After being completely disgusted with MM this year I finally ventured online and wanted to give my thoughts. Everything I have read here is pretty accurate... People pick Man U, put Ronaldo up front and just run straight at your goalkeeper all day. I took some advice last night and decided to start stumping these idiots.
I always choose a different team from any random league. I came up against ManU like 3 times, Inter and Barcelona. I chose Getafe, Lyon, America and Germany (Agaisnt Brazil...). basically i've had my ass handed to me until I chose Getafe against Inter and switched to the five man back line. Basically this tactic completely kills a 5 star team, assisted or non assisted. I won the game 1-0 and they had like 1 shot on goal. From now on, I WILL NOT change this formation unless players online pick different teams to make it more interesting.
One quick thing to note though is that I haven't had ANYONE quit on me, although that's probably because I was losing and I am not going to quit on them...
Now, that's a whole other story regarding BAP Online. I have had a ton of fun in this mode although a very frustrating time as well. It takes so long to get the games set up and I have been kicked out of 3 games (out of 6 or so) by the captain... I ended up being the captain and wanted to boot a player so bad because he wouldn't pass, but I don't know how and I wouldn't anyway because it's someones time that you are wasting. Someone at EA needs to take away booting power...
I try and play the game as I would on the field and it's fun that way when you have others who do the same. Unfortunately, you never know what you are going to get.
Online is okay for me at the moment. EA killed this game with MM for me and I almost sold the game off. We will see how long online lasts...
