I'll be up for some games today (unless NBA 2K9 arrives) and through the rest of the week.

i have not reached that stage yet. dont have kids yet so its all good heheBloody kids! - Mine are old enough to be sent to bed and stay there now (thank god).
I've been playing the PES09 demo and been having more fun with that arcadey kick about than Fifa09. I think it's the bugs and shit in Fifa09... they won't annoy most people but for me they kill the game.
Crosses that float in with no pace or curve wildly without me wanting them to - that crab walking through ball stuff - that the game cheats and will slow you down when you're fully healthy to allow a slow player to catch up or will slow you down and let someone with the ball like Yakubu sprint away from C.Ronaldo - how players take a touch or 2 when receiving a pass leaving them open to a tackle or getting pushed over and then you have to wait for the animation to stop before you can do anything - the delay between pressing shoot or pass and it actually happening at times - that Manager Mode and the menus are the same which just makes me feel like im playing fifa 08 again (MM was where i spent 99% of my time last year so this kills all of my enjoyment of offline gaming) - BAP offline is extremely dull once you've been playing it online and its also full of bugs and strange happenings - get 5 '10 rated matches' and find yourself in the reserves the following week - But then when you do go online the game crashes or hangs on the load screen, it boots you out of games, awards the quitting team the win and is full of cheats/exploits. Last night we were getting battered by Man Utd who for each goal did the exact same thing - instead of jogging on the edge of the box and chipping the keeper they jogged and tapped shoot at the edge and every goal went in. It was 4-0 by half time then i get a message saying the other team have quit but when i pm people they said that I quit the game!
I don't want to throw Fifa away and then find that PES is equally annoying - but at the moment i'm having more fun pinging the ball around in the demo of PES than Fifa09.
You've dropped out a few times when I've been in games with you Rad.
Might be worth getting your connection looked into.
SJP76 I agree with you about people making bursts etc but i've played with you and more before and it was fine then but yesterday there were 4-5 of our players in the other teams box which made it easy for the opposition to counter attack. I agree we need to keep it moving a lot more and spread the play out wide.
Rad I think you should give this game more time and you will probably find the same or if not more bugs with PES09 than you will with FIFA as there's a good chance online will be the same as last years
i dont notice them either, on the ps3 too. just button lag thats allWhat bugs are you guys talking about because i cant see any?
Is it just a PS3 thing?
On the kick about loading parts before a match sometimes you'll be stuck in there kicking the ball around wondering what the fecks going on and then after you PM a friend asking if they're still loading they'll say 'No we started the game a few minutes ago its half time now"
The only way out is to press the PS button on the pad once and then picking quit game but it cocks up and resets the PS3 and turns your pad off (oh for the record you do that to access the XMB - if you press it and hold it it only gives you turn off pad or turn off system)
-
Sometimes in games you'll get a message saying the other team quit - but it will only be you who has been kicked from the game or they'll quit on you and in the club records... they will be awarded the win.
When you play a through ball players running after it did a crab walk and seem to avoid the ball.
Erm.. i cant think of any more
