The Official AVF FIFA League.

Edit: Please see this link for information on the teams taken and the waiting list for the league http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=724664

Hi Fifa Fans,

I really liked the OGC Fifa league that TheDarkDestroyer has set up for OGC members, and thought it would be nice to set up a league for non-ogc members. (I have spoken to DarkDestroyer- so don't worry OGCers- Im not stealing his idea!)

I have some initial ideas, but would like to throw it out there to the soon to be league members to come up with suggestions to.

Initial Ground rules:

Max 20 league members(Need a reasonable number for a practical fixture list!)
No jokers- serious FIFA gamers only please
Must be able to play the fixtured games every week

When the 20 people interested have joined the league (well 19 – im included in the league!) we can all have discussions and come up with the final league rules and format etc.

Some things we can discuss- name of league, amount of games to play each week, how to make sure there are no cheaters (deliberately saying wrong result) etc (As League Creator, my word will be final- so the discussions don't go round and round and round!)

Also we could set up addititional mini cup tournaments like in the real football world.

Once we have chosen the 20 league members, we will need to each choose a different real world team (no duplicate teams allowed) and then I can draw up a league table and fixture list.

Then we each play the relevant match on the fixture list and treat it like a real world league.

So I throw it open to you my fellow FIFA 08 fans… the 19 other league members need to be decided!

So remember- only gamers who are serious about this need apply- no jokers/timewasters/immature kiddies etc.

 

I usually prefer pes but may get both if the shooting doesn't feel so predetermined and has a bit of variety to it.

Can I have Man Utd please, massive red. How many players on one team does it support? If we had two people that wanted to be the same team could they team up and play as one team? for example could Sole (I know your a Leicester man) and I play together as Utd against the others?

 

Think i will skip this one, i tried playing FIFA 07 on the 360 and the only button i could seem to find was "hack"

 

Thats a very good question, I dont know myself if you will be able to do 2v1 (or 2v2) online. Hopefully someone else knows! But you've asked first, so you get to be Man Utd!

 

Thanks mate, I couldn't see myself playing as Liverpool or Chelsea. Who are you going for?

 

Well im a Watford fan, so should probably go with them! but as they might not be able to compete with all the premiership/champions league teams everyone else will choose, i may have to go premiership. I'l take Newcastle, but if any die hard geordies out there want to be them, i wont mind picking a different team!

 

hey i'll take up the reds with ya Ads but if not i'll have to go with Arsenal

 

Call yourself a Utd fan? What Utd fan would want to be the Gooners, Tottenham I could understand.

Your connection would probably dropout mid game.lol Have you thought about getting a new router?

 

yeah might just bite the bullet and get a fairly decent wired one from Maplin's. I could be tempted to use Wigan or Pompey tho as of yet i'm undecided

 

Or get a wireless modem router. Are you using a modem plugged into a router rather than an all in one. If I couldn't have Utd I would have gone for Tottenham.

 

no i'm using what is being reffered to as a crappy USB key lol.

good purchase http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SWEEX-BROADBA...ryZ44997QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

Let's not go off topic on this thread. Go to your thread or the warhawk one as I have replied to you in those.

 

ah ok. Looks like it could be Spurs after all. So sign me up!

 

Cheers guys

I'l update the list as we go along:

(PSN Name listed, Forum name in brackets if different.)

Gunhawk (T71789) - Newcastle (me)
Adails - Man Utd
Barmelo - Tottenham Hotspur
AJUK (avazz) - Liverpool

 

I'll play as liverpool

 

I'd be interested in joining the only problem is I don't play every night just 2-3 times a week, how often would these games be played ?

Rich.

PS: pencil me in as Chelsea, I'm not a supporter but will need all the help I can get.

 

Yep please

QPR for me (Queens Park Rangers)


PSN : mgzs120 Clan : DOG

 

Dont worry it wouldnt be an every night thing, no more than 2-3 times a week, probably only 2 times a week. (Weekend and midweek game as in real life)


Pencilled in!

(PSN Name listed, Forum name in brackets if different.)

Gunhawk (T71789) - Newcastle
Adails - Man Utd
Barmelo - Tottenham Hotspur
AJUK (avazz) - Liverpool
RichGee (RichG) - Chelsea
dan1991 - Portsmouth

 

if its 2 times a week ill join as portsmouth

 

i'm willing to change if a real spurs fan comes along. But i'm in anyway!

 

Yeah im the same with Newcastle, if a someone wanted to be them i wouldnt have a problem changing either.
Dan1991 your added on the list

 

Will we need headsets when playing ?

Also you may want to delete mgzs120 (daviddenise24) - QPR, I here they have been banned from this forum for good.

Rich.

 

Thanks for the news on daviddenise24, didnt notice that! Well i'l take him off the list now.

As for headsets, I havent got one myself, so I wont personally be using one. But im sure if your opponent has one then you can both use it.

Fingers crossed the demo comes out today/tomorrow...get some practise in on the new version!

 

Im a real spurs fan, any chance of a swap?

 

Sorry to be a pain but can I change my team ?

I don't really like Chelsea (sorry to any Chelsea fans) I only picked them because Man U were picked, can I change to Barcelona

I promise that will be my final decision.

Rich.

 

Count me in.....I really can't pick Donny Rovers cos I'll get hammered week in week out by all these Premier League teams so I'll pick Real Madrid

Won't be able to play till early October tho as I will be in the Caribbean over the release date

 

If you want mate and if the game supports it we could play together as Utd? I don't think it would be considered an advantage to have 2 players v 1, providing that's ok with T71789.

 

Its all good with me, as long as the game has the ability to do it, i dont see it being a problem.

I'l post up an updated list later tonight when Barmelo has replied to cobue. Then i'l add tigerblade onto the list as Real Madrid.

We'l have to decide a date to officially start the league, as im sure we'l all want a few days practising and getting used to the new version!

Dont worry Tigerblade... we can do a LA Galaxy and delay your games for a couple of weeks to compensate your holiday!

 

Just got the Pm yer i'll change teams. Don't know who tho . Ads if you backtrack i already requested the 2nd possible Man U position lol. If it comes down to it tho i'll go with Fulham

 

lol but your connection sucks.lol Are you getting it sorted?

EDIT: Just read you got it sorted. You did ask first.
