fuegote · 04-27-2005, 10:58 AM

I love watching the sport but i'm not educated in the sport like i am with football (american).

I have FIFA 2005 for the xbox and i've google searched to my heart's content, I need somewhere where I can learn:
1. all the different soccer formations including streangths and weakneses of each.
2. what does Real run?

I know the basic rules, offsides, corners, out of bounds, etc...i'm just unegimicated (uneducated) when it comes to acutal strategies.

thanks

RSL ran a 3-4-2 against FC Dallas. 4-4-2 if you count Rojas.

drop FIFA 2205 right now and go get Winning Eleven 8 from Konami

i'm 28 and love my xbox, reading the articles on both FIFA and Kanomi winning eleven, most said each had their streangths.

Why do you like winning 11? I want some serious responses here, i might go get it on the way home.

can i create real?

it plays less 'arcade' for me. I find myself acctually using plays and passing to get a goal, not just runnnig and spiinig and jupmng through the middle of the fireld to score a goal. i rarely have games that are higher than 4 goals each team. unlike fifa where it was common to have 10-8 games.

here are a couple therads about the differences from those who have played em both

also here is a thread for a huge MLS patch that will transform your game into an MLS paradise. I did all the menu backgrounds and icons for it!
