Answer me this. If he hadnt played against Villa and Sunderland would we still be having this discussion? Would you still be worried about how he looks?
Well sorry if I like to use the WHOLE SQUAD of the team I support instead of just the first choice xi.

I just think it's a lalalalalaeap creating a random player and sticking his name on the back of the shirt. The annoying thing is that it's volunteers who edit and give feedback on the players - actual Manchester United 'supporters' who have just ignored him.

Honestly, I wouldn't have been too bothered if he'd not made any first team appearances this season, I'd still have used him but not as much, but the fact is that he has. It's got nothing to do with the goals that he scored.

And you think Macheda is the only player they have done that to? Nope.
You said it yourself. a by product of having a bunch of "fans" who havent got a clue.

Then you are the only manchester united supporter who can say that. You might even be the only person outside the club who knew his name before the villa game.

This is the only person that makes a decent argument on this thread, i can see where Supers coming from, but you gotta remember that their is more than 1 team then just Man Utd, lol, or not, they cant make every player as realistic and life-like, they have a year to produce a game, you gotta think of everything their improving, theirs a lot more than player height, they have the gameplay, they work with EVERYTHING, and it takes a long time, and tbh, EA do well to make it as good a game as it is, in a year, think of EVERYTHING they have to do in a year.

Height and weight make a lot of difference in FIFA, actually. Have you tried playing with him? It's nothing like him. To be fair though, when EA do make an effort, they do a bloody good job of it. I'm confident that it will be fixed in 2010, but it would be nice to have an end-of-season update like they had the February one.

I guess from this thread I was hoping that other people would name players from other teams who aren't made accurately (like Fat Ronaldo).

No, I'm not the only United supporter who can say that. Loads of supporters watch and keep up to date with the reserves.

How do you feel for us lower league fans, none of them look real. don't see us complaining.

Macheda was unknown when fifa came out, probably was still a school kid

True. I hate playing with 5* teams because all the abusers pick them. At least with lower star teams it's harder to abuse.

Agree with T-Mills-85 - one of the few guys on here whose posts make any sense and a positive contribution.

You should see some of the Birmingham players if you are concerned about how they look.....point is it's how they (or rather YOU) play.

This the the same as those who go on about boots and new strips and the colour of the blue at Stamford Bridge - WHO CARES! Better EA spend their time developing game play and fixing bugs

Guys please, im blushing .

Agree with your post though. More bugs fixed please. I do wonder how people notice some of the stuff they complain about. i tend to keep my eyes on the ball.

Are Man United not a 5 star team? And does Macheda, the player in question not play for them? I think you are talking lalalalalalalala my friend. And I'd never heard of Macheda, and I bet you didn't either. And don't say I'm a fairweather fan. The only Italian I'd heard of was Daniele Petrucci.

Macheda should at least get a boost, not a whole lot, bust just enough to be satisfactory

Well there you have it, a man utd fan that isnt afraid to say he hadn't heard of macheda before the villa game. Well done sir.

I don't think its anything to be ashamed of. The match of the day guys were as shocked as the rest of the country. I just find it hilarious that some man utd fans refuse to admit it.

Face it, he is a no-one. He popped up scored a good goal, now he back to obscurity. Unless he delivers week in week out, he will just be another loan signing for Plymouth, then move on to some league 2 side on a permanent deal.

oh come on. 1 class goal and 1 fluke.

as a united fan he is still unproven imo.
