Just use the national teams yourself?

Go Spain.

im not complaining. just seeing if other people think the same thing as i though which is going more towards the no side which i dont mind. still got there opinions that were respectful unlike yours.

naa dont like using them because people end up calling you shit. i go italy teams

I understand that.

Maybe there should be separate ladders then;

Ladder 1 - National teams only (Maybe a limited amount - Germany, Spain, England, Italy, France, Netherlands).
Ladder 2 - Club teams (Maybe English Premier League only or another league or just certain clubs - Chelsea, Barca, Real Madrid, Liverpool etc.)

I know FIFA is super popular, I haven't played comp on this site yet but it should be a fairly active ladder but I don't know if it is? Depends on the admins.

edit: Yeah just looked at the rules lol Admins have done a lazy job in my opinion. Need to enforce more rules/guidelines than that, set certain boundaries to make it more competitive. Having two ladders would be ideal imo, this needs to be looked into.

If you cant beat em join em'.

But yehh its pre homo.

naa dont think anyone would want to separate the national teams to the normal club teams

Well you just answered your own question basically.

Just use the National teams..

the poll answered my question

you can only use 14 players, even if the International teams have 20+ 80+ doesn't mean its more of and advantage then using Clubs who have 15+ 80+

I honestly don't believe that International teams as a whole are overpowered, and if we were to go down the route of banning 5 star teams, you'll be left with Napoli. Variety is reduced, the spectacle is reduced, and nobody particularly wants to play with crappy teams.

This isn't CoD where identifying an overpowered item is as simple as looking at weapon stats. In FIFA, a player using Chelsea can beat Spain, and similarly, a player using Spain can beat Chelsea. Nothing is clear-cut, team ratings and to a lesser extent player ratings are not a definitive guide, and so the trick therefore lies in having versatile tactics and being able to adapt.

For the record, you will find that most, if not all, competitive FIFA websites and competitions do not ban the use of certain teams.

I don't see what the problem is.
If everyone is using a national team, how are you going to get called a pussy or whatever you said if you use them. This isn't like Forza, where an S rated car could flog a F rated car no matter how goodthe driver is. On this game a 2 star team could even beat a 5 star team if the player is good.
If you take out the National teams, people will just start using Madrid and all the good English teams and you would have the same problem again.

CHELSEA??? wtf FC Basel are better than them, chelsea are horrible on FIFA 12

Pretty much this. Banning teams is illogical and unnecessary for many reasons.

@OP: This discussion pops up every year. If you want to gain further understanding as to why no teams should be banned, I recommend this thread from last year.

The rules will not be changed. Practice and internationals will not be an issue for you.

Tired of rehashing the same thread each year, if you want to know anything more read the thread siv linked.
