Is it just me or does Ribery suck donkey cock in this game? I bought him in my second season and he sucks, not what I expected from one of the top 5 players in the world. True, he's been injured for a couple of months in the beginning of the season, but still...Passing 13, Crossing 13, Finishing 12...
The problem isn't finding someone better than him, that can be done with simple filtering of players, it's the HUGE oversight by the game developers who are simply put, idiots. This kind of thing ruins the game copletely for me, because it was meant to be a REALISTIC take on football. And when I see one of worlds best players is inferior to an Ashley Young, it makes me sick to my stomach.
I've been playing this game for a decade and always they were horribly biased towards English players. Idiots.
Well it's a dribble compilation, not passing. 
He was a ball hog lot of the time, but that's what made him who he was, kinda like C.Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic. He didn't lack the end product, be it a goal or an assist at the last moment, and that's what matters.

Yeah, even brazlian samba dancers dont have anything on him, he really has amazing skills, although from what i saw, he passing wasnt one of his favorite activities

Now the problem is not only english players who are overrated, for me the main problem is their inconsistency in player stats. Ribery is the perfect example of this, some other are silva, o mota from valencia, they are the best players statswise. And there are a lot of those examples.
I remember some right back in ukranian league, brazilian I think he was, he was just out of this world, and there is no way developers could have missed these things, they are plain obvious. I mean, one of top players looks like shit, and mediocre ones are world class.
But all in all, its a good game, and no other manager sim comes near it.
As for Robert, I dont think it would be passible for ronaldo to do such things, I dont think he has the strength to hold the tackles thrown at him like that Damn, im just shocked I havent seem/knew him before... the way he dribbled past a guy in the last minutes of the clip, just blew my mind.

As for the inconsistency despite the attributes, that depends a lot on your tactics and instructions. For example Silva needs a free-role, creative freedom, etc., Trez needs full attacking mentality, little creativity, etc. Combine that with their position on the pitch, the formation, the squad instructions, etc. and it's just way too much things to think of. Which is another reason why I've grown to dislike the game, it became too complicated, now you need to think of way too many things which becomes frustrating. I remember the good old days when Team instructions had 5 options. Those were the good old days.
Besides all that, the game is buggy as hell, so that can cause a number of things.
Yeah, football was different back then, lot rougher. It's a great clip with lots of cool moves. It's hilarious how defenders keep falling on the ground while he's doing simple roll-overs. BTW, I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say you didn't knew him before.
Will never make the same mistake again
By the way, what about bugs are you talking about? I havent noticed a lot of them, im playing 9.3. They have fixed a lot since it came out, remember where world class players would run out of bounds with the ball, that was annoying
Ok, Im off to training, gonna work on my team work and techique a bit

I feel for you man, Ashley young is stupidly overrated on that game, as is theo walcott who turns into the perfect winger.
some players are given a way too high rating by the game developers and others are given really low. Like Cristiano Ronaldo, as much as he is a prick is the best player in the world, or at least when the game came out he was, but his stats aren't really that special. High ratings are given out way too easily, if someone is not outstanding at something i dont think they should get above a 15.
But just to add the cherry to the top of the ridiculousness cake I'm going to show you a screenshot from my game Vlatko, now let me warn you, you may smash your screen in disgust but bear in mind I am Bayern manager 4 years into the game.....
Apparently Molinaro is a better crosser of the ball than Ribery and Ronaldo....
:rofl2: :wth: :confused2

I never noticed Ronaldo's stats are like that...Passing, Creativity and Crossing all 13? Gimme a break... The developers make a lot of these mistakes and sometimes I can understand it but when we're talking about world's best players, these mistakes can not happen.Ronaldo's stats are horribly low and they do it to all the best players, seeminly they dont want to make them too good but its just stupidity to give players like that less than 15 in aspects of the game that they are immense at, I'd like to Sports interactive to name me 20 players in the world that are better crossers than ribery but there are thousands on this game - madness.
You just cannot forgive a game creator who thinks molinaro's a better crosser than ribery and ronaldo. Anyone that has taken time to watch molinaro would know he's not even a better crosser than Ranieri. We should put them in this forum and get them to argue that Molinaro crosses the ball better than these players, they'd get eaten alive, his crossing attribute should be 2
