Asda and shops like that usually give you as low a price they can. They don't go to Heinz and buy all of their beans for a low price and then stick them up at £100 a tin.

they do actually, they buy milk from farmers at a ridiculously low rate, basically say this is how much we are going to pay you, take it or leave it, the dairy farmer has no option but to sell, they then price fix with tesco, sainsbury's etc.

Sliht difference between a massive supermarket chain and some guy playing Fifa..

Unless you walk around the house slapping your arse and grinning?

da da da da da ching ching!

You're always saying you are good, great infact and how you don't need IF's to supplement your skills as you're 170-30, 10 of which were DC's and 20 of which were them freezing the game or penalties.. why do you need the IF's and monies?

i want to make my team better? duh :confused:
 
Yeah but it's still business vs a game.

Business isn't about having fun.
You're not looking to expand in FIFA, take over other teams etc.

There is barely any comparison
 
Anyone else having issues with the web app? Whenever I hit 'Manage your Team' it just seems to refresh the page

its a marketplace like any other, the point is its a virtual marketplace, i want to do well within the virtual marketplace and well within the game.

i dont see how it is any different, im looking to expand my squads and buy more players.

the market within the game is setup to be like a market within the real world, all of the normal rules apply, supply and demand.

This is why I think Kill is awesome :D

To be honest Sonny, you can do whatever the **** you like on PS3.
If you tried that crap on the Xbox, I expect a lot of the users here would ignore/shun you.

Obviously, you need the coins to get the best players to supplement your AMAZING skills, but maybe the rest of us are happy as we are.

you think he is awesome because he doesnt have a clue how asda operate and price fix?

wow :confused:

Yes but the milk is still affordable to the customers. You're taking something which is worth say 50K and then buying all of them and selling them all at 100K most casual players don't have 100K knocking about for one player, most peoples teams don't even cost that.

NO APOLOGY. :p

Yes everyone will be aware of that but its not taking all of the milk in the world and charging extortionate prices. Also have you heard of "fairtrade" where they buy the milk and sell it for pretty much the same price they bought it for of farmers

Aye, that's more me than the players though. With 3 at the back, I'm gonna be as aggressive as I can ;)

I was especially proud of my lob goal last night. Outside the box and it hit the back of the net before it hit the ground!
Easier cos your keeper was miles out, but still perfectly weighted.

Oops I already did though :eek:

Sonny does come up with some weird stuff though, He has his moments of joy with saying good stuff and then boom, the mental side comes out for a day ;)

Yeah I was just thinking that too. :p

I was gonna say let's calm it down a bit guys he doesn't deserve all this abuse, then he comes out with some of his trademark stuff and I'm back to thinking he's a bit of a Kanoute.

So why'd you give links to a huge scandal as proof that price fixing is in supermarkets. By their very nature scandals are morally or legally wrong so for you to say it's okay to do it in FIFA because it happens in supermarkets is wrong, seeing as it isn't deemed acceptable.
