Are you sorting Forest too Placebo?

It would be nice if Wes Morgan was black instead of white :)).

No they're not one of my teams, I just checked the DB and he is black now, he has the same skin tone as Leon Clarke/Wade Small of Sheffield Wednesday, so if you want to look at either of those on your TV you'll know if he's black enough or not.
 
Thanks. He is a bit darker though, more of an Adebeyor tone, the darkest.

Could you possibly pass this on to the editing forum?

Much appreciated.

When is this roster update coming?

How specific it is, example: is there Juha Hakola in Heracles?

Mid February as the window closes 1700 Zulu Feb 2nd 2009.

And yes Juha Hakola is at Heracles.
 
Is it possible to change the game speed when setting up online custom unranked games? I can't seem to find the option anywhere. I heard near launch, whatever speed you had set offline, would be set online if you hosted the game being the home team. But I've also heard it's locked at normal (I prefer slow) in all online modes?
 
I don't think you can change it. Anyway, gamespeed when playing online looks more to me like the "slow" one.
 
I think it's set to normal online, too fast for me.

Even Slow speed for me is still too fast offline, which is why I use these tweaks that result in the most realistic simulation:

-Reducing acceleration, sprint speed, and short passing by -15 for any teams that you like play as (against similarly edited CPU teams).

They work best on slow speed rather than normal, and I had hoped you could set it online (if you played specialist matches against another player using these tweaks).

This realism mod, especially if you play it on all manual, for me it's the only way to play the game, rather than the arcadey, ping-pong, superfast, assisted-controls-that-make-the-game-too-easy online and default play.
 
All Manual is great, apart from the shooting. When you get it right, you can put the ball anywhere in the gall and score some crackers, but it's too random and oversenitive. It seems more tailor made for the BAP camera, where you can see all the goal and have more angles. It's very very hard on tele cam.
 
Yeah, I've scored 3 goals in 2 games but I bumped the difficulty all the way down to Semi-Pro while I got the hang of it. Crossing is quite hard to, I'm so used to semi where I don't really have to aim it, now I keep crossing it way out of bounds.
 
I always make sure I look at the specific player I'm crossing to, then adjust the power and direction while looking at him, to guide the ball into his area. It's not that easy and can be hit and miss, but I've just about got used to it. A manual cross that connects is a good feeling.

All Manual also feels much better with the realism tweak/mod I mentioned above. you actually have time on the ball and you passing and shooting is better and more careful, rather than rushed due to the ping-pong pace of the default speeds.

Guys. I found this at the EA community.

They have tweaked the stats of many leagues so they game looks more realistic. They have minus the acceleration, sprint speed and short passes of 15 each player and they play with Passing and shots at auto and the rest manual. Its amazing, i've tried.

Anyways...Here's the thread.
 
I'm doubtful about this. I like passing speed and speed/acceleration reduced by 15, but why should we put passing and shooting to AUTO? It feels absurd to me. Do this tweaks have a nice effect on SEMI or MANUAL settings? Anyone?

I don't think you have to. I think he was just stating his control preference, irrespective of any stat tweaking later on.
 
Stat tweaking, really?!

I thought most of us got past this phase when we stopped playing we10

I have completely EVERYTHING on manual and it's been like that since the first week when i bought the game. :D I just love it like that. I always play in World Class and in my MM with Liverpool i win everything. So i guess I think I'm up for some online manual playing. :D
