Hi guys,
I started the Xbox360 version of the Fifa league last year and the current organizers are going a superb job of it. If someone was serious about actually starting a PS3 league, I can give pointers.

From experience, you need to start by running a qualifying league. Get everyone to sign up on a thread here and at a sopecified date, release the password. Let everyone choose whatever team they want and run it for a month or so. Then kick out the people who didn't show interest and those who used sh1tty tactics such as constant fouling (taking out last man), quitting while losing, over celebrating, taunting and anythinge else that makes people quit these leagues.

Then run the proper league with a proper fixture list which gives everyone 2-3 games per week to finish. In tandem with this league, start a new qualifying leaue for players who will join the main league.

Guys and girls, there are plenty of PS3 Fifa players and all it takes is getting a few dedicated people to start it up and maintain it. There has to be someone that has what it takes?

Right so shall we start again?...

Has the player who originally started this disappeared as most do?

If so we'll set up another, i know straight away that flawed genius should be a committed player from playing club with him, i know at least one other lad who will commit properly, how about we get say five more, preferably regular posters on the site(lads will the fewest posts generally are the ones who disappear) and run with that.

Then we can start up another small one and get another few from that, i pointed this out on a thread before that nobody can expect the first few to finish and the majority of the players will pack it in, best you can hope for is to get 2/3 each time, hence why i didnt even join the last one made a few weeks ago, said to myself i'd get involved if i saw it kept going

So no setting up leagues for now, who wants to play?

Anyone who can only play ''at weekends'' or who generally doesnt have free time shouldnt bother posting as their games will never finish

Good man gilberto_eire... I played last year in a few of these boards leagues and tournies - none really ever got going or completed.

If your setting up a league how about you start a new thread and get a "good" group together...

Ill play anyway and can guarantee finishing out the league regardless of my results

There's a few lads still in my friends list from the club, i reckon two or three of them would be willing to play

1.Thewools
2.Smelloflol
3.Gilberto... im pretty sure i can get a reliable 4th

So if we can get 2/3 or 4 more we can start it up. That will still be 10+ games.

I think we should leave this thread for a while, if nobody else replies maybe close it and move it to the PS3 forum?.... not many come in here tbh?

thewools

Ye okay...

Sounds good to me...

FlawedGenius

I agree with FutureGuy and GilbertoEire. Theres no reason why we cant have as good a league as the Xbox one if we set it up properly. Itl take time to get to know the people who are commited but, we already know 4 or 5 who are. You could add "newballsplease(Deaglan to that last)" aswell.
As FutureGuy said, run this qualifying thing and wel find out who the felas who are interested are.
Doesnt the Xbox one have fixtures layed out?? Maybe we could do that aswell, as people know in advance when there match is and therel be none of the "I was online when he wasnt" etc:rolleyes:
Have a clear league set out, with rules like FutureGuy suggested, fixtures, league updates and I cant see why it cant be as good as the XBOX one.

if this is going to go ahead and actually get off the ground then you can add me.

I take it your not ''Newballsplease''...? cause i'm pretty sure we played some game along the line and i don't recall that name

So that's around 6 or 7 now

Any interest from the other two lads that posted?

Will we just start with the 6?, its still 10 odd games and we'll know if we have six definites if everyone finishes their games

I'd be interested in playing in any FIFA leagues going on, played in a couple in 09, even (unofficially) won the last of them, so I think I'm fairly reliable. Agree with what the others said that we need a league like the XBOX one, that seems to run well and if we got a similar system I can't see why we can't get ours going too.

i think 7 is more then enough anyway(8 tops), the smaller the more chance it will finish. Most important thing is to just finish one out

So what are we doing with teams?, will be a bit annoying if i see after picking say Liverpool or someone that ill be playing 7 other Madrids or Barca's, personally don't mind playing anyone but them, and if they are going to be picked i'd rather only one person had them.

Would anyone be up for random picks?, we couid make a list of the best 8 teams and pick a number, i get the last team left, id pass the list on for fairness as everyone picks a number, also means that everyone has an equal chance no matter when they pick(1st posters dont get an advantage like in a straight pick)

4.5 star teams with random numbers?

I think its good to all have different teams anyway, and letting people pick isnt fair for the lads towards the end as most good teams are gone

opinions?

I would rather random 4.5 star teams - i hate playing Real Madrid and Barca every game these days!!

Seconded for this and I'm interested in adding my name aswell

Ok i say we run with what we have, any more names can go into a second league, if for instance we get another 8 and finish it, we'll split the top players and bottom players from each into the proceeding leagues

I know most of the posters here so hopefully this finishes out, i say we use the in game league system, but we can post the corresponding games and fixtures here, say maybe 4 games a week, try play a game every second day

ill invite everyone now, once everyone accepts and picks a team we can start, so hopefully everyone who posted keeps on eye on this thread

Set the league up and sent friends invites to all, at any rate the leagues BoardsIRE

I picked AC myself

so we're just picking any team we want 4.5 stars and lower ?

