Running into this currently in my US career. I'm a striker, my current rivals are Altidore, Johannsson, and Eddie Johnson. Due to the rivals having to be on the field the lineup currently features

ST - Altidore
CAM - Me
LM - Johannnsson
RM - Johnson

Dempsey/Donovan have to come off the bench until the game (hopefully) decides to switch the rivals. I'm really enjoying the game, but definitely some curious design choices by EA in this.

edit: Finished the last game and it shifted to Jozy (3rd), Donovan (4th), Me (5th), Johansson (12th). So hopefully they drop Johannsson soon.

And the game just froze for the 5th time today. Doubt it's my console, I haven't had issues like this with any other game.

If anybody is curious (as I was), here is the breakdown of licensed kits vs. fake kits:

61 Real Kits of 203 nations (30.0%)

By Region:

AFC - 6 Real of 43 nations (14.0%)
OFC - 1 Real of 10 nations (9.1%)
CONCACAF - 6 Real of 35 nations (17.1%)
CONMEBOL - 10 Real of 10 nations (100.0%)
UEFA - 30 Real of 53 nations (56.6%)

If anybody wants, I can list the 61 countries with real kits.

This is why EA needs a uniform editor that players can use to make the correct kits.

At least they got South America right.

Please do if it's not so much trouble. Curious how strict you were with the definition of real kits. On the EA forums, some of the more eagle-eyed users have spotted inconsistencies with many "real" kits. I'm not too worried with the exactness of the stripes on the socks, etc... On the other hand, Montserrat (CONCACAF team I'm choosing to play through qualifying first) have kits that are so shockingly representative (for a minnow) that, when compared to the inconsistencies of some "real" kits, I'd say their real kit was included...(Montserrat's kit is only really egregiously wrong in the placement of the number)

Someone said full qualification was not WC 2010. If I'm mistaken I thought that was in that game.

It wasn't. That was one of the reasons I traded the game in after a week. CONCACAF started with the hexagonal. There was that and the actual WC tournament was kind of broken. Teams that should have qualified according to the standings didn't. That game was rushed. Between that and the FIFA 10 debt glitch, I told myself I'd never buy another FIFA game. But, if this has full qualification and the bugs that were in South Africa 2010 have been fixed, I'll likely pick this up. The France '98 and Germany '06 games were a lot of fun to play. I hope they've recaptured that.

PS- I kind of wish they'd bring back indoor mode like they had in the France '98 game. That was something different, and a blast to play!

In customize menu, go to create player option, then move your right stick, and the edit player option will appear, and from there you can change kit numbers...However, I confirm that when you modify your squad, and enter a game mode: world cup or qualifying...the game messes up the squad, you have a forward as a goalie, a golie as a midfielder and so forth...so you have to reset again the squad before the first match and save your game mode...

By the way, as long as they keep the main colors of the uniforms real, I don't care about licensed kits...and I haven't found any important issues about uniforms after 16 teams or so checked.., in fact I like better Mexico's uniform in the game than the real one...

I like it so far. Only played a couple games but it seems good to me.
