Very difficult and horrifying addictive game - but really enjoyable. Got to the dizzying heights of playing for Newcastle in the championship, scoring 50 goals in 77 games. Finished with assets of about 600,000. From reading other peoples scores, I realize I havent done very well =/

I normally hate any flash football games but this one is actually quite good if you stick with it.

I was bad at headers until I figured them out. Push your dude as far forward as he will go (i.e in line with defender). Then stick him beside the backpost (the one that isnt marked). If the cross is whizzed in press the mouse button immediately when you see the ball. If the cross is floated in wait until the ball is close to your guy and then press.

I never mastered volleys.

how the **** can you do snap shots and the little green bar they give you is a joke

Yeah snapshots are a bastard. They are the hardest after volleys. Focus on getting good at the easier ones first - headers, overheads, passing and turn and shoot.

deisedevil · 23-04-2010 9:01pm

Could never do well at volleys. Snapshots were a doddle after a while along with headers.

yabadabado · 23-04-2010 9:52pm

EDIT:just scored,guess im on the way to the big league

Ive never scored a volley so you must be doing something right.

Just scored a volley, can't score a floating header for the life of me...

IvySlayer · 24-04-2010 1:25am

$@#&?!

Thank you Tusky, no chance of going to bed for a few hours now

I'm so ****ing bad at headers.

Did the full thing, got as high up as Newcastle in the championship. 69 goals in 78 games, not bad.

I really need to sort my life out, though.

My manager kept dropping me.

I just can't get the hang of heading and volleying. Even with Tuskys advice!

ccosgrave · 24-04-2010 3:23am

Wound up at Arsenal, £2.2m in assets and 84 goals in 84 games. Feckin difficult game though, i'm still sh1te at volleys and overheads.

keane2097 · 24-04-2010 10:10am

I can't get a game

Gonna try the headers tip though - fingers crossed!

EDIT: Didn't work

Any more tips?

I'm after getting good - playing for Boro in the Championship now

Gillington · 24-04-2010 12:02pm

Ah Tusky thanks for ruining my day! I was only playing JFG 2 the other day now I'll be glued to this!

You have to keep your managers happiness over 50,under 50 and you're dropped for hose that are wondering.Thats the way it was in 1 and 2 anyways

Mars Bar · 24-04-2010 12:06pm

This game cost me 3 hours sleep that I would usually get, to finish up in League One!

i'm useless at it but I'll keep trying!

dor83 · 24-04-2010 12:09pm

To add to Tusky's advice about headers, when the keeper moves to the middle of the goal move between him an the post and when he moves to the far post move so that your player's shoulder is beside the keepers shoulder and you are between him and the defender. After that it's just a matter of timing and once you get it it's easy, I score 9 out of 10 headers and finished playing for Man Utd with over £9m.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 24-04-2010 12:10pm

that is an incredibly irritating game

in snapshots, by the time I notice the ball and click the mouse it's already gone out of play

I find them easy enough in training but when it's in the match, the players is kinda floating around and before you settle him, the ball is gone past ya!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 24-04-2010 1:08pm

I suck so ****ing hard at this game

Harpy · 24-04-2010 3:03pm

No problem, I have exams in two weeks time too.

Oh well!

Zaph · 24-04-2010 3:20pm

Another suffering from sleep deprivation after playing this last night. Does anyone know how how the hell you volley the ball? 7 seasons and I think I managed to fluke one in the last.

I have never managed to score a volley. I reckon I have a connection success rate of about 1%.

Mars Bar · 24-04-2010 4:37pm

I follow the ball right, let it bounce and then take it. I have scored a good few but still haven't scored a floating header, Always off the post of the goalie saves.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 24-04-2010 5:04pm

Deadly game.:D
Volleys and headers are impossible, and I always seem to choke with my bicycles in the matches.:(

Mars Bar · 24-04-2010 5:13pm

I just figured out how to put a penalty into the top corner! Whoo!

leninbenjamin · 24-04-2010 5:18pm

I played it for 5 minutes, then decided I'd enjoy this more in real life, so went out the back to kick a ball off the wall for a bit. Stupid, pointless game that makes no sense.

I didnt know you could let them bounce. Thats probably what I was doing wrong.

Mars Bar · 25-04-2010 12:25am

I hate it when you get injured and banned all in the one go so you miss about four games.

And when your doing the passing training and the ****er you pass it to doesn't score.

Borat_Sagdiyev · 25-04-2010 1:06am

I didn't realise there was another version of this - looks very basic but is highly addictive.

For penalties, the longer you hold it the higher the ball will go, but if you time it right the keeper won't ever save it.

A lot of lads seem to have trouble with the volleys, I won't pretend that it gets any easier but if you manage to catch the ball while a) anywhere near the ground and b) while your player is more or less directly behind the ball, you'll be sorted.

Passes I'm brutal at, its a lottery.

Snapshot is all about the positioning of the player: the closer to the arrow, the further right the shot will go.

When it comes to the headers, the longer you hold the button the further right the header will go, it doesn't always have to be straight ahead.

Turn and shoot is the easiest, but again, the longer you hold the mouse button, the further right the shot will go.

Played Jumpers for Goalposts 2 to death and managed to get playing for united a few times and chelsea as well, looking forward to seeing how far I get in this.

I would advise doing things like buying stuff, which gets you the hotter girl, which in turn gets the papers talking about you, which in turn gets bigger clubs interested.

Legend of a game!

Reganio 2 · 25-04-2010 1:37am

Thanks for the heads up on this, JFG 2 was a beast and this one looks better. Those overheads are rock hard

only started it, have only done the training and signed for Chesterfield. Will play it over the next few days. I am class at the volleys cause I am used to them got used tothem through http://www.playforyourclub.com/ as that's what I used to play back in the day. Good craic, might be handy for you's struggling with them.

Mars Bar · 25-04-2010 2:08am

Managed to get up to the Premiership with Spurs and get them relegated down to League 1!

Came in 176th place...
