FIFA 09

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

Do we have enough players on the XBox to start a League?

[Baddar]

^ Same applies for PS3. I'd run it if there's enough interest.

[METALMAN]

Has anyone had their player get transferred in BAP yet then? Do you ever get subbed off? Say if you're having a really awful game.

Two player offline Be A Pro is the most awkward shit ever.

[Regia]

Hmmm, there's one thing that really annoys me about the Be a Pro season, which is when you're in an attacking position, then they get the ball, and the game expects you to run down half the pitch in 3 seconds or else it knocks marks off you for being in a bad position.

[Animal]

Hah I just defeated 3 Man Utd players in a row. First with Real Madrid, the guy/girl dominated the match but I got a lucky goal for a lead. Then he scored from the kickoff somehow and it went into overtime where Van Nistelrooy headed me to a win.

Second match was with AC Milan which was the best game out of the three. I won 3-2 after a beautiful free kick from Pirlo in the added time secured the win for me.

Last match, me as Liverpool squashed them 4-0 in a one sided match.

I gave up on picking lower league teams when they choose Man U or something. It frustrates me too much. If I set my team to Brentford and the other guy got Man U and doesn't change it, then I will.

I know how you feel. I was playing someone and they picked liverpool so I picked Hull, I got spanked.

Say, we need a Orient - Brentford rematch at some point.

[Animal]

Heh I see you're hunkering for a an ass whooping again huh

I think I'll be online later tonight, around 10 (GMT) but I might just be playing Fable but if you're online I'll fire up FIFA again

[MDK]

Right, I've set up a league for any of us 360 owning fifa fans. Its called EWB abbriviated to EWB and the password is password. Original, I know. So if anyone other than Dan and Animal want to join, go nuts.

Also, can someone create an EWB team? I cant because I created one when I first got it and don't know how to delete it.

[CQI13]

I'll go ahead an join. How does it work exactly, club teams controlled by us, rounded out by the CPU?

[alldaws1]

No CPU teams, just user teams. You play each other a set number of times as MDK will have already set up. Then the one with the most points at the end wins I think. There is a choice for a playoff system too.

I'll join later.

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

I'll join, I was in last years league but didn't fare so well. I've improved now so I might be able to pull off a shock or two. Also, what sort of teams are we looking at? Premiership sides?

[MDK]

Bear in mind that I have zero idea what I am doing since this is the first Fifa I've bought since Road to the World Cup '98.

[Animal]

I'll join tomorrow, what teams are we playing as, cause if we're doing fun teams I call dips on Brentford, otherwiser it will be Ajax naturally

[Sir Alan LCSugar]

I'm happy with whoever to be honest. I don't mind being Luton, if we want to go down that route.

Two player can be pretty awesome, except I think the player rating system is different to the single player one, in that it's harder to get a higher score (think they use the rating system for the CPU players).

Yeah, especially sucks for a midfielder. Ooh, my team mate tackled the opposition, we have to immediately be 20 metres further up field!

[Dan]

Lower leagues? Hartlepool, Club teams? Spurs, International? Spain.

[AJ]

Just had the most infuriating online game ever! Had all the posession, all the offence and was beaten with a counter attack goal. Grr. It's more like playing against Bolton than Man Utd half the time.

I have an appalling record as of late, lost 3 of my last 4 manager mode games 1-0. Then online I've dominated games but lost goals on the counter attack.

Because too often, it is Man Utd you face.

I find myself exiting games before they start about 12 times in a row before I get a game going, just because bints are so intent on going United all the time.

EDIT: And sorry. I've only just read your PM after turning FIFA off. We'll play tonight if you're on.

I've exited an online game mid-match for the first time just now, cause the other dude made 3 substitutions in the first minute, taking off Drogba, Dossena, and Alex for Createdplayer1, 2 and 3. Who all turned out to be 7ft tall lightning bolts with Ronaldinho's touch. Wtf is that all about? I didn't realise you could use created players online, that's lame.

[alldaws1]

For the Xbox 360 league I chose WBA because everyone was on about using lower league teams. I guess Spurs would have been a better fit, though >_>
