Default Why do people complain about *insert team name* abusers..?

I mean, really - if there's a team you don't like playing against, then just back out of the lobby and search again. Don't get stressed about it. The number of Man Utd "abusers" in ranked matches is probably directly proportional to the number of pre-pubescent glory-hunters who have jumped on the bandwagon and pray at the alter of that ruddy-faced alcoholic Alex Ferguson. I dunno, maybe they all hope he will give them a Werthers Original and invite them for a ride in his Mercedes.

Personally, as a lifelong Liverpool supporter the possibility of losing to The Scum is too much for me to bear, so that's why I never play against them. That and the almost man-love way they make Twinkletoes Ronaldo dance around like he's overdosed on Sunny Delight and disco-biscuits.

If we all agree never to play against them, then they will have no option but to play with themselves, which is probably what they are already doing ever since I mentioned Alex Ferguson.

PS - no offence!

Honestly you've got more chance talking sense into a brick wall.

And another thing. Why do people complain when they pick a three-star team and their opponent picks a five-star team? It's your choice to pick whatever team you choose, and the same goes for your opponent. If you are daft enough or arrogant enough to take on Barcelona using Brighton & Hove Albion, then best of luck to you. Just don't complain when your goalkeeper does his back in bending down to pick the ball out of the back of the net for the umpteenth time.

It can be very hard to find someone willing to play 3 star teams, people who only ever use 5 star teams often lack the most basic of skills, their whole game revolves around through balls and R2 holding.

Exactly my point. I tend to mix 'n' match the teams I use, but they are rarely below four-star teams. I like my players to be able to run in a straight line without falling over, and have basic balls skills sufficient to perform the occasional stepover. The lower-star teams seem to play like sunday leaguers and have all the ball control of a jellied eel.

If you prefer to play with low-star teams, then that's fine and dandy. If you want to play against teams of a similar rank then I'm afraid you'll just have to keep searching until you meet a like-minded person. If you accept a match up against a better team then you instantly forfeit your right to complain about it afterwards.

I'm not going to gimp my own game just so that you can play with some low-league outfit.

The amount of people who cry about Man Utd and Ronaldo abuse, then go and pickup Villa and Abongla*****/ blast endless balls at Carews face is amazing, then further go on to bleat how good they are for using a non 5 start team make me giggle
