hahaha, isnt he on 450k or something
I thought I played quite a lot to get 259,000 but 450,000 is just insane! Mind you, Robert has amassed a whopping 537,000 but then I think that is literally all of his spare time spent playing on FIFA.

85 losses? That's really impressive Stewy, do you play a lot of single player matches or is that mostly an online record?
thats a pro record, everyone ive seen have between 1:1 and 4:1 at most

well Ligue 1 lacks decent centre mids, all they have are M'Vila, Sissokho and Marseille Diarra.
It also lacks decent left backs, they have Cissokho but i prefer abidal.
Basically it's a ligue 1 / france team.
if your playing with a CAM, Menez is a must. he is wasted at CM.
Sold my Ligue 1 and Brazil team to fund La Liga, found La Liga way more overpriced compared to even the EPL. The CMs they have are utter rubbish if you don't have 100k to splash out on a player. 
I now have 4 teams to use on rotation or when I get bored with them.
La Liga:
EPL:
Manchester:
Serie A:
After buying IF Adebayor to replace Torres I am now out of money; only have 2299 coins left so will have to win games to buy new players or use it to open packs.

Not sure what the problem is, but for the past 3 or 4 days I've had really bad lag in all UT games. The EA Servers have been really flaky for me as well, sometimes I can load FIFA and get into UT straight away, other times the loading icon spins on the left side of the screen but doesn't actually do anything and then there are times where it just keeps telling me that the EA Servers are unavailable.
I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think it's a problem at my end, I can still download just fine, I can still listen to music or stream videos and other games seem to be working online, it just seems to be FIFA, you'd think three months after release they'd have made it slightly more stable. I mean, I still get crashes at the team sheets while matches are loading and I still get console lock-ups occasionally when buying players, these are the bugs that they've apparently fixed but which are still in the game.
lol they are working on a router fix, i think this new fix may end up breaking some routers and fixing the ones with the problem, thats what happened last time.
fifa 10 UT - only works with d link
fifa 11 UT only works with d link
fifa 12 UT only works with belkin
oh and the whole loading circle is another dodgy programming thing from EA.
once you load up the game, go to the ultimate team bit on the main menu, wait 5 seconds, then click on ultimate team to load into ultimate team menu, once you click to go in, don't press anything.
i have found out that clicking on ultimate team straight away when there is already a circle on the page = no load. or if you press anything whilst loading = no load. it basically crashes.
the same goes for your watch list and trade pile.
if you go into auctions, wait 5 seconds then go into trade pile or watch list, never ever attempt to go into a menu or screen when there is a circle on the screen.
i used to have problems all the time, but if i wait 5 seconds = no problem.

that's an impressive record mate.
i cant remember mine, but i think im on roughly 260 wins and 60 losses with zero draws, never played offline.
but roughly 30 of those losses are DC's and the EA router bug, which i did not know about until i had racked up an immense 8 losses in a row, then i decided to change router settings and try again and again, nothing i changed on the router helped, ended up with about 20 losses before i decided to try an old crappy router i had which has only DC'ed me a few times. whereas with the belkin it was every game at full time.
after i racked up all those losses due to the bug, it really messed up my record. i could delete the club and start again, but i cant be bothered. oh and i have 39 online trophies. with say only roughly 30 losses, so my trophies > real losses.

To be honest it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they managed to bugger up everyone else's experience while "fixing" the current problems, it's EA after all, time and time again they've shown they're a bunch of incompetent buffoons. I still play FIFA but realistically what other choice to I have? PES? No thanks.
I've also had a few problems with receiving trade offers, if I decline a trade offer then my trade pile still has a [1] next to it. If I go in and take a look, it still shows me the trade offer which I've just rejected, then it tells me there's been an error and it will now exit back to the main menu. It's the same with the bids automatically updating, it's very hit and miss, sometimes it works fine but other times I don't get told that I've been outbid and I end up losing out as a result. It's such a frustrating experience but in a market where there are only two choices and one isn't a real choice you aren't left with many options.
It was mostly single matches because I had rubbish teams for ages but nowadays it's all tournies unless I don't have time.
Tbh I have never in any of those games played anyone as good as Anksy, Dan or Andy. The standard on here is insanely high considering how many people play, I know Tim and Diva get rolled over by those three (no offence) but I bet you wins more games than you lose online.

i never ever bother looking at trade offers, usually scammers, or idiots, tbh.
mind you i have never really put anyone decent up for trade yet who was highly sought after apart from IF Ramires. I have IF Glen Johnson who im only using because he is slowy increasing in price, waiting for the best time to sell him.
oh and the team loading screen is a bug btw it happened to me on play a friend. it's not a game freezer.
he managed to quit out and send me another invite and i was still on the loading screen, so even if the other player quits it didn't disconnect me and give me the win.
i cant believe this bug is still in the game, its been over a year now.

the standard on here is very high tbh, im 7 or 8 trophies unbeaten, play you and lose twice, in the final's you can tell the difference between them and the majority of people you get in the first 3 rounds, im still yet to be beaten in a final, normaly roll everyone over, all my losses so far have been in the 1st, and a couple in the 2nd against baddie teams, i say baddie, they are average at best.

Usually my mail comes directly to my phone so I know instantly if I have mail but for some reason yours didn't get pushed through. I've just checked my inbox and it's there waiting though, replied.

TOTW used to get announced on tuesday night, then pushed to wed morning at 10-11am for the past couple of weeks, 5 and a half hours to go and still no clue.
what else do you expect from EA, a company which killed off one of the best series ever made, Command and Conquer, seriously these guys need to be destroyed for the sake of gaming.

They've ruined C&C, don't get me wrong I've had some amazing nights playing Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath with friends but Command & Conquer 4 is dire. Red Alert 3 wasn't particularly amazing either.
I hope this week there'll be some Russian League IF's, they will compliment my new squad nicely, oh and Eto'o is unbelievable! I was going to get the similarly priced IF Doumbia but I think I made the better choice in Eto'o.

ever since EA took over they slowly killed the series.
no innovation at all, gameplay got worse and worse, they started making it too complicated. i loved the series and really liked Renegade the last version Westwood made.
it was epic an FPS where you needed teamplay in order to win, you needed people staying back and protecting the base whilst others flanked.
omg driving a stealth tank was awesome for sneak rushing, or picking up the sniper rifle as a stealth soldier and then pwning snipers with it.
EA have ruined it and now given it over to another studio, basically admitting they were terrible at making them.
