Custom cups!?! And other stuff...

Hi all!

I pretty much like the game, however I do have some concerns. Number 1: Why are we not able to create our own cups, tournaments and leagues? I would like to be able to create a competition where I get to decide everything. I wanna decide how many teams, how many human controlled teams (not just the abillity to have a maximum of 8 humans as in previous FIFAs), if there is a group stage first with for example 2 groups of 5 teams or 8 groups of 4 teams or whatever, or maybe I just want a cup with knockout matches. Back in -94 there was this great game on Amiga called Sensible World of Soccer where you could decide eveything.

I mean sure it is fun the play the CPU a couple of times, but the real fun is to beat your friend in the final of an all night cup. As it is now my and my mates will waste tons of papers and pencils writing down all the results.

Number 2: It cant be that hard to implent the right starting elevens and squads for a team in Sweden. For example "my" team Malmö FF has half the the starting eleven wrong, plus the other half of the eleven are in the wrong postions. And the transfer of last years best striker in Norway Tobias Grahn that came to Malmö in June isn´t in the game?!?! Another concern is the ratings of the players and teams. For example IFK Göteborg is rated as the best team in Sweden, come on!! That was seven years ago. Last year they had to qualify to stay in Allsvenskan, this year they will end up like 7th or something. Peter Ijeh was last years best goalscorer with 24 goals in 23 matches, he has at rating of 36?!? at least 20 less than the avrege rating of the rest of the Malmö players. That is odd.

Number 3: Some gameplay issues. The other two concerns are just some timetaking things that aren´t that hard to implent, the gamelplay however is maybe a bit harder, but here are my only main concerns on gamelplay: The goalies must get better, especially on crosses. Many times the attacker just stands beside the goalie and jumps to head the ball in, and the goalie just stands there and looks as if nothing is going on.

I think the defense play has got a lot better this year, it is really hard to get goal attempts. And that is a good thing. However it is almost impossible to take on a defender 1 on 1. Last years FIFA it has been to easy now it is too hard. I want something in between.

Just my three concers, other than that all good...

im not to sure if that is EA's faults getting the teams right because they got people from the fifa community to do them usually a fan of the club

and you can make your own cups but not leagues

you just click on a cup then replace the teams in the cup and then thats all there is to it

Yes, you can edit for example the FA Cup and play it with Spanish teams. But that is all you can do. You can´t decide anything else. What if I wanna play a cup with just 8 teams, if I want a group stage like Champions League or The World Cup? I wanna decide exactly everything. How many meetings in the group, how many teams, how many teams makes it to the knockout round? I don´t want to be restricted to play the Swedish cup or the Spanish Cup or whatever. I want my own cup, league or tournament. That isn´t possible, now is it? Why?

to be totally honest I dont care if you can't edit the cups. I am more concerned with the gameplay and accurate teams and better leagues..I would like to see the Turkish League in their or at least the top 3 teams in the TSL. Not in it this year are Fenerbahce and Besiktas. I dont think ea needs to work on graphics. They should just focus on the gameplay from now on. But its good to create your own cup so you can setup tournaments with your friends. Just my 2 cents. :)

Thats insane, why do EA Sports include this option in other editions and then take it out for this one?

My reaction to this latest stunt goes like this .... :o :f***: :(

I TOTALLY agree with you :rockman: , the Turkish League has become more popular since van Hooijdonk came in.

Every year EA takes out an option that was in an old game and puts in a new opition. My question is, WHY CAN"T THEY PUT ALL THE OPTIONS IN ONE GAME?!!!!!! It'll make the games alot better!
When will they understand? :f***: :kader:

I have mentioned the lack of league options in my own thread and I do find it a little insulting that EA leave this out. The real reason why features come and go is so the game can be reinvented and marketed for the next year. Don't get me wrong I love the game but hey it's business and let's wake up to the reality of it. If EA bring out a comprehensive and easy to use Creation Centre then we have a good game on our hands.
