How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

[10cabee]

I've decided a poll would be the best way to choose our club as people aren't too fussed. Anyone can vote for the choice of club. Here are a couple of teams I thought we would all be able to use whilst still being broad enough for everyone to choose a league and strength of the team. Check out the teams in slightly more detail in the spoiler:

As I said, even if you're not joining in with the community career mode, you can still vote.

I've been playing around with different ideas and one gave me a particular eureka moment. This idea includes all of you lot to make it greater! Everyone who would like to join in agrees upon a single team (or if we all can't agree on one team, although I doubt that'll be a problem, we could agree on a single league.) where we all start at. Then the next step is for each of us to pick our own manager (they don't necessarily have to be good either) that you want to imitate or emulate and enforce their philosophies, tactics and transfer strategies onto the team and think like the manager you picked and post the updates as you go along. The key is that we all choose managers with wildly differing styles and to try a style of football we've never tried before although if someone only feels comfortable playing a style they know and love then they can commit to that. I for one would find it intriguing to see where we all end up with all of our varying philosophies and styles. If you want to impose rules or add a plot/story into your individual updates on the 'community series' then do! We can all do a post on our manager and their tactics and how they're going to shape the team chosen so all the others can follow along and then it's kick-off time! Anyone can join in at any time and move clubs after a season or two if they wish. You can post as regularly or as irregularly as you want, or even change managers if you're finding the original style stale. Managers don't necissarily need to be managers! You have a particular youtuber you want to imitate? Then do it! If you want to be YOU and feel the style of play you have in mind is unlike any other manager then be you! Examples for managers and 'managers' you could choose from that might be interesting: Gary O'Neil Sam Allardyce Louis van Gaal Tony Pulis Marcello Gallardo Paolo Di Canio Marcelo Bielsa Kevin Keegan Ian Halloway Henrik Larsson Tim Sherwood John Carver Frank Riikaard Alan Shearer Joey Barton (super aggressive team of course xD) A Youtuber? Yourself Just examples. Some are weirder than others that's for sure. Joey Barton for example would get his team to play an agressive, physical style of play in my mind but they are ultimately decided on how you guys think he'd get his team to play if you chose him as the manager you'd imitate. Thanks for reading and if any of you want to do this then shout out the club you want to put forth that we all play and the manager you want to be!

Now that's interesting! I was just reading about how Paul Robinson made MK Dons a real attacking threat and was having a look at his tactics when he got 101 goals for MK in League One. I wonder what style of play Gerrard would choose and how well he'd do...

Real Sporting de Gijon will be our CCM!

It starts now! Can't wait to see what managers and tactics people have chosen! I'll post my manager and tactics in the next couple of days hopefully!



P.S. I apologise for the voting, it was hastily done :P

[texasbum06]

alright, with the weekend coming up I am planning getting December finished and posted and hopefully January too since it has only a few games to play. January will be my first transfer window too since I turned the first one off at the start.


On a side note, I suck at FIFA right now. Part of that is I am using an old controller that has the A button stick and the other part is my apparent lack of skill all of the sudden.
