It's my own fault cos he's messaged me numerous times.
I haven't been on. And from I've been hearing live is all fucked.

AHH! I suck! Im sorry! lol. Im online right now. Managing a retail store this time of year is a nightmare Plus I've got a wife that loves my attention.
Dont hate me guys. I love being in the league and I've sent some updates of my status to my opponents via XBL.
OK, so this is who I have to play...
Manchester City(zombieshavebrains) We've got 2 games to play.
Arsenal( Magicked)
Athletic Bilbao (sneaky77)
Again, sorry for being MIA. I'll be online all night if have to. Hell, I scheduled my self off work tomorrow so I can stay up as late as I need to.

Damn it...I'm still mad at myself for that PK! Lost my composure :-/. Great games tonight. I'll try to be more available during the week. I'm not liking these 55+ hour work weeks this time of year

Yeah that first goal you scored against me (Man City) was kinda fucked up if i remember. Like my guys just stood there watching you kick it in doing nothing at all. Guess it is realistic :lol
Overall the games i played i think went much better than i'm used to. I actually scored some goals and won one!
zombieshavebrains said:
Yea yea... rub it in!
Usually I can keep my composure and keep fighting back when I'm down a goal or two, but I got really pissed off that game for some reason. I just couldn't get anything going. I think what really started it was your first goal with Robinho. I saw the breakaway coming and immediately took control of my CB and started running back towards my own goal. So I had about 2 yards head start. Naturally, Robinho still burned his ass and I did a poor job cutting you off. I've been doing well in those situations all season, but that time I screwed it up. So it goes though. I just hope I can still make the playoffs!

Damn, this is coming down to the wire. Well I'm back in control of my own destiny again. Dinho's been pretty great to me, he's my favorite player in real life too.

Man C. uses a 4-3-2-1 i think. I just switch it to a 4-4-2 take switch Elano for Jo and put Robinho where Elano plays. You don't have to use the formations the game gives you. Experiment a bit.
zombieshavebrains said:
Another reason why I think Custom Match rather than League might be the way to go going forward. If you do Custom Match, it brings your existing formation, tactics, and squad with you, in League you have to start from scratch each time because it resets everything to default.
sneaky77 said:
Takes a couple minutes for me. Have to change formation, change tactics (that's two seconds), then move around a bunch of players (minute or two) as well as change setpiece takers (another minute).
All moot to me anyway: I'm not hosting a League home game anymore since they often crash out on me at 70 mins even when the game has zero lag up to that point (and apparently others have had this problem) and I've never had a problem with Custom.

Shit me and Roodsters had the smoothest match I've ever played, it was like playing offline.
Dang, I just need a win and a tie and I should be in the playoffs. Don't choke Chris!

Just a question, i'm not giving up or encouraging anyone else to do so, but is there a reason i absolutely must play my game against Ajax? As it stands no matter the result neither of us will be in the playoffs i don't think. I do intend to finish the season.
Is there a bracket for people who didn't make the playoffs?

been a good little tournament guys. Had great games with Exypher and DKwhip yesterday.
I have been a draw specialist. drew about 5 games I think. Mainly due to me missing chances.
enjoyed it though even though I only won 2 games. I have been pretty close in most games so I happy about that.

Funny you ask that. I was just about to give out details about the tournament involving people who didn't make the playoffs.
NEOGAF TOURNAMENT OF LOSERS
- Will include the 4 teams from each conference who just missed the playoffs (seeds 9-12) so 8 teams total.
- Single Elimination
- WILL NOT be conducted through League Daddy
- No stat tracking except scores
- After a completed match, just post the score in this thread and I will update the bracket
- Will begin on December 8th
- WILL NOT be played through the in-game league
- MUST BE PLAYED THROUGH 7 MINUTE CUSTOM UNRANKED MATCHES. WILL INCLUDE OT AND PENALTY KICKS
- TO PLAY A CUSTOM UNRANKED MATCH:
Xbox Live > Online Game Modes > FIFA 09 Match Creation > Head to Head Play > Create Match > Create Unranked Session
You can then change the half length to 7 min and make it a private session and invite your opponent.

How will the regular playoffs be handled?
1st place faces last place?

lol tournament of losers....couldn't it be "Tournament of Those Who Didn't Perform As Well As Others" or something?
ChrisGoldstein said:
yeah, we'll post more info about the regular playoffs. it'll be done through league daddy and stats will be recorded
it's going to be first place versus last place, using the home/away Champions league format. the final game will be a single game.
After two games, if it's still tied, then you'll have to play a 3rd game with OT/PKs to determine the winner. The 3rd game won't count as far as stats/score except just for who won.
zombieshavebrains said:
hmmmm...i'll think about that. here's what the bracket will basically look like:

Wednesday is perfect. I'll clear my schedule that night.
just beat StrikeVillain 3-1.
i scored 3 fluke goals and he clearly dominated me. got REALLY lucky. there was this one goal where like his goalie punched the ball into the goal. it was really strange....but i'll take it. i'm fighting for a playoff spot :lol
my midfield is terrible in the air. i think he won every single midfield header.

I get to be in a tournament, wait til i tell my wife about my accomplishment. I wont mention losers tournament to her.

Hell no.
Anything can happen in this game.
If you're the winner of a group of losers, you shouldn't get a chance for the game to make the other team's players invisible..give them 5 shots off the post, and allow you to walk away with a 1-0 win and bragging rights.
