After months of hard work on bugs fixing and, especially, rosters update to the 2006/07 season (including new youths, new and updated players that you never saw in a soccer game), the final update for CEP06, namely CEP 2.1 update is ready for download as the last patch released for Career Expansion Patch for Fifa 2006.

You will find inside it a massive update for the following leagues:

• Argentina Primera Division
• Belgium League (a FULL update)
• Bolivia Torneo
• Brazil Serie A
• Chile Primera Division
• Colombia Copa Mustang
• Croatia League
• Greece League
• Ireland Eircom League
• Romania League
• Russia Premier League (a FULL update)
• Slovakia League
• Slovenia League
• Switzerland Challenge League
• Switzerland Super League
• USA MLS League

This final release is aimed for all the FIFA gamers that want to wait to play with FIFA 2007 and that still love the 2006 version of the EA game.

Note that you don't need any previous updates before the 2.1 (just apply over your CEP 2.x version); as usual you can find the CEP 2.1 final update in the Downloads section.

Today or tomorrow I will publish for all the 2006 CEP users the final update for the CEP 2.0, namely the CEP06 update 2.1, that will contain all the fixes for the bugs reported and a massive rosters update for a lot of teams.

I'm very proud to include in this list of updated leagues some tournaments as USA MLS and South American leagues that lacked of a real update. I checked personally every single club website to include all the new players and the most updated rosters to the present season, you will be delighted by the presence of all the new promises of championships like United States MLS, Brazilian Serie A and so on.

In the meanwhile the work on CEP07 (that will be the CEP07 3.0 as first version) is at a very good point: basically I have completed the long and complex conversion of the db, of all the assets and gui elements and partially of the kits: when the kits conversion will be finished the first version of CEP 3.0 for Fifa 2007 will be ready and we can start the betatesting.

In the following hours I will post the detailed announcement about betatesting so we can start working together quickly to release the first release for Fifa 2007. So, stay tuned on Sweetpatch because we are going to revolutionise Fifa 2007 too, and considering how good are the improvements done by EA be sure that your FIFA experience will be something really astonishing!

These are the last days before the CEP 2.0 release, as the work on new leagues and teams is 99% completed and the CEP team is starting to test the huge work done during these months: as always you can check the status of our work in the dedicated section of the site. This is the week of the last additions, the last graphical touches of class to pack everything and up it on the web.

This third preview of the final release of Career Expansion Patch for Fifa 2006 is about the rosters update that has been realized. I'm proud to announce that CEP 2.0 will feature the last and most precise update for the incoming season, not only with full relegations/promotions replacements (thanks to the number of new divisions too!) but with all the transfers happened until the last minut of transfer market: you will find the last-minute contract deal for lower divisions teams as well as the most important transfers realized during this summer, from Hartlepool to Real Madrid, from Necaxa to Goteborg, from Dundee United to Genoa: has been a great satisfaction to see that some transfers, for example, from Borussia Dortmund II (youth team of Dortmund) and Borussia Dortmund were possibile inside the CEP database as the youth team was already created, and so on with many new young stars that have been added to the database. The work of updating the rosters has been one more time the demonstration of how good and fruitful can be the team work: I've been able to work days and days on contributions from all over the world that make possible for you to have the most accurate and precise update to the fifa rosters, as always the active partecipation of many did possible to give you a top-quality product.

This work on rosters has been completed with a more precise and proper redistribution of starting lineups too: has been strange noticing how EA put in the original game some defenders at the centre of the attack of some FL TWO teams for example, or how the best players of a team have been relegated to the bench: CEP 2.0 will feature a more rational and realistic system of line-ups so that during your career you will play against teams at the top of their official team. So, the leagues that you will find COMPLETELY updated (this means ALL the transfers, not only the most famous market movements), are:

1. French Ligue 1
2. French Ligue 2
3. English Premiership
4. English Championship
5. English League One
6. English League Two
7. Scotland Premier League
8. Netherlands Eredivisie
9. Netherlands Jupiler League
10. Spanish Primera Division
11. Spanish Segunda Division
12. Italian Serie A
13. Italian Serie B
14. Italian Serie C1A and C1B
15. Swedish Allsvenskan
16. German Bundesliga 1
17. German Bundesliga 2
18. Denmark Superligaen
19. Argentina Primera Division
20. Belgium Jupiler League
21. Austria Bundesliga
22. Mexican Primera Division
23. Mexican Primera A
24. Norway Tippeligaen
25. Portugal Bet and Win League
26. Switzerland Super League
27. Switzerland Challenge League

While all the new leagues that CEP 2.0 will perform will be already updated. All this huge work on updating the rosters from all the world will not be only a great improvement for the fifa 2006 final CEP version, but the core of the fifa 2007 CEP version that will perform extra-correct and updated teams, fixing the errors that we often find inside the starting rosters in the original game (we're all awaiting the demo that will unveil some details to start the work..).

You will discover how intense and wide has been our work on rosters directly playing with the CEP as we prefer facts instead of words. Can't wait for the new CEP release that will transform radicallly your soccer gaming experience? Release date is question of days, in the meanwhile you can wait for CEP Preview 4 that will discover new leagues, teams and tournaments added for the next CEP release.

FIFA ™ Evolution is NK FOOTBALL ©’s last gameplay update for FIFA ™ 06 and 2006 FIFA World Cup ™, so does it play good? I’d be lying if I said no. This really is the Evolution of FIFA ™ 06 gameplay.

There’s more than 1 update to install and this is what makes the final release the most exciting! You’ll have hours of gameplay until FIFA ™ 07 is released next month. No more easy games

NK FOOTBALL © FIFA ™ Evolution is the next step-up in the FIFA ™ 06 gaming world! Promising to deliver the most realistic gameplay, fine tuned ball physics, a hard-to-break defence and highly skilled CPU goalkeepers, winning is going to take all that you have against the mightiest club teams!

