Never got going in this one. Hadnt played the game in over a week and only played a quick ranked match before it. Great formation/tactics by bassman. Couldnt break through the defence at all and dont think I even had a shot on target.

After what happened last season, Gotta admit I enjoyed this one

Haha suppose I cant have any complaints. You were 3-2 up at half time and switched your tactics I think at half time to a more defensive one.You got a bloody great yet annoying header which I could do nothing about with Adebayor in your only attack of the second half id say but saying that I couldnt get past your defensive formation in the second half once I was near the box.

But the way you used Adebayor has made me bring in Zigic into the team. Was very effective against me.

I miss last season where I used to win Think thats me up to date anyways with my games. Something like 3 wins 4 draws and 2 losses. Im blaming the game :P

Clanket

Anyone heard anything from Selephonic (Beekay) or Futureguy (Garak001) yet? Am supposed to play them this week but they still havent replied to my friend request.

Also, Corcs001, you got the NAT problem sorted yet?

SDTimeout

CashelMan and meself are having trouble connecting to one another, i got me nat sorted out anyway before hand and his is fine. Can both to connect to other people in the league no bother. Any way we could get this fixure played outside the league thing ?

Can either of the lads that play as these teams confirm this result??

I was involved as Barcelona. Can't actually remember the full time score, think it was something along the lines of 7-4 or 8-4.

Absolute mad game. Nearly every shot went in for him, I hit the post twice, missed 2 one on ones, went in 0-3 down at half time and put 5 up front for the second half!

I was 3-0 up inside 7mins and then i tried to press on for more, but thanks to some good defending and woeful finishing thats how it stayed. Never had such a good start to a match, scored with my first 3 attacks.

Exactly like he said, tore me apart with the first 3 attacks, playing catch up after that. Good win.

Bad form towards the end with the attitude he took. No problems with trying to retain possesion, but when you've a free kick in my half and you just boot in back into your own just to doss around at the back with it ....

Never seen anyon else do it in my 3 seasons playing this league. Bad out man.

dont see why that's an issue. ive had others do it to me. dont think you would be complaining if i messed it up plus i did attack again to try and get a third at the death.

Really happy with this result, although it flattered me a bit. Yet again my form is up and down this season!

flattered you a little but you were well on top. at half time when you were 5-1 up, i noticed you had 6 shots, 6 on target. they nearly all flew in! fair play, your play is very attack minded and im sure that game was very enjoyable for you. i looked and played like a beaten man very early on.

Axwell

This thread is for results only..take the chat to the other thread thanks.

Axwell

Right lads just to clarify something on the whole passing around the back issue thats cropping up. This league is based around sportsmanship and fair play. While keeping possesion is fine and passing between your players to maintain control and possesion is part of football and obviously fine, passing the ball around your back line and the goalkeeper without making any effort to move up the field is considered to be unsporting and not appreciated. While we cant enforce any law or ruling on it, it is expected that all players play in a sporting manner in the league.

This happened last year between myself and Kirby. He was 2-1 up I think and he started passing it back and over his backline and I couldnt get it off him. I think I even sent him a message during it calling it bad form or something. Thankfully one of his passes was misplaced I got the ball and scored from it and went on to win the game 3-2. Never was I as happy to get a result.

Now granted me and him were neck and neck last year in the league but it is soooo annoying when your playing someone and they do that. Now his excuse was that its done in real life and its protecting the lead but Fifa isnt real life and this is more of exploiting stupid AI imo. Even when you put your whole team pressing all out attack etc etc you still will only get two lads chasing the other teams players down.

That along with excessive celebrations piss me off so much.

Axwell

Yes its annoying but there isnt much we can do, people are expected to be sporting when playing the match and we put some trust in people to play the game in a sporting manner in the same way we cant stop people making last man tackles. It happened to me last night playing Splender, it was 3-3 at half time and for most of the second half he just hung on to the ball passing it around his players without going forward much. I had the better of him to be fair but I couldnt get the ball off him much during the half and he kept possesion but thats football. He wasnt passing it back to his keeper and along his back line constantly though so thats fair in my opinion. Passing it back and forth between the defense and to the keeper isnt though and thats where the difference is.

