How unfair is this (fifa article)

guessing its just worked out by how many games you've won and doesn't take in to account anything else, abit stupid really

It will be your win record. So his win amount must be significantly higher than yours.

So you could go from div 10 to 1 in straight promotions and play (roughly) 40 ish games. If you win 38 of them out of 40, someone who has won 3800 out of 4000 would be assumed to be better than you.

Kind of like you can have a win% of 100 but only played 2 games. You will be ranked lower than someone who has played 2000 games and won 1800 of them. It's a harder figure to obtain.

why do you care?

Your mate has played over 2500 games. I'm assuming he doesn't really have a social life?

Fifa 12 is probably the most buggy and crappy one yet, i wouldnt take any notice of it
