Hyper World League- FIFA 10

[RunningMild]

League Name: Hyper World League
Password: Hyper

Called the Hyper World League to differentiate it from the other one, which was A-League only. Also, Hyper Champions League didn't fit. :mad:

Rules:

- Max. number of teams is 12. I don't think we'll have that many, but just in case...
- Everyone plays each other four times, and the half length is the standard 6 mins.
- Play as any club team that you want. It doesn't matter if we have doubles, because the teams are totally different on match day anyway.
- League will kick off in 2010, giving you until December 31st to sign up.

Cool, I will choose Arsenal.

I have been practicing proofreader, I hope you are ready :p

[fearofthesky]

I'll take Everton! I haven't been practicing much...so I better get into it!

[autologic]

I'm in. I'll take Manchester City.

[Jay]

I'm a Chelsea man, so I'll stick with them.

[grimace06]

Inter Milan, bitches.

[Jay]

Inter Milan, bitches.

Yes. Yes they are. :p

[Jabbz]

I'm a Man U man, so I'll take them...... Or Australia. I don't care either way as I'm expecting to hold the ladder up on my shoulders.

Check the first post again, I just clarified some of the rules in response to that.

[proofreeder]

He means an Australian team, as in A-League... ha ha.

Ha ha, I haven't practiced much unfortunately, I wish I had been, I'm sure you will thraxsh me now... did that work?

I dunno if I'll get live in time, but I'll give it my best shot :) Hopefully if I don't, they'll be another round.

I'll take Brazil.

Thanks for organizing Mr M, but wouldn't it have been better to call it "Hyper Champions League"?

Also, please PM Cian with an invite :D:D:D

Edit: Actually, I have a lot of stuff going on I should be focussing on this month, so I probably won't be in, wouldn't want to hold up the league waiting on my games. Hope everyone has fun, let me know how the games go! Hope to play everyone in the next round :)

;) 5char

[Jabbz]

No, I meant Australia. As their skill levels is generally less than other club teams people pick! :D

Give me Man U then please :)

[RunningMild]

Since only one person has signed up, I'm extending the deadline indefinitely to allow people to get back from their holidays.

[Thraxas]

Whoops, I forgot to sign up. I have now :-)

[Jabbz]

I thought I signed up?! Isn't it just enough here?

How do I sign up then?

[autologic]

you do it in the game. In the Xbox Live menus on Fifa there will be a section for leagues and you have the option to search by name, then you use the password to join and pick your team.

[fearofthesky]

I am registered! Oh, BTW, the password is hyper. No capitalization, I tried it that way and it didn't work!

[Spazzallo]

I shall sign up tomorrow after work. In the mean time I will decide if I want to destroy people with Pato or Anelka ;).

[Jabbz]

So.... Errrr... Are we doing this? Do we need numbers? I'm sure I could get a few friends to play if we do... And granted they beat me 99% of the time :( It will just solidify my bottom position I forecast.

[Blue]

Liverpool, if we're doing this. I'll sign up when I get Gold early next week.

No-one's signing up! Last time I checked there were only 5 or so members, and most of the people who posted in this thread showing interest still hadn't signed up. Getting mixed signals here people... ;)

That was a few weeks ago though, so I'll check again and see if it's changed.

[Thraxas]

I'm pretty sure I signed up.

[RunningMild]

Okay, the only people who expressed interest but haven't signed up yet are Jay, Tonez and Blue, so it's not as bad as when I last checked.

Since Blue mentioned that he'll get Gold early next week, we'll start the league as soon as he's signed up. Tethered Swimming for anyone who hasn't signed up by then. ;)

[Blue]

Actually, it turns out I have Gold already. :/

So, I'll sign up in an hour. Who wants to play me tonight? My tag is 'Blue AUS'. Add me, and send me a message when you're up for a match.

Haven't played this for ages, so I'm not expecting much, but hopefully the years of playing have given me some sort of built-up instinct.

I added you. If I havent played anyone, just message me, even if I'm on a different game.

[Blue]

Okay, I'll jump on now.

[grimace06]

Some time tomorrow I will play someone in this league on the proviso my brother doesn't run off with Fifa.

[Blue]

Jabbz and I just had a four-game hit-out. Results?

The first game involved Jabbz easing into gear, and suffering a 3-0 loss.

The second, however, was a distinct turnaround. Jabbz put me away 3-1, after I was reduced to ten men in a very commanding performance.

Game three was a blinder. After I once again had a defender sent off, I thought it was over, until Jabbz sacrificed Vidic in the very next passage of play. Tied at 2-2 at the eighty minute mark, I managed to pull a last-minute winner out of the bag to snare the victory.

By the fourth and final game, Jabbz had clearly blown his load, but scored a late blinder to tear my cleansheet away from me in the final minutes of our 5-1 clash.