Seems that way, random picks would have suited me better, just for the fact it means we don't end up with ''Arsenal Vs Arsenal'', usually in these things, people tend to pick the best team they can, so you end up with a few of them.... no-one really commented and gave opinions, just 4.5 was grand

thats cool will be on later to join the league

Good man Gilberto! Thank god we cant pick 5 star teams. Would of been very unfair. So its 4.5 star teams or lower? Is this just an experiment league/qualifying or what? Is there playoffs, how many games?
Most importantly will there be fixtures set out? I think thats the most important thing for it to be finished. Thats what the XBOX league has and it means people know when they are playing in advance so theres no excuses!

Ok Im in, Bayern Munich!

sd08

I'll pick Arsenal if I'm allowed, if not just say and I'll pick a different team before I join.
2 games against each player seems fair enough, and we should try to post fixtures here in advance rather than the usual one or two people playing all their games then waiting on the rest to play theirs.

I'm not sure what it is, consider it the first 8/9, if we could get another one running along side and divide the players up based on positions(top 4/ bottom 4 in each split into two leagues with promotion relegation from then on) for the following one/s

Once everyone joins and picks a team we can go about setting up the fixtures, hopefully the other lads select different teams, still lots of good ones left with 4.5

Not sure about the play off aspect, it was faded out and couldnt be changed, i think it was set to ON anyway, not sure of what they entail?

Two rounds of games, i set the limit to 9 players, the problem with the one started a few weeks back was it was open to anyone to join, they must have had the full 20+, doomed to fail before it began, need to keep them small to begin with

The key to this working (bar people leaving) is regular contact to the thread to keep up to date on when games need to be played, picking teams etc...

If they're a 4.5 star team(which i think they are) pick away

wcarey1975

I'm in work so can't double check but are Liverpool a 4.5 Star team if they are then I'll pick them if not then I'll pick Valencia as I'm sure they are a 4.5 star team.

Pretty sure Liverpool are a 5star...

Ill be online later after work and check out all possible 4.5 teams... is there a full list online??

Ya Liverpool are a 5*

Ian-DOC= Man City

Never played as them yet - but Ill pick Tottenham! See how that goes... :cool:

When will league fixtures etc be arranged... I can play today after work if possible?

Better wait until comfirmation from gilberto_eire regarding the league format...

Any Rules?

• Game Length
• Do these games have to ranked or unranked?
• Guidelines regarding disconnecting (honest ones) or quitting?
• etc

i dont mind waiting, is 6 minutes not standard for online matches i think we should keep it at that, disconnecting should result in a loss wheter its by accident or on purpose imo and the games should be ranked also.

sd08

I'm pretty sure Gilberto has set up the league within FIFA's league system, so that way the fixtures and results will be there for everyone to easily see, and so noone can fix the results, seems a fair enough way for now.

Ya i set it up through the online system, so if someone was to quit it will record in the game.

I put it to 6mins a half
I'm pretty sure when you play a league game through the online system its an unranked match

As soon as the other 3/4 lads pick their teams we can start, say 4 games a week. so we'll finish it by next week

Is it too late to join??
Really wanna find a league to join online....can start asap...

I ended up picking A Madrid as I totally forgot about them. There's 2 of us in the league using A Madrid but it should make for some fun

Just search for the league, put the limit to 9, we have 8 now, if you take longer then the last two to pick teams we're starting though, see how active you are in this thread

You can leave it yourself, click your name in the standing and it should open a menu with this option, thats how you leave a ''club'' anyway, its there somewhere.

thewools has accepted my friends invite so ill invite him(can search yourself-BoardsIRE), that just leaves ''newballsplz'' who put him in, what's the story?

Once everyone picks we'll do the fixtures, try play an even number as we go

sd08

Sounds good to me, hopefully this can really get going for a change.
Have you sent out invites to the league or do we need to join it ourselves? I'd say that fixtures should be made on a day to day basis though so that people who may not be on won't miss their matches and nobody gets too far ahead or left behind in fixtures, what tends to ruin these things is one guy having 4/5 wins or one person having that many losses before others have played then everybody loses interest.

thewools

I joined there - decided to go with Juventus instead of Tot Spurs... :rolleyes:

I can only send invites when someone is on my friends list, at any rate its on open league so either way works. I sent yours and Paddy's invites earlier this evening.

Maybe not even day to day, personally i could play everyday but i'm sure most won't, if we could try every second day or just 4 in a week(two weeks to finish it), so not sure would it be practical to go game by game, although it would make it more interesting.

We just need to sort this ''newballsplease'' lad(and Kav if he decided to return to the thread and read what i posted, they generally never return though ) and we can go about starting

It would be handy if we could get another small one going to run along side, seeing as its the first and the way these things generally go i'd say the best we can hope for is say 6 from our 9 finishing, so if we can get another 7/8/9 player one going and get enough from both we can go from there.

Amazing there's so little interest in comparison to the Xbox one, can't see why none of the lads who were playing on the ''club'' team asked to join