Matches will be harder to dominate and take control over, and will use the new method of ‘player timing’ to help keep defences together and harder to break. In the past, defences were too quick to close down, which ultimately left gaps to play the ball through. Instead players’ will have to work harder and this should give a great sense of achievement

NK FOOTBALL © believes it has nothing to do with pitch size or player scales. The game isn’t flawed by how quickly it takes to get to ones goalkeeper or how the players’ are spaced out. The main issue is timing, players’ running into the oppositions half too often leaving them defenceless and giving you the easy break. The latest effort of the CEP creator Ockham’s gameplay offered a variation on the V6 gameplay (created by NK FOOTBALL ©) with altered pitch size. Interesting to play, but dominating the CPU is still active

Did you enjoy the promotional video for NK FOOTBALL © V8? Well, an advert has just been put together, because it’s closer than you think to complete! For those who haven’t been around, the update itself was pulled back into development on the day it was supposed to be released exclusively for Sweetpatch. The main issue was the difficulty of the update and the physics. NK FOOTBALL © will not release any update that isn’t going to satisfy the gamer in some way or another. V8 IS the most realistic update NK FOOTBALL © has ever created!

Click Here To Watch The V8 Advert!

NK FOOTBALL © wants to show you a promotional video for V8! This is all just a bit of fun, but puts across the message that V8 is the most realistic gameplay update yet for FIFA™

Click Here To Watch The Promotional Video

NK FOOTBALL © V8 is to be released soon. The update was held back into development because the game became too easy to predict. The CPU was strong in areas, but user had an easy kick of the ball when it came down to winning matches on World Class. The most highly skilled of FIFA ™ 06 gamers would not have enjoyed the challenge.

V8 is now better and stronger! Ball physics are much more realistic, and the pace of the game is much slower and flows much more realistically. The most realistic ball physics in any gameplay update before. The tactical side to football will really stand out now as CPU pressure is greater and goalkeepers are not solid on your side! They can be beaten by CPU players' much easier, meaning your defence really has to protect your goalkeeper like never before and you will appreciate every shot he keeps out.

There is no release date as of yet for V8, but the changes to CPU are also evident in the update for 2006 FIFA World Cup ™

Our newest member to the Sweetpatch Development Posse, Kastriot Gashi, has sent us an excellent pack of Adidas +Teamgeist 3GB Balls for your game of FIFA 06.

The AI ball physics haven’t been altered and all credit goes to EA SPORTS ™ for the ball physics and player speed/movement. The update for the World Cup game is based on V8, not converted. The V8 CPU difficulty for all the levels has been tuned and copied over into the World Cup game resulting in a much more aggressive, intelligent and challenging game of football. 2006 FIFA World Cup ™ now feels just as it did when you first installed it, but now with a CPU that’s even smarter! This is the definitive update for those finding the original gameplay too easy.

NK FOOTBALL © V8 will now come bundled with an update for 2006 FIFA World Cup ™. This all-new update boasts all the latest gameplay tuning and refining from V8, straight into the ‘Greatest show on Earth!’

Enjoy and see you all on the 30th!

NK FOOTBALL © can confirm that V8 is on its way and quicker than you think! V7 flopped in terms of difficulty, the FIFA ™ gamers are learning quicker and NK FOOTBALL © underestimated the advanaced players' ability. With all the values and information already in some shape or form throughout the versions, V8 is basically what it has all come down to. DIFFCULTY! V8, in ways is the more 'advanced' version of V6. You get the playability of V6 and V7, yet challenging play that no other version offers. V6 legendary difficulty is somewhat of a challenge for the average gamer. For the advanced gamer it can still prove to be challenging to an extent. So what did NK FOOTBALL © do? Well, legendary difficulty was tweaked and refined and copied into the SEMI-PROFESSIONAL difficulty mode in V8! Do you know what this does? It makes for some awesome games of FIFA ™ 06! I won't even tell you what's happened to Professional, World Class and Legendary V8 difficulty modes. All I can say is, DEFEND!

This CPU takes shot from all over the pitch. No more build-up to clinical chances, no more 'obvious' goals. No longer are keepers easily beaten by the obvious tap-in shots or 'sweet-spot' power-metre. You have got to WORK for your goals; even if you win the match...you ain't won the league ;)

V8 is to release on the 30th June 06! Be prepared.

It's out everyone! NK FOOTBALL © V7 is finished and ready to download right now. It was meant to be released this Friday on the 16th June, but if it is ready now, why keep you guys waiting?

"NK FOOTBALL © V7 gives you the ultimate FIFA ™ Football 06 experience with the best gameplay and excitement like no other update available to this date! Tuned ball physics, CPU defending and the most beautiful build-up attacks and tactical play, V7 is the most challenging, realistic and enthralling gameplay update for FIFA ™ Football 06."

Grab your copy of V7 now over at NK Football ©

NK Football © will release V7 this week, but what is to come after V7? Well, there will be a V8 for sure, but there is no confirmation of a V9! Could V8 be the last? We'll wait and see what NK Football © has planned. More news to come soon!

Regarding V7, the update in both standard and CEP Compatible form is near completion. I believe V7 will be the true update for the FIFA ™ fans. The update that keeps you playing! The CPU has been tuned to play much smarter than before, and the defending is much better. Difficulty modes such as Semi-pro are much more playable but harder to beat the CPU as they will come at you with everything they've got if you favour the win early on in the game and go up 1-0. Expect a battle.

Want some news on the Arcade version? You got it! First of all, the goalkeepers are much easier to beat, you can score some amazing goals and so can the CPU. The higher the match score, the more fun! The CPU will try and score more than you and this is what Arcade is all about, who can make the craziest scores!! With realism play and faster ball physics, Arcade is end-to-end heart pumping action.

