thats nothing, when you have the same team twice in a group stage, or spanish teams in the ENGLISH FA Cup, then you have something to post a screen shot about (because I do) :o ;)

it's all comical.

has anyone noticed that the fixtures in the second season on career mode are dumb?

Sorry, my previous post was meant for the EPL.

By the way, this CL thing is not a new one. I had this problem too in FIFA 2003.

in my 2nd season (The first on CL) in my group it was Leverpool ()england), Welverhampton (England) Man UTD (England) and helsinborg (Sweden)
the 2nd season in CL in my group
MAN UTD (England) Leverpool (England) Chelsea (England) and FC Sparta Pragh

and also in the first season Arsenal was relegated

They should also include the seeding system into the game, I don't mind if the seeding system stays the same each season just include it!!

i hated it in fifa 2003 that you couldnt randomize the CL groups. but i hate it even more that there even is no CL mode in FIFA 04!!

there is CL mode in FIFA2004
first you should qualify to it ... in career mode
and i think if you won the ECC it will be unlocked but iam not sure about this point .. i'll try to do it

I am on my 2nd season with Saints, what is weird is 3 English teams on same group in ECC.

What is even lot funnier is after 11 matches in FA Premier League, Man U is last! in table with 1 win 10 losses. Geez. If they get demoted by end of the season I would stop playing and wait for patch v1.2 or something comes out LOL.

i think the first on is a game in the ECC the second in the league and the third in the ECC :p
i have this problem too .. i always play the home and away games in the ecc with the same team one after another ... maybe this is because EA dosen't have the CL licence so they cant make the fixtures the right way ... also look at the Round of 16th .. it's knock out and not groups

i doubt you need a license to set up a season schedule...its just either plain laziness or plain stupidity...either way its sucks

I thought the second group phase doesn't exist anymore? (in real life)

10-12-2003, 10:31:AM
It doesn't exist anymore... even in CM4 they had the first season with a 2nd group stage... and then the next year it was knockouts and no 2nd group stage...

No, cause he doesn't have the natural talent nor the dishonest personality that Moggi has for this, so it must have been the latter.......

PS: Is it true that when you play with Juve in the game, there is an extra option with which you can use prestige points to hire prostitues so you can bribe referees?

Ha, in my season my group included Ajax, freakin Groningen and Eindhoven along with one team I cannot remember. I exited at that point. :kader:

I am not playing this game again.

Oh yeah, Arsenal and Man U also did not qualify :rolleyes:

I have Manure, Chelsea and Liverpool in the same group. The other England team that qualified was Tottenham I think.
Only 3 spanish teams qualified, Real was absent. One group was totally useless.

Damn the system.
