking for your tactical game then it can cause problems. For example, I tend to notice it with defensive players who lack vision and passing ability and some mental attributes - basically it all comes together to cause them to panic on the ball and freeze up a bit. Does it happen with different players in the same position as him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
borobadger Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've seen it happen to all kinds of players, pretty sure its just a flaw in the ME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