For now though, enjoy V6 and be sure to check back later on this week for the release of V7!

You have not receive news on this site about the CEP project, but the users who stay tuned on the CEP forums know how much the work to improve Fifa 2006 is going on with the staff of this patch project. In the last month great things happened for the future of the Career Expansion Patch: what started as the project of a single soccer fan (me) now is a reality substained by a team of many soccer fans with the same passion and dream: recreating the real world of soccer in the game that allows us to do it. If you checked in these weeks the Release Plan and the Status section of the site you noticed how much is in program for the next version, the 2.0 of the CEP: my work now is essentially to re-elaborate the datas that the CEP collaborators send me and to organize the work of many soccer fans from all over the world: is delighting to see how many users joined with their passion, without the need of any specifical editing capability, this team work. Especially I have to thank the particular work of organization done by Esterry88, who is organizing a wonderful team of updaters, contributors, graphicians and more: the work of these men is the root and the heart of the huge patch that you will encounter during this summer: it's so big the quantity of informations that we are elaborating that I don't think the game will be able to support it: what I know is that I'll try to elaborate every single data received, every single roster and tournament, and if this will not be possible, we'll try to do it for Fifa 2007 (hoping the EA sports will resolve some issues with the fifa.fat dimension and the number of custom files that we can add). Now, some news on details.

Our excellent main chief collaborator (the one that did possible the integration of many south american leagues), Jose Delgado, is realizing a delighting work for new minikits: having discoverd a great tecnique to realize extra-high quality minikits for the CEP teams, Jose is doing a huge pack of them for the next CEP version, so we hope to provide hundreds and hundreds of new minikits in game, eliminating with the time all the generic ones.

Of course this is the period that every soccer fan is waiting for years: this week starts the World Cup 2006 in Germany and all the national teams will show their updated kits and rosters. Next version of CEP will of course feature updated rosters from this edition of the world cup. I have tried the EA's game for the WC, and I found it interesting and fun, but too easy with a very strange gameplay physics unable to read some of the modifications that Fifa 2006 reads. The very strange (and frankly unuseful) format of the kits is a source of a bit of preoccupation: if EA decide to use this new standard for their kits we'll need a lot of time to adapt the CEP for next Fifa version

Fifaccitiu, one of the greatest expert of Fifa data, have discovered a great way to improve the gameplay of Fifa, that some of the CEP forums users already know: Fifaccitiu noticed how the size of the field is unrealistically oversized (practically is a field of 160 meters x 120 instead of a regulamentar 120/130 x 90/100): this is why is so hard to play on the flanks or to have a realistical dynamics of play from the CPU, having a slow game even setting a very high speed and with very little effectiveness from the AI. So he reduced the field to the original size, resizing the lines graphics too: I've tested, with some personal modifications to ai and cpudiff, these new settings and I have found the game incredible: absolutely entertenaing, with a great variety of game, with an excellent CPU style and with wonderful matches: I'm at my fifth year of career (Velez 7th, Chievo Verona 7th, Santos 2nd, Santos 3th, Tottenham actually 8th) and I'm enjoying so much the game that I decided to dedicate a bit of time to play instead of just editing. But remains a problem, and is the position of the players on the field on freekicks and corners. Rinaldo, the other great expert that now has a dedicated site on the family of Sweetpatch, discovered that is not possible to edit the position of the players on freekicks as in Fifa 2005 and so this remains a great limitation (on corners especially, some players are "trapped" behind the goal): this is why I've not released an official mod for this gameplay developed on an idea of Fifaccitiu. Anyway, if you want try it and stay tuned on these news, you should look at the CEP forums where you can find these news on the Internal Releases section.

You can check the list of the future additions for the CEP 2.0 as always in the Release Plan section of the home of the CEP and due to the quantity of additions I still can't provide a release date: this will be indeed a summer release, maybe at the end or in the second half of June, maybe later, because we'll have to include all relegations/promotions for 2006/07 season together with main transfer for a great number of tournaments. I want to dedicate more than just some words of thanks giving to the CEP collaborators and fans, the ones that are making this incredible project a reality: this is why during this week I will build a new section of the site devoted to the CEP collaborators, with their profiles, their hobbies and the story of their contributions to the CEP. Good football to everyone, let's enjoy the world cup and a new season of soccer.

Our very own FIFA Master, Rinaldo, has released his excellent Pitch Master 06.

With this you will have the full control of your pitch in FIFA 06, including:

• choose the mowing pattern (more then 40 different patterns available)

NK Football © can now confirm that the release date for V7 will be June the 16th! That's right everyone, V7 will be ready to download that evening.

I have news on the update's development and can tell you that a good friend of mine, Mike Johnson is giving me his input on the update and testing it with me through Direct IP and by coming over here to play the beta hours upon hours, vs each other and teaming up against what is now a very clever Computer controlled team of players! The actual update itself is playing better than ever before and an exclusive video showing just how much excitement there is in one match will be released over the weekend. I'm not sure how you guys play your FIFA ™ 06, but with V7 you'll be cheering all day when you crack home the winner!

NK Football © V7 will offer the user the choice of how they want their game to play. Over the years, starting with FIFA 2002, it was obvious that some gamers prefer a slower, realistic/simulation approach to football, whereas some prefer the fast-paced, action packed 5-5 draw! This is looked upon as a much more 'arcade' game of football, rather than a tactical simulation. Now, when you install V7 you won't just be installing either the Standard, CEP compatible or original EA gameplay, but a whole new update in itself offering a complete turn-around of fast-paced, challenging, high scoring football! Be sure to check back when a release date is confirmed.

Only available at Sweetpatch!

NK Football © hope to encourage more online play with gamers using V7. The new gameplay tuning and experience will make online games more intense and exciting than ever before!

