ps3 Fifa 08 TRF Tornament

game of fifa tonight, GG? [/b]

Lol Craig answer your text haha! I am often in game when you send a mesasge though the PS3 and unable to message any other way except texts at halftime...would have been good though!



Just got beat 2 games to 1 by GG, I won the first 1-0 with an early goal and solid D to hold him out. The second game went to penalties after either of us couldn't crack one, he cheated lol, I didn't know about the moving around in the ingoal and lost my composure...

In the third game I did my hoary slide tackle in the in goal and gave away a penalty but miraculously saved it but he slid one in late in the game from a defensive lapse to take a 1-0 win.

He started pulling out the tricks, I was lol!.



I still got a lot of work to do to get better at this,


[/b]

Yeah it was like 367 minutes of game time had passed between my last goal against you and the one I scored in that 3rd game (not counting penalties)...your final defensive line is so hard to beat! Gee they were like some sort of wall playing zone defence....I just could not score!

Yeah pulling out tricks is a bit of a hardcase one....tricks on this game are so hard to make work.
 
when i played radman i did a couple of tricks for the first time. pulled one or two of them off, dunno if radman noticed though :)
 
I have sent my ps3 to my friends house for two weeks....so I won't be online to play anyone.

However just warning people that I have gotten a bit better...and now I am scoring and winning games quite regularly against some difficult opponents. My defence has also improved a bit.

It is not the best defence but it is a whole lot better when people get near the box.

I am still not sure how to get my ranking up....do we have to play "ranked matches"????

Anyway after I get machine back after the two weeks I think we should all play again:)
 
I havnt played anything on my playstation for a couple of weeks.

well in the weekend i downloaded destruction derby and played drinking games with that but thats about it.

Havnt played any fifa at all, though i did play it on the wii a couple of weeks ago and that sucked. Last time i was playing i got a few tips from someone, will need some practice to get back into it, or wait for a new game to come out :)
 
is anyone interested in a Euro 2008 league?
My psn is footyking10. If anyones interested just send me a message, add me w/e and i'll set it up.

Cheers

Tom
 
Now that someone else has it I might consider buying it. Can I add you to my psn for now anyhow? What other games do you have, or is it just Euro 2008 for now?

Tips??? Ok well I have a few that might help.



When you make a break down the sideline don't do an aerial cross if you have time.....instead start heading into the box towards the goal as much as you can before the cover gets to you.....then do a simple ground pass (x button) to your strikers that are waiting...and make the one touch shot into the net.....very easy and almost sure goal. You can also do triple tap cross (square button) which is the same ground pass but harder to intercept for the opposition. Anyway this way is easier to score than just doing a standard cross.

Shoot with the L2 held down for better accuracy...even you you press it at the last second it is still more accurate than not using it as the shot will RARELY go wide.

Always shoot for the closest post rather than the far one (a bit unusual but nevermined it works)..

Try and get in line as close as you can with the striker before sending a through ball if you want less of an intercept. Through balls that are too diagonally get intercepted more. This also applies with high through balls if you want a better success percentage.

Don't "press" when defending against the fast people who try and run around you and cross it in (Christiano Ronaldo, etc) as the "press" always makes you go at the player rather than the line the player is trying to take....therefore you will get left in the dust. Rather just run at the line where your opponent is heading and meet him at the crosspaths where you can run in front of him and disposess him of the ball. You can even slide tackle him at the crosspaths quite confidently without a penalty.

On defence control a player and look for the intercept by standing in possible pass lines while sending in another player (o button) to put pressure on the ball carrier to make him pass. If they get the pass away then quickle switch to holding the press button "x" so that you will be right on the reciever to perhaps get a disposess when they recieve the ball. If you don't get the ball then switch away to another player further out to control whilst holding the "o" button and repeat the procedure all over again.

If a goalie charges then don't shoot but run to the sides away from the goalie....when you have escaped simply push the shoot button as a goalie takes FOREVER to get back into position when they have charged. The charge is a one chance high risk move and if there is no save then the goalie is left totally vulnerable and exposed.

The fake shot is the BEST of all the tricks to do as it ALWAYS responds instantly when you activate it (unlike all the others). Just remember you can only do it in the other half of the field.

One touch passing is paramount when attacking around the box. If you trap the ball to think about something you often get disposessed straight away. So just do one touch passing a few times until someone is totally clear...then shoot. If you hold L1 when you are doing all these one touch passing movements in the box with your strikers you will be STUNNED and what will happen.



Anyway woosaah....keep practicing and good luck.

I don't have Euro 2008 I meant do a euro 08 tourny on fifa if that makes sense?
 
Ok if you add me on PSN (mine is footyking10) i'll take Czech Republic!
If anyone else is interested i'll just post the league info on here. How many do you think would be interested GG?

Actually i'll start a dedicated thread to post results and organize fixtures for the tourny.
 
Can I have the Netherlands (bogus squad and all)? Scratch that. Can I have Engerland?
 
3 days ago I won a game 19-18

1-1 after extra time.

17 penalty goals to him...18 to me!

It seemed like the penalty shot was going forever...and I really rate myself in goal when it comes to penalty shootouts (I rarely lose with these) but it seemed to be almost impossible trying to figure out which way he was gonna kick......I am always confident with my penalties and have NOT missed one for ages.

Finally I get one in....gee but talk about going for ages!
 
Radman and I played best of three games last night on 08. Good to play him again online.

First game was 2-0 to me. I did this fluke little step to score my second goal....Rad thought it was a skillful turn...but really I was lucky and the replay made me look good.

Second game Rad scored and then proceeded to defend to the death...I could not get the equaliser.

So it came down to the last game...winner take all. I can honestly not remember what the score was because I was concentrating so hard. I did win but I think Rad missed a sitter...you gotta take those chances.

Radmans defence was quite calm and rock solid all game and it was hard trying to break him down....I must have made a million passes trying to get through.

We might play again sometime....I do not know why but I like 08 more than I do 09. Well actually I do know why.
