Saying that I like the current way results are done too.

Like Afro said I think we need multiple games for one match up.

Maybe a best of 3?

by Azzy Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 8:36

Boy have we come a long way with this league Laugh

by Holymiky Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 8:37

What do you mean Azzy?

by Holymiky Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 8:38

Was that sarcastic or serious? Laugh

Serious, we were basically running the league on pencil and paper back on 606v1. Now we're moving into the digital age Euro Division Homepage 4 - Sponsored by the day Viva admits Nando is better than him at FIFA15 - Page 6 3559488474

I guess I'm the only one that isn't a fan of this voting style.

Fifa isn't FM and many results are random.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:16

They are but so is football at times.
Two teams can play each other several times a season, often you'll get a different result every time.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:17

About to do the third game live on Twitch

Username is hero606v2 if you want to watch!

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:17

Hero wrote:There's 4 set styles of play: possession, long ball, pressing and counter attack, then the option to go advanced.
On each player dependent upon position there's then individual instructions, so for wingers there's tracking back, go inside, get in the box, free roam etc.
When I was reading through people's tactics then pretty much most things they wanted were covered. CF's instructions to strikers of score a goal though weren't there.

That would help refine tactics submissions and keep them concise. You could literally have it as the options on the PS4.

I think it worth trying a season when this league is done

If it is going to happen, what you need is confidence that what you do as a manager (the players you buy, the formation and tactics you use) are going to have a material effect on the match. All teams have off days, or days when they just can't score, so randomness is fine, but it needs to be the right amount and not having too much of an impact so that it becomes a game of luck.

Almopst 95% players and tactics, 5% luck

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:22

I think the reason it is popular Viva is that it removes the subjective, voter's opinion on results completely

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:26

And that for those that can view the stream when we do them it'll be quite the spectacle to watch your team.

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:29

Do you get yellow and red cards in the games? I didn't notice any on the match commentary

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:32

Yes there's been a few yellows, penalty in the current game too but saved

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:33

Been injuries in a couple as well!

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:35

Opens a whole new world of options then.

Games can be saved on Twitch too can't they, so if you can't watch it live, you can go back and watch it another time

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:35

It is much more "realistic" actually

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:39

I'd agree Olly, especially when you have players that quite often people haven't really watched yet they've got to vote based on them. Sure it's easier this season with the top clubs but often when we're starting with the FC Twentes of the world etc then a lot of its guess work.

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:44

It would also make the act of bigging up your own players' stats pointless Whistle

How frequently are the players skill levels and ratings updated? SO take Kane as an example, did his rating get improved throughout the season last year, or was it once or twice a season?

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:46

They're updated pretty regularly.

Hmm not so sure about the no bigging up or being able to trash talk the opposition Wink

by Marky Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:48

If your console is online, Fifa 15 will prompt regular squad updates to reflect real life performances few weeks or so.

by FIFA Diva Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:50

If everyone prefers the new way I don't mind.

Is Hero going to run the results from now on?

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:51

Think the plan is from next season to kickstart it

by Marky Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 9:51

I'm all for Hero doing results.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:06

Okay done 7 games now between Porto & Juve based upon the tactics Olly and I did for this week. Currently Juve have won 5, Porto 1 and 1 draw (Fat Frank with a blistering injury time rocket equaliser).

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:10

If you could do another 93, we'd have a good sample then... Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:17

Hero where can I watch these games pal?

by Trebs Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:42

Fifa does updates once a week with in form etc.

I was sceptical but i think its become a lot more popular than i anticipated

My ID on Twitch is hero606v2, presume if you subscribe to me then it'll alert you as to when I'm streaming.

by Azzy Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:46

Sheep questions, answers to me by 1pm, answers going out any time after 230:

1. Name a game that was showcased at E3 this week
2. Name a cricketer who has scored a century for England this year, in any format
3. Name a goalkeeper Arsenal should sign if the Petr Cech deal falls through
4. Name a football club in the UK from a coastal town
5. Name a football manager who has had a moustache
6. Name a British tennis player not named Andy Murray
7. Name an F1 driver with less than 10 career wins
8. Which teamfrom the NSL, using current squads, would win a full FIFA season?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:54

I think we should set a round of friendlies and a date for the streaming and see how we all like it

Maybe a "mid season" break - then we can implement from next season

by Azzy Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 10:59

Streaming in the evenings as I can't watch while at work...

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 11:06

Generally I can't run the matches whilst I'm at work either.

What night would be best for streaming

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 11:56

If anyone's about to watch I'm about to stream Miky's Arsenal v Nando's Bayern from this week.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:07

Arsenal 0-1 Bayern HT
Goal for Lahm separates the teams.

by nadeem2099 Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:07

I'm watching it but there's no one to chat to.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:09

Turan immediately makes it level at the start of the 2nd half.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:10

Ozil regains the lead on 52m

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:11

I'm at work I can't watch

If hero does one tonight I might be about

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:12

I'll put on me v you again tonight if you want Olly? (Dependent on wife wanting TV)

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:16

Sure thang - I'll just need to setup a twitch thingy

by **Afro** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:16

Hero - the games are, or can be, saved can't they. So if anyone can't make the live stream, could they watch it at a later time?

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:19

I think so, not worked it out yet how.

by **Hero** Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:20

Fekir nets a 3rd in injury time.

by nadeem2099 Fri 19 Jun 2015 - 12:20

Keeper should have saved it.
