Speed is what matters for players in this game, therefore Barcelona is the best team avaliable in the game, just like racing games have the fastest car and fighting games have the fastest fighter.

I'm not defending Barcelona players because there is nothing to defend. Play to win is a concept many ignorant people can't grasp, and therefore they end up crying on the forums about how a team is too good. Don't be a scrub, pick the best team so you do not play at a disadvantage.

As for the thread title, Barca players are not cheating. I am taking a guess you are one of those players that disconnect during a game against barca when your losing and you think it is justified because they are using the best team and your using a lalalala one. Even after the update, there will be one team that will take over Barcelona's place as the team hated by scrubs, it could be Manchester United or another team, or still barca.

Do whatever it takes to win, of course there will be people who disagree, they are the ones you beat everyday when your using Barcelona and they are using a 2 star team.

I posted this in the last thread 1 hour before it got locked.

...doesn't sound like you know much about football terms, yet you're the smart lalala with all the expert opinions (and facts!!) about who the best players in the world are and who aren't!

For that thick head of yours, when anyone says a player can turn a team inside-out, it means such a player can penetrate a teams defensive set-up to set up an attack out of nothing. Now shove it, sit on it and stop annoying others with your immature krap.

as for CRISTIANO RONALDO.. dude he is the most over rated player and the biggest sore loser and cry baby AND.. DIVER the world has ever seen. PLEASE WATCH A BARCALONA game and tell me how many times the other team dives and fakes being hurt and then how many times barca does it ( none ) its acually pritty funny. and messi will be the best in the world, hes young hasnt won trophys yet but i bet on anything he will be the best. its all over soccer news and thy wouldnt say it if it wasnt true.!
There are no diving and crybaby stats in FIFA08 so sorry looks like C. Ronaldo will stay at 90.

cowronaldo this has become not about just fifa 08 its soccer in general so u shouldnt post anything if you havent been involved in the coversation. and all i am saying is that you people on a forum arent gona tell me how much of a fan i am or am not of barcalona. i have always liked barcalona idc if i have never been there. i love that they are not cry babies and i like all the players on the team and knoww alot about them. i dont alway pick barca in fifa because its not fair, i pick inter because thats my second team. but once in a while i like to pick my favorite team, and its hard to do with out sore loser critizing me. and fakes that pick them because they are the "best in the game". i do hope they really lower the stats so that only barca fans pick barcalona.. so i def will aka a true fan.

This IS about FIFA08, this is a FIFA08 forum. You're saying that Ronaldo is overrated and the only reason you gave was that he's a crybaby. That would affect his OVR rating.

Guess what? I'm involved in this conversation now.

You have NO right to tell anyone that are not allowed be involved in the conversation!! This is a public forum.

And this thread certainly isn't about you trying to prove to us whether your a fan-boy or genuine supporter - your attempts to do so in an earlier thread had it closed! Infact this thead has more and everything to do with the FIFA 08 game, not just restricted to coversation about football IRL because you say so. Note for your records:
  • You made the thread in the FIFA 08 next gen forum...
  • You made the thread based on Barca in the game...
  • You are trying to persuade everyone to believe Messi is better than Ronaldo IRL, simply because you think Ronaldo is a diver and a cry-baby, AND thats the way it should also be in the game...
  • You are trying to make smart remarks about other's opinions about the game and football IRL, showing that you understand sweet-lalala-all about football and other people's views on it (i.e. you try to make a fool out of someone when they say "1 player can turn a team inside-out")...
Enough said ...now think before you speak next time and add something constructive to our conversation, because you're turning another thread into a farce to be closed.

Why are you guys arguing with him anyway?

Look, he says Barca are the best, yet they didn't win ANYTHING last season, and are out of the league for this season. 10 to 1 says they won't win the UCL either, so if they're lucky, they'll maybe win the Copa Del Rey.

Face it, Real Madrid > Barcelona.

This should be reflected in the game as well.

DB guys -> Morons.

If they ACTUALLY made a team good based on their accomplishments, Barca should be a 4-star team at best. This is proof that they basically favour some teams, instead of judging and rating them in an objective fashion.

I do agree that Messi should be better though, I totally agree he's already a football great.

But the rest of Barcelona aren't all that good. At least not in real life. Therefore, unless Barca is actually downtuned to what they are (4 star, no more, no less), FIFA is NOT realistic.

...listen here young lad, all I said was this thread isn't "restricted" to whatever YOU want us to talk about - check your previous posts and what you've been demanding we talk about. I didn't say we weren't allowed talk about it at all.

Are you blind?? The point people have raised and keep on raising is why players are picking Barca ALL the time because they are knowingly the best team in the game with exaggerated stats, as acknowledged by EA. For proof of this, you should check the podcats and previous thread throughout these forums. You are new to these forums (I can tell my your attitude, XP and number of posts, so get a firm grip first)

Considering this, you are continuingly presenting yourself as a 1-team Barca-lonely pony. These type of gamers are coming across as unsporting and disrespctful, and particularly in the case of ranked matches, selfishness and desperate comes to mind, especially when they play against lower ranked players and teams. 99% of these forum users will tell you they don't have any time for the likes, until corrections are made of course.

Fair enough if you do, though its the manner and way you have presented yourself in here since that post, gloating about how great Messi and Barcelona are and should be in the game...
