you can take 4 gameplay cards into a game and you press select, then using the d pad to navigate.. then x to select.

not sure on the xbox version mate

Bought it this morning and its great. Won the first offline bronze tournment and won a handfull of online leauge games. Havent got anyone you could reconigse yet but im progressing nicely!

Really great add-on though that you can tell a lot of effort has gone into it!

One question i have though is there anyway of improving the created player in your team other than through training cards ?

Cheers, I never looked into using them but everyone is using them against me!!

I don't think there is anyway of making your custom player better mate other than the cards.

hmm it seems I can tweak my formation in game but nowhere else. also after the game it changes to 3 4 1 2 instead of my normal 4 4 2

Jamesbcd · 21 Mar 2009 at 13:04

if you go to team management -> lineup, you can change formation using the triggers..

Soulja · 21 Mar 2009 at 13:07

I know that

I'm talking about tweaking the formation. such as moving players positions about.

Jamesbcd · 21 Mar 2009 at 13:13

oh, my bad. yeh it's weird cause when you go to team management on the main menu.. only the tactics are shown :confused:

Wayn0r · 21 Mar 2009 at 13:44

isnt it something to do with your managers card? they have a formation on there.

Also, anyone else getting annoyed with how long it takes to get packs and sort them out? seems to be communicating with the EA servers each time you do something witha card. is that just me?

it was smooth yesterday but it takes an age today and is a pita.

Jamesbcd · 21 Mar 2009 at 13:56

mines fine atm

but i have noticed that when you play a league club match vs cpu.. it counts as a win on the online career stats. i would have thought only online games count towards that but meh, my score is going up either way.. :rolleyes:

glad its not just me then. EA should sort their server hardware out.

Cant actually do anything today. Its a bit pathetic.

Andybtsn · 21 Mar 2009 at 14:05

Anyone want to swap Robben for a Chelsea first 11 player? (I'm the one with Robben btw)

fergie128 · 21 Mar 2009 at 14:06

Got a 2nd Ballack earlier, but had no room in my trade deck :/

Andybtsn · 21 Mar 2009 at 14:09

In fact I'd swap the following for any of Chelsea XI...

Valdez, Distin, Lucio, Sagna, Bale, Muntari, Hitzslperger, De Rossi, Schnedier, Kone, Palladino. A lot have been upgraded too, Kone especially.

did you figure out how to private trade?

Nah but I would put some ridiculous buy it now price on to scare people off then whoever wanted him could find him easy.

If you play the AI offline, do you get more coins for a harder difficulty?

CliffyBiro · 21 Mar 2009 at 15:52

Bought today and played my 6th match.

My 1.5 star team against a 5 star team.

5-0 to me.

Bah to your big name players. Chemistry is all you need.

yeh, you do. when you finish a game, if you check the points screen, it gives you a breakdown of how you earned your points.. including difficulty level etc.
