King Costly Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Just wondering if the UEFA Cup changes to the Europa League in the game after the first season like it will do in real life? I doubt it will but thought i'd ask. I'm currently playing as Deportivo and if (a BIG if!) I get into Europe just wondering what competition i'll be playing in, thanks.

King Costly Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ah cool, thanks for that. Now i've just got to qualify! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Just to point out, there is no name change to the competition. SI do not have licenses to the UEFA Cup or Europa League, so the competition is called the EURO Cup from the start, and it remains this way even after the new format is introduced.

ElJaffacakeo Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 the format changes? to what? I thought it was simply the UEFA cup getting a name change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 the format changes? to what? I thought it was simply the UEFA cup getting a name change? The format changes to what it'll be in real life next season, not the name like arsenal_2111 said. It's still called the EURO Cup due to licensing issues.

Glenn Wakeford Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Aye, what i mean is, in reall life, i thought it was just changing from UEFA Cup to Europa League? I didnt actually realise that the format was changing too! Yeah they're restructuring it in order to try and pump some life back into it, interest has dropped in it the last couple of years.

IlikeJellybeans Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 To what? 1010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 To what? 1010 Isn't it obvious? To the UEFA Cup? I would guess the answer is yes. UEFA want teams to take it more seriously, so they would probably increase prize money to encourage teams to treat it properly. Not 100% sure though.
