Default I do this to Man Utd players.

Ok so i usually go for teams 4.5 stars and down, basically because i support Arsenal and dont like being any of the 5 star teams except England in internationals.

If a guy picks Man Utd when i want to be Arsenal sometimes i put Clichy as CB incase he puts Goof Troop up front, it generally gives me as good a chance as stopping any other attacker because Clichy is lightening fast.

Also when i want to pick other teams.... sometimes i go for Udinese, Sunderland, Plymouth Argyle, L.A Galaxy etc.
If the guy im against goes to choose Man Utd when i pick one of a lower rated team i simply go to Man Utd aswell then if he doesnt quit i pick the same kit too.

Then the **** has a problem because he doesnt know who to pass to and one of my strengths is going on insane runs with players who have good agility so i dont bother passing. I have never lost one of these games and i hope it infuriates my opponents because they deserve it for trying to get an advantage on us lower team users.

I don't see this working for me...at ALL lol because I play an extremely passing game in which case same colored kits just would not work.

You sir, are a baboon!

My normal game is an extremely fast paced passing game being an Arsenal fan but i can also run around like a lunatic with players like Nasri, Adebayor, Walcott, Eduardo etc....

You do get more satisfaction beating a 5* team with a 4* team though!

let me rephrase this for you:

"i want to use my team, they want to use man united. they are so selfish not picking a team to suit me"

get over it - man united arent that good on this game. if you keep losing its cos you suck. just get better. imagine if someone did this to you every time you wanted to play as your team.

its **** like this that kills online and makes a lot of us resort to offline all the time

I pick United most of the time because I support them but it does get boring every time I do and people pick France or Chelsea or Barce. Even if I pick England its always France or Portugal.

Not many people like playing as championship teams or lower and I can't bare to pick ****, Chelsea or Liverpool. I guess that's the price the fans pay for being the best, everyone picks them and gets them hated.

Believe me the team was hated long before FIFA 09, the arrogance about them is what did it... no Livo no Chelsea,, how about Bayern, or Juve or any number of other 5 star teams? United = boring

its funny. when i was a kid i started supporting united when i was about 7. this would have been 1982. at that time liverpool was the team all the kids supported. they had been winning everything for years. they were the team all the glory hunters supported.

of course years later united have dominated again and liverpool are only good for winning some cups, lacking enough all year quality to win any league.

isnt it odd how a few years changes things.

to be honest i rarely play united, its mainly my hull MM sessions offline that occupies me. of course i play man united V who ever they are playing that week, a few times but thats it.

but stop the *****ing, chelsea, inter, juve, barca are all as good as united. remember that barca has 3 'ronaldos' up front by default!

I think why cruz called him pathetic is because rather than choosing the same kit and not passing he could chose a lower rated team and just play Man Utd. It's alot more satisfying when you beat Man Utd as a lower team and it frustrates alot more than playing in the same kit.

In my personal opinion I think if you have a problem with people choosing Manchester united then it's a bit hypocritical to play as them also. No-one is forcing you to play them, instead just back out of the game when they chose man utd and find someone else to play.


What EA need to do is introduce a new feature in fifa 10 that allows you to set rules before you pick teams or when you are starting a match e.g. 4* rated teams or lower so that when it comes to picking a club any team rated higher than 4*'s are not available. that way people who want to play more interesting and skill based games can set that rule and for those who just won't play unless they are one of the best teams can play each other.
