Managed to play two games, friendly against Hong Kong, me using Japan. Not bad lar, wish can play more games. will not be using my xbox till monday since i'm away.

Before you start a game/tournament, you're presented with a game settings page. Right trigger to select various options as Xeno said and right D-pad to select sub-option. Options include - duration per half (2/4/6/8/10/45 minutes), game speed (normal, slow & fast - defaults on normal), difficulty, etc.

4 levels of difficulty - amateur, semi-pro, professional and world class. Default is semi-pro. There's also another level above world class - it's called "perfect" which can be unlocked.

Yeah, got it. I guess kinda used to PES/WE setting, where you can change the difficulty anytime you like Playing on Semi-Pro was just like....WTF!?! All of your through passes will definitely succeed, and the opponent GK is too dumb to react fast enough...

Started playing today, my 1st match is with Germany .. bcos I wanted the 50 points for my GS .

Anyone of u guys know how to execute a power kick, I cant seem to do it at all, all my goal kicks are weak.

Anyone wanna play tomorrow morning until night, its my offday ... and I wil be playing this until i master all the movement and key functions.

Mmmmaybe after Chelsea v MU tomorrow

I'm kinda annoyed with the game's glitches.....the framerate slows down when you're in the last 3rd, especially when taking corners. Feels like this game was really rushed.

The animations are quite nice though. The players move around more life-like than WE. But I guess that's the only thing FIFA has over WE right now

Yeah .. im going to glue to my TV during Chelsea v MU ... go Chelsea

So far .. no frame rate issues here for me, the game is really nice. Currently, Im just worried about the online play .. hopefully EA fix tha laggyness when playing LIVE.

A couple of questions dear bro's..

i) Is this game region free? I'm using the Asia set.. The software boutique is selling which region for RM159? Can use the discount card? I've a discount card..

ii) Compared to PS2, are the graphics much much superior? Like Tomb Raider, I don't think there were many difference between X-Box and 360 version right?

iii) Which is better? Winning 11 or this game? I'm still waiting for the reviews of this game..

I have the PS2 version.. Looks and plays real nice so just wondering whether it is worth it to play on 360, which is collecting dust.. Thanks bro's!

Played a few matches with UK fella in Live..1 word..lag..most of the goals was done during laggy...haha......I wonder how they go with the ranked match stuff...no multiplayer achivements though...

Software boutique is selling the Asia version, so you have no problem playing it.

Graphics should be much, much superior. Close up, the players have that Fight Night look on them, which the PS2 could never do. But then again, when you're playing, you can't really see much of it considering the camera angles.

Most definitely, I have to say that WE is still superior to this game. But if you're looking for a football game to distract you whilst waiting for WE 360 (whenever that comes out), WC is still a decent game.



Hmm....might be the camera angle that I'm using. Are you on the default camera angle?

Im using the dafault camera angle .. did not change it at all.

SB no longer giving discount, they are currently using points system, whenever u purchase games or anything from SB, u will get points, with those points, u could exchange it with certain items in SB.

Played online just now ... the lag is horrid. My opponent was using USA and I was using France, lost 1-2. Its so lag.

You guys are just confirming that I wasn't the only one lagging. Thanks ... now I don't feel so bad!!

My ONLY lag-free online game so far has been with Zincast.

But yeah, this sucks man. Screw EA!!

Hehe ... if u play with Zincast ... sure no lag wan bcos he using 2MB SG line.

me in singapore now, they are having the xboxScup in preparation for the World Cup, i guess. was in funan centre just now, and there were xbox360 booth just playing this game.

When u r coming back to Malaysia .. perhaps u could get games for me ?

I don't think it's just the line. I'm on 8MB dedicated bandwidth package and it still lags when I play with locals on similar bandwidth.

Just some experience in LIVE...if I host...not so lag lar..sometime no lag at all..but if I join...damn lag...wondering if anyone encounter that before....some more 1 thing is when u join the game....u'll be like restarting..going into the EA screen..load from HDD...then only connecting into EA server..anyone of u guys having the same issue?

OT: Chelsea 1 Manu 0 ... kekeke
