We can rock out some FIFA Clubs later this week. :p

I also think we should do an East vs West challenge at some point. Just have E1 vs W1, E2, vs W2, etc... Just to see how the conferences stack up against each other for fun.

For the sake of amusement, one of the MLS bloggers put up a list of projected starting lineups for the teams this year. Just curious if anyone is using the same one that actually might play this year. I have a few changes in mine because Convey isn't on the roster. I think I'm using 9 out of those 11 players right now.
i'd be up for any of that. we could also do 3v3 4v4 etc. be a pro east vs. west provided we could get enough together

woodchuck, correct me if i'm wrong but did we ever decide on a playoff system? 4 from each conf? if so, playoffs are wide open and will be until the very end.

You're welcome to send me invites for scrimmaging lol

so i was exploring menus last night trying to figure out what the best way to get an online co-op game going with a friend who just bought Fifa09.

and i found myself in some lobby setup i have never before seen. i dont even remeber where it was off hand. but apparently there are actual lobbies in this game where you can try to find matches? lol wtf. ill have to explore further!

there are still so many menus that i havent figure out a purpose for yet.

so whats the best way to get a 2v2 going? there is no 2 v CPU online right?

these menus are a complete nightmare.

his projected NE lineup looks pretty flawed. doubt we'll be changing from the 3-5-2, and having Teirney in the starting lineup probably wont happen, unless neccesary.

Do you guys have the personnel to run the 3-5-2 with Parkhurst gone?

yeah, Badilla would be his replacement.

but good call though. and this year is going to be such a transition year, that the 4-4-2 could be a real possibility. we did experiement with it a few times last year. its just been 3-5-2 forever now... maybe due for a change.

seriously doubt we'll see Teriney in the starting lineup though, unless he really steps up the the plate. he hasnt shown much at all.

and now we have Vidiera to think about fitting into the line up.

its going to be an interesting year for us...

Yup, this match will be quite the showdown! I really wish we could have spectators for big matches...
Seriously. Having been in leagues for years I've been asking for this in sports games for a long time now. The ideal game (that will never happen) would have great in-game leagues with tons of stats (including assists, ffs), that could be viewed and edited on the web and all games could be viewable.

Of course, for now we are stuck with an online interface so shitty we would rather run it through a post on GAF, so yeah, maybe our grandkids will get to enjoy the above.

nba 2k already includes most of that, and I believe NCAA football has an amazing online dynasty mode. of course, it seems the different EA studios never share stuff with each other except for the atrocious menu design

it really depends on how bad the spectators would affect the lag, although I guess it should not be that bad, PGR4 had that feature and I didn't hear too many bad things

You could always prioritize the people playing. That way any lag would affect the viewers first.

Hail to the KING baby
You could also put the viewers on a different "channel" both voice and data, so that they may be delayed but they'd get a good feed, not interrupt the game, and be able to chat. PC games, and a few console titles, have been doing this since forever. You could even spice things up EA-style by throwing in shit like betting on who will win, who will score the next goal, etc.

Yes I know this is total fantasyland stuff.

But if the servers won't let me connect, I might have to drop from the league. I was trying to play Astrolad the other day, and it just would not let me get on. I tried everything. Since I already don't have much time to play..I can't spend half an hour rebooting my router and modem, only to find out that it's not going to work. Anyway..hopefully it'll be smooth tomorrow.
I sent you an XBL friend request. Hopefully we'll be able to get it to work tonight. I'll be on at 8 if that works for you.

EDIT: And Shinobi, if you're on tonight we could play our game too.

I have the same router settings that I've always used to play EA games fine, but it won't let me on. My router is pretty basic..I'm not sure how to check the port settings. Anyway, I don't have the patience for this shit. If anyone is on a waiting list..let them have the Chicago Fire. I'm fed up with this crap.

Sorry things couldn't work out fifty. And I'm sure we'll get our game in later this week, Shinobi. Would it work if I were to invite you, or would it just not let you join?

woodchuck

yeah, here are the remaining games:

Match 2: Toronto FC vs Chicago Fire
Match 6: Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew

and then match 7, 8
 

AstroLad

Hail to the KING baby
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof

Wax me
Mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof

So pay the money and take a shot
Leadfill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof

And bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof

:./

EA put a hit on me. It's so ridiculous, and I'm so tired of this shit that I'm not going to bother spending the hours of time it might take to fix it. I'd be angry..but it's so bizarre that I'm basically just laughing at the situation. Good luck to the new Chicago owner. God wants me to play absolutely zero video games. He is getting His way.

Hail to the KING baby
such an unceremonious end to such a glorious career

It's been seven hours + fifteen days
since u took your love away
I go out every night + sleep all day
since u took your love away
since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

it's been so lonely without u here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl u better have fun
no matter what u do
but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

all the flowers that u planted mama
in the back yard
all died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

I had the same issues last yr around november-december, but now I don't have any problems. So I am not sure what causes it, cause I had to delete my profile a few times

N.A., I will be around tonight a little bit, but if we don't catch each other then, I can do our match Friday night, Saturday during the day, or Sunday at any time. Just let me know when you want to do it!

yeah, no rush Chris. im sure we'll catch up sooner or later this week.

man that was an ass pounding last night Cornballer. shoudlve been like 5-0.

miserable.
 
You had some bad luck conceding the 2nd goal and getting a red card on the same play towards the beginning of the game. :/

Anyone up for FIFA Clubs tonight or should we wait for the weekend?
 
Cool. QVT says he might be able to make it. Let's see if we can get at least 4 tonight, otherwise we can just play some MLS scrimmages or whatever.
