The cheating thing was a joke wankers.
I seem to be able to control the ball fairly well but it always seems like I get knocked off the ball before I can get a halfway decent shot off. I squander most of my breakaways with shitty shots. So, I end up taking shots from the 18 (before I have a chance to fuck it up/get knocked off the ball)..and those shots aren't all the high percentage.
But the thing thats uber frustrating is the defense. It always seems like my back line is doing everything they can to allow someone behind them. Is there a setting I can change to have them not suck so much dick? AFAIK its not even something I control. It AI up until they get the throughball through my defense thats just standing there with their thumbs up their asses. It also seems like the offense always out dribbles my defense. I can NEVER out dribble the defense. What buttons do I need to push in order to Pele the shit out of those niggardly backs?
For the record I am playing on PS3.
