FIFA 09 - Cheating squad files

1/3 now have bloody Ronaldinho, Torres, Ronaldo in Exeter or other teams, how are they doing this?

Doing my head in playing online now.

My brother in law was showing me the same thing. He showed me a game against rangers. He saw the guy select rangers so to make it half interesting chose Celtic.

Only to find the rangers team had the best players in the world.

It needs sorting out.

It's done like this:

Delete squad files
Get a mate to invite you to a 1v1 ranked
He lets you win 1-0
You wait in MOM screen
He declines rematch
He scores one goal in arena and lets you know
You then choose rematch
Game kicks you to arena
You transfer peeps to your chosen team

It's not worth it though. Totally screws up the chemistry of your team. Very few edited teams are any good, and those that are would be better with a normal team.

Well I'm just gonna watch the beginning intro from now on and see what players on the team sheet then quit before 5mins, no loss against me.

I went on the EA FIFA forum and couldn't see anything about it

If they're editing previously poor teams, surely you can tell by the star rating?

EA forums dont want any discussion of it. And most won't tell you how to do it anyway.

Some guy did this to me the other day, he picked a 2.5 so I picked Nottingham Forest.

He couldn't handle the Earnshaw

Wow, I cant see a way of fixing this particular glitch. I can see how they can prevent it in future, but no way to stop people who have already done it from using their team

As I said, it appears to be more of a hinderence than anything.

Does the chemistry actually mean something then? What does it mean?

They've already said that it'll be fixed for 2010.

Is that a joke? How could anyone even figure that out :s

How does it? It's a pretty obscure work around to do it - not like it would be something that easy to test for.

Hey at least they've taken note of the problem and are fixing it. Admittedly it's too late for 09 and is a pain in the jacksie, but it shows that EA are listening.

You need to look harder, it's all over the place.

What is with that forum and the whole 'LALALALALALA' thing?

Very bizarre community. Seems a like a nursery over there.

I went to the feedback/bug section, couldn;t see anything on the front page.
