Who was complaining about the first touch function?
It's much better this time round.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ended up in hmv as asda has sold out, and sainsurys was closing soon
Still only 39.99 and whats a tenner over a year.
Now if I can only get the missus to fall asleep

Anyone else finding that Hernandez is fecking brilliant on this game considering his overall stat is so low?
Class as a late sub for Berba. Makes great runs and quick as hell.
Can't believe online clubs is completely fecked. Absolute rip off.
What's happened?
if he is an idiot. no way they are going to take it back and give you a new game. What are you gonna say though?
I hear "Argentina" chants at Old Trafford. This irks me.
My copy should be here tomorrow but I wont be able to play it till Tuesday evening 
I got it home, opened it up and it was scratched. Should work, right?
I didn't play FIFA 10, but I'll take your advice and try this myself
Ah, well that sounds more promising then.Cheers
I noticed that United had sold Berba to Milan on my player career, and it turned out that Chicharito was topping the scoring charts in the Premier League!
Ah I see, I'm on the PC and did not know it was exclusive to this version, sorry.
Yes, "we are the famous CFC" gets frequent outings at Old Trafford aswell...gay. Also, what's with the weird subsitution loading thing where it shows four of the opposing team husling up as if they're preparing for an American football play, while the crowd slowly disappears into some sound vortex?
I swear certain parts of this game are worked on by people who've never watched a football game in their life.
On the plus side, just played Chelsea in the Charity Shield. Essien cut inside Fletcher, and played a ridiculous through bal in behind my fullback...it looked exactly like that one he actually did play in the Charity Shield, which just made it seem really cool.
To be honest, one of the best parts of the game is that you can't just batter sides home and away. Also, home and away form actually differs. I find it quite hard to win away, and I haven't scored more than 2 goals in 90% of the games. Legendary is an actual challenge.
Buy Messi. Problem solved.
What formations do you use with United? I think I'm just shite at this, struggle to score on World Class mode in a lot of games, never mind Legendary. Tried several different things but the default 4-4-2 seems better than anything I try.
Havent played as United a lot yet as I've mostly been working on my virtual pro career. He's played for Watford and now Barcelona. But, 4-4-2 should suit United down to the ground with Fletcher a tackling machine and Scholes' passing. Valencia also has a high crossing stat so Rooney and Berbatov should get on the end of plays. Also make sure to bring Hernandez off the bench after an hour or so when the opposition are tiring. He's rapid and can finish well.
Not playing with the best teams always? Use manual? Play in legendary mode?
Yea, I've noticed this. In previous FIFAs you would forget you were playing home or away, whilst you just crushed everyone in sight.
Definitely struggle away from home now. Teams attack you with far more ambition and put you under alot of pressure. I've been knicking my aways 1-0, and usually finish the games playing defensive or sometimes ultra defensive.
The default 4-4-2 is hard to beat. Works well, though I wish Rafael would attack more down the right. Might have to change that, as I think the default formation has the right back playing as an O'Shea type full-back, defensively solid rather than marauding.
Legendary mode is a challenge. I struggle to even create a chance and usually lose games by the odd goal.
World Class mode I'm finding ok at the moment, though I seem to be able to keep scoring the same goal over and over where I just play a one two between the two forwards and run across the centre back...pretty much exactly how I used to always score on Fifa10. It doesn't work on Legendary mode though.

I play on World Class as well, for the time being anyway. I'll bump it up soon I reckon.
I seem to be scoring alot from crosses. No doubt the crossing has been improved. You seem to be able to get alot of pace on the ball, and the forwards make decent realistic runs for the crosser. But I am scoring alot from them.
Might be because I'm using United though, and regularly find myself crossing with Valencia, Nani, Rooney or Fletcher, all of whom seem to put in a mean ball. Be interesting to see if I have more success on legendary.
Any tips on crossing then? Are you on semi, auto or manual?
I'm just using the default settings, whatever they are.
You still have to power and direct it. I think the key is getting your crosser a bit of space in the first place. I use the right analogue stick for that, to knock it into a bit of space.
Use crossing on manual. It's probably the easiest of the manual settings, and with a bit of time and space you can hand a chance to your strikers on a plate.
I actually suggest putting everything on manual. Far more of a challenge, but not as frustrating as previous games. (Saying that, I put shooting on Semi, feck that for a laugh)

Always use L1 when crossing, great accuracy.
What career mode did everyone choose?
What does it actually do?
This game is actually really good. /
Great news.
The question has been raised a few times, but its been lost in all the replies so I'll ask once more. Does anyone want to bother with a redcafe xbox team?
Do any of you know how to actually dribble the ball? I mean it's all well and good passing the ball around patiently and waiting for a gap to appear, but sometimes i just want to take defenders on and i fail miserably every single time. Do you have to use the tricks?
It is becoming obvious that asking questions in this thread is pointless.
Depends on who you are playing as. If you're someone like Busquets who can hold off a challenge while he runs with the ball, you can dribble with just well timed directional changes and the sprint button once in a while. If your player isnt strong and doesnt have good balance you may have to evade challenges with a tap or a hard pull on the right stick to knock and run
More of a chipped effort, meaning you get it over the defender but right on the head of the forward.
I have a manager career as United and a player one where i started playing for Accrington as a CB with my pro.
What's wrong with the sound when the ball hits the post or crossbar?? Sounds weird.
Really enjoying FIFA 11 so far and I'm loving the AI in it too. Too often on the older FIFAs it became easy far too soon but at the moment I'm playing on World Class and its realistic in the sense that the big guns (Chelsea Barca etc) are very difficult to break down.
I recently played Liverpool in Career mode and the game was so exciting to play. This goal from Rooney made me literally jump in the air for joy!

In the online menu it says that my firewall is "restricted", could anyone guide me how to "open" it? As I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to stuff like this.
