Ughh...how unrealistic. A World Cup w/out the US. This has totally ruined the fun of buyin CM 03/04. Scouting has just become a huge disappointment. this affect every aspect of the game.

IMO, the FA wouldn't sue SI or EIDOS, because they wouldn't want to cause a riot amongst the millions of UK-based CM fans.

yeah, without US, the game is a lot less realistic. But i think US will be in the game, with the players who play in Europe and greyed-out players

i think you're right, they cant just... get rid of the country, wouldnt that be to do with FIFA, not the US themselves..?

TROD.

Yea, you can't copyright a countrie's name so the NT will probably be in the game.

Oh, and about the MLS being in the U.S. version of the game. No, CM isn't even released here.

CM isn't released here. I got my copy on eBay from someone in Thailand.

MLS was removed from the game because of "legal issues." This means that it was removed because of copyright laws. In the USA, you have to get permission to use something in a game. In the FIFA games, they have to get permission from the MLS to use the league in the game. CM didn't have permission which is why it was never released in the USA. They also may not have released it here because they thought it wouldn't sell. Either way, this really sucks for me just because I really liked using Americans from MLS in the game. Also, guys like Ruiz, etc won't be in the game because they play in MLS.

It is simply a huge dissapointment to be without the American leagues for the upcoming game, I hope SI or someone starts work on a patch immediately that would put the leagues and esepcially our national team into the game.

Our national team will be in the game, it just won't have any MLS players on it.

Officially, SI have stated, that they will not be releasing any patches to add the US leagues to the game. Of course, they would never release an official patch, as the legal issues are still in play there. They would also not mention an unofficial patch, as that too would call on legal issues...
It is not yet known if the official editor, that's going to be released with 03/04, will have the ability to add new leagues, my guess is it won't.

It's really too bad, even if the editor allows you to add new leagues all of the wacky MLS stuff will not be in there.

Maybe I should go back to programming US Soccer Manager?
