Fifa 09: Champions League: Discussion

[Gaskin]

Please use this thread to discuss Matchbox360's 1v1 Fifa 09 Champions League tournament.

[Terbinator]

can we change players etc before the match or do we have to play with stock settings ?

[Gaskin]

Sorry I don't quite understand. Do you mean can you edit your formation?

[Terbinator]

yep

[Gaskin]

Yes, you are allowed to edit your formation and your starting lineup.

I thought that'd be obvious. :D

[KONSPIRACY]

...or do you mean can you transfer players Terbinator? I may be wrong but think you can edit squads on FIFA09?

[Terbinator]

i meant formations and stuff, sorry for cinfusion :D once a team has been selected cany anyone else take that team also ?

[Gaskin]

Multiple teams can be selected.

[Terbinator]

Multiple teams can be selected.

Pointless

[Gaskin]

It's not pointless, it's competitive. We will hold events in the future whereby a team can only be used by one person, however it's not fair. Thus meaning the first to register get the good teams, all others get worse teams.

[PimpZ86]

yea its only fair that ya can pick who ya like,united are strongest club team so if only 1 person could pick them and noone else can its not very fair competition...on that note out of the players registered so far who do you guys think is the favourite?

[nimac]

I think it doesn't really matter what team you have....if you're good enough you'll do well with most teams. I just happen to like playing with Chelsea as I have won a few games with them and I'm also not the best player in the world.

Perhaps it would have been good to limit it to 3 x Man Utds, 3 x Liverpools, etc etc.
As it stands it looks like a Man U fanboy session :)

[Terbinator]

yea its only fair that ya can pick who ya like,united are strongest club team so if only 1 person could pick them and noone else can its not very fair competition...on that note out of the players registered so far who do you guys think is the favourite?

im clearly forgetting how football isnt competitive and how every team is equal, how stupid of me:rolleyes:

[Renegade]

im clearly forgetting how football isnt competitive and how every team is equal, how stupid of me:rolleyes:

It isn't real football, it's a computer game. The only way to see who is better is to let players use who they like. We will have tourneys with random teams allocated, and they will be fun - but to see who is best on a game all players need to have equal footing.

[Terbinator]

i still still tihnk its fiddle sticks though :/ is there a prize for this or is it self glory alone ?

[Gaskin]

Prizes are still TBC. You're just saying all this because you were first to register with United.. :p

[Terbinator]

Prizes are still TBC. You're just saying all this because you were first to register with United.. :p

i know ;) i didnt think it would turn into a united fun fest though :confused:

[Gaskin]

Neither did I. All the better though, I love trouncing United.

[Renegade]

i know ;) i didnt think it would turn into a united fun fest though :confused:

Same as every season/tournament. Kids.

[Terbinator]

is that whilst playing as united lmao

[iTz Klash x]

i think this site should do wot xleague do entry fees for tourneys then a big prize x

[Terbinator]

its called XL

[PimpZ86]

what does it matter if everyone is man u?if your good enough ya will still win,man u in my opinion are the best club team in the game so obv their going to be the most commonly picked team..

[Gaskin]

disgusting commentL

I could never bring my self to being United

[Renegade]

It's boring and turns offline matches into the same repetitive United-fest as Xbox Live? Like I said before - kids.

well who do you suggest ppl play as then?if you want to win a competition the sensible thing to do is play as the best team which in my opinion is man u...

[sD MoTioNz]

Envisions fifa players will win anyway...GL to PimpZ, although he should be getting in-touch with us...tut tut

[PimpZ86]

unless i been signed up by envision already then it wont be 1 of them winning it.lol yea i know i should be sorting out playing wiv your lads mate just been trying to get my number 1 spot back on gb ya know.lol i will do today at some stage tho dont worry...

[Renegade]

There I was thinking it was about the fun.

By the same note - every football fan wants to see their team win the Premier League and European Cup. Therefore, why don't we shut down every club and just leave Man United. Job done.

