This is painfully slow. I want more open games.

Hit me up for some friendlies so we can both practice.
I need all the practice I can get.

STATUS UPDATE

All games played:

Real Madrid (Downing)
AC Milan (Niddler)

Six played:

Juventus (jsence)
Barca (kdog)

Less than four games played:

Chelsea (Matt)--4 games
Bayern (Shel)--4 games
Arsenal (SuperJake)--4 games
Dortmund (KRG)--TWO GAMES?!
ManCity (Seeit)--TWO GAMES?!
PSG (Reign)--4 games

I can understand the games with Arsenal and Dortmund not being played (as they've both gone AWOL) but there's no excuse for PSG vs City to not be played. You guys are both active and around.

I'm going to play Matt and I'll be done; Kdog has two with Shel and he will be done.

Anybody with less than six games played will be not only eliminated, they won't be allowed in the FIFA league again anytime soon. We've had eleven days, a game takes 20 minutes. This is unacceptable. If you're unable to play six because of two absentee owners, please contact me immediately.

Actually there's quite a few reasons we haven't gotten the match in... while we're both "around" we're not frequently "around" at the same time. While you post that we have 8 games open, the reality is, it's like 4. I had KRG on Sunday and he couldn't get connected to PSN, so I missed that opportunity.

The point of my post is that I wanted more games open, so I have people that I can find to get more games in. I WANT to play, not be sit on my thumbs waiting a week for more options to open.

If my activity level is an issue, I'll step aside and you can carry on.

We've yet to find a time where we could both play. I only can really play 3 nights a week (as you know) and thus far those nights haven't matched up. Don't worry about us, we'll get it playled

No, your activity level is fine, I guess I should've been more clear on there not being an excuse for you two being played before the deadline, not being played "yet". At the end of the day, there's not much excuse on that one because you are both very active. Sorry I wasn't more clear on that one.

If KRG has an issue then have him contact me; all I see is he has two games played and that's very concerning as I didn't know he was having any issues. For the most part I'm very happy with the participation and mostly everyone has done well getting their matches in.

As for more games, we couldn't "open" more games because the next matches will be the knockout round, and those haven't been determined yet.

Got ya.

My only issue with KRG is that he isn't on AIM... ever. At least with Seeit, if I see him on, I can harass him, or vice versa. I just happened to find him on PSN Sunday and gave it a shot.

I know, and I will be reaching out to KRG tonight. This isn't the first time he's signed up for a FIFA league and he's been hit or miss in the past. I'm hoping that he picks it up.

I have a small issue with saying I Have gone AWOL......I have posted in a scheduling thread I created for my team but had no replies to that thread.....The one person who reached out to me hit me up and I tried to play but for some reason it said the EA servers were not available....it was not an issue that I am having......The only nights I could not play were when I had coaching and have been around and available....nobody has reached out to me except for reign on Sunday....I will reach out to my opponents in my scheduling thread and other ways as well.

This is unfair as well.....It is true I am rarely on AIM because we have one computer in my house and my wife is often doing work on it in the evening after kids go to bed and I feel she should not be bothered with messages.....There are many other ways to get a hold of me as I regularly check the forum and on ps4......I have participated in many FIFA leagues here and have only not finished one, the last one we did with the fantasy rosters. If you do not want me around then I will drop just kind of frustrating when just about this whole page is about me not being around.

yes but do not have AIM on it.


Anyway, I am around tonight to play after about 8:30pm, I will not be on AIM but leave a message here or PM or on PS4 at krgkmg. I will not be around Thursday Night because I will be scouting a team we might play in state tournament and home late.

seeit - Man City
Superjake - Arsenal
Reign - PSG

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you soon!

I can only go by what I see on the boards and on AIM, and I only saw a few posts from you/Jake, rarely see you both online (which for you I know you often aren't as you're busy), and that's all I can go by. Wasn't an attack on you, "AWOL" for me means I'm not seeing you anywhere. If I felt you had bailed I would say so; that's why I reached out to you because I wasn't sure if it was just a busy time, if you were having PSN issues, etc. I also wouldn't have let you join if I didn't feel you were someone who usually finishes/sticks with it, keep that in mind.

In his defense, AIM was taken out of the Android market for some phones. In fact, the only reason I had it on my S3 was that I had saved the file on my microSD card.

Got all my games in except against Jason. Told me he was available after 10 tonight but wont answer. Not sure I'll be able to play the next 2 days to get them in. On to the knockout round.
