I have figured out how to train the other skills, but this one has eluded me.

Is the only way to train reaction skill through training the goaltender with shots on goal or is there a different more direct way?

If you can teach me a training tip that I don't know, then I will tell you how to train reaction skill very effectively. Wink I have discovered a nifty trick that has allowed me to make most all my guys yellow to white in reaction. Cool

I have found that i get better reaction skills thru popping the ball up at a player in dedicated mode. Also I have achieved good gains by going into dedicated and just clicking around a player fast (very tedious), in effect having him change directions and sometimes chasing ball.

I have put my teams on hold as I find it too hard to train them and still maintain 7 baseball teams.

Just ask flingz if the method I'm talking about works! Only thing is we will have to get together in a chat to discuss it because it's kind of hard to do it here. In a chat you can get me to clarify or move faster is necessary. Let me know when would be a good time GW, but I would like to "share" information because I can't seem to get 8* and I'm afraid I'm missing something in my training. Plus, I know very little about soccer and could use some help with the reasoning behind formations.

Now now Cj yes, you should share it!! That's what all this is about helping each other in our little community.

GW, The best way I have found so far, probably not as good as CJ's but the only good reaction skills I can get is in the dedicated training mode by pulling back on the ball and popping it up to a highlighted played over and over and over.....you get the picture you Wizard you!! LOL.. Hope it helps!!

Did you not see my second post? Told him that if he wanted to meet in a chat I would explain in detail. He apparently does not value my opinion though. I did not notice a response. Crying or Very sad

Dude.. you got issues man...did you see me reply to anyone else in this post and ignore you?

I didn't answer you because I was busy with other stuff and didn't even come into this forum (too far down for me to scroll every time) till just now.

Also a little thing called supper, welcoming GF home from work, etc.

That said.. you are one to talk seeing I have PM'ed you twice since this board opened with no response or anything... so stop talking out of both sides of your face please regarding responses and replying.

I have only had my team for a week, so I don't have any secret 'training methods'... and I don't go to chat, so I won't worry about your big secret way. Thanks anyways.

--------------------------------------------

Thank you nmshooter & BTB... that was what I was looking for... I have only trained around 8 days now (first 3 days team was unable to access team.. I was a genea pig for some "testing" ..hehe ).. so I didn't even have a chance to do dedicated yet. First 3 days was running, next 3 was kick power, and now mixing it a bit with the cones and goaltenders.

I am still learning the basics... (was only 2 days ago I figured out how to change goaltenders)

I still have so many guys at the bottom of every skill.. so so I have so many things to try yet.

That said someone challenged me already and my guys scored on their very first shot on goal .. and I even won the game 5-2 (he is a 4*). Not bad considering the goalie was just some guy I trained last night for first time Smile

Your main issue seems to be that corn cob stuck up your butt.....BTW...I DO NOT RECALL A PM FROM YOU. I Don't know you, and at this point don't know if I care to. I REALLY hate some of these people that take this crap sooooo seriously!!! Good god! Anyway...I'll assume you are having a bad day...God knows we all do. I don't want or need enemies in something that is supposed to be fun, so IF you want to know what I do, then let me know and we can MSN or whatever. Lighten up. Wink

Me talking it seriously? LOL... oh my... funny stuff....if anything is true it's the opposite...

i have no teams... except for a football team that just started... so I have no reason TO take it seriously...LOL

I have read 3 posts today where you are taking it all too seriously (Titans would agree)... trust me I have been there.. and know what to look for. You should think about taking some time off... take it easy for awhile.

And I an not having a bad day at all...

Judging by the way you talk to people around here (witnessed by reading a history of your recent posts)... you have bad days all the time. Not really a way a "Moderator" should be acting IMO...

As for lightening up... I am a ray of sunshine.. and have been since my return until this thread.... and that ray of sunshine will continue after this post.

I am not looking for enemies either...I have enough of them from my past days here (trying hard to reverse that trend).... but I don't need your help in football. I will learn from the basics. I think I did OK when I tried Baseball, so I will catch on.

Thanks anyways.

Sheesh CJ, I have to agree. You do seem to be being a bit of an a-hole to everyone at the moment, especially recently and i don't see why. Rolling Eyes

Whats the point.

Oh no, I want this thread to stay put. Because anyone that reads the whole thread would know that I was NOT being an A## to him and that it was his lack of humor that caused it to get ugly......Anyway...I'm DONE with it. Moving on! Wink