[sD MoTioNz]

*****ing about Fifa teams lol, imagine if Man UTD had juggernaught aswell...wow :D lol. oj, make sure you do PimpZ lad u little GB warrior you.. :)

[PimpZ86]

LMAO yea well im not happy bout losing my number 1 spot..im close to my target of 100 wins and 10 losses tho which is good but still want my number 1 spot back..so may scrubs using edited teams on gb now its pathetic.lol

[lukestovell]

looks like its going to be a good tournament.some good players in there! :)

[Terbinator]

well with multiple ronaldo's and evra's why wouldnt it

[Gaskin]

I haven't actually seen a mass following of one team like this before. Yeah you'd get a lot of Barcelona's and Brazil's, but there was never so many I swear. Thing is, I ****ing hate Utd on the game, I can't use them for **** and play much better with any other team. Must be something I'm not whoring right..

[PimpZ86]

everyone assumes if ya use united you whore ronaldo,i played a guy yesterday he said i was whoring ronaldo was beating him 5-0 took ronaldo off at half time for berbatov,berbatov scored 4 goals and i ended up winning 13-0 ronaldo scored 2 goals while he was on nani got 2 rooney the other in first half.so people can actually use united and dont need to whore ronaldo its all about passing opening the team up then sliding through balls in cutting the team open thats what united r good at in the game...

[PimpZ86]

just to check btw edited teams r banned right?please say yes..

[KONSPIRACY]

This was asked on page 1 of this thread...depends what exactly you mean by "edited teams"? If you mean formation changes and starting lineups then thats fine, but you cant do transfers (if the game supports it).

sorry kon i forgot this had already been brought up,thats good means people cant play with a world 11 then,cheers...

[Renegade]

Pimpz - you can't play with edited teams online can you?

I thought that if you transferred a player out/in it only had an effect on the offline element and not the online element.

[PimpZ86]

you can use them in non ranked matches,i personally dont do it think its sad but alot of ppl are doing it...and they cant take me off top spot hahaha.lol

[PimpZ86]

why thankyou,someone finally proved im really human by ending my 56w streak on gb,and guess what he was using an edited team woohoo,yea classic is a quality player anytime the 2 of us have played its been very close games both of us winning 1 game each.

[Scarfac3]

If i dont go out first round i will do well ;)

[lukestovell]

its a group stage so your guarenteed 6 games anyway.

[MrColl]

Some Prizes ad this Tournament?

[Potential AE]

why dont we start this tournament now, what are we waiting for?

[Terbinator]

the clsoing date hasnt occured thats why. the longer it stays open the more man united teams we can get in w00t!

[Potential AE]

if you dont like it you know what to do dont you? give it a rest, if your good you wont have a problem against it..

[Renegade]

if you dont like it you know what to do dont you? give it a rest, if your good you wont have a problem against it..

*BUZZ* Wrong answer Johnny!

If the players themselves were as good as they think they are, they would use someone else!

May I ask - why do you use Man United (if you do, I can't be bothered to check the registrations)? Do you feel that if you were a different team you wouldn't be able to win?

[Terbinator]

lmao nice one Ren. but more worryingly, he cant sense the sarcasm in my post, even with italics :confused:

[IcemanLeigh]

For every duplicate team entered, the player using that team should be handicapped 0.1 goal.

So, theoretically if 10 players were to choose Utd, every player as Utd would start every game 1-0 down.

Nothing to stop you choosing who you want, but encouragement for players to try and find a different team..

The .'s would round up from 0.6.

Genius.

[Renegade]

Or just remove 5* teams from selection.

That's my favourite idea for tournaments - United kids need not apply :)

valencia ftw

[PimpZ86]

everyone oans bout people picking united,whats the big deal?if you all think their that good and hard to play against then stop your moaning and use them yourselves..

