TFL Man League (XBOX)

think it would work in a casual play when u have free time fashion

I actually like the Online League feature alot. It's much easier (IMO) to be able to jump on and be able to play whoever is on rather than trying to match schedules.

Let me jump in as I always do. Ofcourse it is nice that your game automatically posts to the league (as in the online league feature). But have you seen that table, you might as well not track anything. From my experience with the online league feature in the past, I think it's more beneficial to take the extra step and manually track and eliminate more annoying expenses in other departments. Like I mentioned before, cons vs pros.

I understand as well that you guys have your hands full. I can also help out tracking this league. After all, if you are ok with online league feature, that means you are satisfied with just keeping track of score, no goal scorers to post, no cards to post, just a score. That is very very simple. And I'm not sure if I understood this right, you are concerned about mixing this up with PL/L1 (which I have stated before that those are my favorite leagues and wouldn't want to trade them with all manual). We don't need a sub forum for all manual since we all agree this is considered experimental. Just one thread over here (like the friendly thread) would be enough to get in touch with who's available and schedule games, and post scores. From there me, Kreb or Elprez can take care of the stuff.

And to make it even better (in my opinion), since this is experimental, let's track the league in my site that I'm developing for online franchise. That will probably speed up my development, let me play around with stuff (numbers and simulation of some stuff). Another plus would be that it'd be self policed, instead of posting here and wait for someone to move it to the official tracker, whoever is responsible for a game's score can go directly into the site and post it there, and have it reflect on the standings immediately. On top of that, as I add features, those who want to have a feel about it can fuck around with those and give me feedback, while others are free to just post scores and view standings.

I have done this before, go take a look at the nhl league I used to host. All data there is posted by users and does not require a lot of commishing, you just have to monitor what's going on and both parties of a game need to keep an eye to confirm results are posted correctly. FIFA site will be nicer.

I really don't like the way it acts as a ranked match. I make a good number of subs and changes with my 3* team and I probably won't have enough time to make all of them in time before the game starts while in an unranked match I could just save my formations and go. Idk how many other people are in the same boat, but it is an inconvenience for some of us.

Its cool. You guys know you can catch me on for a manual anytime. The FIFA 11 online league features are thinner than bare bones. I think it works well for a single night, round-robin style tournament, but is completely inept for use as a long term, season tracker. Headache has already listed some of its shortcomings. What kind of league option doesn't keep track of scorers? The FIFA 11 kind. I can't remember the last time I played in a league, online or offline, that didn't keep track of scoring. It may have been RBI Baseball on Nintendo.

I'd be way too frustrated with a league the first time I get disconnected and take a loss because of it (see International League). Some people get frustrated with poor crosses on manual, but I get frustrated when I have to reset my roster in 30 seconds or less or have to use early subs because I didn't get it done on time. For all of my complaining about semi, I am still in for L1 for the competition and the structure. However, I'm definitely out of this one if its run using the FIFA online leagues.

You still have to ask them if they're up for a game through XBL. You won't just send an invite and wait if they accept it, will you? To make you happy, we can sign up for the league so you can go look who's online you know, but play our games as friendlies.

Hahah, dick!

I don't know if you realized but 2 nights ago, when we tied, and you left xbox without exiting the game appropriately from the menus, you took a loss on that game. Yes, on a completed game, how dumb is that?

That's me sir!

And just like that, I'm already pissed and the league hasn't even started yet.

so where do we post team picks? i mean..if we have a draft order

oh right darlon...

TMI bro!

Pumped for my team choice.

AJ:French clubs::ryal: Portugese clubs

I think you could've picked any random one last night and beat me with them.

Come on @Darlon we don't have all day here.

@Blaza you are as funny as I am on that edit, which is a sad thing on your part

i give darlon 4 hours..if he doesnt get on move him to 17 and move everyone else up one

Hahah, stop

xD it seems fair..im anxious to see how this league turns out..hopefully i have more wins than ties in this league than the other xD

TMI (whatever this means) bro (and whatever this means)!

LAWL so we go backwards?
