It was fun playing with you guys last night, despite our poor results.
I think our formation choice is fine, but whichever formation we play we should try and actually make proper runs like real pros would if they were playing that formation, and keep the general shape of the formation, especially defensively.
We often look to charge forward and need to be way more patient with the ball. We should play through our pivot players (holding midfielders), (in the 4-3-3 (4) that we were mostly playing last night, the pivot players would be the two deeper center-mids). We also should try to get our outside backs involved in our attack to create a numerical advantage going forward. One easy way to do this is to pass to one of the holding midfielders, who can hit an outside back running forward, and we can start a decent attack from there. Too often its just get ball from defense, pass to forward, CHARGE!
We definitely had some good moments but overall I feel we'd benefit from more patient build up play.
I know we had some players on last night who hadn't played much FIFA in the past. I'm wondering if some of you might have the camera in "Pro mode" or whatever the default is for virtual pro. I find it way more difficult to play from this camera angle. I have mine all the way zoomed out in "co-op" so that it is easier to see the entire field. If you are playing in pro camera mode I'd suggest giving co-op a try.
Just my two cents. Let's not get discouraged with the losses, we just need to play together more and communicate more effectively while playing. Club is fun though! It's a good change-up for me from the grind of h2h seasons.
