Everyone add me on 360 (dwn2f).

Grinding for a bit then I'll be on. I'll also be down to start the league but I need to know all the particulars on how to do it.

what is a "cutback goal" exactly?

I am on life tilt.

I go up 2-0 against this guy who appears to be pretty bad (and I'm terrible). He somehow goes on this insane run to force overtime, and scores a goal in the 117th.

Somehow, I get a miraculous wide-open shot on net after he messed up a keeper throw and we go to PKs.

In PKs, we both make our first shots before I stop his 2nd and 3rd. Then, when I'm lining my fourth shot up to win the shootout, this toolbag presses start and messes with some options and I get a "your opponent has been disconnected" message.

So ****ing frustrating.

you almost always will still get the win (like 90% of the time in my experience)

This is the first time I've bought FIFA since 2003, have always been a Pro Evo player, but this year FIFA really seemed to be the obvious choice, and am really happy with my purchase.

Really like this game online so far, seems to be more people disconnecting on FIFA than on PES2008 though, which is pretty surprising to me considering the terrible lag PES games used to had, could someone explain the FIFA ranking system? I can't seem to find my online stats, and I tried visiting easportsfootball.com, but didn't really understand what was going on there, I'm a 360 gamer, my tag is SoapbarSE if anyone fancys a game.

Can someone explain what a 'cutback' goal is? From the posts so far, it seems like an easy way to score a goal. Is this the case? Will I destroy the CPU every time using this tactic?

samwallistea go to xboxlive then view player hub then hold your left trigger and hit up until you get to your career stats. you can also go to my fifa online and then to 09 leaderboards and then hit the right stick down to view your own stats.

if anyone understands the online rankings please let me know. it says my ranking is 7421 and i hav 1052 skill points but i have no clue what that all means. im 49-26, i play a lot of fifa.

mantan23 on xbox just hit me up im playing all day till girlfriend gets out of work.

ranking is pretty much common sense - the more you play, the more you win - the more skill points you get : the higher rank you become. you get more skill points if you play opponents of higher rank., but i think you can also lose skill points if you lose games. it's pretty much impossible to crack the top 5000 before playing like 100+ games (i'm like 50-10 and i think im only ranked like 6000)

What formations are you guys playing online? I've only played against mates so far but 3-4-3 seems to be the nuts against all but the strongest teams.

Run along side either flank and then take it to the near post, keeper then also comes to near post, then if you pass it across goal, you will have an open net to short to, and as you are passing back you won't be offside.

it's incredibly annoying as there isn;t much you can do about it, apart from going for the block instead of the man (a its hard to score from there). This is literally all some people do to score, a you will get quit on a lot if you do this a lot

I will play with Man Utd when someone lines up against with me Barca, Munich, Chelsea, Arsenal but if I see someone playing with a mid table team I wont use one of the big clubs. I actually prefer to play with mid table teams such as villa, city, even spurs (lol).

I won't be playing tonight (roommates will be though) but I'll be on tomorrow night

How do you guys score when one on one vs keeper. When do you shoot, and what's the best shot to take? I miss almost all of them.

just practice in the arena. make sure you slow down (dont sprint) when you get close, what i usually do is just come in holding the left trigger, turn slightly to either side, and use the rb (finesse shot) into the corner. just practice in the arena and you'll get it.
