Yep, Oceanian teams mainly, but also Asian teams and a few other things. New Caledonia and Tahiti are both in there, New Caledonia are not too bad actually. @John - American Samoa's players were rated in the 30s and 40s...lets put it that way. The other most worst ( ) team is Montserrat.And Ligue, its good that there are lots of African teams in there but dont get your expectations up too high about some of the data. Our African editors were terrible and some of the info is just impossible as you can imagine. But we did put a fair bit of effort into getting the Starting XIs and the team overall ratings right - balancing out the global equilibring between all the confederations was quite hard.

Nice! Weird that Hugh helped make the game and now you're reviewing it! Just saw this link in your article too - how to do penalties in the new system. Different indeed!Hugh, this might seem quite obvious but I'm not sure. How do you rate them? What's the process of giving someone a rating? Do you look at the team in general, like Tahiti, and think "they're meh, they must be below 50" and then give them ratings below 50? Do you look at games and highlights of the players? What's the process?

You're pretty right with your Tahiti example. Who is to know what Tahiti should be rated, but what we can do is at least rate them on the basis of their results against other Oceanian teams. There's not going to be many highlights of the games out there but we can look at the squads and match reports, ie if one guy played all the matches in qualifying then obviously he's gonna be the best player. We try and fit them into rough strength guides against other confederations, the FIFA rankings come a little into play here. For instance, how are we to know who is better, Antigua & Barbuda or Tahiti? You really cant but you can make estimated guesses. |

I always wondered about the accuracy of such ratings

Oh dear, oh dear, this doesn't sound good at all (although indeed, some teams are hard to work with because of the lack of information that is available). Is there still time for editing though? Anyone I can get in contact with to see if Senegal's ratings are fine? I could try and look at a few other teams if needed (Depends on who ofcourse, don't expect me to magically get a team like Botswana correct though ). Good job though, interesting stuff with the rating system as well, it's the only way to go I guess And the team's top scorer is rated high too? @John: Nice article! Since when did you work for those guys?

No worries We'll look into the amount of damage done once the game is out

Judgement day ![]() Ligue, I met two screenrant writers at Comic-Con last July, and one was branching out into GameRant. By fluke chance, we were sitting across from eachother on both connected flights home, and he gave me his business card that had his twitter. We tweet'd at eachother a bit before he offered a spot for me writing. Grrrr I played the demo again the other day. Playing FIFA 10 to level up my Be A Pro for the game

That's cool Should look decent for the resume as well I'll have to train my Pro after I get my Xbox back (it has been acting up again, I asked for a replacement this time ). The game should be out by the time I get it back anyway

Man, I had to sent my Xbox in a while ago, and I just went out and bought another Elite first day it was gone. I'm a sad addict ![]() They messed up shipping, so my other was gone for a month. I would have died (they fixed it, sent it back here, then my post office here turned around and shipping it right back to Toronto for some reason. They didn't know why they got it back, and they put it in their warehouse, where they lost it. lol)

That's crazy I would've gone mad @Hugh: One of the guys who runs the data editing contacted me this morning and gave me a spot (for Senegal only as I asked ), but I'm just checking the squad at this point (I can't say anything about it though ).
