Happy to send you my sliders bud...mines for PS3 though, so don't know how it differs.
With regard to the teams, personally part of the reason I love these games is that I get to play with my favourite players. Each to their own of course but on current games I can't light someone up with John Scott. I can't fight with Boogie or take over a game with Big Buff or Bertuzzi. I just love the old rosters man
