FIFA 2005- SYDNEY PLESTAN (PIRES?)

[shonsuperstar]

after i joined arsenal at the end of the 3rd season (beginning of 4th) ther was a 19 year old called sydney plestan who is already a 3 and a half star. after playing with him a bit i noticed that the comentaters call him 'Pires'. Does anyone else have this player? or was he created by the game coz by now a few players had retired? please answer me if you know or if you have some thoughts. :?
thnx

When a player retires, a new one comes in who looks identical.

 

[shonsuperstar]

but why is his name sydney plestan and the comentators call him pires. wouldnt it be better to call the guy pires something? thnx 4 your answer thou

 

[The Mini]

Its just a random name, generated by the game. They call him Pires (or whatever player hes replaced) because thats how it is, now other way to explain.

 

[shonsuperstar]

thnx mini. should of jus called the new guy pires so it would match the comentater eh?

 

[Evil Dragon]

So let me get this correct, when say Lehmann retires in the game, and gets replaced by someone called `Stefan Yansolich` it will still call him `Lehmann`

Slack programming from EA methinks. :wink:

I live for the day EA loses all their licenses and they go to Pro Evolution Soccer, its a far superior barrel of monkeys!

i must say ive never encountered this problem. the players who come in are very similar i.e same height hair colour just with different faces. the commentator doesnt call them by their old names on mine though...

The commentary is a bit annoying. The thing I hate the most is when they say your team's won the league, when there's one game to play and you are 15 points behind the leaders. :roll:

 

[seb_afc]

yeah that is extremely annoying... its hard to score shots from a long distance too...

 

[GoonerGurjit]

I play best with a 4-4-1-1 formation. It hard to keep long shots down but I'm pretty good from just outside the area. Keep them low and hard. Direction is the key to success imo.

 

[seb_afc]

how do you keep them low? with the direction pad? as for the direction is it possible to make the ball swerve?

 

[GoonerGurjit]

To keep them low you have to hit the O button twice very quickly, but you have to get enough power. Thats the tricky bit. To make the ball swerve you have to press up and left/right together.

 

[seb_afc]

ok. cheers. haha your like a fifa expert. whats the best corner to take?

 

[shonsuperstar]

anyone then press triangle to chose a player. doesent work everytime but its by far the easiest way to score

 

[shonsuperstar]

o and btw, after you have pressed triangle look at the guy who takes the corner. stert your guys run just as the corner taker is lowering his arm. that should do it

 

[seb_afc]

ok thanks. that should cover everything.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

I find corners impossible to score from unless the ball breaks kindly inside the box.

 

[seb_afc]

yeah.. i still havent scored a nice direct corner, only if it bobbles about in the box, which doesnt happen too often. what i find about fifa is that its too repetative. as free kicks are all the same, corners, keeper saves are the same... and after playing for two months it starts to get on your tits.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

I don't play it that often but it still gets annoying thrashing everyone 5 or 6 nil.
