I already said the same sort of thing, but you know what he's like...

this is why the bot support should be fixed, if noobs first start out, thet should play offline, but with the bot pathing as it, there is no hope but just practise

I think your right to a certain degree. Most people when they get a game want to jump right in and get their feet wet, with out reading the manual. But then after they play for a while, I would be willing to bet, most people read up to figure out more about the game.

I did a search on this forum on the word strategy and did not find anything about a noob guide... maybe i should have done a more extensive search.

A lot of Forums will put the FAQ's or Guides at the the top of the list no matter when the last post was.

These forums were moved a couple weeks ago, so you might not find many strategy posts here. I'd give you a link to the old forums, but they've gone

See this is what bugs me about noobs, i checked out now to play before i did. I made sure i knew what the keys done and then hit up Training court before entering an online game. I can understand if they dont know how to use certain tactics or throw direct passes at you when you are marked. But... they should learn some basic concepts before setting out.