V7 NEWS

NK Football © - V7 will be developed specially for FIFA ™ 06, however; An alternative gameplay design based on V7 will be created for 2006 FIFA World Cup ™ to make sure that gamers with EA SPORTS ™ latest title can enjoy the enhanced gameplay. This won’t be a ‘quick conversion bonus’ like V6 was from FIFA ™ 06 to the World Cup game, but designed over a period of weeks and tested. It will be a separate update.

Expect enhanced ball physics, CPU skill for players' and improved attack and defence playability. The balancing from each game difficulty will be fine tuned so gamers of all ages and skill will be able to enjoy V7! More news to come soon as the new design progresses.

A new version of NK Football © FIFA 06 Gameplay Update V6 has been uploaded today due to an issue encountered with the original installation program.

To compliment this, and after many requests, we have also made available all previous versions of the Gameplay Updates so you can now download versions 1 to 6 at the home of the NK Football ©.

The latest and greatest FIFA ™ 06 gameplay update returns and it’s better than ever! NK Football © gives you V6!

NK Football © V6 has been created for FIFA ™ fans. V6 will enhance your FIFA ™ 06 video game experience and increase the difficulty to set out a challenging game of football for you in the comfort of your own home without you having to go outside and kick a ball about!

V6 features:

• Gamespeed
  • Pace: FIFA ™ Football is full of action, excitement and now enhanced realism! NK Football © aims your game at the fans. Play your game fast or slow, FIFA ™ “Gameplay Update” 06 will handle your playing style.
• CPU
  • Defence: Get into gear and stay back! The defence for both user and CPU is tighter. Can you break them before they break you?
  • Attack: Creativity, skill, pace and anything else that makes it a better game! Attack like you’ve never attacked before or be attacked and feel the pressure!
• Ball Physics
  • Shooting: Aiming your shot at goal and scoring is much harder and greatly improved. No longer can you score easily, you must be skilled!
  • Crossing: Crossing the ball requires more skill, good timing and a good crosser! Get that ball to Beckham’s right foot.
  • Passing: Pass, pass, pass, pass, and pass!! The passing game is greatly improved and more exciting.
• Difficulty
  • World Class: Take on the best and feel the skill! Like never before will the best teams attack you and play closer to their real-life counterparts and NK Football © encourages better team play from the better teams!
• Total Balancing
  You say you cheated? Nope! If the CPU scored a great goal from outside the box, then so can you! Why? Because the goalkeepers are exactly the same! No longer do 5 star team keepers have the skill of a 5 year old! See your keeper make amazing saves and dives, JUST like the CPU! But don’t expect to be scoring left, right and center straight away on World Class or Legendary, even if the CPU can do it. Get into practice mode!
• Attribute fiddling free
  Unlike some updates that rely on altering the real player attributes to specific set values for each player on the field both home and away (clones), FIFA “Gameplay Update” 06 does not and relies solely on the difficulty and diversity of what is the best gameplay update for your FIFA 06 ™ video game. NK FOOTBALL © guarantees you the best FIFA football available.
• Diversity
  Didn’t see that happen before? Didn’t think you did! New physics and values set-out a much more diverse game of football with unpredictable results! Especially in the box and defensive scrambles.

For true FIFA fans!

The Fix A for CEP 0.12 has been released on the downloads section of the CEP homepage; the fix corrects the problems and glitches segnalated until now by the users on CEP forums: larger and deeper changes updates will be performed in next version, that will be the last one for Fifa 2006, the CEP 2.0 that I hope to release just before the beginning of the World Cup (to take a relax for this summer). I'll start preparing the material during this week so I'll be able to post a list of the future additions. I will upload a version 0.12a too of the CEP that will include of course the changes done with the fix A during today or tomorrow so future users will download a fixed version.

The new version of CEP Kits Addon, the version 2.0 has been released as an excellent complement to the CEP: many users notices some incompatibility of the previous version of Kits Addon with the CEP 0.12, this new version adds hundreds of new kits from all the world, update almost all the WC2006 national kits, and uses a new system of updating the old fifa zdata files that is very important for the future of CEP: using this new system we recovered a lot of space in the fifa.fat file size that was the only limit to the further development of CEP; this means that we can add much more leagues in the next CEP version. The list of the kits added is too huge to write all them here, anyway you can find the full list of the kits added here. As always you can find the Kits Addon 2 in the downloads section.

In the meanwhile the fix for the CEP 0.12 is almost ready and will be released within few days: when it will be completed you'll be able to download the fix or the full CEP0.12a version (i.e. a version that includes all the modifications done with the fix). Very soon I'll update with more detail the list for the next release: many new contributions are in preparation.

It's out everyone! Head over to NK FOOTBALL and grab your copy of V5 exclusive to Sweetpatch! The best gameplay update for FIFA 06 available and this latest version provides:

