Fifa 09

[nickpring]

Does anyone else find the goal celebrations a bit annoying online. People score and they just run 50 yards doing the same celebration, and then they finally set a proper celebration just so that it takes twice as long.

Or they run around your players doing the aeroplane:fplm:

Off-topic on FIFA, but games in general on line. I'd like there to be rooms in which you have to be of a certain age. I'd like to know what age the person is I'm playing.

I hate playing kids sometimes.

I just booked my copy. The release date in Asia is next week. I really hope that it'll be as enjoyable as what people say.

What? I've already got the game.

That wouldn't be good for me. I play online properly I am mature :tongue:

I understand what you're saying though.

 

[Miggy]

Obviously you get twats of all ages and decent people of all ages too, but in general I have better games with people around my age.

Cool. Fair play.

On xbox live it actually tends to be the 18 or 19 year olds on Fifa who fuck around and giving shit to everyone.

I'm guessing that you're on the PS2. I'm getting mine for the PS3. The store said they're importing the region 3 version, which is the region for southeast Asia.

I hate online at times, most players you come up against HAVE to go Man Utd, or if you choose internationals then they go for Spain just for Torres... frustrating sometimes when you want to go good teams, but not superstar teams (eg. Werder Bremen, Man City, teams like 3/4 stars...)

On another note, the Delle Alpi IMO is the best stadium in the game, the nets are class as well , green-red-white for the Italian colours...looks mint.

How long does the manager mode last?

 

[nickpring]

I think it's 15 seasons?

 

[BarnDoor]

I always play as Championship or League 1 teams online, its far more fun and you have a ready made excuse if you lose.

That's not why the Delle Alpi is the best...

Yep, I do that sometimes. I use Rotherham a lot (only 1 star) and it makes people who use 5 star teams pretty ashamed when I win or make it hard for them. But if they beat me comprehensively, I'm not really too bothered because I know my team are much less rated than yours :lol: I like to be the underdog to be fair.

Haha..nice.

When I play online, I used to be Chelsea but I couldn't play with them online, so I switched to Real Madrid, and then to A.C Milan, I just cant play online. Everyone always uses Man Utd as well. Which is annoying because Ronaldo is unstoppable at times.

i like to play Man Blue Vs London Red

In what way is the online lobby improved?

 

[Bež]

I was bored last night so I decided to have a couple of hours playing quick unranked matches last night, and I am very impressed by the lack of lag, it's very similar to playing the game offline against the computer.

I was thinking, who would be interested in joining a PS3 league (1v1 matches)? I would be happy to make one, and we could arrange matches (I will make a thread if there are enough people interested) and you choose one team to play with throughout the league.

How does this sound?

I like to switch it around, I always take a team that has less stars. So far so good, won quite a few.

I beat Arsenal with Sevilla and Inter with Napoli just an hour ago. The game relies more on your ability to play rather than the teams quality. Best team I had was Spain...knocked over Brazil with Villa and Torres who both are nearly unstoppable.

Next up some Norwegian teams.
