| Future of this season / How would you like your FIFA 12 served? | |

| Sorry I havent been about much in the last few weeks guys, were | |
| curently managerless at work which means im having to cover a | |
| few management duties which means doing admin at home, the time | |
| im sat at home doing mindless admin is usually the time im | |
| managing the leagues! Anyway, a new manager is due to be | |
| appointed this week so hopefully i'll be back to just helping | |
| the kids learn. | |
| God i bet you all dont wanna know about my worklife! Sorry! | |
| Back to this season, PS3 Division 2 has pretty much been a non | |
| starter which is a shame, i know a few players are on holiday | |
| which is fair. | |
| A few players have asked to be removed from the league due to | |
| getting rid of FIFA 11 in time for FIFA 12, its understandable | |
| that players will lose interest in 11 as 12 is on the horizon | |
| and with the demo hitting within the fortnight im sure interest | |
| will dwindle further. | |
| This was always going to be a mini season to keep us all busy | |
| until FIFA 12 so im not discouraged by the lack of games played | |
| as it is a busy time of the year for us GAMERDADS ;). | |
| I will add ALL the remaining fixtures to the dedicated FIFA | |
| league website and will paste all the fixtures into a thread on | |
| the forum, hopefully they will get played! | |
| [glow=red,2,300]FIFA 12 [/glow] | |
| ^^ Check out that glow ^^ | |
| Anyways, FIFA 12 is close, a bit closer than i thought actually! | |
| So with under 4 weeks til the new game is out it doesn't leave | |
| alot of time for planning, especially when EA wont send me a | |
| preview copy!!!! ::) trust me...i've asked! | |
| So as we are a community I feel we should work together to try | |
| and make the FIFA 12 Leagues the best in the world! If you have | |
| any ideas for the leagues, with regards to how the leagues are | |
| run, team selection, league structure, match completion | |
| timescales or anything else then post it below! | |
| Thanks for your time guys! | |

| I have enjoyed playing in the league, this current mini league | |
| will be my 3rd one. I have liked the random draw for which the | |
| (4*) team is that you get which I think is the fairest way to do | |
| it. Of course the team alocated to you is the worst one lol | |
| which everyone says, and it takes time to get use to your new | |
| team but thats quite enjoyable trying to get a new team how you | |
| want them to play. Wasnt much of a problem with people dropping | |
| out last season as most kept at it but when people do drop out | |
| its not as enjoyable. Maybe (just a sugestion) a �10 deposit to | |
| join the league before it starts which is kept until all games | |
| complete at the end of the season then it is returned. Anyone | |
| who leaves losses there deposit. Of course this would take up | |
| one of the GDs time to sort out so might not be able to do. | |
| Thought about maybe having prize money out of this �10 but | |
| thought it would make it too competative and loose the fun and | |
| the "lets have a in the league and see how i do" element. | |
| Hopeing the new fifa will be priced around the �25 mark rather | |
| than the overpriced �40 mark that games seem to be coming out | |
| at. | |

| One thing we wont do is charge members to play . GamerDads runs | |
| on a play when you can/like policy and i think we would lose | |
| members if there was a fee. | |
| Not knocking your idea as this is what the thread is about :D | |
| We will always have drop outs in ANY Gamer Night we run | |
| especially during the summer months due to weather/holidays etc | |
| . Even the Games industry hit a slow period during the summer | |
| thats why you will find most big games come out in the " Winter | |
| " season . | |
| The Fifa Leagues have always been strong but we need your input | |
| to make them better so tell us what you would like and maybe we | |
| can combined ideas and make it even better . | |

| I reckon the current format (random draw for teams) has been the | |
| best so far. Makes it a bit more interesting having to get used | |
| to a new team and getting away from all the ManU/Barcelona/Real | |
| madrid wannabes. | |
| Makes FIFA more interesting outwith the leagues as well (for me, | |
| anyway) as it kind of drives you to play online games as "your" | |
| team rather than the usual suspects. | |

| [/quote]Totally agree with clash , i especially like the team | |

| Does anybody know whether you can "spectate" an online game in | |
| FIFA 12 , like the old PES games on ps2? | |
| Would be great to watch some of the latter stage cup games | |
| semi's and finals etc , live. | |

| though. Its the only thing that PES has over FIFA. | |

| I've never played in the old leagues obviously down to only | |
| joining here on Friday just wished I found this place sooner. I | |
| use to be a huge fifa gamer but really dropped off in the last | |
| two years mainly down to the fact that got board of ppl quitting | |
| all the time now here I hope to take part in these leagues& | |
| hopefully it will revive my love for the game once again. | |
| Have to say the random team assignment is probably the best way | |
| to continue as it is the fairest way tbh & some of the other | |
| leagues I ese to take part in back in 09/10 days got really good | |
| when they went down this route. | |
| Another thing you guys could always do is once every other | |
| season finishes do a world cup type format were you just use | |
| randomly assigned teams again just instead of being a soul | |
| league all the time just mixes it up a bit....just an idea | |
| though as they say if its not broke don't fix it :-D | |

| One question for the community is how many would you like in the | |
| league/s? We could have 1 big league but then we wont have the | |
| buzz of promotion and relagation. Or a few leagues so for | |
| example the top 2 go up bottom 2 go down and maybe 3rd and 4th | |
| go into a play off with 2 from the league above. This would be | |
| good as we always find towards the end of the season interest | |
| dies a little when there is no hope of winning the league. | |
| I personally wold like to see promotion and relegation bt again | |
| the community decides ;D | |

| I think this one of the toughest things to try and decide on | |
| what is best for the league, the big league did work well but as | |
| you said a few people lost interest as they were out of | |
| contention. I personally enjoy the smaller leagues as you get a | |
| little community feeling with the fellow players in your little | |
| league. But on the flipside there's a huge community with a big | |
| league. | |
| Would quicker seasons be something to keep everyone engaged? say | |
| everyone playing each other just once? | |

| We have considered this mate and i think it depends on how | |
| strong that respective season finishes, sometimes everyone needs | |
| a few weeks to recover from a grueling campaign (sounds silly | |
| but its true). We could have a seperate cup competition during | |
| the season with the standard quality teams. | |
| Keep the suggestions coming ;D | |
