liverpool, new team for cheats!?

[sp4c1n420]

I lalalaING LIVERPOOL NOW! Nothing but a bunch of torres lalala suckin fanboys. All they do is long through balls ran to torres and lalalaing babel. Long through balls are the only tactic ever used on this game. This game is such a cheap piece of lalala. Learn how to make a real footie game EA. Theres no buildup play at all, 2 or 3 passes and your in front of the damn goal. Of course one of those passes is a 50 yard through ball because theres no midfield play in this game.

Torres and other fast strikers ARE fast, but the defenders are too slow in the game...

It's not that the defenders are too slow. It's just that EA made 09 a terrible footie game.

[HMaFiA]

wow guys stop crying about torres, using liverpool for speed is like using a spear in a gun fight. liverpool only have 3 players at most who can be considered fast, torres/babel/gerrard, every1 else is just average and even out of these 3 only torres is up there. There are teams that have over 50% of there team faster than babel/gerrard.

If u cant stop torres maybe u should try a lower defensive line and trying to block the passes, seriously most of the complainers just dont know how to defend and just hold A and B and think that thats enough to stop an attack.

Most players can attack but only like 50% of the players are decent defenders.

torres is too fast? c.RONALDO is tooooooooooooooooo fast its unrealistic.

[LFCFOLIFE]

this is why i'm not a huge fan of online anymore, im sick of all the abusers in online play. i only play with people on my friends list.

[vizareal]

the problem with speed is that it is very unrealistic. I have found myself to place the fastest, worst, defenders in my starting line up over players such as Terry. I mean c'mon, you r not going to tell me that in real life Torres is going to out sprint Terry to the ball when Terry is at least 10 meters closest to it. It is an absolute joke. Also the stats r way to inconsistent. One year Gekas is 93 speed the next he is 70 something. Thats like saying Bolt is running 2 seconds slower than last year for no reason. It needs to be fixed (cant they just look at 100m sprint recordings of each player)

calm down its just a game.

[Davo614]

I dont see how playing through-balls to Torres can be classed as cheating. Torres is a great player on the game, and you have to play to his strength which is mainly his pace, so you are bound to play balls through to him whenever you can.

Press left on the D-Pad and set to "Ultra-defensive", meaning the ball over the top wont be such a problem as usual. See if that helps.

[Sammy369]

who are people going to complain about next.....freaking kalou lol But seriously, there are ways to stop the likes of Torres, Eto'o and the Ronaldo. You just have to be intelligent with your defending for example defending deep against quicker opponents and player switching, don't rush into tackles and also make the striker come to you

[Stefanbafc]

It's true that Torres' speed is overrated, he has a lalalalalala acceleration, but his sprint speed shouldn't be that high, I won't forget how he knocked the ball past Clichy once, and then Clichy had to turn and backtrack the ball, and he managed to get to the ball BEFORE Torres, but still Torres has a higher sprint speed then he has on this game, so it's "midly" overrated if you want to call it that

any1 else playing against liverpool alot? ive noticed people r just picking teams wiv speed!. and r showing no true skill.

wot r your thoughs???

Is this the same leegibbo that on EAFootballWorld has used Liverpool for all his last 20 games?

Even worse if you are leegibbons who uses Man Utd all the time and enjoys beating cpu teams 8 or 9 nil!

You won most games against CPU but then lost online, what happened? Did he know how to defend against the through balls you complain about.

those are the premier league points on the dream team thing. torres as you can see if right near the bottom. with many less points than king for hull!

now, i think torres is a good player but look at his stats. many less goals than ronaldo - a right midfielder. surely he should be on a red arrow in ALS as hes been injured for a while now. he just isnt consistent imho

You idiot manchester united players are fast in real life; Ronaldo = 94 sprint speed, yeah its not overrated - agbonlahor has 96, Rooney = 86 sprint speed, he is not as fast as ronaldo but he is fast, tevez 85 he is fast aswell, nani, anderson and Evra all are fast, Berbatov has 77sprint speed....

Smooooooooochy fantasy football is not scientific fact! Torres has played far less than other players do to 3 injuries this season so even when he has been playing he has been coming back from an injury. While Ronaldo may be listed as a right midfielder that is not where he plays. He should be described as a support striker as that is where he plays, how often will you see him track back and defend as you would expect from a midfielder

erm, quite a lot actually.

its not scientific? well, ronaldo missed the first 6 weeks yet he has scored more goals, set up more goals too. i admit it doesnt take into account things like players' work rate - but lets face it - torres has had a nightmare year so far - why SHOULD he have amazing stats? remind me how well liverpool did again last year? as you say he's been injured a lot of the season - so he should be a red down arrow, just like scholes, hargreaves and 1/2 the united team lol

After his first year sure he hasn't started well this season but just because he hasn't played well doesn't make him any slower! The whole way that ALS has been implemented is poor, so much so that I have turned it off. People will always complain that they feel their favourite players should be rated higher. I think the reason so many Utd players have down arrows is beacuse they were rated highly in the first place and in the most part aren't playing as well as last year.

[Smoooooochy]

@ "Utd players have down arrows is beacuse they were rated highly in the first place and in the most part aren't playing as well as last year. " - you mean like torress this year?

i dont mind ALS - means i dont pick the same people all the time. ive given park a few games lately (i mainly play offline as i dont get much time to play ) but i agree it seems flawed with all the dodgy online antics. i dont mind someone pumping to striker via thru balls as i know how to defend them.

im more against losers like 'gunnerzforlife14' who kept trying to lag the game out then quits just before the final whistle. oh, and he started as man utd lol - didnt like it when i wanted to be man utd too - so i beat him england V spain.

I always use the same team when I play and I just can't understand how ALS works. I only play once a week and tend to go online as once you understand CPU AI it always tends to play the same! Always feel there is much more challenge from a real human at the other end of the line! Even when they beat me 7-1!

It is so satisying to beat someone that uses Man Utd or Barca especially when they are obviously a fan of another top team! I would have to gouge my eyes out with a blunt spoon, say goodbye to my morals and dignity and wouldn't be able to look any of my friends in the eye ever again if I chose to play as Man Utd. Maybe thats just me

using Torres is just as (if not more) deadly than using. . . errr. . . Ronaldo, the dude's a beast. i play "the POOL" in the majority of my games but find no need to complain, unlike numerous others do about another team that wears red from the North.

the point about the through balls is too true though, if you cut off Torres's supply & score first it's laughable how many people continue to play to him.

As a watcher of Premier League football for about 16 years, (Im 19 now) i dont think i have EVER heared Liverpool being described as "THE POOL."

*** u on about?

[vg88roland]

Through-balls ain't cheating, but the by the ease of which they are executed with assisted controls, well, that's just silly. 50-60 yards out, high assisted through-ball and, BANG! Goal! Once in a while is acceptable, but 2-5 times a match? Hmmmm...

Make through-balls more difficult to master, and the exploiters will disappear.

[ImperialGendarme]

I do think torres's speed is a little too quick, but EA needs to slow down Anelka!!!!!! He is Usain Bolt quick and strong, which is cleary not in real life

It is an old nickname that is rarely used but certainly one that I have heard of

Age is everything when it comes to nick-names. Liverpool used to be called The Pool, but that's rarely used this days. Reds are the order of the day these days.
