    I think he will. He's only going to go there from Monaco and they might as well cash in on him when they'll get someting like 70m. 70m? football prices are getting beyond insane these days. plus have seen de maria and Isco's name on a lot of sites in the last day suggesting they're trying to...

    India in England Jun-Sept 2014

    rahane has been the real surprise out of india, all the talk had been about kohli and pujara emerging but he looks an absolute gem of a player, he might even be better than those two, he's doing so well in the overseas tests.

    India in England Jun-Sept 2014

    in the balance I think. india should be a tad worried if the old ball isn't doing anything, jadeja's not a good enough spinner to twirl people out without much spin and they don't have enough raw pace to worry england. could see england being 100/5 or something like that and still making well...

    regarding edges discussed with blockerdave, hmmm no wonder it's so impossible to take them, I've been loolking at a few deliveries in slow motion and it shows even when you take them it doesn't actually register them. Had the AI block a shot dead off the top edge of the bat and an on drive come...

    what I find annoying is that when I'm batting the AI obviously compensates my bad shot selection by putting the bat nearer the ball, whereas the AI doesn't seem to bother doing the same when it's batting. it just swings away getting nowhere near it at times, playing awful shots (cutting stuff on...

    ok blocker, going to apologise, decided to have another go with a new fast bowler and you're right. I played two FC matches and an ODI, bowling roughly 100 overs (took bloody ages) I had 3 edges in that lot, one of them was on an LBW decision. perhaps most disappointingly is I decided to tally...

    Batting in career mode is a serious issue

    if that really is true then that's simply poor design. go to this site and test your reaction times. Human Benchmark - Reaction Time Test my average was 275ms, and that's just for clicking a mouse when I see a colour, not also making a decision on which shot I need to play on which foot...

    I do notice that conditions don't seem to matter a whole lot, for better or worse. it's impossible to get a wicket like the england v india game, batting is always rock solid no matter how flat the wicket is. I'd probably be a lot happier with getting out so often if it was because it was a...

    but they're linked surely? the problem will probably be more to do with the AIs decision making, it seems to overly punish itself, meaning if it misjudged the line instead of being corrected to get closer to the ball it flashes wildly. I get way more edges than the AI but I play and miss an...

    Batting in career mode is a serious issue

    sliders sound good, they're so essential to what gave FIFA longevity. I would have chucked that out by now had me and my mate not discovered the joys of making the keepers much better and all the players run at break neck speed.

    I haven't played my bowler enough but I definitely get them more than every 100 balls. my batsman gets 2-3 overs of off spin in ODI matches and he's got about 3 or 4 edged outs with about 10 games played. they haven't been blocks, but yeah, got one coming off the top of a reverse sweep just the...

    Batting in career mode is a serious issue

    I would like to be able to pull and cut along the ground but I still don't think this would be fun. I don't mind facing spinners, because there is a decision making process going on, it's actually a game. When facing fast bowlers it's just freaking out and guessing which way to pull the analogue...

    I don't think edges aren't too bad, but I just don't understand how they're happening. I seem to edge it all the freaking time, if anything they're too frequent, I'd say I edge a ball once every 20 deliveries facing fast bowlers and my career player is a no. 5 not facing the new ball. but yeah...

    Batting in career mode is a serious issue

    I feel after the patch big ant can rightly claim batting is more realistic, getting out edging and playing pulls and cuts is much more realistic than chipping to long on all the time. I just don't really get the decision making process that went on here, everyone said batting was already far...

    FIFA WC 2014 Final

    yeah, the thing about the match up was that Germany were better in pretty much every area except in attack. Argentina's plan was to set their stall up defensively and rely on having one of the best offensive line ups in the tournament to nab something. you have to say, scoring 2 goals over 7 and...

    haha, it was nicely done, but the account simply tweeted hundred of possible events and then deleted all the wrong ones.

    FIFA WC 2014 Final

    because FIFA are corrupt and are protecting the image of their most marketable player. he was actually pretty average compared to some of the other guys and I'd say the only reason he'd end in the team of the tournament is that the centre forward position he played wasn't contested very hotly...

    Batting in career mode is a serious issue

    tbh, I still find batting overly difficult. you watch a test like the india v england one on the other day and you can see it is possible to have conditions in which batting isn't impossible. this is completely ignored in the game where batting is always an uphill challenge. the fast bowling is...

    I'm kinda positive pippo's stromed in and laid down the law, though it could backfire massively as we have a load of guys who are just in the squad to pick up a pay cheque and this will ruffle players who don't think inzaghi has the credentials to manage them. I give balotelli a year, this sort...

    India in England Jun-Sept 2014

    embarrassing wicket. so low and slow that actual batsmen found it a nuisance to play shots but tailenders could easily make up for any failures by just taking their time.
