Fifa 08 comes out on the 9th in the US and it'll have online leagues (unlike the travesty that is Madden 08 online).
I'm thinking about having a 8 team (or more) DVDTalk league.
Don't know about the settings yet, but I think we should just all play each other twice (home and away).

Post if interested (and your team). First come, first serve


Arpeggi (Chelsea)
No Use for a Name (Manchester United)
rocketsauce (Tottenham Hotspur)
slymer (Rangers)
NZ DVDFreak (Arsenal)

I'm sure I'll suck (I'm not any good at any past FIFA games), but what the hell; I'm in with Man Utd.

definately in with Tottenham

Do you think this will have Live longevity? (1-2+ years)

ive been playing UEFA Champions league online and they have a decent amount of people still in the lobbies. and this game is about a year old. soccer games are great for online because of the international appeal. I always find that they last longer than others.

Man i'd love to get in on something like this but i will only have Fifa 08 on PS2.Maybe i will be in for 09

Read the review on Gamespot. Online leagues can have up to 32 teams!

We need more players for our league...

so in the league can we pick teams from any league or are we going to all be from the same league?

Any team from any league.

Would it be totally stupid of me to be the Chicago Fire since I'm currently interning here?

Yeah.

Come on!

I'm picking up the game today. I'll join as Rangers.

I guess the game doesn't come out till tommorrow. Shit!

is it available at bestbuy or anywhere today? Every site says it comes out today.

Best Buy and Circuit City adds in the Bargains forum say tommorrow. I called Gamestop and they said it comes out tommorrow as well. Bummer, I was planning on picking it up on the way home.

oh well, back to playing UEFA CL for a day or so. by the way im going to add some of you as friends for the league. My tag is in my sig.

Ok come on guys we need 4 more teams!

8 team minimum? Anyone have friends who want in?

just picked it up. add me to your friends if you want to play sometime.

I'd be interested but I'm in the UK so I'm not sure the timezones would work out that well?
I'd want to play as Arsenal.

we need anyone we cna get. im on at all kinds of hours so im sure we can figure it out.

Ok I looked quickly at the league settings.

How many times to you guys want to play one another?
It only has 1,3,5, etc. I would have preferred 2.

6 mins half ok?

i guess three would be fine then

3 is fine. Question: everytime I play an online match it makes me re-download rosters. After downloading it says it saves the rosters, but I can't find where they are. They aren't under squads. It takes forever to download them.

arpeggi are you going to create the league?
