Just noticed: Only one win in the entire Power Rankings Top 10! http://www.leaguedaddy.com/leagues/rankings/?lid=2692 1 win, 4 losses, 5 ties overall. Eep. Good thing I didn't put money on you fools (myself included)! New rankings (and new matches of the week) coming at the end of the week when we get the schedules up.

Yeah I'm ready to start the league, should be lots of fun.
Nice, I can't wait to start even though I'm terrible. I played a few matches against the CPU last night and got destroyed. Then I played an online match and lost 4-2. I just can't defend to save my life!
And what do you guys think of upping the match time to like 7 or 8 minutes? I prefer longer halves, but it's not a big deal to keep it at 6.

if you're having trouble defending, try putting your back line deep. you can do this under custom tactics by decreasing "pressure".
As for half length, we've been debating this. In order to change the half length, we'd have to make a brand new in-game league. It's not really a problem except everyone would have to rejoin. And it could be a hassle seeing as some people took a while to join the current in-game league.

6 minutes is straight imo. As for the defensive line, you can set your formation manually to be further behind...then change the tactics on the defensive line from offside to cover.
Make sure you save the setting with the x button, then load them up before each game or make sure they loaded cuz some times they wont.
If you time it perfectly you can really burn the offside trap so I'd avoid that.

I've uploaded the schedules for the NA conference. I'll do EU later tonight but first...
NA people: make sure everything looks normal with your regular season schedule. To look at the schedule, it should be under your team page:
"My Teams".
the format of the schedule is :
3 games within division
6 games out of the division (2 random games from every other division)
3 games within division
= 12 total
Make sure you guys have 6 away/6 home. Or that you're not playing two games in the same week.

Dude my schedule is tough, I only see two games in there that look semi easy and that's cuz it's against mls teams.
Well it'll be fun either way. I need to stop playing Fable and practice fifa.

One thing fifty brought up last week is that sometimes both players see a different man of the match. That is odd. I think the solution is straightforward though--obviously you can only enter MotM if he's on your own team, so just enter whatever MotM you see if that guy is on your team. If some games have two, so be it. If you have a MotM from the other guy's team, you don't have to enter anything in MotM.
woodchuck said:just a reminder since it keeps occurring,
please do not enter zero for the player stats if there are none. this kind of messes up the leaderboards and it makes you do additional work. you don't have to input players that don't even have stats.
Bad:
Good:
I have to admit I'm the bad example
I played a match earlier and only took the MOTM instead of the player ratings. I know now though

oh wait. actually yeah, you only input MOTM. it looks like you forgot goals, yellow card, red card, and goalie stats.
maybe i didn't use the best example for "good"
but that's the point of the preseason, to get everyone used to inputting stats.

Yeah I just copied and printed that first page that has all the stats we have to write down and I'll do it for every game I play. I got 7 copies ready to go right now.

interestingly of the "lopsided" matchups there were no blowouts. ne rev 1 chelsea 0; liverpool 1 toronto fc 0. my brother said playing in ranked matches he actually does better with lesser teams so hm.
i think earliest we can start will actually be tomorrow possibly.

Guys..does anyone know how to reset the roster ratings offline?
My problem is this: Online, the game uses the default ratings, so those are what I'd like to be checking offline, as I set my custom lineup and formation..but since I signed up to that Addias live update feature, I seem to only be able to see the 'current' player ratings.
I'd like to be able to work with the same ratings offline that I would be online. Any help?

Hey, time-saving idea time. Would it be possible for someone to collect links to everyone's profile in the OP? That way, it would be easy to find the person you need to PM for the next game. If I had some extra time, I could do it, but as it is, I don't really even have time to write this post. Ajay, if you read this, PM me with your suggestion for game time. I think I have some time over the weekend, but I'll be really pressed next week.