• Gamespeed
  • Pace: The pace of the game has been slowed down to make it more realistic.
  • Player speeds: Players’ aren’t as fast on the ball to make it longer to travel the pitch. They’re also not as good at trapping the ball in order to make controlling the player more difficult.
• CPU
• Defence: The defence of the CPU is much more alert and faster at closing down your players’. It is harder to break the defence.
• Attack: The CPU attack is much more creative. They will take more shots from further out and their shooting isn’t perfect. It feels more realistic and diverse, but you’ll have to play well and defend against them using tactics.
• Ball Physics
• Shooting: Shooting is harder to aim and more realistic. Scoring with a header is also more difficult. This is also true for the CPU making goals more exciting. Penalty kicks are also more difficult as the power bar increases faster.
• Crossing: Crossing the ball isn’t as easy as before.
• Passing: The passing has been slowed down and the ball plays better and more realistically.
• Difficulty
• World Class: The difficulty modes, especially world class have been worked on to a degree of balancing and challenging play. Goalkeepers are harder to beat, but can be beaten with good shots at goal. The result is much more rewarding.
• Total Balancing
  Now, the game is truly balanced with equal goalkeepers for both human and CPU controlled teams! Feel every shot you score rewarded for both you and the CPU as you battle out against the challenging and equal rivals of the goalkeepers! Do you have the skill to score goals as good as the CPU?
• Attribute fiddling free
  Unlike some updates that rely on altering the real player attributes to specific set values for each player on the field both home and away (clones), FIFA “GAMEPLAY UPDATE” 06 does not and relies solely on the difficulty and diversity of what is the best gameplay update for your FIFA 06 ™ video game. NK FOOTBALL © guarantees you the best FIFA football available.
• Diversity
  The game now has a different feel to it and NK FOOTBALL © believes this to be a breath of fresh air from the original balance.
• Virtual Football!
  Using different football sources, NK FOOTBALL © has done its best to create virtual football in FIFA 06 ™. Score amazing goals and feel the glory! Enjoy the match.
• No correction, no fix, no patch
  FIFA “GAMEPLAY UPDATE” 06 is not a patch or a fix to correct problems, it is nothing more than a change and it is NK FOOTBALL © who have found this change and balanced it to make it playable for you guys at home.
• New Intensity
  V5 has been designed along with the latest intensity file, edited by NK FOOTBALL © The update to this file encourages an even more attacking CPU with more pressure and more shots on goal. Feel the intensity of World Class teams and players’! Realistic score lines and situations!

Download this excellent Gameplay Update direct from the home of NK FOOTBALL and play FIFA 06 like you have never played it before.

We are proud to bring you today the Coca Cola Championship Roster Update by our great long time friend Mutiger.

In his words "I guess I picked a heck of a time to release this...what with CEP and the demo for the World Cup game out...but for anyone still playing FIFA06...and interested especially in the English game...here's the patch for you."

So what does this great roster update provide?

• It updates all rosters of the English Coca Cola Championship and the English Premier League as of 4/4/06.
• Also included are roster updates for all teams that are members of the "G14" group of clubs as well as updates for Celtic, Rangers and Hearts of the Scottish Premier League.
• Please note: 100 percent perfection is not guaranteed, but we believe it is quite close, especially in the English leagues. Some players who have played a very limited amount of games (generally 0-3) do not appear in the interest of time and space. Also, some players may appear on two rosters due to their status as frequently loaned players. Ricardo Fuller fans...sorry...he's moved around so much this season...he may not be where he's currently playing. lol...

Download Mutiger's excellent Roster Update direct from our Download Boutique.

The release of the new version of CEP has generated an unexpected traffic of downloads: only in the first 2 days we reached 5,000 downloads creating some problems to the file servers provided: this number of downloads deserves better file servers to distribute the work of so many fans and communities, I hope to be able to find proper solutions to this inconvenient.

Another thing that I have to constatate is the impossibility of resolve/fix all the mini-bugs and glitches present in each version of the CEP due to the size of the work: I found that something went wrong with the german minikits, for example, and with the Ghana selection, or with the number of substitions in Mexican Primera A: small things that have not been noticed even with a week of betatesting. My personal opinion is that is better to release a product instead of waiting until the perfection, this process would make impossible to release so many improvements for each version, while, of course, I'm worried about these little inconvenients we encountered this time. Anyway the fix for the Ghana (and then for the national rosters selection) has already been released, while in the afternoon I'll release the fix for Germany minikits: all these fixes will be disposable in the downloads section as single downloads for the ones who already downloaded the CEP and will be incorporated in another fixed version of the 012 I'll up today, so future users (if this is the rate of downloads I think will be at least another 20/25,000) will have a glitches-free version.

So, sorry for the inconvenients and I hope that here on Sweetpatch, with CEP we can keep improving your Fifa experience.

I'm really proud to announce that CEP, Career Expansion Patch, version 0.12 has just been released here on Sweetpatch: never as for this version of the CEP has been the fruit of an incredible collaboration of soccer fans from all over the world, of the best FIFA communities that joined their efforts in the purpose of delighting the FIFA scene with the definitive add-on for the EA game.

An intense phase of betatesting allowed you to have a very stable version with an incredible number of innovations that you will discover and appreciate playing a completely transformed Fifa.

These are the main additions added to the game:

• New Leagues
  
  • Campeonato Argentina
  • Primera Division Chile
  • Liga Bolivia
  • Copa Mustang Colombia
  • Italy Serie C1A and C1B
  • A Ethniki Greece
  • Primera Division Venezuela
  • Primera A Mexico
  • Division Profesional Paraguay
  • Superettan Sweden
  • Eircom Premier League (EIRE)
  • HNL Ozujsko Croatia
  • Seria A Ecuador
  • Prva Liga Serbia & Montenegro
  • Turkcell Süper Lig Turkey
  • Divizia A Romania
  • Russia Premier League
  • Primera Division Peru
  • A-League Australia
• New Competitions
  • Full Champions League
  • Full UEFA Cup
  • Copa Libertadores

  • Best of Uruguay

  • Euro 2008 qualifications and final stage
  • World Club Championship
• Plus
  • Completely new sponsorship system

  • Massive update to rosters, ratings and leagues

You can find the full details here and the Filefront file mirror for CEP 012 in the downloads section since this moment while during the next hours you will find more file servers (if you know good file server please list them on CEP forums or by mail).

As always the collaboration of all is welcome to upgrade, improve and correct actual release.

Please note on this release:

• The career settings related to starting prestige, wages, sponsors, contracts and tickets are very different and new and this doesn't allow the use of other gameplays until they are updated with the actual CEP settings;
• I've provided in the downloads section the original EA gameplay adapted for version 012;
• Next week I hope to be able to release a new version of the CEP kits addon containing many improvements and updates for kits (focused mainly on WC2006 ones, that you will find already updated in CEP 012 regarding the new added national teams);
• Next version of CEP (expected during the month of May) will be the final and last version of the CEP for Fifa 2006.

