Re: Top player is Extremely very very hard ,isn`t it?
even i am nowdays, playing only on Superstar Level, but i had to make little steps to come to this level. i played 2 seasons on professional with Arsenal, dint win the league once, Then played a season with wolves on Top player, came 14th. A Champions league with Lecce on top player and then moved to Superstar level with Marseille, m in the CL final now, n 3rd in the league.
The best way to deal with CPU on superstar level is to read their style of play. i change my tactics almost every game. generally i prefer two holding MFs, because CPU really counter attacks precisely. Using the pressure buttons to pressurize the CPU really gets the team out of its shape which i dont like. just use the analogue stick and try blocking the passing options than getting too close too CPU.
Try maintaining the shape of the team as much as possible. Also try using your MFs to take the ball off cpu rather than your defenders, this allows a second wall to your defense. Also pass the ball in the Midfield very precisely and only experiment with passes in final third, try using full space on the ground, and get the CPU out of shape (like switching wings, diagonal balls or quick passing). A striker who can hold up play are very handy against teams like barca because they press a lot, therefore your striker can attract 2-3 CPU players n then release you in space.
In the end iuts all practice, n you'll soon know CPU plans and tactics easily.
