Whenever you get the ball just shoot, its easier to score from 30 metres than 2!

Long shots are a bit easy, score and concede some crackers!

Nearly all goals are from outside the box
 
 
lol good. on 07 only way to score is to rebound off keeper, or chip.

ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

I scored from 3 metres inside the halfway line in my 3rd match of 09.

It was Barbarouses!

All you need to do it hold L1, power up, aim and hope..

This is ps2 btw

Does the commentator actually say the a-league players names this timenot just the big international stars
I have heard Thompson and Alosi.


Thats why in 08 i created a player,put him in the nix,sold him for 35 mill,did upgrades and then spent some money on Tim Cahill and Fransisco Lima

PIcked up the Wii version today, trading in PES 2008 for it. I definitely like how EA nicked the controls from PES 2008. There are somethings that aren't as well done, like control of other players, but on the whole it's a better game. Definitely like the way the Wii remote allows for a lot of freedom in controlling the game. Footii is pretty cute too. The graphics aren't as hot as the PS3, obviously, but the control is a lot better. Not a a bad purchase for $46 after trades.

Should the formation for the All Whites be 442 but with the midfield in a diamond shape with Elliot at CDM Brown at RM, Bertos at LM and James at CAM?

Also heard of Tiatto I think thats it anyone heard anyone else?

Have heard Tiatto, Thompson, Aloisi so far.  Am playing Be A Pro: Seasons as Costa B on PC - the mouse/keyboard controls are pretty good, for passing/shooting anyway.  Tricks seem clunky (press trick button, move mouse in trick pattern) and the trapping/guarding are lctrl & lalt which can be troublesome given the WASD movement.

Turned the graphics right up and it looks hot, the players especially look much better than the 08 PC version (which was a port from PS2! >.<) - can recognise most of the phoenix players though Smeltzie has black hair.

Downsides:
 - Commentary is largely the same as last year "This defense really are like scrooge, misely" - I thought I was done with that comment...
 - Manager mode is largely unchanged, everything is the same they just changed the interface look a little.
 - Be A Pro: Seasons is the most fun part so far, though I am annoyed that I can't see the league table from this mode... it makes me control the substitutions and formations but doesn't let me see my team's form on the table?  V annoying cos I was set to try and basically play manager mode but just control one player, it doesn't work that way.

Oh I found it ridiculously easy to score on Semi Pro - 4 goal bag in my second game as Costa.  Set difficulty up one notch and got smashed 5-0, for some reason it made the phoenix defense totally useless.

New control system, upgraded graphics (at last!) and be a pro season mode are worth the price... esp since its $20 cheaper on PC.

Hired it and tried a season with Arsenal. Tried to get my mits on Xabi Alonso, Casillas and Ramos. I offered the maximum amount the game would let me and way too much weekly salary and I still couldn't get them. Much like real life!!! (I would do a season with Phoenix but until a 1 star team doesn't feel like your using rugby players i'm sticking with the quality stuff)

Anyone up for an online match?

I'm sick of either gong 1 goal ahead and then being quit on or going goals behind and getting smashed.

had my best game on xbox live so far last night, played as the phoenix vs a guy who went inter milan. phoenix took the 2 nil victory after daniel and leo goals. got a few abusive messages after the match from the guy obviously not happy at being beaten by a 1 star team with a 5 star team.

anyone else on live sick of playing man united? i play them 4 out of 5 times they always get chosen.

my GT is diesel fontaine if anyone is up for some friendly games.

good effort.  i hate those people who are ALWAYS man united.  Obviously absolute sh*te at the game and so have to be the best team to even have a chance.  i just quit the session when they select man u. i'm sick of playing them.

yeah it's a pain eh. i quit out most of the time too. most people who choose them are no good they just sprint towards the goal the whole time. i reckon playing slow is the best way online.

i've noticed that when playing with man u they give it to ronaldo hold down L2 on ps3 and then when they get to the byline cut it back with X and usully get a shot in. very frustrating.

do you enjoy be a pro better than the normal game? i have been playing it online it is cool but if some of the other players do not pass the ball it takes away from the game and sometimes you hardly touch the ball as players seem to think they are the only one on the team.

yeah i have relised that when playing offline but some games online there are 9 other people on your team so you have to be only the one player for the whole game.