[Renegade]

Heard it all before Pimpz. The whole point of moaning is I can't stand seeing tournaments where 95% of teams are the same team. It's not because they are the best team that I hate seeing it, but it reduces every tournament to a complete bore that is utterly unexciting and ridiculous. 'Oooh, the cup final, I wonder who it is?? Oh, its United v United. Great'.

One of the main selling points of FIFA is that is has nearly every team you could think of, yet people (many of whom have sod all chance of winning anyway) still choose United every time.

A suggestion:

LMAO,i get were your coming from but isnt the point of entering a competition to win it?i know thats why i enter and if in peoples eyes united are the best team in the game then of course they will pick them,i personally dont think their the best i think barca are but im a united fan and i seem to play really well with them,ive won over 150 games on gb using them so you best believe im going to do it in this tournament so i actually stand a chance of winning,if i thought this tournament was full of useless players id have went leeds or something just to piss around but i know this is going to be a difficult tournament as there are some amazing players so im picking the team i do best with,sure theres prob alot of the guys using united that dont even support em but so what thats their choice its a competition and you do what you gotta do to try and win...

[PimpZ86]

wow lets start this is gay xleague is this weekend

hold your horses mate ppl could still be interested in registering ya know,give everyone a chance..as gaskin says he set a date for the tournament to get underway so just stick to it not long now til we start playing games.

p.s keep me out of PX I Classic's group,had 2 many close games with him.lol

[Potential AE]

Klash, it'll be worth the wait, we know what people exactly will be in the finals..

[Potential AE]

pimpz hit me up on your FL, i want to see if your as good as i hear you are.. Potential AE

[Potential AE]

you do what you gotta do to try and win...

Renegade if you went to iseries you telling me when there is alot of money up for grabs that your going to play with a crap team? if you do then your stupid, i understand that it makes the tournament boring for everyone else, but people like me and a few others love fifa and play it at a high level, and to be the best you have to keep practising and i feel this tournament would be good practice, just make sure so everyone stops moaning is on the next tournament use different teams, maybe like someone suggested, no 5 star teams or something like that

[Renegade]

Renegade if you went to iseries you telling me when there is alot of money up for grabs that your going to play with a crap team?

Is this iseries? Have I mentioned iseries? Is there any money on the table here?

I also haven't mentioned playing with crap teams. I mentioned being sick to sh*t of seeing Man United.

[Potential AE]

ah well..

[Syko]

[iTz Klash x]

Im Sure if you ask any one from future tourneys that i dont cheat i got to the final last time!

Edit: unacceptable lauguage removed

[StompingFreak]

Pimp, Klash, cut out this rubbish. This is a friendly warning to the pair of you. End Of!!!

[Jedi Minds UK]

I haved a game with some lag and i lost a goal but to be fair the player was better than me and i not going to complain about it. He ending up win the game by 4 goals.

I would not have complained if this was the winner as this is what happens sometime with online connections.

This is a free tournament and should be played in a good sprit.(or in my case 6 beers before hand)

[Scarfac3]

Is there any way i can switch myself for another player? So he continues the tournament instead of me, obviously he will have to keep the loss which i have.

[Renegade]

We ask that players continue throughout the tournament with the registered players once a fixture has been played. To allow you to swap would be unfair on the other players. Sorry!

[Scarfac3]

Ok fair enough, i should have played my fixture a day later! :P

[Pho3niX]

Hello

Can you say to me if there is still a place to take part in Champions League ?

[Terbinator]

Hello

Can you say to me if there is still a place to take part in Champions League ?

Registration is closed mate, although im sure there will be future tournaments.

[warrierhawkesy]

Can u make custom Tactics i.e 5 defenders 1 mid 4 upfront ?

[Gaskin]

Can u make custom Tactics i.e 5 defenders 1 mid 4 upfront ?

You may have whatever formation you like? But you are not allowed to use edited players, this will result in a ban from the tournament and possibly MB360.
