Okay pal, whatever you say. I've played these games for 15 years, since "Kick Off" on the Atari ST. This is the best. You really think the guys who made this have monumentally screwed up? I think they know exactly what they're doing. My guess is this.

You tried the mouse. Maybe once, twice, at a puch 5 times... maybe even ten. I'm on my third season, so I'm in a good position to judge.

I don't want to be an ****, and make enemies on this site. I respect everyones choices and likes / dislikes. Hey - maybe i'm wrong. But i just can't believe people have given it a good enough try.

I truly truly apologise if i'm wrong. I'm pragmatic about the whole thing. I want to start and encourage debate, and who knows maybe turn one or two people on to the mouse. That's all.

I want to start a wee bit of a guide. I've copied and pasted most of this from other posts, so it's a little "bitty" (oooh bitty), and contrived, and a bit jumbled... but it should do the trick. Feedback and more tips from other users welcomed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Curling the ball is simple... point and shoot, then whip the mouse in the direction you want to curl...

so if you playing left to right

aim and shoot to the left (top) side of the goal, then after the shot, pull the mouse quickly downwards and it will curl towards the right (bottom).

It's basically an "after touch" movement with the mouse.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
also it's keys 1,2,3 and 4 for tactics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5 for setting your team up attacking / midfield or defending - when the yellow arrow points up, you'll be more attacking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
to do the defence - "FB" and all that - press "shift" then 1,2,3 and 4

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chip pass = double tap on the pass button (left mouse button)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Knocking the ball forward = when running fast with the space bar keep hitting the left alt button - this will push the ball forward.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you receiving the ball, if you hold the middle button down, and drag the mouse in the direction you want to go, this will knock the ball in that direction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"ctrl" plus mouse shoot button works for lob shot.