A personal thank you goes to all the collaborators and partners that make possible the realization of this massive and impressive version. Live football, know football: enjoy and join CEP: we need your football love to keep it on.

V5 of the update is going to be the best yet and will certainly keep you entertained with the goals you are able to score!

The highly respected Nick Clubman has released his latest version of his FIFA Gameplay Update 06, it is even CEP compatible!

This latest version provides:

• Gamespeed

NK FOOTBALL © guarantees you the best FIFA football available.
• Diversity
  The CPU will attack you in different ways. They won’t try the same old attack again and again, creating a very ‘flat’ football game. Instead they will use tactical through balls and take shots unexpectedly. Penalty kicks are so much more fun. If the keeper gets his glove to the ball, it doesn’t necessarily make it a save! The ball can hit the post and go in, he might save the shot, but it still goes in or he might dive the correct way and miss the ball altogether. It’s much more diverse now.

The patch has been created by one of their own excellent patch creators: EvEs0r and can be downloaded direct from our Patches Database.

The excellent Sweetpatch Posse Developer Rinaldo has been working on his latest project, his Animations Patch. Animations are the movements made by the players during the game.

Today we release his first public release of his Animations Patch. (He will continue to develop further versions). This patch adds new player’s movements to FIFA 06. After the installation you will see your players to make movements never seen before

Features:

• 90° Bicycle Kick: make a cross, stay with the body perpendicular to the goal line and type D. For some people the occurrences of the bicycle kick were too high, if you want to be sure to hit the ball with the head on a high cross type W instead of D.
• 180° Bicycle Kick: make a lob pass from the midfield, stay with your back toward the the goal line and type D.
• Chest pass: make a lob pass and type S before you receive the ball.
• Fake Shot: two new movements added to the original one. Press together Z + D.
• New dribbling added
  • Forward Flick: Shift + Ahead Arrow while the ball is in movement
  • Quick Sole Touch + Other Internal Foot: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) while the ball is in movement
  • Heel touch behind the other leg: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) while the ball is in movement
  • Ronaldinho’s Elastico: two ways, Shift + Ahead Arrow while the ball is in movement or Shift + Right Arrow while the ball is stopped
  • Double Touch and small Flick Ahead: Shift + Ahead Arrow while the ball is stopped
  • Zidane’s rollcastle: as usual you can make it pressing Shift + Left Arrow and Ahead Arrow quickly while the ball is moving, now you can make a rollcastle also when the ball is stopped pressing Shift + Left Arrow
• Heel Shot: type D shortly while you have your back toward the goal line.
• New inside foot shot: type D shortly while inside the box.
• Stretch shot: type D shortly while sprinting or type D shortly before you receive the ball from a low cross in the box.
• New keeper saves: nothing to do, just play and enjoy the new skills of your keeper. You will notice that now it is easier to beat the keeper in a one-one situation.

The described movements appear casually during the game in addition to the existing ones, so you could have to play several times before to see them. I suggest to try in training mode before.

Download this ground breaking patch direct from our Download Boutique and play and see FIFA 06 like you never have before.

The excellent Sweetpatch Posse Developer Rinaldo is working on a new project, his Animations Patch. Animations are the movements made by the players during the game.

Beta version 0.3 is now available with a lot of new dribblings and contains:

• 90° Bicycle Kick: make a cross, stay with your body perpendicular to the goal line and type D.
• 180° Bicycle Kick: make a lob pass from the midfield, stay with the shoulders toward the the goal line and type D.
• Chest pass: make a lob pass and type S before you receive the ball.
• Fake Shot: two new movements added to the original one. Press together Z + D
• New dribbling added
  • Forward Flick: Shift + Ahead Arrow while the ball is in movement
  • Quick Sole Touch + Other Internal Foot: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) while the ball is in movement
  • Heel touch behind the other leg: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) while the ball is in movement
  • Elastico: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) while the ball is stopped
  • Double Touch and small Flick Ahead: Shift + Ahead Arrow while the ball is stopped

The described movements appear casually during the game in addition to the existing ones, so you could have to play several times before you see them. Rinaldo suggests to try in training mode first.

You can download beta version 0.3 at file.webalice.it (usr: rzocca pwd: GPM06). Be aware that after a certain number of downloads the file is automatically deleted, if you don't find anything be patient and try later, Rinaldo will reload it periodically.

England’s four-decade wait for a FIFA world champion is finally over, albeit on the interactive stage. On Sunday (18 December), Chris Bullard from Ipswich (England) won the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2005, and with it, the title of FIFA Interactive World Player 2005.

In a thrilling final in “The Brewery”, London, the ten best players of EA Sports FIFA 06 on Xbox went head-to-head for the honour of receiving the award on stage alongside football stars such as Ronaldinho (Brazil), Shannon Boxx (USA), Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon) and Frank Lampard (England) during the FIFA World Player Gala on Monday. In the tense final, Chris Bullard’s ten-man England team defeated Hungary’s Gabor Makos’ Brazil side 5-2 thanks to a Michael Owen brace and a Wayne Rooney hat trick. Mexico’s Ruben Morales secured third place with a 7-6 victory over Spain’s Javier Devis Lara.

“The whole tournament was just brilliant. I have always wanted to win for my country. It’s just a dream come true, the best present I could ever have wished for. When my favourite player, Frank Lampard, was sent off in the 24th minute, I didn’t even think about winning anymore. But now I can represent England on stage alongside major stars, maybe even with my idol, Frank Lampard,” beamed Bullard after his victory in London.

This unique gaming jamboree pitted more than 7,000 players from 25 countries against each other between 15 October and 10 December 2005, making stops in eight regional tournaments across all six confederations. This year’s virtual world champion, Chris Bullard, had secured his ticket for the grand final only hours before in the Xbox Live tournament, which was held for the first time in addition to the eight offline regional tournaments.

