The problem is compounded because player switching is too unresponsive, particularly after the last UT patch, so it makes it pretty impossible to get control of a player on the back post if you're controlling one over the pen spot.

So I'd call it a glitch as it's something that the AI seems consistently unable to deal with. If the keeper reacted more like, say, the Prem lvl keeper he's supposed to be those headers wouldn't be anywhere near as successful. However, he doesn't so they are.

Yeah, Andrew can you give us confirmation the EA is looking into a fix for this for 09 or maybe take it out for 2010 cheers m8

Strange, my keeper has no problems whatsoever collecting the back post corners, are you sure your pressing the correct button?

It kind of depends somtimes your keeper decides hes too hard to go for a ball and just stands there

Just to clarify, the ONLY issue you are having with ranked matches is when you use the rematch option right? Is this new since the Patch?

No. It is an old problem that I did not know before, but I noticed it for over a month ago. Yes, only rematches.

If I am going to explain it in simple terms. The games that create problems are rematches. I often play 3-4 matches against the same opponents, but when I check my stats several days later, the only first match recorded.

EDIT:

PIECE OF lalalala!

The same old problem happened again last night. I was playing my friend online (his PSN: Peblank) and we played at least 5 games. He won the first game and I won the last game. The games between me won 2 and him 1.

AND YES! WE USED REMATCH. HOW COME I NEVER GET THESE MATCHES REGISTERED???

PLEASE ANSWER?

[eddie0vedder]

do you check your stats on easportsworld?? if so rematches never show up there, i do rematches alot too and they always all go towards my w/l in player hub

[BabyjesusSK]

when are u going to post the fiwc final leaderbords?

[Dan Swans fan]

Why is the Millennium Stadium in the game? There is no elsh team - what's all that about? Why get rid of a team? Thought you were going forwards to include more, not backwards!

[blue166]

Why get rid of it, its a nice stadium, and hosted the FA Cup for what 8 years?

Keep it but add more

I can confirm a fix will be looked at for FIFA 10.

We are definitely looking into it. I don't have details on if/when a patch will be, but I can say it is one of the highest priority issues right now.

U need to download it from another store. Check ur fifa code and see if relates to the store you're dowloading the game

[cashew1984]

any news about the patch andrew?

[Atom_Smasher]

Hi. This post is about Interactive League Matches

This might have already been mentioned but the issue is that the majority, certainly always the first, aren't acually interactive league matches. What happens is that they are being registered as ranked play nows. This is evident from the ability to sign in a guest and from the pause menu, in game, it says something similar to quit to arena where in a proper i.a. league match it should say return to community area.

Basically we all know of the problem, and know some factors of increasing chances of getting an interactive match, but was wondering there was plans for a patch soon. afterall, this has been an issue since release cheers

[cashew1984]

Andrew: I'm having a problem here:

I put the trial version of Fifa Ultimate Team on background download. I canceled the download due to numerous bugs as a result of patch 1.02 (which include league specific sounds, scoreboards disappearing and other more important ones).

[Canceling the download was a stupid thing to do (I panicked), as the bugs haven't gone]

Now I want to download Ultimate Team again. But for some reason, its not giving me English language option before download (while other language options are available).

Is it a bug? How do I get the English language option back?

Initial Language Settings for Ultimate Team (Before Download)

agreed! i've only noticed this glitch since the trophy/ultimate team patch went live. i've managed to win 5 straight interactive league matches and have yet to be awarded the "win 5 interactive league matches" trophy. gutted!

every match i go into says it's an international friendly, be it an online ranked match, be a pro match, manager mode match, interactive league, or exhibition match.

feedback, EA?
