If i play against someone who is rubbish at the game but uses ronaldo, its **** easy because he doesnt know how to use him and what to do. So basically anyone saying, they're using Man Utd and Ronaldo, thats just an excuse, Torres is just as good on the game but you don't hear us "Ronaldo users" complaining about him! =)

i have no issue with people selecting the best teams. what i hate is when these people quit on you when they are getting beaten by lesser teams. 4-5 times tonight i had people quit on me because good old peter crouch likes scoring against Man U. in between those matches i was getting beaten alot but i didn't quit once.

back on topic, can anyone confirm an actual starting date for IWC? just would be nice you know, rather than leaving us all guessing.

Yes I agree with you, although I have stopped being Utd everytime now. It's much funner playing as a lesser team, for me I use Espanyol, and I don't think we're going to get to know when fiwc OPENS, EA obviously have better things to do!

what do you guys think ?
hopefully the moonwalk glitch will be fixed by then too,how embarasing to have such a great game ruined by such a silly mistake LOL i mean its beyond a joke the amount of goals i could of scored if it never had such a lala mistake so so so lame ea, also does paul gordon still test for ea???? if so he needs SACKING !!

Paul Gordon left the FIFA team in May

. I'm not great at this yet though. I seem to spend most of the time on the game just thinking how to set up the formation and tactics the best way. It seems so hard to get enough of your players making forward runs.

Pretty sure you start from scratch because the games are played through that seperate window. I hope not though

trustcooldude · 14-10-2008, 10:18 PM

i just thought of something. been complaining that EA servers down, cos it gives me that message when i try doing anything online on fifa 09. SO, could be since like u say, US version out today, that they are fixing Fifa Interactive World Cup option as we speak

I hope that's it at least! Cos i know other people havin same problem as me, could it be?

Danaldinho · 15-10-2008, 12:38 AM
