He'll still be overweight though, however good the doctors are!
A radical starvation diet is required
Apparently he named his son Ronald, not after himself, but Ronald McDonald, because of his love for Big Macs
Ten years ago he was an amazing player, but after his first knee injury at Inter he was never the same player again.
I loved the recent story about how he took three transexual/transvestites back for sex, and two of them wanted to blackmail him
He sure can pick them...

I agree with you about the top 5/10 players of all time, in his prime he could take on a whole team pretty much. I remember that goal for Barca when he dribbled from his own half, opponents were pulling him back, but he beat them all and scored.
I don't doubt for a second that he is a nice person,but he's gotta be pretty stupid to have gone off with three blokes.
I think him being overweight for the past six years or so has to be partly his fault as well.
Back on topic, I bought Fifa 09 yesterday for PC.
I think it's great, better than PES, but there are a few issues I was wondering if anyone can help me with.
Firstly, I get 60fps in night matches (maybe dropping to 50 or so if there are lots of players in the centre of the pitch) yet only 31 fps in daytime matches.
I play using 800x600 res, so can't go any lower.
Also, there are a few gameplay issues.
I've started out on professional, but i've found whenever the CPU gets a chance, they score
So to win a game basically, I have to stop all of their chances from being created, which isn't how it works in real life
Has anyone hacked the ai files in this game?
There are a couple more things, the goalnet patch broke my installation, had to reinstall, the ball doesn't bounce much off the posts, and its too easy to catch a shot cleanly and get a lot of power on it.
I'd still recommend it though (from a former PES fan)

(from a former PES fan)I tried changing my GFX setting on FIFA but it never changes my FPS. I played it on 1440x900 resolution with everything on max and then I ticked down one click on the resolution and decreased other things and still got the same FPS, so I settled for everything on maximum except for 3D grass and I put Shaders on level 1. You should have a look and see what processes you have running and close absolutely everything when you play (I notice a very slight improvement with MSN closed).
The issue with daytime I'd say is related to how the sun setting changes so shadows move and the lighting changes. (Oh yeah I never mentioned that FIFA has dynamic weather)
About the AI having chances, what setting are the goalies at? As I wrote before, the defense sometimes leaves itself wide open in the middle for a run, I can only suggest you press the button to have your goalie come out as soon as you see a player making a run for the gap and playing defense like this: hold your run button while moving your guy towards the AI's body + AI pressure button + Pressure button. This way you might slow down the opposition just enough to have your teammate recover or your goalie come out to take away any chances of a goal. If such isn't possible, switch to being the goalie and use the button you use for shooting to dive for the ball if you have to.
ps: Yesterday I registered for this open tryout scheme that the Chicago Fire will have in December, let's hope I can get fit enough in 3 weeks!

Thanks for the extensive tips Gui, I'm using pro goalkeepers, any higher and I can't score

Damn, I'd murder for something like that
It's a great opportunity for you, I hope it hasn't come too soon in fitness terms.
Don't go for long runs to try and get fit, I would advise you to try and do as much football simulation type training as possible if you can. So many many short sprints, turns and fast dribbles past two or three cones all interspersed with light jogging, jumping etc.
Also, try spend time every day until then with a ball at your feet, even if it's dribbling round furniture, it helps
I wish you the very best of luck with it mate.
Give it your best shot, and let me know how you get on

I already do that with the ball, I have a miniature of the WC 2006 ball I got from McD's (thanks to dad :P) and I play with it like crazy. I'd say it's a size 1 (official match ball being a 5) and can juggle and do stuff just fine. I only have 3 weeks to get ready but have access to the gym about 5 days a week at most. I might run outside but it's already freezing cold and most likely if I try sprinting I'll slide and fall on some patch of ice. I got footy every Thursday, I'll just keep pushing more and more there, running all I can until I get tired and sub out for 5 minutes, come back in and do it all again without holding back. I do some very very short sprints at home, when I dribble around and have the ball going towards a wall and I lunge across the living room to stop it before it does. I'm sure the neighbor below must not approve of my methods though . I'm relaxed for the tests regarding technique and all bits related to skill but really am quite anxious and nervous regarding the stamina. We're expected to play at least a full hour, I can't last that long right now, maybe 1/8 of that :P

If you're at home you might want to try these...
Squat thrusts...
For four minutes, do 20 seconds flat out, ten seconds rest, and repeat seven more times. Aim to get in at least 8-10 reps in each of the eight 20 second intervals.
This works on the tabata principle of really intensive but short exercise training. The switch between max intensity and low intensity over such a short period of time is proven to vastly improve anaerobic endurance much more than stuff like jogging.
Plus you can do it in a small space/room
You could also try the same with mountain climbers here, but for two minutes...
I hope these will help

H E L L O Are you playing on legendary difficulty Gui?
I have tried world classs, but it seems pretty easy.
If you get past a player, they don't track back
I can also keep 70% possession with Chievo away to Roma

I haven't had the chance to go up to that yet, I decided to focus on getting points by doing the challenges, and most of them consist of semi-pro mode , but when I can I do them on pro. Soon to be world class
, but when I can I do them on pro. Soon to be world classI picked up Fifa 09 (First FIFA game I've got since World Cup 98!!) and it is superb fun! :D

Oh, World Cup 98 was the best of them all :D. 1998 was a great year also soundtrack-wise for EA. We had Song 2 by Blur on FIFA 98 and Tubthumping by Chumbawamba on WC 98, not to mention all the other songs that were awesome in both games :D. FIFA 98 to me was the best FIFA of them all (despite not having Sávio) and it had a great World Cup mode too! I still have both, might try playing sometime .
Before Ian says anything I'll guess the XBox 360!

I hated Song 2 by Blur with a passion.
Fifa 99/WC 98 had the best soundtrack
Rockafeller Skank - fifa 99
God Within - raincry
And from WC 98(My favourite)
Boymerang - Soul Beat Runna
