Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

I actually played it on highest level.
I am an 18 year old football freak. I have spent the last 6 years of my life perfecting my PS2- football playing technique.
I create lots of chances....but it is hard with crappy finishers (compared to Van Nistelrooy, Crespo, Rooney, Ronaldo etc.).
The first match was a 10 minute match and then I changed it back to 5 mins.
someone won't be happy when ps2 dies.
Get a ps3 and practice mate. Much better on next gen!

I just played in an international cup witrh the Mariners.
16 of the world's best teams in a knockout tournament. Max. of one from each country...
Italy- Inter Milan, Spain- R Madrid, England- Man Utd
Home and Away
Round 1- Mariners vs Lyon
1st Leg (away) 0-5 (Mariners won), crazy (elrich man of the match with assist and goal)
2nd leg (home) 1-0
Aggregate 6-0

Quarter Final- Mariners vs PSV
1st Leg (home) 0-0
2nd leg (away) 2-1 (mariners win)
Aggregate 2-1 (mariners)

Semi Final- Mariners vs Real Madrid
1st Leg (home) 2-0 (mariners win)
2nd leg (away) 2-0 (mariners win)
Aggregate 4-0 (mariners)

Final- Mariners vs Inter
1st goal (Inter)(30 mins in)- Figo cross- confusion at back, ball gets hit towards Crespo (by our defenders) who easily hits it past Vukovic.
2nd goal (40 mins in)- through ball for Crespo- Danny runs out- Crespo colleys it past him (Vujovic on edge of box).
1st goal for Mariners (85th min)- Matty Simon on a run- has a shot (good shot too) keep gets a hand to it and kwassie taps it in.
then 90th min Mrdja has a run and for some reason I take a shot from 25 yards. Just misses...
2-1 loss (memory of grand finals...as I see the Mariners players lump to the ground).

Highlights of tournament...Top scorer- Rooney with 7 goals then Mrdja with 6 goals from only 5 games (i rested him in second leg against Lyon).
Greg Owens played right back in a game and got the man of the match. Also scored a goal when he cut in from right and hit the ball with his left from outside the box against Casillas (Madrid).

i am sick at the moment (I havent been able to go to training, nor uni, nor train my u13s team). I havent been to uni since last Friday. Besides the tournament consisted of 3 rounds of home and away + final (which = 7 games= 35 mins) one night of this week.
Almost took me longer to write my post about it!

only a football nerd...i live and breathe it!
seriously people that love football get annoyed at me with talkin about it too much. Look at my post count 6.9 posts a day! (better than most on here?) Not to mention I referee, coach an u13s team, play in 18s + playin 21s/hopefully a few times for reserves on weekends too!
I live and breathe football!
Not to mention my degree is in feet...football!
Seriously I want to specialise in sports Podiatry...

So do people think that me...being a ps2 legend for football would not be as successful on ps3...?
I can win against mates on Xbox (which I hate the controls not to mention it has a different feelin to it)
Give me a week and I would 100% adjust!

The game is completely different to PS2. Even if you had a week on PS3 you still wouldn't be as good at it as you were on PS2.

you think...you underestimate my mettle!
Would you say the game on Xbox is compeltely different to PS2?
where that only took me 30 mins- 1 hour to adjust (I am giving a longer period of 1 week to fully adjust to the futuristic ps3)
I am an obsessive person!

OK we understand that you are good at FIFA. Maybe you should pursue a career as a professional FIFA player or something along those lines.

5 minute matches?
I can't stand anything less than 15 on Pro Ev; Top Player difficulty- 20 if I have a bit more time..

mate...if i do 10 minute matches the scoring gets ridiculous...
in a 5min match I average (when teams are fair) maybe 2-3 goals. I get as high as 6-7 goals (which is not bad in 5mins)
In my last 10 min match- I get 5-0 as mariners against Lyon (i am extremely capable of defending!!!)
I would hate to see wat would happen in 20 min match...I will give it a try on Saturday maybe...
I like playin 10-20 min match only against friends (where I do my famous Danny Vukovic runs where I dribble field and score with him :p)

NOTE: I used to have to do 10 mins atches for A-league due to being unable to convert abysmal chances with Mariners (harder to score with less talented team compared to Madrid) but can now manage it!

It's already out for 360 - not sure if it's out for PS3 or not.  Try the "Download Squad File" option and see if you're able to download one that's dated at the end of February.
