Its so funny when...

F00tieFanat1c · 09-11-2008, 12:28 AM

You come up against people who set their favorite team as Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, or even Manchester City, and then they go and choose Manchester United! How can you support any of those 4 teams and pick Manchester United, its hilarious lol

K1NGSM1LL · 09-11-2008, 12:30 AM

Sure is

van deacon · 09-11-2008, 12:35 AM

yeah, had the same thing happen to me with real/barca too. a silly computer game or not, any self-respecting fan would never played as their rivals.

ImperialGendarme · 09-11-2008, 12:36 AM

It is very annoying when 10 games in a row this thing happened to me, they all switch their defualt team to united when I switched to a different team.

F00tieFanat1c · 09-11-2008, 12:36 AM

Nobody else really switches, its basically everyone switching from their favorite team to Man U just to win lol

GoTorontoFC · 09-11-2008, 12:45 AM

I hate those faakkers man..
all ******* glory-hunters and wannabe winners.
Always wanting to be on top.

I wish there were competitions for people that love to play football... and competitions for gamers.

There should be a quiz at the beginning to test your knowledge of real football. haha

N12 Legend · 09-11-2008, 12:49 AM

It's a joke really, every single person apart from a select few who WANT to play a fair match goes straight to United. Boy does it **** me off.

F00tieFanat1c · 09-11-2008, 12:57 AM

That is the only team that has ever beat me online. The player doesn't even have to be that good, they just get so many lucky breaks its hilarious, but what can you do lol

George3170 · 09-11-2008, 12:57 AM

My fav team is Melbourne Victory i cant choose them online coz there only 1 and half stars. And its so hard because the other teams are so much faster. So i have to pick a better team

So are you saying you pick Man U with an AC Milan signature?

George3170 · 09-11-2008, 12:59 AM

No i'm fair if they pick a 4star team i pick a 4star team. If they pick ManU i Pick Barca.

Why don't you use AC Milan if they are in your sig?

DOA KappaTango · 09-11-2008, 01:06 AM

I use 4 star PSV. I am a Lifelong United Fan, but wont use them online. They are way too over-rated and used by noobs.

I like the challenge of beating them

My friend who I kill at 08 and 09 used Man U and I picked Tottenham and he beat me lol. That jsut proves how ridiculous they are haha

Funkman05 · 09-11-2008, 01:15 AM

Well i have had the same problem there are ways to sort this out and i have another point to make.

1 Can only use 5 star team when you are at a level of 10+
2 Scrap the chat rooms as it seems it is only used to talk trash and use vile words there should just be the quick play menu for online Ranked/Unranked tabs
3 A patch to sort out the BUGS like side stepping of players and the weather and the AD boards and Stada

Well Any Thoughts

I agree. I played a guy with Bulgaria vs France. He KILLED me. I pick England on the rematch, and he didn't even get a shot on goal. This game is dominated by speed.
I wish EA would make a system that if you are not playing good, your players become "bad", for the game. With high moral or low moral, depending on how YOU are playing, and not on the players you have on your team. Just like in real life.

I sort of agree, but play a good passing game and you cann easily beat the 5 star noobs. I win 4/5 of these matches with PSV.

If my opponent has a lesser team, I switch down to match.

I try the passing the game, but my players seem to be sleeping. With 5 star teams like United it's really easy to use Team Pressure, if you are caught on the counter attack you always have Evra and other fast defenders to rush back.

pogaldinho · 09-11-2008, 01:35 AM

Ex United season ticket holder here, and like some of you other non lamers i dont use them online, would much rather have a challenge and a fair game tbh

masterbrew · 09-11-2008, 02:08 AM

Never used Man U online, but I am a sucker for other teams with good weeks lol. I certainly enjoyed going up against Man U's pathetic 87 overall rating previous week with Barcas superior 90 overall rating

JuSsSsSso21 · 09-11-2008, 02:29 AM

Real men use Palermo.

i am very good on 09 as well just proves that people dont have to put half the effort in when using man u or barca

Galutz · 09-11-2008, 03:02 AM

i played a guy whos default was chelsea, i went to boca juniors, he changes from chelsea to man united even though hes playing against boca, then i see in game his 2 strikers are evra and ronaldo, then on top of that, im winning 3-1 and he quits.
sad people out there.

ibrarocks · 09-11-2008, 03:07 AM

Juve. Always. Even against 1 star team. Cause thats the team I support. Playing with any other side doesn't feel right.
