Hey guys, I know the last league went pretty **** up last time towards the end and I hold my hands up for that, I was really busy with other stuff at the time and never had chance to administrate and chase people up and whatnot.
I'm going to be fully committed to this one, even so things went sour towards the end, the league was still a success in my eyes (I won it :D) and the majority of people played most of their games possible. As usual some people weren’t bothered and rarely played, which in turn affects everyone else.

The league table and info can still be found here:

http://ocuk.swychmedia.com/

if any newbies want to read about the last league, look here, you'll find a lot of useful information:

I would imagine the same concept will be used as last time, teams drawn randomly from a certain star. Hopefully Rumple will help me again so he can sort this stuff out.

Let me know if you’re interested and we'll get the ball rolling.

I'll need to speak to Hencore also with regards to the website as he and swychmedia did an awesome job with that.

I did want to get a EURO2008 league going but there just wasn't enough interest as I think most people kept FIFA rather than going onto Euro so hopefully you'll all still have your copies. I still need to buy a new one.

I imagine this will be the last league before FIFA 2009 comes out so let's make it a good 'un!

Ta

Andy

Match Rules & Info

League Name: OcUK League 2
Abbreviation: ocuk3
Password: Winner

Joining the League

Load FIFA 08 up > Xbox Live > Online Leagues > Search Leagues > Click on League name or Abbreviation > Input above Name and Password > Choose your allocated team > DONE!

Playing matches

Once you've joined the league your presented with a basic table. This is where you will play you matches, the simple scenario is seeing an opposition online (So YES or NO) click on their name and "Invite to League Match". NOTE: No one wants to be pestered with invites whilst playing matches so if you press LB on your pad it will bring up the users gamercard and tell you what they're doing. If it says they're in a match, wait for them to finish.
Also if you scroll across to the right on a certain player, "Games Left" will have either a - or a 1 next to it, - means your yet to play the person, 1 means you need to play them. Don't be afraid to try inviting someone to a match you think you've played, the league will not let the game go a head if you've played them already.

Once match is finished

Although we use the FIFA league online we also record results on here and have our own table (soon to be setup) PLEASE INPUT YOUR SCORES IN A RED FONT COLOUR ONCE YOU;VE FINISHED A GAME, ONLY ONE OF YOU NEED TO DO IT. I have to record all results and it isn't easy so please help me out a bit by remembering to do it!

E.G

Andybtsn 9 - 0 Timbrad

Simple ;)

I am truly awful at this game now, not that I was ever any good anyway.

I will be back to punish you lot come FIFA 09 though. :p
 
I hope to be involved again but am currently in the process of moving and things are hectic for the next couple weeks. If the xbox stays here this weekend I'm in for sure.

Smaller groups into a knockout round may help with dropouts/loss of interest.
 
Aye, no problems.

I really enjoyed one big league as the main reason I want to organise this is again is that I want to play loads of matches, not bothered if I win or not I just enjoy the games. I played over 28 games last time and it was great.
 
And me.

I think the problem with the old league was that it was too big, and the people (like me) who couldn't play the first weekend where at least half of the table played each other, were always playing catch up.

To be fair dude, you had plenty of opportunites to play but you never seemed to be online, or you had band commitments IIRC?

I can add you but I don't want the same happening really, apart from two people you played the least number of games.

The league was that big to stop there being problems with playing people, with 31 people in the league there was always someone to play.

Yea it was that first week I couldn't play as many games as I wanted to.

When I was on the following weekend there was no one online in the league at all, then the asses at Microsoft suspended my account which basically ended the league for me as when I finally got back people had moved onto EURO2008 and GTA4.
 
Count me in again as well.

Are we going to have a weekly game quota to try and keep it going but stop it stagnating at the same time?
