World Cup Tournament

Has anyone else set up a World Cup tournament?

I'm finding it to be a blast, although I prefer the game before the update came into effect. Defense is really difficult now.

In my tournament, I control all teams and just pick which side I would like to control for each game. I have had some real doozys, like Mexico defeated Argentina 9 to 8, and Ireland beat Turkey 1-0. But the greatest upset of all was Cameroon beating Brazil 5-0! Webo was unstoppable. That team just seems to have "it". Speed, power...They are a serious dark horse, but I am only in the divisional round so far.

I also moved a team of ringers into the competition... the 1970's Cosmos with Pele and company, but they haven't dominated yet.

It's strange but it seems that sometimes the game is too easy and sometimes the game is too hard. I find myself adjusting sliders every game to keep things even, and then momentum swings completely in one direction or the other.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had major upsets happen in the World Cup.

thanks,
Doc

Re: World Cup Tournament

I created a World Cup as soon as I got the game. It's too bad, as if I'm correct they don't have all the teams required.

I found tourney mode didnt give a good atmosphere for a World Cup-level tournament, but still fun nevertheless. Also, as most people who play the game a lot and its different modes, tournament mode plays very weird to me. Very different from the other modes.

Re: World Cup Tournament

I've actually been messing around with WC style tournaments, and also Euro tournaments. I actually even have a save going with a 16 team "Euro League" where each team plays home and away.

Same thing as mentioned above, I set it so I can control each team and then pick which team I want to play as before the game.

Definitely a nice change up from just playing as clubs.

Re: World Cup Tournament

Piggy-backing a bit here...

It says when you go into custom tournament that you can customize the fixtures. I am apparently missing how to do this. Is this even possible?

Wanted to play the Champions League matches but am at a loss as to how to set up the specific matches I want...?

TIA.

Re: World Cup Tournament

One thing to mention before getting a custom tournament set up for international squads—make sure you go into the national team selection section of Team Management and look at rosters. There are several players left out on many top sides that you'll most likely want to include.
