Really like the sound of that, be really cool. Except the last one, if I lose I do not want to sit there whilst a guy who beat me with sweaty goals celebrate. Also as it's EA what would happen is you watching the celebrations and when you go back to the FUT Menu you get the "Lost connection, returning you to Main Menu".
I'm sure they could get around it somehow, one player can watch the celebration while the other can move onto the next screen.
And fair point, lol, *Final whistle blows* 2-1! You've won! *skip* "Disconnected from EA servers" 'YOU LOSE!'

I've had my keeper sent off a few times online. Also had a few games where they opposing keeper didn't get sent off and definitely should have! Guess its a bit random?
You're fuelling it by quoting him Willy! He's ignored
I'm certainly not buying a PS3 to play some badkid, not even buying one to play in this ridiculous VG tourney!
Aha. What's your point?

I don't get *all* of the hate for Sonny. Sometimes he can be an idiot, sometimes he talks too much and sometimes his advice absolutely stinks but he doesn't deserve abuse for every post he makes.
In this thread he's less bad but he he speaks as if he's some sort of authority on anything and everything and it gets quite tedious and when you have a different opinion you're just wrong.
I can see why he gets all the abuse because he comes across as a smug 15 year old **** tbph.
I think Sonny has toned it down a lot in the past few weeks. He offers great advice for 4-2-2-2. The only thing with Sonny is he tends to call players that he hasn't used rubbish because their stats don't fit into his style. Also his infatuation with height of players.

He is a bit hypocritical with his advice, the whole Brazilian keepers thing was funny.
Sonny, were you having an off-day against me the other week or is that how you always play? Not trash talking or anything, I'm genuinely interested in the way you play the game. I wouldn't consider myself to be in the top-tier of players, more average, my online record is 292-0-164 with 17 online trophies which is painstakingly average if we're honest. I was expecting you to absolutely steamroller me based on the posts I've seen here from you but in my opinion it was a much closer affair?
A narrow win for you and then a draw in a game which you equalised very late on, I thought I'd be a few goals down by half time but it wasn't the case, in fact the keeper was rarely tested and it was more of a midfield battle if I remember rightly? You don't seem to dribble much unless it's down the flank, you don't try and take players on, rather passing backward or sideways to another player instead of trying to pass a man, it's quite a cautious style if I'm honest, would that be a fair assessment?
Also you don't seem to play with much flair, it's almost like a Sam Allardyce team of hitting the target man, you did open me up on a couple of occasions only to fail with the finish but on the whole I was expecting to be skilled to death when it was mainly pass, pass, pass around the back four and midfield for much of the game.

Just played the most boring game of my life. Guy with a full Brazilian team all no names so probably about 400 BIN players. 433 all right formation. I went 1-0 up with a freekick. The guy was a great and experienced player don't get me wrong. That's why he won. He knew he couldn't break my defense down often so just sat in front of them passing all day really struggled to get the ball. Then he knew when he could score so he took is whole 3 shots and scored all of them. 
Players who just play purely for the win make the game boring IMO.
Players who just play purely for the win make the game boring IMO.Usually happens about 3/4 times a game for me. It will switch to a player BEHIND the attacker while leaving the one i wanted to switch to running about like a numpty. Or it will just switch to some completly random player.
The passing is bugged. It seems full power passes from your own box just trickle away where as a tap of y or x in the oponents half goes for miles. It's just really hard to weigh a pass now. Sometimes i can tap y and get a 30 yard through ball through the eye of a needle. Other times I try a long pass and it just rolls to thier closest player.

Half the time the passes don't go where I want them to, like I'm holding the stick diagonally forward and right and the pass just goes to the right instead of forward and right. ******* ****.