Y2J_MUFC

Passing the ball around at the back is a massive load of sh!te. A win like that is worth fcuk all. The keeper and defenders dont keep the ball for 10 mins at a time in real football.

Otherwise, we should award points to whoever scores the first goal and leave it at that. Play properly or don't play.

Yapamillias

Theres no reason for passing the ball between keeper and defenders...even between the defensive line...try keeping the ball in the opponents half and pass it around...at least it gives the other team a chance to get the ball off you...if you are a good player you will have to work to maintain possession in their half...ANYBODY can keep the ball in their own half

It easy to score in the first couple of minutes and hold the ball without losing it in your own half..easy but as Y2J said 'its worth fcuk all'

I hope I never have to pass the ball to the keeper/defender...if i do its because theres no other pass on and even then i will start on the attack straight away...if it could be possible to review badsportsmanship people might stop but as the lads have already said...we cant stop people taking advantage of people abusing the AI...unwritten rules and all that but the league is meant to be enjoyable

I havent played anyone that has done that on boards (except for the boards club team lol- but we head to the oppositions corner flag)

Thats more or less what happened between me and SCFC. it was injury time and i was seeing the game out, took a free from the left across field, went back with short passes and attacked again down the left but i didnt go back and forth at the back or keeper, i held onto it and almost slipped Lampard in for a third in SCFC's box. he cleared, game over. ive played a lot of lads here now and never had a complaint before. If thats unsporting, im finished with the leagues.

This isnt true and you know it. The tactic was working perfectly...my keeper never touched it btw. you paused and started sending angry messages. I stupidly stopped doing it. I ran up the pitch, shot with Toni, you saved it and counter attacked and scored making it 2-2.

I remember it vividly as I was annoyed at myself for letting another person influence my tactics. Don't re-write history.

You were playing with 5 at the back. If you arent playing with any forwards, and im in the lead, im going to keep the ball. If you had changed to 4 at the back when you went behind, I would have been more keen to go forward. You didn't change it.

Some of you guy are awful whiners. This is football. Deal with it. There is nothing unsporting about keeping the ball. In one of my games last week, Corcaigh kept me away from the ball for the last ten minutes of our game. He ran in the corner, played triangles, ran towards his own by-line then cut it back. It was clever, it was necessary, and its good football. I just accepted it and blamed myself for going behind.

This is a friendly league and people are supposed to play sportingly. I believe I play sportingly. I've had one red card in 40 league games. In week two in my game against turner, he accidentally passed it out to my striker with his kickout.......twice. Instead of tapping it into an empty net, I put it out of play both times.

This was a tight game, a single goal in it. That was sporting gesture. But the idea that playing possession football is unsporting is crazy. Its a style of play. You shouldn't be able to dictate that. If a person wants to hold onto the ball and wait for the opposition to get pulled out of posistion, thats their choice. Keeping the ball is not unsporting. It's the very essence of football.

exactly, i knew when playing you and Duffle coat i was up against the two best in the league, but the best way to play fifa is just playing it for fun like that. Go attack and score more than the other

What are you on about? I remember exactly, once you went 2-1 up you got the ball and passsed it back and over your back line. From your right back to your CB to your left back and back again. Back and over and it drove me insane.

Its NOT real football. It exploits a flaw in shiity fifa ai where only two of your players will close down.

And you mention id five at the back so did you. But besides that how was I meant to pause the game when I didnt have possession and secondly I had 4 forwards already. Its purely exploiting the ai in fifa where your team wont pressure.

As someone said theres absolutely NO skill in playing keep ball in your own half. Ive absolutely no problem when your actually playing it around your midfield or run into your opponents corner and shield it. When I played Splender and Bassman in the league this year they kept possession but they played it around all over their midfield and I couldnt get a kick. I couldnt complain as it was just good play to keep it like that.

But when have you ever seen in real life your 4/5 defenders pass it back and over back and over back and over with only two players of the opposing team closing down?

Its a cheap tactic imo and ive never done it. In our second match I could of done it to you but I didnt.

And as for the "angry messages" They were just calling it bad form which in my eyes it was.

On the keeper passing the ball to your player fair play as I would of probably hammered it home.

