RedRock1986 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I am into my 10th/11th season and I have noticed that a world class centre back with any real pace is quite rare. Is it the game or am I not looking hard enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avelives Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 To be fair they are quite slow in real life as well (generally) Also if they have good positioning, concentration and anticipation it more than makes up for them being a bit slow imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I get the same feeling and to make matters worse the game gets filled with striker regens with +17 pace and acc that every other team seems to have i get into trouble sometimes.. using a smaller faster CB as cover helps in my tactic.

SGartz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Could you not train a youngster with high pace/acceleration to become a DC? He would have to have high potential though. I personally have never tried this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ive signed many fast central defenders before both in this version and others. Try Phil Jones hes got 18 acceleration 17 pace in my game and has a worldwide reputation another one is Dennis Appiah 17 accel 16 pace again worldwide. Do a player search ticking just acelleration and pace in the search box and they will come up some however will have continenal rating like Micah Richards but he is still fast 18 acell 17 pace. Weather they will sign for your club or not is a different matter but they definately do exist even on a worldwide rep. This search only took me 5 minutes to compose so if you have more time you should find more even with a world wide rep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimi m Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 phil jones and danny wilson are both my centre backs and both are good and have pace. If you look in real life though not many great centre backs have pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHairyAndy Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'm not seeing this problem at all. In my ten season game, both of my newgen centre backs have 15+ acceleration and pace. I'll check other teams, but I'm fairly sure a lot of top defenders are pretty quick. I actually find jumping to be more of an issue. Are you coaching yours in quickness if they lack it when they're young? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 It's probably just bad luck, it's not something I've noticed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Almost ALL top defenders in my saves are very very fast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincesanity Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I have new 2 fast cb newgens but my problem is hieght. Both are only 5'10" so I traded for a 6'4" cb with great jumping ability. I put a different combo depending on what my scout tells me about my next match. ie. pacey strikers put both fast cbs in cb position or get one tall and one fast.

BiggusD Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 It is not generally a problem in my save either. If you find a good talent CD with high defensive attributes in the technical and mental columns, him having 10-12ish pace/jumping/acceleration at the age of 17 would let him have 14-16 in those attributes before he turns 23. It is much harder having such an increase in the two other columns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Guy! Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 It's 2019 now in my game and my two starting defenders have acceleration-pace of 18-18... I wouldn't call that slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
