Aye, the league game was a good one. I thought I was going to get gubbed, the holy goaly had to work for his money last night.
Also, your reaction was great when you realised the goal had been scored by Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink :DD

WARNING! WARNING!

When you become your team's captain in Be A Pro mode, for God's sake don't go into the between-game menu (the one that you reach with Y from the screen that shows your next opponent and a picture of the stadium) to fiddle with your team's tactics.

If you do, players will start to disappear from your matchday squad. They'll still look like they're available in the between-game menu, but if you check on the pre-match tactics menu you'll find players replaced with crappy reserves. I lost Robert Pires and a couple of centrebacks from Villareal this way, and Kaka and Pirlo have both vanished from my Milan team.

I've never had this issue with England which is why I think the issue's related to to the pre-match tactics screen because I've not touched that for the national side (although I have changed the team around in the pre-match menu).

People have been screeching about this on the FIFA forums for at least the last three weeks, and the word is that there's a patch to fix it on the way. Till then - word to the wise, is all.

I am (ironically) immensely busy. I will have to see how much I can get done today, but I'll try to be there.

I'm getting this for my birthday next week. Will people still be playing it then or will you all move on to something else

myp · **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2008 12:12

We'll be playing 3D International Soccer by then.

Ramsea · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 963

I'll be there hopefully

Rodafowa · **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2008 14:36

I'm EggBoxless, so I'm unavailable for the immediate future. Soz.

Ill be around, sorry for running off last week, I was waiting around 8 but I had a mate round and no one was in the dressing room, so I decided to show him mirror's edge.

Excellent fun. I even think we're getting better.

Runcle · **Posted:** Thu Dec 04, 2008 0:14

haha just been sent a private message asking to join another fifa club team. Have to go on some site and write an application form, I wonder if I'd get wages.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Dec 04, 2008 0:20

Me too. I deleted it.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Dec 04, 2008 0:20

I am getting this for Xmas, and will be playing it with you after then.

I am better than Myoptika, as was proved by him taking 584367543687 attempts to score a chip, and me doing it first time even though I'd never tried before.

Aye, you know you're getting good when you score in the first 2 minutes and the other team bail out :DD

That was excellent! It definitely felt like we got better the more we played, looking forward to more of the same next week.

Same here, even the shameless running down of the clock when we were about to bag our first win of the night was cracking fun. Hopefully I'll be available at the same time next week. I will admit my passing went to crap in the last match I played, where it seemed every time I wanted to pass the ball my player was in the wrong part of an animation cycle, and I got tackled. Annoying, because that's not something which generally happens in the current FIFA.

Roll Call

myp · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 13:42

Probably not this week.

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8655

Highly unlikely and definitely not next week. Sorry.

Runcle · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 13:46

wheres the tantrum dimlie?

Rodafowa · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 13:47

I shall be playing this week, but not next week as I'm going to see XBox in Frankfurt. In Gelsenkirchen.*

*I'm seeing the Hold Steady in Camden really.

Runcle · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 14:00

electric ballroom?

Anderchuk · **Joined:** 28th Sep, 2008 **Posts:** 50

I've been there but nah, it's at the Roundhouse.

Which team are we playing as tonight then? I'd be up for someone like Lyon or Villareal.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 15:18

Dingwalls United.

Sorry, can't tonight as I'm going to see the Hold Steady in Manchester. Sorry all.

Oh, and I don't own FIFA 09.

Oh, and my 360 has RROD'd.

Mark X · **Posted:** Wed Dec 10, 2008 18:21

Count me almost certainly in.

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 10:41

yeah, scored my first goal for the great beex united!, shame i entered when our winning streak was ending.. did you go on longer?

myp · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 10:52

Thanks for the invite, but I just popped on for a quick game of Pinball FX (see also the UT3 thread).

Runcle · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:29

We won twice in a row! We even kept two clean sheets and we won 4-0 in one of the matches. And myoptikakaka said Villa were rubbish I think I might know who is rubbish.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:31

I'll play UT3 next week, then.

Runcle · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:54

Has Romanista got UT3? Because if not I was going he was the rubbish one not you.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:55

Oh right, I thought you meant me as I didn't play this week.

Wullie · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 6183

That too

myp · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 13:05

Pipe down you - you're not involved.

Runcle · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 13:08

I wonder if we could get 7 people again so I can play defense by myself, I liked doing that and we seemed to play quite well.

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 15:53

me rubbish? I scored and al that, might buy UT then

myp · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 17:11

Ok, I've just finished my first BAP season, helping guide the Cherries to the League Two Championship. I obviously didn't impress in that friendly against China for the first team, because I've just been picked for an England A game against Norway. Hopefully my 9.8 rating in a 5-0 victory will make Capello see sense (even while he is getting flak for picking a L2 defender).

The following teams want me to sign for them next season:

Cobh Rambers (Ireland) - Captain
Bury (League 2) - Fan Favourite
Gliwice (Poland Div 1) - Fan Favourite
Ulsan (Korean League) - Squad Member
Tours FC (French Div 2) - Squad Member
Vasco de Gama (Brazil) - 1st Team Choice
FC Augsburg (German Div 2) - 1st Team Choice
Legia Warszawa (Poland Div 1) - 1st Team Choice
América (Mexico) - Reserve

They all seem pretty shit, so I think I'll stick with Bournemouth and see if I can get them into the Championship.
