Mini World cup...

[Zygalski]

I think we should do a totally random draw so we get a real chance for a group of death!

How this works is that people make the teams play matches on their PS2 with the 2 teams playing in the 'manager' mode so you can select the tactics and make subs etc but the CPU plays the matches itself.

Are we playing the matches on 5* difficulty?
How about using for form all red arrows so that there's less hassles in making changes due to a bad arrow?

Okay... red arrows it is...

And thanks ZYg for clarifying that ... saved me doing it... it was gonna have a knock out thing but if everyone wants a group thing we could do that... can someone do the random draw and post it when the teams are done plz??

and it is shannon... but i was thinking of changing to JHL...

 

[-=[101st]=-]

4 groups with 4 teams in each...

a bit off topic... but i created the thread so

but... sheringham316 did u manually cut out ur NFS:U car... or is there an easier way??

 

[-=[101st]=-]

can the peeps who have selected their teams send me their tactics asap because ideally i would like to get the first 2 rounds of the group stage done this weekend...

wouldn't it of been better if WE played the matches?

like u gave us sum random fixtures and we played friendly matches and then posted the results?

and i think we should have random arrows, then if say your best play was on grey arrow you would haved to use your manager skills to win the match.

 

[MazzaDon]

Giggsy, that would the ideal way to do it BUT how are we gonna trust some people to post the actual result. There will a big case of match rigging going on. At least if -=[101st]=- does all matches, then we only need to trust him, if he rigs it then we have not wasted our time and no-one will be bothered. He seems genuine and will have to post screenshots of results. Anyone who likes JLH, has my support.

So, let me get this right. We e-mail the tactics (i.e. formation, players in which postion, freekick takers, captain etc.) to -=[101st]=- a.s.a.p, then HE plays the matches for us. The way he plays the matches is by setting the games to 'manager' mode i.e. 'fully automatic'.

Criteria:
Start off with 4 GROUPS of 4 (A - D)
10 minute matches
Difficulty: 5*
Player form: All RED arrows(at all time throughout tournament)

The only thing that needs clarifying is SUBS. AS the palyers are all on RED, then there's no need for subs during a games. But do you want us to choose if we want to change the starting 11 after each game? I reckon its best to have fatigue as 'OFF' and use the same starting 11 throughout the whole tournament.

 

[Giggsy11]

i don't think so, because if say i am wales and giggs is on grey arrow then it will be rock hard for me to play without him, so its more of a challenge.

and i don't think ppl will rig matches because their is no prize on offer so why would they?

 

[Zygalski]

Yes it's more of a challenge but for the person who has to play the match, there is extra hassle of having to change the team around based on the arrows. And I remember wondering how Joe Cole scored during the last world cup when I wasn't expecting him to be even playing.

Plus if you're Wales, you damn well better play Giggs no matter what his arrow is cos there aren't any other decent players around!
Pick your best team. Set certain players to be subs to come on at a set time in case of players getting tired or if you want to change things if you're losing at a certain time. Should be OK.

 

[Giggsy11]

Ok sounds good to me, giggs on a red arrow.....just think

 

[MazzaDon]

The form arrow for everyone will always be RED.

 

[-=[101st]=-]

Okay.. a few things...
When you email me with tactics... can you please include your forum Username and the team that you have select please....

eg.... Gigsy11 - Wales
(then tactics)

Cheers....

And i hate to disapoint but i cant get screenshots cause of no xport no digital camera... you are just going to have to trust me...

People may change their formations after each game ... BUT.... only minorly... i.e. if u play ways you can put a midfielder or defender on man mark Aggressively...stuff like that not a complete overhaul....

And with the arrows what do people want??
because i an confused...

Should we keep this thing just to this forum ?? coz i have a mate who would like to join but isn't a member and we need a few more people??

And while we wait anyone want a friendly???

I will play two and i want to play so the next three peeps to say they want one and post their team will get one...

I am brazil by the way...

I remember the whole point of setting form arrows on random being because 'lesser' teams would have a better chance against better ones. It adds that element of unpredictability that is, of course, evident, in real life. The most recent example I can think of is Scotland's first-leg win over Holland in the Euro 2004 play-offs. Anyway, it's up to the tournament organiser and I can understand why the big team users would want the form arrows on red although I do control Argentina too.

I wouldn't mind a friendly, thanks.

 

[-=[101st]=-]

Okay Picture Perfect... want a south American battle??

Have you submitted you tactics??? if you have i could do it within the next 20 mins...

You have a good point on the arrows... i just want to try and get a majority of people satisfied witht he rules... so we have no bitching after wards...

 

[-=[101st]=-]

before i forget... i got Duff's stats from CM4 as well as Nistelrooy's...

if people want me to post the exact specifics... i willbut if not i cant be bothered... but they are both pretty good now..

 

[MazzaDon]

I'll go with the majority vote

I'd actually just like a friendly with the default settings at the moment, and after you give the results, I'll think about who I need to change around. Thanks.