Guess thats where we are different. I dont like passing the ball back and over my defence without progressing up the field where you ran the ball out of play after that keeper thing. Ive been punished by that all to often so i just boot it up the pitch anymore.

Mr Moon

Last word on this lads.

It's not illegal or against the rules to pass the ball between defenders and keeper but it is very bad etiquette and frowned upon the same as last man tackles!

It causes arguments like what were having now. If anyone has any problem with anyone's play please inform the league admins and try to keep the forum for a bit of banter and talking about the games you've played or are to play!

We don't want players in the league who do this, and at the end of the day it's just a game and we're all here to have a bit of fun!

P.S. Also, I've been informed that Moz (livelyjojo) (Juventus) (Championship) has pulled out of the league due to personal reasons, all his games played will stand and all future games will be given as a walkover.

good game, game really turned in the opening half, Reg had a chance that looked easier to score than miss but miss he did! I went down the field and scored 2 lobs in a row which must have been a kick in the stones. half time should have been 3-2 ish, instead it was 3-0. Game took a major drop in intestity when i got a 4th early in the 2nd and only got going again with a deserved Atletico goal. another quick goal would have had me in trouble but i saw the storm out and took a flattering 4-1 win.

Good game alright....some miss by Forlan at nil nil. I'm sick sh*t of FIFA 10 now. Last game I played the goalkeeper let 3 goals go straight under him. Then for your first goal, the keeper advanced without me telling him to and sure enough he got lobbed!!! Bring back FIFA 09!

Sounds exactly like the **** that happens in Fifa10. Was playing a fella ranked 80th in the world last night. Was beating him 4-1 but he was basically saying how he feels that certain teams gain momentum in games at times and if they game is tight theres little you can do.

He was right too, all my shots seemed to go in and passes would miraculously find my players feet even through balls slipping through two of his centre backs.

We played again and he bet me 1-0 but it seems that there are alot of people out there this year not happy with Fifa10.

And to top it all off at the end of my win i was looking forward to see how many rank point things I got and I only got 40! He was down as having only 500 points and he got 160 points off me for the loss aswel! I checked his player hub and sure enough he had something like 6900 points.

Made me dislike this fifa all the more! I dont know exactly whats wrong with the game but theres just something that seems a bit off compared to last years one. (which I loved)

I definately feel this in Fifa 10. About a month ago, I was in top form and worked my way up the levels. Usually play with Inter Milan. Then over the past month, no matter what I do I can't seem to win a match. Fair enough I'm playing against better players but moves and passes that normally worked don't seem to work anymore. Momemtum is a good word for it....at times I play FIFA and eveything seems to go for you. This lasts for a session. Play 5 games, win 4. Then turn it on the following day and I couldn't beat "Katie Barry"..(and she is brutal ). Play 5 Lose 5.

I don't know but I just think there is something funny with FIFA 10. It was defo in FIFA 09 but not as bad I think.

i feel the same way, sure there are better things about fifa10 but somehow Fifa 09 felt a bit better. think the shooting and heading went a step back in 10 and thats a lot to do with it.

now that you mention it Joe, i find what happens a lot is if you concede one goal, the chances of conceding another are high and same if you score, i read in a review the wii version has a thing where you gain adrendline or momentdum by scoring and sometimes, it feels like the team who just scored get a performance boost or something in this as well. or maybe a few of us have lost our minds because fifa 10 is well received worldwide.

ill still play 10 though for the leagues, club etc though.

Very happy with this. I hate chelsea in the game as drogba and anelka are demons. Went one up after nicking the ball off one of the backs and scoring with Villa. Chelsea got a soft free. Was trying to bring my wall over so the keeper would cover but chelsea kept picking lampard as the taker about 3 times in a row and the wall reset and couldnt get it across the 3rd time in time. Was sick after that goal as I hate the easy frees in this. Scored a quick passing second which I thought was offside at first.

I Probably deserved the win but was a tough game.

yea you definitely deserved it mate, well done. I thought your 2nd was off as well actually and the first I conceded was unfortunate. i didnt like any of the goals in the game actually!

performance wise, you deserved it and i can have little complaint. Im getting stuck in a rut again results wise and fifa ruts are very hard to get out of.
