MYM Final

[hawkesy92]

Just wondering when the final is? I heard it was at i37...

also can it be default formations please, at ukesa Sensation played 5-5-0 and 7-1-2 which is pretty sad tbf

[wbaDY3]

Preferably id say have it at the end of august, nothing to do with me being on holiday or anything.

[KlAsH16]

have it at iseries or do it soon i dont want to go to two lans in august . sensation can use what he likes it wasnt rules , and i heard you used a custon against the dog jack stovel

[BARR2K]

I am waiting for confirmation of venue and date from EA

I doubt we will put restrictions on formations tbh

[pXClassic]

No restrictions on formations? what a joke. im sure 99% of the final 32 would prefer defaults that 1% is obviously sensation. pointless even turning up if there is no restrictions whats the point when every1 will have 7 defenders. ridiculous

[wbaDY3]

I doubt i can even be arsed if everyones gonna play 7 at the back.

[danielrh]

I think the competiton should be a fair as possible - so I'm in favour of banning cheat formations, eg 5 at the back, 1 in midfield, 4 up front, it makes the competition more like a cheat fest and the competition becomes cheap, and tacky - it's not unreasonable to have tough rules in a grand final making it a real test of champions.

[SeNSaTIoN9]

its not 7 at the back, the formation i used in the final at UKeSA had a flat line back 4, lot of you stop crying, if your "good" at the game you should be able to play with hundreds of defenders at the back, scoring isnt hard on fifa 09

Also these have been the rules since the start of the competition, why should the rules change for the final? At the end of the day, the rules should and will stick to the way they have been all year long

[pXClassic]

^ told you! sensation can you not undderstand that there is no skill in playing 4 strikers? defaults is the way forward and are rules that every1 agrees on and is the most fairest way there is. i really hope MYM do the right things in this case because i cant see myself attending if this is the case.

[danielrh]

in a football game competition if people are allowed to use outrageous formations (cheat formations or glitch formations) and there is no other word for it - it will put people off who want to and try to use realistic formations, and have a real proper contest.

The grand final is a good starting point to have firm and fifa fair play rules so that people compete properly instead of seeing players use cheat formations or glitch formations.

I for one don't like to see people relying on glitch or cheat formations.

End of the day, it doesn't matter what has skill and what doesn't. I would do anything in my power to win 5k, and why should players be deprived of doing something which they think have a better chance of winning them that sum of money. The excuse is lame, that so and so in defence or attack is lame, you can play that way yourself, but it is you whom choose not to do that. Like I said, players should have a even chance of winning and if it requires playing 10 at the back to be it

[SeNSaTIoN9]

danielrh, stop speaking outof your lalalala please, glitch and cheat formations, there is no cheating about it, EA supported the feature, and im sure they want to see it used in there own event which is MYM, rules have been this since the start, why are you only starting to complain about it now, because you can win using them, and your hoping you can with defaults, your quite frankly a plain big noob

I was talking in general terms - and if I was playing against a person who was using 7 at the back 1 in midfield and 2 up front, thats a cheat formation in my book - not reffering to anybody in particular - Sensation your comments have been noted

[SeNSaTIoN9]

My commentshave been noted, what does that mean? i called you a noob?

You are being unnecessarily offensive in your choice of words, have a bit of respect and debate in a mature fashion. There's a profanity filter anyway, so your curse words appear as 'lalalala' thus making it pointless to use that sort of language.

You have your opinions, I understand; however broadcast them in a much more dignified manner, then people will respond accordingly.

[SeNSaTIoN9]

fair enough zundrak, point taken, i just hate it when people start slagging me of becasuse i use a custom, both people can use them, and if your a good player you can deal with whatever is thrown at you!

I agree, an inhuman number of defenders like the Berlin wall barracading the goalposts is increasingly frustrating, yes, it's what happens in real football when the smaller teams take on the 'Big 4' but in a football simulation game, it just seems unsporting to do such a thing. Yes I see where you're coming from when you say

"if your a good player you can deal with whatever is thrown at you!"

But surely if you were at the MyM Grand Final, you would be playing top class players, and they would have the decency NOT to play such an absurd formation; i'm sure you don't 'park the bus' in your 1v1 games online, and experienced Fifa players will not do the same either. It's generally people who are out to have a laugh and mess around who play that sort of game. I don't have a problem with teams playing 2 CDM's with a flat back 4; but when it comes to about 7 Straight Defenders, it's out of line, for sure.

[pXClassic]

Makes me laugh the people who actually support custom formations if people actually had MYM they would know that defaults is fair and makes it a so much better tournament. sensation u only dont want defaults because you no u wont get a good finish with competative rules. exactly why i36 was the best tournament ....everyone supported default formations and the best players turned out on top.exactly how MYM should be done. and they put customs in so people like you sensation can concede less goals because your useless with a default 4 or 5 at the back.

i36 and FIWC we're changed to "defualts only" mainly becuase of what the players wanted.

The fact that EA have acknowledged the mistakes they have made with custom formations, i think its fairly clear that the these "7 at the back" "Anti Football" formations have become a common issue with this years version, people hate it so much they have just stopped playing.

The rules i would propose are just a basic ban on only being able to use formations that are in the game. However i think you should be allowed to edit custom tactics etc.

[SeNSaTIoN9]

why custom tactics and not formations, what ever suits you i guess bullard, bias much

[Allzo]

Sensation, if you're good at the game, you should be able to play with a realistic formation. 'Nuff said.

If I played with a custom formation, I think I would probably stand a better chance of winning the tournament, this doesn't mean I want them to be allowed. With £5,000 for the winner, I think the right person should win, and not someone who gets lucky throughout with 7 in defence, which lacks a lot of the skill needed to play with the standard formations.

For me personally anyway, I would see MYM as a 'n00b' tournament compared to the likes of i-series, FIWC & WCG if you allow the 'park the bus' custom formations.

...and Sensation, Daniel's an admin voicing his opionion, how about you show just a little respect for once?

[PaulJ92]

Some people! lol.

Custom formations on FIFA 09 take less skill to win a game: with 7 defenders anyone who can hold the Y button can win. Should just follow i36 - allow custom tactics however because that is adjusting how the team play; it isn't sticking 7 defenders in defence so you can just call another defender.. and then another.. and another.. - Default formations are those that should be used on FIFA09 if the tournament is as it should be; on skill.

Also - Dan is highly respected within the MYM community, is an admin within MYM.. and does a lot behind the scenes at MYM, so show him some respect - you're playing because he contributes to keeping MYM going and improving it.

[ChrisyBu11ard]

Sensation, i'm just going with what admins decided to use ay i36 and FIWC Grand Finals, 2 events which seemed a huge success from alot of the players.

Personally i couldn't give a damn what we use, i'll just get on with it and adapt.

If i had my way i'd recommend using defualt tactics but still being able to edit custom tactics so you still have some freedom or individuality with how you want to play. From kick off you have to pass the ball back....and thats pretty much it.

Structure wise, would recomend 8 groups of 4. Top 2 go through playing each other twice.

KO Stage, Best of 3 + Double elimination. Like I-Series was.....

Also is that another sly comment from you sensation....Jealous much?
