Awesome. The defensive line height is the biggest problem imo.

I can play no later than about 8:30PM (your time, in about 8 hours) today. . .or if we can't do it then early morning the following day would probably be fine.
There shouldn't be a problem with lag, this was the first time any has popped up in all the games I've played in the MLS league this time round'
Get ready for a taste of this!

I like this. The ball bounces way too damn fast in 09. Euro had ball physics almost perfect imo even though 09 improved player physics/interaction.
Another good fix. I just think that through balls need to feel more satisfying. When you get a perfect through ball, sure you got the power right, but the rest of it is usually because the D screwed up (usually auto-switch) and it feels like the game just randomly decided to give you a perfect setup sometimes.
BUT:
Online leagues motherfuckers! COME ON ALREADY. It pisses me off to no end how much tweaking and attention the crappy single-player modes get while online leagues/tournaments/options remain stuck in the fucking stone age. Give us the OPTION to have OT/no OT/Golden/Silver etc. Track assists. Maybe even variable weather! How about an online league system that isn't such garbage that we would rather pay some schmuck 30 bucks to give us a league framework to work with? Here's a crazy fucking idea that we'll get FIFA VISION CONES before we get this: Have online leagues be viewable on the web! Just no excuse to not be able to see the standings, stats, etc. online. If the greedy fuckers want to "charge" the league 800 MSbucks go for it.

You know what pisses me off is that when you do use high pressure the fucking announcers sell your ass out.

Haha, the cadie thing is awesome.
Anyway, I can get on earlier too. I just thought you would need it later. I'll get on about 8:00 or so or even earlier if need be. I'll probably be home about 6:30 PM, so just name a time and I'll show up.
And that'd be sweet if you could DVR it. Of course, I'm playing so it won't be as big of a deal.
How do you hook it up to be able to do that?AndresON777

I scored a great goal against magicked in the first game (much better than his ugly, crappy ones) and then I was stupid and continued to use high pressure. I wanted to light him up but I was just hitting the damn posts or his goalie's chest :lol

The free kick was good, I admit. I messed up and pressed x instead of y so I didnt jump, smh
I never talk for league games I knew I should have just shut up but I think you play better when you dont talk so I figured it was worth the risk.

i would actually be interested in this if it's not too much trouble :lol . only if i dont know the score beforehand :lol
and yeah, ONLINE LEAGUES! god damn it. there are already EA games with that in NCAA 09. but i think 2k9 has it the best.
here's the gaf 2k9 league to see what i'm talking about: http://community.2ksports.com/community/league/index.cfm?l=47826
it updates everything online in real time. it lets you upload videos that you can save from in game. hell, madden and nhl both let you save and upload online goals. it even lets you do in-game trades and stuff. oh, and it's free.
i would love to have like an online manager mode with everyone. which is sort of what NCAA 09's online dynasty mode is like.

Online manager mode would be rad.
Is EA making money hand over fist on this game? I see it's consistently been in the XBL top 10 most played games since it came out. Still sitting at #7 or #8 this week after all this time.

yeah, i definitely think they have to adjust the fatigue for high pressure. right now, i think fatigue only goes down substantially for sprinting. i dont know how much pressuring affects fatigue.
but one thing i do like against high pressure is that the defenders are more vulnerable to flicks and turns.

Yeah spoiler tag it I want to see it
If you could do a highlights that would be cool too.
Couple more requests to EA, which I know is following this thread very closely:
-Ability to save online replays in unranked matches.
-Relatedly, the YouTube thing sucks. Quality is terrible, takes forever to save, and I don't even get a good version to watch locally. Scrap it and just give us the option later upload highlights ourselves (if bandwidth is an issue, just limit the aggregate amount of time that can be uploaded).
-Option for no pause/halftime time limit in matches w/ friends. Why should I be rushing/only able to do half of what I want to do?
-Do pauses like how WE9 did it: When the ball is out of play, BOTH players can pause. When in play, no one can pause. I have no idea why they ever deviated from this.
Most of this isn't "oh I don't know if we can get all that in this year"-type stuff. This is mostly supremely basic stuff that should have been the default to begin with.

i think you should be able to rewatch the entire match after it's over (at the stat screen) to save any clip locally to your hard drive to upload later.
that's what pisses me off. Madden allows you to rewatch any play offline/online after the game is over. allows you to save it locally to your HD and then you can upload it later.

Yeah no pauses in play would be great. In particular two BACK TO BACK 30 second pauses during play.
I really don't understand why the teams seem to share absolutely nothing. Like why is NCAA apparently ten years ahead of every other EA game for online leagues? I thought this was supposed to be a benefit of working under the umberella. SYNERGY people
I hate because I love.
Yeah I don't like to do it, but sometimes I have to b/c I have no idea when I'll get the ball out of play. The WE9 method is so fucking obvious I have to applaud whoever came up with the FIFA system for outstandingly creative stupidity.

Magicked paused twice after he got the red card in like the 70th minute or so. I was starting to heat up and I just needed one goal. Heard his couch in the background too.
oh my god. i checked out the fifa 09 forums just to see what else people have been suggesting for future fifa games:

be sure to start Pato. when testing out Holland's real team, i played some dude who started Pato and Diego. he beat me like 5-0 and all his goals were amazing with pato and diego.

Yup, I have a bunch of changes to make. Formation-wise and play style was working well for me last night, but I need to get Alves on as well as a couple other guys.woodchuck said:

We feel that the more games the better so we won't be doing it like the World Cup. We'll be doing it similar to the CL.
We're giving you guys 2 weeks to play 6 games with 3 opponents in any order. You can play the two games back to back to make things go faster. We'll be starting the playoffs immediately after the group stage is over. So this means, the faster you complete the group stage, the faster we can start the playoffs.
and here's the schedule that we're thinking of doing:
Thursday: open up general sign-ups for any open spots
Saturday: Tournament officially begins
Magicked gets married, yayyyy
April 18th: Group stage ends. Playoff Begins. We'll do home and home like before (more games the better)
We need the playoffs to end by April 28th. I'll be out of town starting April 29th.
I'll randomly sort you guys into groups using a random number generator. So if you happen to be in the group of death, it's not my fault!
