the title says it all

where is galatasaray the best team in turkey
i can`t find it in the turkish league.

This came up a while back and I think the reason that Galatasaray have been excluded from the game was because they apparently asked EA Sports for money. EA quite rightly told them to get rooted.

Every league or team that is in this got paid and don't think otherwise for a second. The problem is Galatasaray wanted to be paid more than EA was willing to give.

I have posted a message about this before. Galatasaray wanted money this is true, but the amount was never discussed. Since Galatasaray knows other big teams get money they said no to EA they can not have it for free.

I beleive this is very true. Let's see if Manchester U. did not get any money???? or AC Milan. You can not even take a picture of their statidium with paying them proabably.

There is patch for it, I say it is pretty good.

You are exactly right bdincer. Also you cannot publish certain players pictures without paying them a fee. Pele sued a book publisher because they put his picture in a book about WC70 without his permission, and got a million dollar settlement!

I think EA should have put in a fake team with fake names, name it Galatasabay or something, that is what all the other games which lack licenses do, but whatever, the whole situation stinks.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I really could care less about the Turkish league but if you're going to have it you have to have the best team. It screws up the Champions League.

Also, where are the teams from Portugal?? (Porto, Benfica) Porto is still in the Champions League yet EA didn't put them in the game either. But they did put Port Vale in there. What the hell is up with that? did THEY pay EA to have their club in the game? As well as some other crap teams in the Rest of the World Section. AND WHO THE HELL ARE THE SPECAIL GUESTS? I'm changing them and those damn EA 123&4 teams to clubs like Porto, Benfica and whoever else is missing.

EA YOU SUCK!
