How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

[JI123]

Made an account to express my frustrations!

I love career mode and it's pretty much the only mode I play but I am annoyed that my board is selling my star players.

I started out as Toronto FC with the target of using my youth academy to make them the dominant team in the MLS and I've done that, despite my board selling a 78 OVR 20 year old LW for 15M to Liverpool, the thing that makes me angry is he is now 21 and 84 OVR, and "has the potential to be special" (90+ OVR potential ARGH).

They also sold my 21 year old 82 OVR RW for 34M to Bayern and I'm sure he'll develop into a superstar.

I have two more players with "the potential to be special" but I really don't want to lose them too

I'd rather not cheat and save and reload when it happens, and while I get it's semi-realistic, I wish there was an option to turn it off.

Overall, I'm having a ton of fun in this game, bringing Toronto from 2 1/2 stars to 4 1/2, but I haven't been able to keep my stars.

With that said, I'm starting a new CM with QPR. if anyone has experience with their squad, do you wait for the loaned out players (Remy, Granero, Taarabt, ETC...) to return to the squad prior to buying new players? Or do you proceed as usual and deal with them when they return?

The team they have is good enough to get promoted as is. If it was me I'd make small changes but nothing major and use my money on scouts and such. Then re-eval when the loaned players return.

You could also just bring the players back early and make moves accordingly

I know exactly what you mean. I've had that problem several times (with my 1000 career modes I've played and stopped)

Just last week I was playing with Udinese and they sold Muriel to Liverpool for 5mil......5MIL!!!!

I could've sold him for 6 times that amount. It really does frustrate me to no end.

But to summarize, I feel your pain fifa bretheren

If a player wants out, offer him a healthy wage increase and 20% goal bonus. Usually works and the player stays. If that fails and the board hasn't sent you an email saying it's up to you, then SELL him IMMEDIATELY!!

Yeah, I know that, but really I kept a false sense of hope that they wouldn't do that to me AGAIN.

I believe I tried to give him a new contract but he requested a transfer out of the blue and I couldn't resign him after that.

Oh well, let's just hope I can try and keep all my other players!

Off of the top of my head, this is my starting team:

----------------------------------Areola (83)-----------------------
Larientowicz (YA product-78)---Dier (84)---Cooper (YA product-78)---Jazic (YA Product-73)

Castillo (YA product-78)---Pinto (YA product-80)---Brillante (YA product-77)---Ashe(YA product-73)

Clough (79)---Ream(78)/Rossetini(YA product-73)

Would look so much better with Reyes (now 83 OVR 21 years old RW) and Tissot (now 84 OVR 21 years old LW)

Oh well

September 2017 with Palace.

My team is
GK: Ruddy
reserve: two guys from the youth base

CBs: Caulker, Mariappa(C), Lovren
reserve: Ben Nugent, Grand Hanley and some guys from the youth

Fullbacks: in the current formation they are reserves.
Wisdom, Martins Indi and Shaw

CDM: Nzonzi
reserve:Schneiderlin, Nir Biton

CMs: Campaña and Gary Gardner(CAM)
reserve: Adam

Wingers: Lallana and Redmond
reserve: 17 years old with 73 ovrl

Strikers: Sanogo and Benteke
reserve: Gayle and Walter. Chamakh scored like 60 goals in 4 season before retiring.

Finished 7th in the 1st and the 2nd year, won the league in the 3rd and 4th. Won the Europa League in the 2nd and 3rd year, and the champions in 4th.

My style of play is like Stoke IRL.

And Man City seems to buy everyone.
They have Neymar, Bale, Ozil, Hummels, Sirigu, Wilshere and Cazorla, in addition to big part of their current team and finished behnid Norwich last year

The relegation-promotion system is way better than in FIFA 13, where it seemed that the three promoted sides would always be relegated.

honestly, football is really a business to the boards and owners. Small clubs around the world are a supply to big clubs, and thats how most of the small clubs stay a float and stay at the top of their respective leagues. The board sees 21 years old they paid pennies for and now they can sell him for 15 million? if you were the owner you would do the same thing lol...

i would try, mayne not scouting so many players, they might value your prospects a lil more & the scouting on the game is a lil easy... heard a few differnt players recommend not calling up anymore then 2 players a year.

Yeah definitely understand what you mean.

I like the idea of limiting the amount of players I scout.

Also, the player they sold for 15M is now worth 85M.

Just sayin'
