    International Teams

    For those who are interested in a FIFA league, i want to get feedback on what teams to use. I'm thinking the league size would be around 20-25 and i'm leaning towards using International Teams, Mainly because club teams would rarly face other club teams from a different country. Also since there's going to be around 20 guys, might as well use international teams to keep to increase the all around skill, plus i can bet most of us North american's can't name more then 5 club teams.

    As for the league, i was thinking of a 20 or so game schedule, 10 weeks (1 game a week plus wild card games)

    Feedback on int. or club teams?

    If we're looking at a 20 game season...I think I can handle that.

    I think that international teams would be the way to go.

    maybe we could do a "World Cup" format, except with a longer pre-tournament (ie in WC there's a 3 game format, then playoff's)

    There's 32 teams in that i believe

    I wish I could give some input since I don't have the game yet and really don't how the Live settings are, can you choose any team (club vs international?) or are you set to play only club vs club and Int vs Int? Depending how many teams we have break them down to divisions, everyone plays twice against each other best 2-3 teams advance from each division and play each other in sigle elimination until you crown a champion.

    I say Club.

    Lemme start. Tris, the Holland International Team isn't in the game. Has that changed your mind? If not, then the problem with international teams, is that a lot of people are only going to realy want 1 team. Like I can see England getting about 5-10 votes, same with Brazil.

    Club teams, everybody can find a good one, there is around 30-40 teams with a 4-4.5 star rating my friend told me. That is more than enough for what we are looking at,

    As for naming 5 club teams? Want me to go? I could probably name 100 lol.

    it all depends on how many teams are involved.

    if you have a lot like 30 or so i say club teams.. anything over 20 teams should go to club teams.. more good club teams around than international teams.

    international would be fun to play with, seeing as when i play i play the tournament over and over with international teams

    playing with club teams it's more of a custom to play out a season then go for a cup or 2 or 3.

    but whichever direction the league takes i'm good to go. strap on your boots boys it's time for some football :p

    Good point, Clubs would be best way to go since they are so many to choose from, but here is my question about star ratings. Are they done based on Real attributes or Just within their League. For example, Inter Milan might be a 4-4.5 in the Italian league but how about San Jose Earthquake are they 4-4.5 in the MLS? Are those ratings matching if they face each other. Now if the game is breaking down like that it would be great, since you dont always have to choose the popular clubs you can actually choose your favorite MLS teams? you guys see where I am getting?

    Tris, it is a liscensing problem, Holland nor Wales agreed to the contract, so neither is in the game.

    I would like international teams If I were to join. I wouldnt pick stinky england...I would probably go with Germany or Spain or Ireland. Either way it would be fun if the game is any good.

    i'd say club teams cause i noticed Poland is not in it. Unless i'm mistaken. If Poland is in it i would go international.
