If we're going to do crappy teams, we might as well try to fill up a crappy league i.e. mls

:lol It isn't crappy damnit...it's just, not as good!

I have two games to play against Man City (zombie) and Atheltico Madrid (RobMonge). Not sure when I'll be able to fit 'em in...I'll be up a few hours tonight and might have some time tomorrow morning, but after that I'm gonna be out all day Saturday and a good chunk of Sunday as well. Anyway, if either guy is around, just post in this thread or send a msg on XBL.

thanks for posting. do you think you can play everything (your remaining matches this week + 11/12) by Dec 7th?

unfortunately, we're not getting much enthusiasm for subbing except from a couple people


Uh...probably, I should have free at least 5 days starting the first of december so I have plenty of time.

Inter Milan - replayy
VALENCIA - Level 8 boss
Villarreal- Ajay1986
Portsmouth - tse88

Guys good to go after 11:30 till about 5 today if anyone is on
 
I've tried contacting Cjelly twice now to get our game played over the past week or so and he hasn't replyed even though he seems to be on live more often than not. So I'm assuming he doesn't want to play.

Got my first defeat of the season against Exypher. Fuck, I think I got my first shot of the game in the 89th minute :lol

:D I got quite lucky with the goals though, both were rebounds. Totally timed my tackle wrong at the end as well, that was stupid.

Yeah, I guess Exypher could win the tournament. Very good player.

Thanks a lot, but I don't think I will end up winning the tournament. Some of my games were very close and I've gotten lucky several times, if my luck changes during the play-offs it can be over very quickly :)

So did RobMonge and zombieshavebrains like, die or something?

I'm gonna split in the next half hour or so, and I probably won't be available to play the final two games till late tomorrow afternoon or early evening. I'll be home all the way through though.

BAD BAD morning, no more games for me to day.

Sorry :p

I'm still keeping up hope of making the playoffs. I've got to avoid defeat to Level 8 Boss's Valencia to stand a chance.

I will definitely be around tonight for my games. It's been a busy weekend with the holiday. Hopefully everyone I need to play will be around. I'd say I will be on around 8 PM EST and I will leave it connected to wait for people.

GG Sneaky!

man pretty frustrating for me though (again! :p). i had lots of chances and just missed the target completely so many times. SA% was piss poor.

and what was with my defense on that second goal. coming off a corner kick you got the brake away, there was ONE defender back there and he was like 10 yars away from you. who the fuck was he marking?! i thought he must have been offsided my guy was so not even close to covering him. ARG!

gg though, it was fun.

yeah, we've had some serious connection problems with my 2 games. i liked up with my two opponents on several different occasion and could not get them done, sadly.

real bummer. ive had such a good completetion record up until this point. my one positive record gone to shit!

I would also be interested in a 3 star team (or less) tourney. That way I could keep my Columbus Crew.:D

id rather only 2 or 1 star teams. i want the really low end teams. its so fun to play with them.

i want real team parity (on the low end), so we'd have to pick from different leagues probably. maybe have a cap on the actual team performance stats as well. def/off, etc.

It would have been offsides if it wasnt because I was still on my own half of the field, I thought you were trying to draw the offsides cause your player didnt move at all lol

where is the shalke guy seriously... I have tried to msg him on live after he msgd me asking for a time where playing would be ok and nothing.. according to the xbox live log he was on 1 hr ago..

sounds like you've been having a tough time getting the connection with cheesybread to work daigoro.

i can connect to everyone but in league games, for no good reason, it almost ALWAYS disconnects at the 68-72 minute mark. ridiculous but from now on i don't think i'll be hosting any games so no home field advantage for me.

if people are having connection problems within the league, we may just have to create Custom Unranked Matches (7 min).

and if it's tied at 90, just pause the game and record the stats. we may have to do this for the playoffs if connection problems are occurring.
 

Exypher

Good game (and a half :D) once again kobashi, your defence is very hard to get through. The connection issue during our first game was pretty annoying, we were playing a really nice game up until that point. I'm glad we managed to pick up where we left off on our second try :)

Think I said the same thing last time, but you probably would've had me beat if cross plays were a bit more useful in Fifa '09. From my experience it's very hard to score from a cross, but maybe that's just my own inability.

Edit: hope I can get my second game in before the power rankings are updated, that could be my saving grace against the curse :D

Holy shit, did everyone leave their games to the last minute or what?

I actually think it was better having 2 games a week, because it's only natural to leave everything to the last minute, and having to play 4 games in a day is a nightmare to set up.

unfortunately some of us have been trying to get our games played, just is hard when the guy you have to play never answers with any times

I apologize for leaving my games till so late, I would've gotten them in earlier if it wasn't for my ISP screwing up. I'm trying to play my games as soon as possible this time around.

Alright, so I got one game left with Feral Youth. I was hoping to play tonight but no answer.

It's my own fault cos he's messaged me numerous times. :(

I have not used cocaine
Okay i got back to school to play the games i need to today. I am trying to download and apply the update for FIFA and i keep getting an error. I've tried 5 times now and it keeps doing it. Any suggestions?

EDTI: I just restarted my xbox and it worked perfectly, nevermind.

EDIT 2: now it won't let me sign into Xbox live to go into the league menu...