Hundreds of spectators closely followed the action on a giant screen as the virtual and “real” football worlds came seamlessly together. Successful one-twos and shots on goal at the merest touch of a button highlighted the pure fascination of football. The finalists showed great skill in guiding their heroes – Ronaldinho and co. – over the virtual pitch in much the same way as the “true” superstars of the game. All of the finalists had trained for weeks on end to come this far.

The FIFA Interactive World Cup unites the passion for football and the world of interactive entertainment. With the help of this innovative project, FIFA can explore further opportunities to promote and develop the game of football in all its guises worldwide. This groundbreaking move also ensured that FIFA was the first international sports body to launch a new tradition and to test the skills of footballers in a whole new manner.

Yesterday saw the first ever Sweetpatch FIFA 06 Offline Tournament at a very noisy Wadebridge Town football club in Cornwall. The evening was a Christmas party for the Under 7's and 8's teams and as part of it we laid on our very first offline FIFA 06 tournament, (and what a cracker it was too!)

16 boys played in a knock out style tournament with everyone playing as England (apart from the final where both lads agreed to play as Brazil). It was 2 hours solid of great enthusiasm and noisy support from all the boys and their parents.

By the time we reached the final the 2 best players of the evening met (Elliott Dunnett and Harry Webster) with the winner (Harry) certainly deserving to take home the coveted Sweetpatch FIFA 06 World Cup with him, winning the final 4v2. Harry played very well in all his matches and has a lovely lob over the advancing keeper as his party piece for scoring most of his break away goals.

Well played boys and we certainly all had a very successful evening and the concept of Sweetpatch Offline Tournaments is certainly born and more than kicking.

Check out the page dedicated to this event, with plenty of photos from the night, by clicking here.

For the next few days we will be bringing you a new set of boots each day for FIFA 06, courtesy of Sweetpatch Development Posse member KakZ. Today we start with his new Adidas Predator Pulse TRX SG Blues.

Paris played host this weekend to the eighth and final leg of the FIFA Interactive World Cup and saw Spain's Javier Devis Lara reign victorious in a gripping final. Following his victory a jubilant Javier was ecstatic. "To come here and take on some of the best gamers, not only in Europe but from around the world was an amazing experience". He added: "Now, I'm off to London to represent my country and I'm also taking home an Xbox 360 and two tickets to the final of the FIFA World Cup! Unbelievable!"

The Carrousel du Louvre had a truly international flavour at the start of the day as gamers from all over Europe: Belgium, Spain, Norway and Sweden joined those from the UK, USA and of course, France. With such a diverse contingent it came as no surprise to see a wide variety of styles on show.

The first semi final saw Javier take on France's Franck Mandry. Both sides selected Brazil and it wasn't long before Ronaldinho put Javier on the scoresheet with a long-range Ronaldinho shot. Minutes later he made it two and it was only a save from Dida that prevented the Spaniard from turning round at 3-0 up. A cheeky Ronaldo shot inside the six-yard box pulled one back for Franck in the opening minutes of the second half but Javier's defence locked out the opposition's attack for the remainder of the half and secured him a place in the final.

The second semi final saw goals for both Belgium's Tom Van Rousselt and the USA's Matija Biljeskovic early in the game. A midfield battle ensued with both teams breaking through and threatening the opposition's defence on several occasions. Despite some exciting play both goalkeepers prevented either side from scoring and with extra time producing no further goals it was down to a penalty shoot out to decide the winner. Both players scored five out of five from the spot so it was a case of "sudden death". At the seventh attempt Lucio missed his spot-kick for Tom and it was Roberto Carlos who smashed the ball home to take Matija into the final.

Both the Spaniard and the American took to the field as Brazil and it was all about Ronaldinho in the first half as he powered two shots home for Javier to give him a comfortable 2-0 cushion. Despite some sharp attacks, Matija couldn't break through the opposition's defence thanks to some athletic saves from Dida. In the 85th minute Matija clawed back a goal thanks to a well worked move and a good finish from Ronaldo but it was a case of too little too late and at the final whistle Javier became the eighth winner of the 2005 regional tournament. He now joins the other winners from this year's regional tournament in next Sunday's Grand Final - in the meantime well done Javier!

Javier will have little time to bask in his glory - in under one week he will travel to London to take on nine other competitors, the cream of the world's best FIFA 06 players, in a bid to become the FIFA Interactive World Player 2005.

The tournament culminates in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final held in London this coming Sunday (December 18, 2005). The winner of the tournament will be named FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 and take centre stage to receive his/her trophy among some of the biggest names in football at this year's prestigious FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich on 19 December 2005.

Gabor Mokos came back from the brink of elimination at the semi-final stage to go on and win the final of the German regional tournament and secure his place in the Grand Final.

Gabor's road to victory started earlier in the day as he joined the queue with other gamers at the doors in Cologne's Palladium. Hundreds of players from all over Germany had joined those from further afield such as Switzerland, Finland, Hungary, Austria and the UK all eager to win not only the tournament and the right to represent their country in the Grand Final but also two tickets to the Final of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ and a much-sought after Xbox 360.

The first semi final saw Switzerland's Oezden Fedagar take on Alex Holzhammer from Germany in all-Brazil affair. Alex took control of the match in its early stages with a great header from Adriano and the Brazilian made it two just before half time with a stunning volley. The second half saw a more-evenly matched contest for the first quarter before Adriano scored again for Alex. It looked like his team would keep a clean sheet until Adriano scored in for the opposition in the 84th to make it 3-1. Any chance of a comeback was immediately snuffed out though as Robinho nodded in a header for the German and gave Alex a place in the final.

