How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Going to wait and see if there's a fix for this in the next week or so, otherwise I'm just going to wait until FIFA 17 comes out. I feel like EA does this at the end of each season. Screw the gameplay up so bad that people have to buy the next year's version to keep having fun.

I haven't felt anything like that whatsoever. The gameplay is the same as always for me and I'm really enjoying my time on FIFA 16. I have even been thinking of not buying FIFA 17 if there aren't any interesting new features.

Man, I used the links from SOFIFA but they get all screwy it looks like. Im at work otherwise I would have just saved them to my laptop and reupload them like I do my league table. My bad on that one! I was bored at work and wanted to post something haha.


Oh also, I actually tried installing EZVid (Got a new laptop that runs FIFA much better) to start adding highlights like I used to do but EZVid just crashes when I try to record a clip.


Anyone have good recommendations for free recording software?

Interesting that someone else is experiencing the same thing but not everyone. Maybe EA sports decided they hated just us Indi

I used to run a 4-4-2 with Portsmouth where I would prefer to have one striker be a big target man and set him to stay central and then have the other be a quicker more winger type player like the guy you put above and have him drift wide and then use him to beat people around the edges or play it in to the target man and have him play it off to the other guy running in behind the defense.

You're on the new patch that was released a few days ago, right? If so maybe I should wipe my data clean and re-install the game.

Do you guys not use sliders? I feel like my game is just a lot more enjoyable with them.

Oh, and Rabbit: I don't like the guys WF, that is about it.

I should be on the new patch but I'm not completely sure.

I'm using default sliders.

you guys we're updating at an insane rate, it's hard to keep up

Simp - that was absolutely a BS red card on Gurpegi vs Atletico. Glad it didn't have any negative effects on your season as you were able to pull off the double! I knew you'd come back with a vengeance this season so congratulations! That wasn't an easy road in the CL and La Liga is always tough and you won it by double digit points. You must still have a chip on your shoulder about the CDR so I definitely see you coming back for a treble. That's an amazing budget going into next season

Tex - at first glance I wasn't impressed with the Dickenson signing but after reading your thoughts on it I agree it's a good addition. Davis is just a great fit for what you're trying to run, very good find. I already touched on Odubajo but you're really going to love his pace and he's also pretty decent at crossing. Train him on defense and he's gonna turn out nice. Abraham is a raw and I like the buy option on the loan but you're gonna have to develop him. Other than that you know I was glad to see Cameron and Townsend score in early November but watching that December hurt. You still have time to turn it around but unless you get on a hot streak you may need to battle in the playoffs for promotion. I'll respond to the tactics convo on a separate post.

Spoiler

oh, and your wife is puuurtie

10 - what's it like watching Exeter make moves? That must be something. That's a significant downgrade in talent at Newcastle but I'm definitely looking forward to watching you make work of it. It was nice to see you beat up on Thistle (expected) and West Ham (not so expected although obviously I'm not familiar with how good they are at this point in your CM). Really nice start to the season and I definitely look forward to the next update to get the goods on your game vs Arsenal (and Tottenham!) and how you do in the EL.

SMH - ah ... dude ... where's my Malaga CM at? On the other hand I dig your passion for the Russian league. Thanks for schooling me on who Zyryanov is, looks like a good choice for a coach. In my next Kayseripor update you'll realize we both have acquired the same player on loan. The rosters you're dealt in Russia are always challenging so I could see how Gol's injury is gonna be a big one. Bad August, better September, betterer (lol) October. I know you're not where you want to be yet (standings or form wise) but you're improving every month and that's a good sign.

Spoiler

Seriously though, where are my Malaga updates at? Did I miss something?

Cruzzer - I think you have a sneaky-tough group. The Polish club won't be a problem but Zenit and Villareal are gonna be a pest. You have the squad to advance out of that group though. I think the groups for the most part are pretty evenly matched though I feel bad for anyone in Group D not name Real or Juve (YIKES!). Great job getting into the CL and I absolutely LOVE what Barkley is doing for you right now, distributing like a boss! Solanke is amazing, I wish I could had gotten him at Newport but he was far above my budget. Keep it up.

Josh - I don't have time for more updates.

Spoiler

I keed of course. Welcome. This is an awesome place to share how passionate and dedicated you like to be about your CM's. I look forward to the Tottenham updates. We all have unique styles to our updates but no matter what you do MAKE SURE TO POST THE STANDINGS, otherwise I will chew you out lol.

Aqua - I owe you a response on the video, I'm just rushing through the reads right now.

Ducks - I enjoy following someone who runs a style so different from mine, 3-5-2 should be fun to follow. I like where you plugged Loftus-Cheek into the formation, he could have a really good season for you.

Indi - that Nott'm intro, as always



My only question is: does that mean no more Sunderland?

Keano - I feel bad for Luton Town, you guys were yoked coming off that upset of Liverpool in the previous game and absolutely destroyed the Hatters my god. Bennett should be serviceable for you and I dig the Ricardo Santos acquisition, he's raw but that strength and jumping jump out at me and he's got room for development. The kind of thing that makes us League Two teams excited lol.

JH2 - Timely win over Chelsea. Useful my man, USEFUL.

My lord if I didn't cover everyone I'm sorry.

Sorry, you're on your own again. Just pummeled Reading 4-0 and I figured out the problem. My controller setting somehow got changed to two-button!
