The wins will come with time. Finishing is harder this year, and we had a bunch of great chances in almost all the games last night.

Is this thread purely for Parmos or also generic Pro chat?

Regardless - I picked up 15 having not really played a football game since PS2 PES and decided to try online pro. I've only been playing CDM or RB in pick up games but it has been great fun so far although I am legitimately terrible. The accomplishments all look like they'll take a while to start making noticeable improvements too.

Ultimately being a pro is great fun and I'm enjoying it way more than I ever expected to and if there is ever a Parmos Dregs I'd totally be game.

Eh, it's not really that shocking at all, honestly, I would imagine we're bigger than most clubs out there, and we have a lot of new blood. Gotta gel, dogg

Also I feel like I should sign every post with PASS MORE.

If you're averaging like 8 passes a game, bump that up to like 10-12, try and limit solo runs and don't just turn-and-burn, it's better to keep possession alive with teammates in front of you than give it up and risk a counter goal. We got burned bad a couple times last night from that.

We had a couple matches last night that were hella spicy, and KP is the form Parmo atm so feed the beast


I echo this. I would not limit the discussion to number of passes because I have played a lot of games with only 6 passes per game. Passing success rate and possession stats a pretty meaningful too.

We need to pass more and use more of the field. I personally would challenge us to score more goals that aren't on fast breaks. We tend to turn and burn and will run ourselves into a dead-end, if we don't have any good options, rather than hold-up and create something. A lot of our goals are 1vs1 with the keeper. Passing laterally and backwards, even on fast breaks, can be cool and good too. I know most of our opponents only go for 1v1s on counters, but I personally have more fun doing other stuff. I feel a little bit like a dick typing this, because I think everyone knows it. For some reason we just need to keep reminding ourselves.

You guys have probably learned from me talking that I like using the wings and crossing (intelligently, not desperately), but I like any kind of movement really. Parmos is taking some getting used to for me because I have a distinct style I play with on seasons, and I have to learn to let it go and play in our team's style. I'm usually a div3 level player post New Years, but maybe 2 or 1 in the first few months the game is out. I'm not the best, but I've played it long enough by myself to develop strong tendencies and styles.

And we shouldn't feel too bad about last nights matches, we did get promoted. We did lose a few matches to some pretty lame people that still bother me though. I like winning, but I wouldn't put too much weight on what division we are in. Getting relegated in Seasons is always kind of fun for me because I end up scoring loads of goals in the lower division before I get promoted again.

Most of our issues stem from reverting to old habits, trying to force things, rather than waiting for chances to open up, distributing the ball around.

Also if you're playing midfield/fullback and you want to push up, just tell someone to cover for you so we're not totally exposed
