BTW I played a World league match over the weekend against Cardiff and there was a player by the name of J. Lamo...who is this.... Jonah Lomu?  What is the reason for this does anyone know. Is there others who had their names misspelled??

I think it is a legal issue - maybe Swordfish still have the rights???

The French league teams have all their French players mispelt, but the ones in the national team aren't - confusing! It also means you can have two Jauzion's, Nyanga's, Pelous's in your team! [/b]

I'll go and check that out tonight....stupidity at it's best...

If anyone wants them, I have the 'best' available squads, which hopefully translates into harder opposition, for the bigger international teams.  I'll post them up if anyone is interested.

Yes please mate :bravo:

How did you work this out mate? Is there a list comparing players as far as stats goes somewhere?

What do you mean mate? The way I did it was just to look at each country's player base, and decide upon the best 4 props, 2 hookers eg, and then changed the sqaud to fit this. It took ages, but I have had harder matches since - including my first draw.

Ok, I thought you had a list. It is quite hard to compare two players for the same position because you have to exit the stats find the other player and then enter his stats...I would have to write things like that down...Is that why it took you a while....anyway hats off to you for doing it though.

I think it would have been nice if EA included a "compare player's stats" so you can look at 2 players' stats on the same screen, compare the two and then decide who to put in your team. Would've made it easier when selecting your squad when going into tournaments where form and morale plays a factor, especially since you have to rotate players to keep their form and morale up.


What do you mean "make it harder"? You've mastered Elite level already? I didn't think it would be that easy as I really struggled on Elite. Cheers for them lists, when it does get easier I will use them and see.
