I cant believe how hard I am finding it playing online!
12 years ago when i used to play my mates on the Amiga i was excellent and now im really rubbish!
I can score against the computer all day long but not against opponents on here. Also everyone seems to be able to almost walk it around my goalkeeper online and i have never seen that before.
I think joing a league was a bad idea as its depressing!....much more practise needed i think!!

Regjames have you already received the adaptor you mentioned? If you used to play joystick then I imagine how difficult it is to play keyboard now - especially that swos level here is really high. Even with a joy give yourself time to get used to most common ways of scoring. Don t give up, cause as it was alredy said: we all ve been there:)

Hi Dzem

The adapter arrived yesterday and im much better with it but certainly no match for the people who play online.
I guess its just a matter of practise, but its very frustrating as its like learning all over again. Its better to play against people though i think as against the computer is not quite the same.
I just dont like wasting peoples time as I cant really be competitive

Hm, I think you are doing quite good for an online-beginner.
You had some close defeats vs. players who play online since 2 or more years.
That s impressive, if you ask me.

Just keep playing, results will be better soon.

IIRC I ve lost my first 50 matches here. And it was the same for me as for you...I thought I m the best worldwide and will kick any ass which comes along ;D

Well, it was the opposite. But it s worth to get through all that (sometimes depressing) defeats as you ll become better and better...trust me and the other guys who ve mentioned that before :)


Keep SWOSing

I know this is a common problem for the new players. Well, new to the online community anyway, we all know our Swos! How about having some regular new-player-tournaments? Say, for those with less than 50 or 100 online matches, to pick an idea at random? Would anyone be interested in taking part in events like this, or are they there already?

Yep, we all had the same problem.

I organized a cup for players with max. 4 stars a few months ago.
If there s interest, I ll organize a new tournament for players with max. 3 stars or less than 100 official games.
