picked this up a couple of days ago.
excellent graphics, and real realistic in terms of gameplay, i think.

the problem however, is that maybe i just suck, but it seems really hard!!

all the matches either end up 4-0 for the computer, or go until the 70 minute with 0-0, and then they score.
i can rarely advance into their box, just because they tackle me so much.

anybody have any hints or strategies?

maybe i just need to practice some more, but i've been playing about 2 or 3 hours, and kind of, but not really, have gotten the hang of it

havent played 06, but do own world cup 06. i dont think theyre too different.

just like real soccer- make the ball do the work. dont give it to 1 player and expect them to run thru the defence. if you dont see an opening, pass it backwards. maintain possession until you see a weakness worth exploiting.

or, turn the difficulty down

yea, that sounds about right. after i posted this, i played a little more and was able to be a little more successful. still no goal, but a lot of fun.

and i can't find the difficulty level setting, so ionno bout that...

I don't know about the new Fifa game since I never played it, But lots of people seem to like the Winning Eleven Soccer series better then the Fifa series.

Fixed.

so yea, played again. and played a lot. i spent a lot of time in the practice mode, gettin hang of how hard to hit buttons and everything; tackling strategies etc.

then started up manager mode, and played some games. won 5, drawed one. i was pretty happy; i did change it to amateur level, but its still not as easy as fifa 99 or somethin.
once i get consistently amazing, i'll switch it to the next level up. and so on.

not that anybody probably cares though...

another question though, those challenges, do you have to actually activate them? because one of them is score a goal within 5 minutes, and i scored one in 4:07, and nothing happened.