The second semi final saw one of the comebacks of the tournament to date as Gabor's team fought back from what seemed to be an impossible 4-1 deficit. In the second half Rui Costa narrowed the gap with a hard drive from outside the box before Shevchenko equalized with a well-worked header. Extra time bought a new lease of life to AC Milan as Inzaghi took two to make it 6-4.

The final was an altogether more subdued affair and sadly saw little of the drama that had characterized its preceding matches. Gabor's men gave him a one goal lead in the fourth minute but Alex's Brazil team were unlucky not to equalize after Ronaldo hit the woodwork. Gabor showed no sign of nerves as he tried to chip the 'keeper on one occasion and absorbed wave after wave of Brazilian attacks to hold his lead. At the final whistle the Hungarian was clearly relieved to have survived with such a slender lead for much of the match and paid credit to his opponent: "Alex was a strong opponent and he played superbly". Gabor was congratulated by Reiner and sent on his journey to the Grand Final by an enthusiastic crowd who will no doubt continue to cheer for him in when he takes on the competition in London on December 18th.

The FIFA Interactive World Cup moves to France next week, visiting Paris to pick up its final representative.

The tournament will then culminate in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final which will be held in London on December 18, 2005. The winner of the tournament will be named FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 and take centre stage to receive his/her trophy among some of the biggest names in football at this year's prestigious FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich on 19 December 2005.

Australia's recent victory over Uruguay and their return to the world footballing stage in next summer's FIFA World Cup™ has led to a surge of interest in the beautiful game down under. This passion was reflected in the arrival of hundreds of gamers and football fans from all over Australia at Sydney's Overseas Passenger Terminal to compete in the FIFA Interactive World Cup.

Against the stunning backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge visitors poured through the doors eager to start their bid to win the tournament and compete in London's Grand Final.

The two semi-finals were both close affairs with all four players turning out as Italian teams and exhibiting plenty of European flair. After two great matches the stage was set for a final between Tahir Latif and Giovanni Fichera.

It took only ten minutes for Tahir's AC Milan side to get on the scoresheet with a scrappy goal from Shevchenko and only minutes later Inzaghi made it two after sloppy defensive play from Giovanni's Juventus defence. Juventus tried hard to get back into the game with some classy moments and strong pressure and were unlucky to turnaround without a goal.

They continued to attack in the second half but clinical finishing from an AC Milan corner by Shevchenko provided the nail in the coffin and gave Tahir not only a well-deserved victory but a place in the Grand Final.

The FIFA Interactive World Cup returns to Europe next week, visiting Cologne to pick up its second European representative.

The tournament will culminate in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final which will be held in London on December 18, 2005. The winner of the tournament will be named FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 and take centre stage to receive his/her trophy among some of the biggest names in football at this year's prestigious FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich on 19 December 2005.

Los Angeles played host to a gripping FIFA Interactive World Cup tournament which saw the winner of the Mexican qualifying tournament storm to victory ahead of his US rivals. Ruben Morales travelled all the way from Mexico City to take on the best gamers from all over the USA at the Globe Theatre at Universal Studios and returned home with the title of Champion!

The already exceptional standard of game play went even higher as the day moved into the closing stages. As the tournament moved into the final 16 there was little to choose between the competitors and big scores were few and far between.

The first semi final saw Filip Stoynev take on Ali Elabari in a great match that had the crowd on their feet. Adriano put Filip's Brazil side ahead in the 30th minute with a powerful shot but AC Milan counterattacked immediately from the restart and were rewarded quickly by a goal from Shevchenko. Eventually, Brazilian firepower won through with goals from Adriano and Ronaldo putting Filip into the final despite a late surge from a well-organised Milan side.

The second semi final saw an all-Brazil affair as Ruben Morales took on Isidro Sifuentes. These guys gave their public a masterclass in attacking play with goals coming thick and fast from both sides from the off. However, it was the Mexican's day as a Ronaldo goal put his side ahead and took him into the final.

Both players chose the pace and flair of Brazil for the final match and Adriano again proved why he's one of the best finishers in the game by providing an early goal for Ruben. Shortly afterwards Carlos got in on the act to make the score 2-0 and leave Filip with a mountain to climb to remain in the game. However, despite his best efforts, Ruben eased to victory and secured his place in the Grand Final.

The FIFA Interactive World Cup team move on down under as they travel to Sydney for next week's tournament to find Australia's entrant to the Final - see you there!

The tournament will culminate in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final which will be held in London on December 18, 2005. The winner of the tournament will be named FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 and take centre stage to receive his/her trophy among some of the biggest names in football at this year's prestigious FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich on 19 December 2005.

David Letsoalo won the Johannesburg tournament of the FIFA Interactive World Cup in a thrilling penalty shoot out at the end of a fantastic day at the Action Sports Academy in Johannesburg. The 16-year-old was left speechless at the final whistle as he realised the extent of his achievement.

He began the day having never played EA SPORTS™ FIFA 06 on Xbox® and returned home with an Xbox 360 and two tickets to the final of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ in Germany!

Commenting on his victory, David said: "This is amazing! I've had a great day and played against some great opponents and now I'm off to London to the Grand Final!"

His Manchester United team took on the Juventus team of Itumeleng Modise in a game that despite its pace and action produced no goals over the first 90 minutes. Both goalkeepers produced some athletic saves to keep both teams in the game and even a devastating run from Rooney that left three defenders trailing wasn't enough to put David in the lead.

In extra time it was Manchester United who made all the runs but couldn't convert. As extra-time finished, the crowd's excitement reached a crescendo as penalties loomed. After five attempts each it was Manchester United who left the field as victors.

With four tournaments gone the FIFA Interactive World Cup travels next to Universal Globe Theatre, Los Angeles, USA on Saturday 19th November.

The tournament will culminate in the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final which will be held in London on December 18, 2005. The winner of the tournament will be named FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 and take centre stage to receive his/her trophy among some of the biggest names in football at this year's prestigious FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich on 19 December 2005.
