This is when the boards league was at its best. No custom tactics and everyone just played there matches for the craic and not taking it to seriously and no one wrote a big summary of why they lost the match.

(Sorry if i left out any names from the original leagues)

Everyone takes it way to seriously these days.

Anyone agree??

League 1 is like that. Good craic. People just get on with it. If people were a little more pro active it would be perfect.

The first 3 seasons were the most fun for sure!

Thanks guys.

However, times change, and with such a large playerbase nowadays, you are always going to have people who take it more seriously than others. I think Moon and Axwell have done a great job with the leagues since they took them over.

The reason I created these leagues was to have a group of people who wanted to play FIFA in a competative environment, but who could shake someones hand at the end of a fair game. No quitting, no overcelebrating, no acting the muppet, no trolling, no last man tackles. Custom formations are part of the game, like or now, and a player has a right to set up a team whichever way he feels.

Some of the sh!te that I have read over the last 2 seasons has been absolutely rediculous, and completely against the spirit of the league imho.

Guys, it's only a game. There are some that are better than others. If you feel the need to rub it in at every opportunity, then you need to reexamine your reasons for playing in such a league.

Winning is important, but it isn't everything.

Ya, I barely play FIFA now, but I remember being addicted to playing as Schalke during one of the FIFA 09 Leagues, and then arguing about stupid sh*t on here. Most of my days in work were spent worrying about team choices, etc.

Good times, struggling with rubbish teams, standard tactics, etc.

I would agree that some people get too riled up though.

Were custom formations allowed in '09?

Most, if not all the muppets are playing in the Premiership :pac:

As AthAnRi has mentioned, League 1 is grand. I haven't come across anyone who has been rude/disrespectful at the end of a game. They're a nice bunch actually

Haven't seen too many whiny/childish posts on here from championship players lately as well so yeah it's mostly the premiership lads :eek:

They were allowed, but no-one was creating ridiculous tactics with 8 defenders. I guess it wasn't in the spirit of things.

Actually, even if you did, when we were the rubbish teams, your 3 forwards were probably so rubbish that they'd get isolated anyways.

Schalke, Newcastle, Everton ftw.

I remember using Udinese and Fiorentina early on. Thems were the days. Di Natale was a beast.

I had Lyon, Bayern, Juve and Chelsea. I'm a Lyon fan beacuse of Fifa 09! I was on the FIFA boards discussing the best tactics, and fine tuning my team was great fun.
