PS3?

Would be an honour to hand you your first loss :cool:

PSN - KoRnage1

Add me.



Care to elaborate?

Reckon it's spot on to be honest. I can tell 90% of the time with a tackle if it will result in 'holding the ball' or a ball up, depending on how long the player has held the ball (much like in real life...well, most times). If it's a push in the back or a high tackle, then the sprint button was being held by the tackler, which can lead to a free kick. This is obviously to counter the fact that it's easier to catch up to your opponent and tackle them while sprinting.

Pretty cut and dry if you ask me.

The only random call for free kicks is when the AI tackles, and that's how it should be. Sometimes the AI holds sprint while tackling and thus gives away a free kick, sometimes they don't. Just like human players.


They hardly get caught for holding the ball even after breaking a tackle or two, I get the ball and get tackled no time to get the ball away - holding the ball. I understand the holding sprint results in sometimes giving free kicks - but they must have to do it a lot as well to catch up to me? Where is my push in the back. It's not a major issue but its frustrating a lot of the time. Wish you could turn them off at times.

I even sometimes let them hold it for a while before tackling.

Re: Bumping - it works well but sometimes when I flick the stick, it doesn't register so they just keep running.


I reckon the deliberate out of bounds are pretty spot on though so I'm happy with that, just with the holding the ball I guess and sometimes with push in the back, I see them jumping into my back a lot.

Can't really help with the rest but for the bold part - Try holding the right stick (toward your opponent) instead of flicking it. I had the same problem as you at first but now that I hold the stick for a second or 2, it works 9 times out of 10 for me.

Sounds good. Can't play for too long tonight though, I have a massive two weeks of work starting early tomorrow....Goodbye 5th rank on the leader board :(
I see a 5th spot for the taking now.:)

you can use your sprint and when your up to them press tackle but remove your finger from sprint. do this and you shouldn't get frees against you
 
cheers illnino, will try that. Maybe I am flicking it too early or something.

Will also try letting go of sprint a bit more, have tried it a few times. I think I am just mainly frustrated at the holding the ball when they take me on and get caught after breaking the first tackle. Anyway, just slightly frustrating nothing too serious.
 
Had my match against Antony.

I led the whole game until the last quarter. He won by 5 pts.

He did have 10 more scoring shots than me though :eek:

He's a Carlton supporter.... you wouldn't expect him to kick straight would you?

In any case, if the umps had heard what he was saying to the screen then you would have got a free kick 15 metres out directly in front and won by 2 points :)
 
I wish I could join HBK and co in the top ranks, but dont get as much time to play the game, I win most games I play (apart from the quitters) Im ranked about 680th. Unfortunately the leaderboards are based on xp gained and not as much skill. So the more you play the game the higher up the leaderboards you go. So its not a very accurate indication for whos the best player. I beat 42nd rank last night easily, who was big ant employee. (ps maybe he went easy on me??) Anyway I want to test my ability against you top ranked pro's, so id be happy to recieve an invite!
psn: baz2005 :)

Not like I didn't have my chances though...A few uncharacteristic mistakes - Couldn't handle the big game atmosphere :p

Definitely need a rematch though and I think it's happening tomorrow :thumbsu:

So did I get the closest to beating him so far? :eek:

Edit: Just flogged a guy called "Antherny" before he quit....close enough ;)

Third time ive posted this but so amped. Just beat antonyatbigant by 4

Yeah he said it was a good game.. up by 30 points then you came back and finished it with a 50m bomb on the siren - I assume that was the game?
 
Just added Antony and you Ross if ether of you are up for it

I'm sure he'll give you a game after training tomorrow - 8.15 or so?
 
Damn your catching up - 12th now :eek:

We might have to another match tonight sometime...Normally a good contest.
Top 10 only a matter of time away!;) Definitely up for another match.:thumbsu:
 
Why haven't you been on lately Ross?

Been a little busy, been OS for quite a while too...

I'll be back online more when the patch is live. In any case I make sure I'm on here enough :)