So, that's our four games taken care of, and it was some fun shit. Cheers Jabbz. So, who's next?

[Jabbz]

Man, those 4 games were just awesome, and super lag free. I have to say, my favourite was the third, both down to 10 men and running and gunning.

I am still proud of my conversion rate - 40% or so. Maybe a bit less. But pretty good, and Berbatov will never play for me in fifa, unless I have injuries....

I would have won if I hadn't have had Vidic get sent off..... and it would have been 2-2. BUT! Game 4... I was smashed!

Very good game, really had a good time. Lets do it again!

[Spazzallo]

I'm generaly up for a game. Should be on tonight and tomorrow night :).

[RunningMild]

I'll see if I can catch you at those times then.

Ditto to both of you, sometime tomorrow or the evening. Tonight is dedicated to watching cricket, and sleeping.

[Thraxas]

I think I just added everyone who wasn't already on my friends list. Up for playing whenever I'm on, even if in another game. Just message me.

[fearofthesky]

THE CRICKET!?

****!

*fumbles for remote*

I'll add Blue, Jabbz and proofreader tonight. Think I have added everyone else...

[RunningMild]

THE CRICKET!?

****!

*fumbles for remote*

'No, my one weakness!'

BTW, what's that game in your sig with the picture of a fork?

Very good game, really had a good time. Lets do it again!Yeah, that third was ****ing epic. Although I still would have finished you off, even if you did have Vidic. >_>

Your conversion rate was quite good, 35-40%. As in, 2 goals from 5 shots on target or so. For the record: For anyone facing me, I'm awful at converting opportunities. In just about all four game I had approximately 20 shots, with around 15 on target, and only managed one, three, three and six goals. Disgraceful striking. If I could shoot straight, I'd be a powerhouse. :p

Not to mention quite often having more than 55% possession against me. But thats how I play, I cannot seem to hold the ball, I just want to attack!

[RunningMild]

@ Jabbz- You're better than you give yourself credit for. 2-1 victory! I may shake things up in our next game...

I probably shouldn't be asking this since Owen scored the winner, but why did you say you'll never play Berbatov?

(In case anyone's wondering, our other game was 3-1 or somesuch. All I remember is that Benzema scored an epic hat trick. :p)

Speed, he is too slow for my liking. I like to run and gun, its boring playing posession. Thats the only reason. And I think it was 3-0. I escaped with a last gasp winner, which made me happy. Was a great game!

[fearofthesky]

BTW, what's that game in your sig with the picture of a fork?

Magic: The Gathering. Such an awesome nostalgia trip to when I used to defend the nerds at school who would get bullied for playing it in the schoolyard. Ah, memories.

ONTOPIC! I have to play FIFA more, it is awesome but I need to practice! Sorry I couldn't play the other night btw M, I was too drunk for it anyway. Can I just say Rock Band is awesome when pissed?

[RunningMild]

I came out of my matches with Autologic with a win, a draw, and two losses. I was glad to get that win coz he was bloody tough!

By the way Auto, I believe Adebayor committed about 50 unpaid offside penalties in that third game, including that first goal! :mad:

Seriously, you should have heard me during that passage of play. "Oh no, he's through! Ah never mind, that's a mile offside. Stop cartwheeling you idiot, it's gonna be called back! WHAT THE ****! It's a goal? Never mind, we'll bounce back from this and... ANOTHER GOAL?! HOW THE **** DID THAT GUY RUN THROUGH THREE DEFENDERS?!!!" And it was pretty much like that for the rest of the game. :p

Also funny how you got all the soft frees in that game, and then I got all the soft frees in the next game which I ended up winning. Damn refs trying to be heroes and such...

[autologic]

I love a good soft free from 25 yards out :D. I should have converted a couple of them though :(

I got pretty lucky in that first game. I was so rusty in the first half, and that Tevez cross that floated in was so lucky.

It was great to play some smooth online games, though. Hit me up for some non-League games anytime :D

[Blue]

Okay, I'll be free tonight, so if anyone wants to have a few games, let me know.

[Jabbz]

Finished my 4 matches against Mr M. I won 1, drew 1 and lost 2. Some really good close games. I think I'm proud of my efforts, because I've been aggressive. And thats how I like my football - fast, furious and fun! :D

Yeah, they were very close games. You're much tougher than you claim to be! :p

[RunningMild]

I just checked and discovered that the only people I haven't played yet are fearofthesky, Spaz, Thraxas and Blue. Are you guys still interested in playing? I feel like finishing this off.

[Thraxas]

Yeah... I'm still interested... I've just been crazy busy lately, if you see me online I'll definitely play

[RunningMild]

Yeah, I think a lot of people took time off to play some of the January blockbusters, but there seems to be a quiet point in the release date calendar. :p

[Spazzallo]

I'm up for it. I'm hardly online though :(.
