About FIFA 08

Think everyone started playing fifa 08. While we're on fifa 06 first I was the only guy with a gamepad. But now many started to play with gamepad. Salman, Sam, Mullick and so on. I just found that mine thrustmaster dual analog 3.2 doesn't got full support on this fifa 08 but if I change the dev data and remove thrustmaster dual analog 3.2 and then add next to Thrustmaster Wireless Dual Trigger then I got features like keeper control, fake free kick direction. But I still don't have the fake through in features. If anyone can do that would you post it here? Another thing is scoring a goal seems to be very tough here. Does anybody have any tips for me? I'll be happy to learn.

me,my saitek and 360 vs salman

so far i was playing in kb fifa 05 and 06 .salman was on top of me.

but it is now old story.days r beganing to turn in my way as i now used to play with my saitek and xbox 360 gp. now it is my turn to beat hell out of salman. and i am enjoing it. so far in a competative match, i am unbetean(when i used gp)!!!! gotta play against him again and wanna beat him again.........

k/b challange

this thing happened that day when i was playing in titumir hall.

i was playing with a senior bro. in the middle of the game, i had to swap the keyboard. i just paused the game, unplugged the k/b i was playing with, fetched another one and plugged that and then resumed playing. now this took more than 30 seconds, and you know after 30 seconds, lan games are automatically resumed. so when i started playing again, the game had already been resumed. but i saw that my opponent couldn't score while i was away plugging the k/b! anyways, i kept on playing.

a few minutes later, my friend atiq came over and i told him - that i didn't concede a goal even without a keyboard to play. so we had a laugh and he decided he should play against me with my keyboard taken away.. because i thrashed him earlier by 6-2 and 6-2 in two matches.

later i told this thing to everyone.. and it leaked that atiq can't score even when his opponent is playing without a keyboard :D

PES6

i started playing pro evolution soccer 6 today. this might be one of the reasons i upgraded my pc. i used to run winning eleven 7 on my old pc but it never ran properly. now that i got the taste of PES, i don't feel like playing fifa anymore :P

after i got out of the sbh tourney, i was much irritated about the ways of fifa.. those arcade style long shooting and set-pieces. but pes is any simulation-fan's delight. i'll play pes feverishly from now on.. and only occasionally might try fifa for the sake of wcg.

results of SBH fifa tourney

the tournament ended today..

a total of 24 players joined the tournament, almost all the players from sher e bangla hall -split into 6 groups of 4 players each. the group champs and best two runners-ups advanced to quarter final. the quarter-finals:
shamim vai vs topu(won)
sajib(won) vs asif
anonno(won) vs murtaza vai
fahad(won) vs salman

semi-finals:
topu(won) vs fahad
sajib(won) vs anonno

final was between topu and sajib, and sajib became the champion.

playing and watching this tournament was fun. the matches were very competitive and standard very high. i think everybody who took part learned a lot from it.

i went out in the quarter finals and i'm rather bitter about it.. i conceded freak goals, my luck was out and i even missed a penalty. anyways.. the best players played in the final match and the best of the best won.. i have no doubt about it.

i heard a tournament involving whole buet is going to take place.. organized by cse. let's see about it..

what's been happening

long time since last post..

the main thing is i am playing badly. i am always generous when it comes to sharing gameplay tips and stuffs with others. the result is.. most of the people i play with has started to read my game very well and i am no longer comfortable playing with them. anyways.. it means i have to improve further.. and if i do, that's good.

we got some more generous big brothers in SBH. almost always a couple of pc's and a couple of players are available there so it's easy to have instant lan parties now. the downside is -those pc's don't run fifa that well.. so i can't quite play my usual game.

what's more, we're all going to use gamepads. already i practice with nirjhor's g/p, study the tricks and play on PS2.

mercury vs topway

this is a sad :( follow-up of 'mercury vs thrustmaster' -the previous post.. cause in last two days i didn't win a single match against nirjhor.. and he played with my cheap topway gamepad which has no analog stick or even a shift button.

why did i do so badly? it is obvious that nirjhor is always getting better. it is more difficult to dispossess him now than before. his finishing has also improved.. actually he played 4-5-1 with lone striker.. so he attacked very very well. i stuck with 4-4-2 which was probably another mistake.. he overloaded the midfield while i put too many men at the back. i think i'll switch to 3-4-1-2 next time we play.
