hi not to be a pain but the titile

Details of 10 versus 10 play

but the thing is, if i get put at left back, i will play up front, if i get put centre mid, i will play up front, infact, everyone, will play upfront, apart from the geezer who had to run after the othe team to win ball back, who wont pass, just shoot.. once he gets back up front

I think it's just a novelty and EA can say that they are the first people to have achieved it.


I'll give it a bash, but I'm sure the most fun will still come out of 1 versus 1.

sorry mate i read it slightly wrong


"At EA SPORTS our dream is to create a full 11 versus 11 online gameplay experience in which each user will have a set position during the match and train specifically for that position," said Joe Booth, producer of FIFA 08. "Be A Pro is the first step in this direction, and now, with the ability to deliver five versus five online gameplay as free downloadable content, we are moving even closer towards the realization of this dream."

this is the firts step towards it

Given the amount of trouble in normal online games with people dropping out when there loosing this might be a nightmare.
Not to mention the time waiting for 22 people to join the lobby.
With the way the gaming community is this will be a gimmick to make people buy the game but will be an absolut farce.
The only way you'll get any enjoyment from this is to join a clan team and play through a league.

it wont be has bad has you think. 22 people logging into one lobby wont take that long just has over 30 people joining a css server.just because you and others may think it may not work, doesnt mean it will be a farce. give it a try before you gudge and your not FORCED to play only 11v11 online anyway
