What about the freezing/lock ups/hanging issue in Manager Mode? I've yet to hear anything from anyone at EA regarding this issue?

rTR-Pioneer · 05-02-2009, 10:33 PM

do you know if ronaldo will be added to the game in the update?

nick82iscool · 11-02-2009, 04:10 PM

Hi

Not sure if anybody can help. I have established what the badges are in lounge mode. But can anybody tell me how you win them off friends. i.e. is hat trick hero the person who scores the quickest hat trick, most hat tricks, most goals (more than 3) or something else? Or is free kick the person who scores the most free kicks, longest free kick?

We started a lounge mode ages ago and my friend claimed a lot of badges and nobody sems to be able to get them off him (which is wierd as he is back at uni and hasnt played for months).

elwalid1983 · 13-02-2009, 02:58 AM

how do i play with my customized team online i played against people online with customized teams so its possible. can anyone help.thanks!!

dpd782004 · 27-02-2009, 01:08 AM

if anyone can help id be very appreciative. i am currently one of the unlucky few who suffers from this "unresponsive, choppy and running in water gameplay".

after having spoke with david rutter and he assures me that its not the servers im now trying to look for a problem with my connection.
now i am recieving about 6.5mb download speed out of 8mb connection. my upload is regularly 348kb.
my ping is usually around 40ms and when i ping the following address - ping europa.owo.com -t (which im reliably informed is located near the european servers) i get a ping of around 48ms.
i also tested for packet loss which was higher during peak hours than during the day but nothing that would interfere with my gameplay i dont think.
i have setup the dmz and forwarded the ports in my router settings but still i recieve this choppy gameplay. have i overlooked something here or do i look fine?

these problems only started for me after the first update in december and have been unable to play a ranked game, lag free, since then.
if anyone can shed any light or offer any help i would be most grateful.
oh and 1 more thing. it may be a clue to what my problem id but i regularly cant connect to other players. when i go to quick ranked i reckon 6 times out of 10 it fails to connect.

Hi there I wasn't really sure if this was the same thing as was being explained on the EA Sports World help thread, but I'll ask it here anyway:

My Gamertag is afroCHRIS and when I log onto eafootballworld.com, my profile is called afroCHRIS, but has none of my videos, or my avatar, or my credits.

When I type in afroCHRIS into the search, though, it comes up with 2 afroCHRIS's. One of them is my real profile (which I don't know how to access) and the other is the one which comes up when log on.

Can anyone help me out here?

It is. You need to set your gamertag as the default persona on EA SPORTS™ Football World (this is explained in the relevant thread in the first post).

Danny Taylor · 08-03-2009, 12:55 AM

The online problems thread was of no use to me, any help ?

It may still be dependant on your opponent as well, but if you are still having issues you will need to contact support so they can troubleshoot with you.

Danny Taylor · 08-03-2009, 01:32 AM

No I can't connect to ANYONE.

Well if I restart my router I can connect for my first game and my first game only.

EAUK_Adroit · 08-03-2009, 01:48 AM

Have you tried upgrading the router's firmware, or contacting your ISP about the problem?

Danny Taylor · 08-03-2009, 02:43 AM

Ive upgraded the firmware, its not an ISP problem either.

OK I just tried what was in the relevant thread and it still won't work. When I click on the drop down list of IDs, there is only one there and it is the one I don't want.

The thing is, the ID I am using right now is already linked to my gamertag and my gamertag is (as far as I can tell) set as my default persona.

The ID I can log into right now records all of my results, but nothing else. The other ID has all of my videos, photos, credits and my avatar on it.

How do I log into that account?

Contact support as it seems there may have been an issue when you linked your gamertag, they'll be able to "merge" the accounts.

This is the first FIFA I have purchased since 07 and am really struggling with the interface. I cannot figure out how to simply play an entire season in the premiership with man united

daherlihy · 12-03-2009, 03:18 PM

Can we get an FAQ in here about how the online ranked points system works (what values are used, breakdown on how points are calculated, etc)?

shaf1234 · 12-03-2009, 10:07 PM

Just wanted to know how you would check the players morale on normal mode. eg exhibition. Before you pick the team (squad) you should be able to see if the player is happy or sad or normal. but i cant seem to find this.
Can any1 help??

Thanks in advance.
