It's moot now since during the next transfer window I took a transfer to Olympique Lyon. I know about the player form, but isn't that tied to your player rating? I don't really understand that "Squad ranking" page, because even though my player form is "good" and around a green 6.6, I was ranked lower than a bunch of yellow 5.9ish players. Didn't really understand why. Also, there is a huge difference in play when, for whatever reason it is, your ranking is low. For the second half of my time with Sporting I was struggling to make passes and was getting docked for being "out of position" (even though there were now yellow arrows around me, and at the end of the game the "out of position" part of my player performance was 0) even though I continued to do the same things I'd done in the beginning of the season. I mean, the exact same pass I'd make to my center forward, which in the first half would almost always complete, was now being intercepted or going off at weird angles. I felt slower too, my running seemed slow and so did my sprinting. But once I transferred to OL, my passing is back to form and I feel I'm moving at my normal speeds. So strange.

I think they put you out to loan based on overall, because that's supposed to be closer to your actual skill level. So the team thinks, even though you're having a great three or four game span, you're still a level 70-something, so loaning you out will help you gain a higher level because competition on their squad may be too tough.

And what I meant by rankings is, it's somewhat tied into form, but not completely. Even though you may be having a run of 8.0's as a 72, you're not going to be placed above a vidic having a run of 6.9 at an ovr 84. However, your 8.0's might help you become a ovr 72(+3) which means you'll play as if you're a 75 while you're truly not.

And I think the way you're playing in a game, + form + happiness affects you on an game to game basis, so moving to another team would put you back at even and make your passing sharper. Plus, if you're having a good game, you're more accurate and vice-versa.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind as this season moves on.


Wish this stuff was more obvious in the game. Would save a lot of screaming at the screen. My neighbors must think I'm insane.

Haha sometimes the game can be frustrating, but so can real soccer. So that seems fair.

New question: standing tackles, how do these work exactly? Playing defense is probably one of the things I try hardest at and also have my least success. Here's what I end up doing:

Guy gets the ball in front of me or near me or whatever, and I get close to him and hold the left trigger to jockey. Once I'm up really close I start mashing the green A button. Sometimes I'll get a poke check in. Sometimes not. I rarely, if ever, use the blue X or red A buttons since I tend to miss those and that'll cause my player rating to drop by .3 or .4 points.

A lot of times when running at a player during a 50/50 ball, my guy will kinda skirt around my target or stop running even though I didn't stop pushing the L-stick. Sometimes I'll intercept the pass. Sometimes I won't stick my leg out.

This all seems really random to me. I'll have a great defensive game one game, and then, doing the same things, have a poor game. Is this all based on stats? Am I mashing the wrong buttons? Should I stop mashing and only hit the button once at the correct time?

I don't understand what you mean.

ON team rosters in the main menu area, you can edit rosters. Take him off your the team before starting a career. That should take care of problem.

I haven't done it yet, but...

Say the league is real easy, and you end up winning it by March (say season ends may)

will the cpu write in the news that you have won the league, or does that only happen after last game?
