FIFA 09 Clubs Tutorial + Q&A

Omni · 07-10-2008, 09:39 AM

For the Clubs Q&A go here

Step 1: Create or Join a Club

To create a club

From the Main Menu go to Xbox Live - Online Game Modes - FIFA 09 Clubs - Create Club

Fill in the fields as required. Remember that your club name will need to be unique.

Once you have entered all the information select Create Club.

To Join a club

To join a club you have to have been sent an invite. If you have received an invite you will see a message icon over your Avatar in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
To access your messages you need to go to the player hub by moving from the Main Menu - Xbox Live - View Player Hub.

In here you will have a message from the club inviting you. Open the message and if you wish to join select Accept Invite or you can Decline the Invite if you don't wish to join.

Step 2: Meet in the dressing room

The dressing room is the meeting place for your team. You can gather here with your fellow team mates, have a chat and wait for others to arrive before starting a game. At this point it is a good idea to discuss where you wish to play and what strategies/formations you will be using.

You can chat either by using a headset or by pressing X and typing in a message. This appears on the right hand side in the chat window.

Once everyone is ready you can press A to proceed to the next step.

A few general rules for the dressing room:

Only the captain should press A
Once there are 3 or more players in the dressing room anyone can press A to continue. It is always best to wait and talk to the other people in the room to make sure that everyone is present and your not waiting for anyone else. As a general rule, don't press A, let the captain sort things out.

Person at the top is captain
In the dressing room the player at the top of the list is the captain. If you wish to have a specific captain then those above that player will need to leave and return to the dressing room.
After a game always allow time for the captain to leave the game to make sure they remain at the top of the list.

Step 3: The Ready Screen
At this stage you meet your opposition who are listed on the opposite side of the screen to you. The chat is merged at this point so you will be able to talk to and hear what your opposition is saying. Try and keep things friendly here although a bit of banter never hurts

All you need to do is press A when you are ready to move on to the next stage. There is a countdown at the top that will automatically move you forward when it runs out.

Step 4: Captains adjust the teams
For everyone apart from the captain you have to wait at this stage but you can still chat to members of both teams.
The captain has access to the team and can adjust the squad, formation and tactics like you can in a normal game of FIFA 09. Once the captain is happy with the changes they set themselves as ready. When both captains have done this you move to the next stage.

Step 5: Select where you want to play
By now you will have hopefully discussed which position you wish to play. This is a first come first served section so be quick in choosing your position. You can still talk to your team mates so you can ask them to deselect a position if you wish to play it.
There is also the option to play as Any which means you can control any player on the field that hasn't been selected by someone else.

Step 6: Play!
When everyone has selected their position the game begins. During cutscenes you can speak to and hear members from both teams but whilst playing you can only hear your own team mates.
Keep to your position, have fun and enjoy!

Step 7: Returning to the dressing room
Once the game has finished you can return to the dressing room. As mentioned before it is best to wait a few seconds for the captain to return first allowing them to remain captain for the next game.

Thanks - I was trying to figure out last night if you could play a club game by yourself.

Obviously not.

Cheers

Unmutual · 09-10-2008, 08:40 AM

Can you please clarify that all players are essentially the same in online club play. I'm sick of trying to explain that to teams who spend ages deciding whether or not to play Eto or Henry!

Agtereek · 09-10-2008, 03:21 PM

Sotonian Rebel · 09-10-2008, 03:25 PM

We actually have a dedicated Clubs section so post in there if you want to join a club or need more players.

halolma · 10-10-2008, 03:01 PM

I have to say, its a bit of a dissapointment that you cant create your club team properly, all it gives you is the club name etc...

I thought you could create a strip, or even have your own names in the team, like your BAP player... as it would have been cool to have your player in your own team!! rather than using Chelsea,Man utd, Arsenal, Liverpool etc.........

neiltaffy · 11-10-2008, 04:47 PM

theres meant to be 1500 clubs via 50 divisions. So far there have been over 2 clubs filled (each of 50 clubs), so its not a case of being in the top 50
