I applaud you good sir.
I have been using LA Galaxy for the past month and a half and the game
is sooooo much more fun, every now and then I will run into a stand up player
who will use an evenly matched team and they usually turn out to be really really great games.
I have a new found appreciation for Fifa 08' and have realized that it is
a more realistic than I have given it credit for. The problem is when you
constantly play 5 star teams you abuse the player ratings but when you
play 3 even 4 stars and under you must really have a strategy and skills of course.
It might seem like a worthless cause but at least I know I'm having fun, even in defeat which is what the game is about.
