You should just Edit the Upcoming Games to record your win. The link you provided is used for adding new games to the schedule, but I added all the games already.

What are you guys thoughts regarding difficulty? I was thinking Varsity (the second diff level) and 10 minute halves? The thing about using lower difficulties online is that it really puts a premium on the user having to play good defense.

Yeah, I had some unstoppable bleeding and for awhile they weren't
ruling out cancer. But after that experience and a followup with
my GP today, it is all good. I still need to get a test soon (the
bad part of getting older) but right now I feel better than I have in
the past 48 hours. And ready to play some MM!!! |

Back at you Jason. Two blowouts that seemed to be hampered by the home team getting freaky lag in both games. Not that either home team would have won but I think the scores would have been closer. -------------

Hard to explain other than saying the home teams players are covered in molasses and the response time for anything you do seems severely impacted. It does not feel like lag AT ALL. The game itself runs smoothly. Me and Jason have had some good games when we first started but all of our "season" games have been this way. Look at the scores, the away team wins every game and none of them were that close. I am going over to the EA March Madness board to see what they are saying. Edit: Went there and saw little mention of online play/issues there. -------------

I've been itching to buy a soccer game since watching a game competition on G4 last week (FIFA 08 was one of the games played). UEFA has also been out for a while and there don't seem to be any major complaints about it. Also, soccer is the only sport that's not accounted for in my 360 library.

8 games played: 1 win 7 losses Only 1 goal scored by me What's even more pathetic is that I'm using Italy and playing against 1 and 2 star teams on amateur. I finally scored my FIRST goal in the game during extra time against Kazakhstan (a 1-star team and Borat's home) to win 1 - 0. This game is fun, but boy do I suck bad at it. ------------- http://profile.mygamercard.net/JasonSGN">
