FIFA 09 (360) MLS League Thread.

i'll try to make it but i've been totally underwater here this week

i still have to inv your friend haven't gotten back onto fifa since the wknd
 
I'll probably be able to make the clubs match tonight.

And CG, our second match last night was hysterical. I was playing soooooooo badly. I couldn't get my damn defenders to turn the right way! It seems like you've been tweaking your tactics though.

yeah that's why I wanted to play you to see how the new tactics would work

It's an improvement, I was using the same tactics for milan and they didnt help for any other team.

I still suck at shooting though, I think I did better on semi as opposed to auto

My thru balls are on manual which sucks because to get a good pass off you have to hold down the button longer, so if there's pressure on you you will do a weak ass pass

I just hate 09 sometimes, I'm hoping there's a uefa version in a couple of months like every year...or some other version
 
It's funny because they said they were iterating on UEFA but there's absolutely no evidence of that. Still love 09 though, probably my only overarching issue is that the pitch feels quite small and as a result of that in part it takes like two seconds to get up and down the entire thing. Feels like indoor soccer at times. But I could play the game forever.
 
I wonder what they'll do since 09 has been selling so well and konami got the champions league license for pes 2009

they always make subtle tweaks to the gameplay from one version to the next, uefa euro was a nice improvement from fifa 08


---magicked we need to play some more sfIV man, I got my first ranked wins last night!

progress!
 
they could also give us more online options (weather, OT, PKs ZOMG) and at least a passable league system that doesn't force us to just do the damn thing ourselves.

yeah right i am looking forward to the Sobe Super Challenge and Papa John's PK Showdown they will likely be adding
 
The advertising in nba live 09 is pretty outrageous, I love commercials so I dont mind that much but it's whored out

The problem with the horrible menu system in fifa is that they use the same shit for EVERY ea sports game.

I mean it's the same in madden, nba, fifa, and I'm guessing it's the same in nhl too

Same clunky menu since 2005
 
oh god yes.

i am actually looking forward to the stupid new card-collecting mode just to see what it's all about. i will likely burn the 400 points or whatever to play it. funny that they announced it but it's not out for like a month--does it really need that much lead-time for hype?
 
That card mode was already in another game before? was it the EuroCup game? or maybe the champions league game from a year ago.
 
A practice mode would be great. I spent so much time in that on PES.

And yes, CG, we need to play more SF4. I really need to play it more and unlock more characters.

Shit, I just realized my mic is broken... it just died last night. :lol

PES had the best training modes. Real free kick practice where you could adjust the number of guys in the wall, the dribbling cones, the long-pass target practice, etc. and of course all the medals to go along with those. Why EA didn't just rip this off like they ripped off the rest of PES I still don't understand.
 
Exactly. All of that stuff was fantastic, and it's just what I want. Really doesn't seem like it'd be that difficult to program, but perhaps they're spending all of their time on horrifically complicated menus these days.
 
I swear something was wrong with my team/game. I can't describe it but sometimes when I play FIFA the game will act all "wonky" for no particular reason. My player would stop running all of a sudden, they wouldn't head the ball where I aimed. Now I can't even connect to a ranked game.

you bitches make it sound like every MLS game is like this.

haters!

That's cause they aren't Crew fans, so they rarely get to witness beautiful football from an MLS team, and when they do they can't appreciate it because their team is losing.

you had a very good season, relax and enjoy.
 
how much longer did you guys play last night, and how did it go?

that was fun. good to be able to get in some more club games finally. havent done that in quite a while.
 
won 2 tied 1 i believe. good times. for whatever reason feels better than when we played it at first. and it certainly can't be said that most of these teams got super-good in the months we didn't play clan mode at all.

then my mic crapped out and we did a 2v2 and i mistakenly picked any which i HATE but it was pretty fun.
 
The only time I have trouble is when I am the one Any and then the other player is fixed, just because by my nature I am a distributor in co-op matches and I'm just not accustomed to being Any at all. I am glad we have specialists like Cornballer for this sort of thing.
 
Good games of FIFA Clubs last night, everyone. We started to get our mojo going towards the end of the evening. Too bad that one team gave us the forfeit because I got the feeling we were going to score a lot on them. :P We'll get to .500 sooner or later!

I'll set up another time for this weekend when we can play some more.
 
Yea, that was definitely a lot of fun last night. That one goal (scored by QVT?) that took the deflection was awesome! There were also some others that would have been amazing goals had they not hit the crossbar.

I do think we do need to work on our passing a bit more though. Especially when we're playing teams that have a lot of taller guys against us. Long balls can work sometimes, but we usually just end up giving it away when there were better passing options around.

Good times though. Hopefully I'll be around if we play again this weekend.
 
Yeah, we need to get better at adjusting the tactics on the fly when necessary. I was hoofing too many long balls out of the back last night where we would've been better off just moving the ball quickly. With all of the players equalized, it ends up being a measure of teamwork and passing ability as a group.

I'm terrible at Be a Pro mode (controlling a single player), so this works out for everyone.
 
also interesting discovery by you guys that player skills actually do differ, and are just scaled to make the overall 85
 
I'm glad we finally confirmed that. Makes sense that people want to use France because Henry and Benzema are both big and fast, even with the stat scaling. Same thing with Ronaldo and Berbatov. For some reason Barca give us fewer problems than ManU and France.
 
Man U makes me sick in this game, berbatov is as good as ronaldo...plus they got rooney, that's like one of the super teams they used to have in the old fifas
 
i can probably play a clan match tonight after 9 est if enough people are around and willing. we're so close to .500 now wooo

I'll be around, and you can all blame me for not winning..
 
We should find an MLS team to play with or go with the US for FIFA Clubs. It'd be pretty funny to roll someone with one of those teams. :lol

lol so now we're a clan...brought together by fate?


I'll be home tonight. Playing sfIV atm and getting better but that's a deep ass game and it's been rough so far.

we definitely haven't reached that level of closeness yet. but one day, maybe...if we're lucky and if we're willing to let our guards down
 
DC United 1 Chicago Fire 2

Shots 8 13
On goal 5 8


1-0 45' Prideaux (OG)

1-1 49' P. Nyarko

1-2 120' B McBride


Good game fifty

I dont know what the hell happened after half time but I couldnt even direct the passes to where I wanted them, oh well..
 
Whew! Well I'm back in this season.

I wish we were keeping stats for red/yellow cards..because I'd easily be #1 in them! :lol
Another yellow and red for the boys in red. I'm not sure how McBride got his yellow. I was tackled just outside the box..maybe he dove too much, or theoretically protested it not being a PK. Either way, it was weird.

But all was OK, as the boys played with the passion and fury only a team sponsored by Best Buy could achieve.

That game was incredible, from my perspective. Giving up a red card mere inches outside the box, avoiding a PK, and then going on to win the game a man down with a 120th minute goal makes that easily the highlight of my season. I probably won't ever come close.

Mcbride had been a non-factor all season long..but coming up with that goal redeems him in my mind. I wish we could save online replays, because the goal was actually a rebound..from him (in true FIFA fashion) hitting the post!
