    One more bug I encounter a few times, my players passed or shot the ball alone, which means I didn't touch anything but they all the sudden kicked the ball. The other bug I encounter only once was that my player shot well over the bar but it counted as a goal

    The CPU makes (rash) tackles all the time if you force it to, see the video I posted. CPU often finishes my games with 10 men

    I also had a 'goal' that looked like it went over the bar. But it was really a goal, the ball just went right through the roof of the net

    yes, goal collision is working fine but it seems 1 goal out of 100 go through the net. There is one hole in the net, I should call a tailor :-D

    Gianluca, I think you could add a "shooting assistance" just like the passing one, so that beginners will score more easily, which means that the players will shoot on target (well not a 100% on target of course) when pressing A from 20 meters away from the goals as for exemple. It could be very useful for beginners, and maybe a "center assistance" which would make a player center automatically when being just outside the goalie area by holding B

    Maybe just making easy 'easier' would help as much as anything. I guess the game also depends on where you're coming from in terms of retro-oriented footie. It's been a long time since I played AS, but the series seems much more similar to KO in nature than Sensi, bar maybe the passing. The latter was on the frame, but AS requires the animations to 'catch up' to whatever action is being considered. That alone makes shooting and scoring a lot more difficult.

    Ah, man. A pity someone wealthy can't just throw money at this. Huelsbeck's already done the soundtrack, but how cool would it be to get Stoo Cambridge doing the graphics?

    I don't know if it's been mentioned but in career mode whenever I try to change the opponent's kit the screen goes dark and I have to restart the entire app.

    Same here, but only once while changing the colour of my player's selector (that circle to show who has the ball)

    This occasionally happened to me when changing the icon at the top.
    Just using home/away at the bottom (which is what changes the actual kit) never caused a problem. Gianluca will fix this very soon anyway

    I'd like it if the ball "stuck" to the players a little more. The amount of times I've ran straight past a loose ball or had the ball run away from me as I slightly change direction is unreal.

    I've got all the assists on too. I'd like it if the ball control felt like Sensible Soccer.

    I have this problem too, it's particularly annoying when the player in possession loses the ball because the game changes the active player.

    Another small graphical idea: instead of all the teams having those vertically-halved flags, maybe a few variants? (Stripes, hoops, quarters, horizontal line, vertical line?) Would add to the team's visual identity.

    the ball control requires skill and timing, if you move the stick too early the player will shield the ball instead of running toward the ball.

    the idea behind is that in order to perform great dribbles it is required the human skill and not the virtual footballer skill.

    Check this video:


    This guy has a superb technique for example and can perform wonderful dribbles.

    Thanks for the tip and video. This game is easy to play tough to master it requires time and patience to get the hang of things. Put time into it and get rewarded that's what gaming is about or it used to be anyway. It's not easy to dribble that's why there is an assist as the video shows its not the game as clearly you can dribble properly it just requires the skills to do it so go play up!

    I just switched to diagonal camera and the game is a way better now, quicker and easier to shield the ball
