Not that I even have a 360, but I assume that doesn't mean you can play XBL with it?

No, we should be able to play on XBL with it, and the nice 360 controller! Volleys, here I come!!

Now the search begins for that elusive option file save, and a way to transfer it. Baing a Mac guy, the new dvice likley won't work for me (99% sure), so I would be looking for a kindly soul to ship a mem. card to me, PayPal works for me. . . .

Damn. Even with the 360 set to 480p, there is MAD underscan in this game. Even though the game has a screen setting option, zooming all the way in isn't enough. Grr...

Well, i've never seen even a hint of the slightest image retention on my pdp yet, so I'll just see what happens!

Wow, one more thing:

This means good ol' ATXJ can join the league! I think he'll have to start in the 2nd Division, it's only fair. And he gets the 5-star pool of teams, but I see no reason not to let him join as there are basically no games played yet.

If he wants, of course.

Good news, but damn I just signed Gerrard for my ML team

Hell Yeah I want in!

I was just about to get really bummed and consider ebaying the game because of all the talk of a March BC update that hadn't appeared, but that's all out the window.

Whenever I can hop in the mix im ready and willing.

I'm able to start at 5pm EST and start games through 11pmEST. My preference would be to block a couple of games back to back, the earlier the better, but one early and one late might work out, too.

Let me know what you guys can do.
Did anybody see this post?
I haven't gotten any replies. I got my game with Jared out of the way, but the rest of you guys I haven't heard anything from. Anyways, that's pretty much my schedule on Tuesdays.

Thursdays are the same, except this Thursday where I'll only be able to start a game from 4:30EST until 6:30EST

Any takers??
Mo, I should be able to play tomorrow around 5pm EST.

I'll come on and look for you then, Sully!

Guys...just played my first game against BB...and when I try to add all of the goals scored, only Van Nistelrooy shows up in my players list...even though I have added them all to my team roster. Any idea why that is?

Edit: Nevermind...read that the date has to be 0006. Got it.

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 3:06 am

And by the way...here is the result:

Bayern Munich 0 : 4 Manchester United

Van Nistelrooy 33'
Giggs 58'
Giggs 61'
Rooney 75'

No Bookings
No Injuries

Good game bb...I just happened to put my chances away...you just kept barely missing them. It wasn't quite as lobsided as the score indicates.

For all playing it via the 360 now I found a remedy to this problem.

All you need to do is switch HD on your AV cable in the back of the console off of HD before you boot it up. I guess for some reason the signal is sent with that massive bit of overscan making it look like 4:3 material whenever your switch is set in HD. However, when you turn your AV cable to normal it works just fine and since the game doesn't even support 480p or 720p naturally on the Xbox your not losing anything in terms of graphics by turning off HD.

Enjoy!

I guess Jason hasn't allowed everyone to do the "manage team" thing since I still can't do it. I'd like to add a picture to my team when it's possible.

It will be done today.

Anyone else in the lower division ready to get there game on? Jimmy, whenever you are ready to go let me know.

DB, I had a blast even though you gave it to me pretty good. You finished, I didn't...game over. Hopefully, next time I can give you a better run.

If we can keep this going this should be pretty good now that it is on the XBOX 360. Actually, as a side note, DB played on the 360 and I played on XBOX 1. No online issues for those who are wondering.

Now, as far as AtXj is concerned, my feeling is he should join up into the 2nd Division, but be assigned a team from the 5* group of teams. He should get 2 additional chances to reroll if he doesn't like the team that is selected, just like the rest of us (even though none of us used that 3rd draw).

Yes, we are well past the registration deadline, but we all knew he wanted in but had no Xbox; now with the back-compat update he is good to go. Plus, there have been next to no games yet played in either division.

So, what we need is for Jared to do the random team assigment for him, the team draw round one.

FYI, I'll be available to get in games tonight (after 7pm eastern), so if any of my opponents are available tonight, PM me.

Ah, I was hoping for Fulham or Borough.

Let's roll again.

Sudz: Unfortunately, I think you'll have to wait until the next season, which will start in a few weeks. We will have a registration period at the close of this season, and will try to accommodate any newcomers interested at that time.

As it is now, though, AtXj, who is a special case as he was in the league before losing his Xbox, brings both divisions to the desired number of 6 teams.

Next season, we will think about expanding the Divisions, or better yet if 3 or 4 others besides yourself want in, we can create a 3rd Division. But for now, we are set with two 6-team Divisions, and will look towards changing things for the next season cycle.

I am always up for a friendly match, of course! And maybe we could have another tournament of some kind, to include those 360ers not in the league. Just a thought.
