You still use both sticks which I like a lot. I dont know what you mean by the second thing.
Just the little things bugged me about 09, it just didn't seem so intuitive as it could be.
I generally don't find that particularly irritating because, I have my charge bar sped up a little, you can charge the passes up before your player is receiving the ball and, I generally don't use long passes when a shorter one is available, which is pretty much all the time.
I suppose it can be annoying sometimes when you charge it and then the player hasn't turned to face the ball in an appropriate manner and can get barely any power on the pass, but that's pretty rare and generally only happens when you try to play really ridiculous passes at absurd angles.
?
I just tap A, boom pass. A long pass you 'charge' it. Makes sense to me. My guess is that pause you might be referring to is that when you pass/shoot the game takes into account your body position and forward movement and your player will take more to to pass/shoot if say you are facing away from your intended target.
To clear it up, I am not trying to defend fifa to my death or anything but I am generally curious as to the pause you are talking about.

Some pretty decent matches lined up for today - Arsenal v. Olympiacos and Barcelona v. Dynamo Kiev are probably the big two. Yay for being at work and not at the pub.

Should have been 4 or 5-0 but Nikopolidis was absolutely amazing.
Also, Zico manages Olympiacos now? Huh...didn't know that.
I guess I'm asking what I need to know or where on the net to find out about the English Premier League and UEFA. All I really know is I'm inclined to root for Arsenal.
Re: Fifa. I came across as really whiner, if the controls have tightened up that's enough for me.
I'm obviously biased and would agree that you should become an Arsenal fan, however, you would be best served watching as many matches as you can. As Pants suggested, wikiing club histories is also a good idea.
Either way, I'm sure Arsenal will win out... we're awesome on so many levels.
Thata boy!
Read Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby (Wrote About a Boy among other thigns). It's a autobiographical book written in the middlish 90s which details Honbys life growing up while being an extremely devoted Arsenal fan. It's hilarious and a good way to get a grasp on the modern team that is Arsenal.
Wikipedia as said is always a fine source.
As lame as it might sound, pick up Fifa 10/PES 10 when they come out. Its a good way to familiarize yourself with the players from the various leagues across the world.
1989. Last game of the season. Liverpool was in first place of the epl, above Arsenal. Arsenal traveled to play at Liverpool, a place where Liverpool simply does not lose.

Let me preface this by apologizing for using baseball as a reference point; it's all I could think of.
Well, I was looking at the current standings, and it looks like Arsenal's pretty good but not exactly dominant. I was kinda looking for EPL's analogue to MLB's St. Louis Cardinals, really; a team that wins more than they lose, good management and administration, generally well-respected, and don't "feel" like the New York Yankees.
One more thing to consider: Arsenal has Arshavin, who was on the Russia team for Euro 2008 (which was on ESPN and I watched a TON of) and they were great fun to watch. That gives me someone in particular I can keep an eye on.
Ya picked the wrong team there, duder.
United isn't so bad, and I respect Fergie.
Liverpool, well. They're entertaining one way or another.
You're looking at Everton there mate. Arsenal is more like..... I don't know, which Baseball team has a strong history of cheating and moaning and emphasizing style over substance?
Also, their stadium is normally half empty by half time in a bad day and the fans boo their own players.
And Woodroez, if you have no team allegiances, watch a few matches and decide for yourself which team you want to support. Every fan (especially in this thread) is biased as hell, and while they may not convince you to root for their team, they will convince you that the other teams are shit. If Arsenal plays the type of football you enjoy watching, watch them. If not, don't.
For me personally, playing PES/Winning Eleven helped me familiarize myself with teams and players much faster than I thought possible. Looking for good players for my own Master League team lead to me knowing about Mascherano, Torres, and Babel way before they went to Liverpool. Of course, there's the downside, where Alan Smith and Park Chu Young aren't dominating the EPL as PES predicted, but I wouldn't have known about them without PES anyway.
This is great advice.
When I started watching football, I had no idea about who to support. I ended up really enjoying Liverpool, a team that I never expected to like.
Try watching games as a completely neutral supporter and you'll soon start understand what teams you like best.

Of course, Fabregas has to come in and fuck everything up!
I found St Pauli through an old teacher who would always wear their logo. We St Pauli fans try to be friendly and always party with everyone, including our opponents fans, they're all welcome to some beer and cheering.
To be fair, the keeper was the only fucking player who showed up for Olympiakos.
And the whole Cup final! What a night. With Berbatov taking the penalty because Keane had missed something like the last 10 penalties in the league. And new signing Woodgate scoring the winner.
And the night where West Ham had lost 4-0 for three games in a row, and Berbatov scored in the 5th minute. Looking pretty boring. Then we banged in 3 late on to make it 4 weeks in a row for the Hammers.
Yeah fun times.
I root for Tottenham whenever they play against Manchester United. It seems like they always get ahead in the first half but then end up getting schooled by the end of the match.
Actually, that seems like the Tottenham way all together... what a fun club to support!
