How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

Currently sit 4th in La Liga with Valencia in January with 4 points on 5th place Sevilla.

Barca kept bidding on Feghouli and he has requested a transfer.

He is without question my best and most important player. Was hoping to get Valencia back on top and stop this loss year after year of talent. This just 2 days after bringing Nani in. Aye.

Excellent, excellent month!!

Match 1:
Sunderland's First Win on the year, all thanks to a revolutionary new style of attacking play. Arsenal was constantly befuddled, being forced to come from behind after Emmanuele Giaccherini scored a beauty in the 23rd minute.

Match 2:
Jozy Altidore scores his first Sunderland goal in the 5th minute on a beautiful feed from CAM Adam Johnson, and Craig Gardner adds one in the 40th from just outside the penalty area.

Match 3: Capital One Cup
This one Sunderland took in penalty shootout 4-3, as Emmmanuele Giaccherini scored the winner. Keeper Keirin Westwood made a key save on Swansea's fifth shot.

Current Match Average Leader: Mobido Diakité—7.6

Well, screw it. I played most of the season last night. That's how you know FIFA is a good game.


Premier League Update:

1. Man City (58)
2. Spurs (51)
3. Man United (49)
4. L'pool (48)
5. Arsenal (47)
6. Everton (47)
7. Sunderland (45) 14-2-11

City has been superb, while Spurs held the early lead. Sunderland has a chance for a Euro League spot, but they're heading downhill after a 5-game win streak.


Cup Update:

Champions Cup:
After the first game win vs Swansea in penalties, Sunderland proceeded to fall in penalties to Reading. It's Chelsea vs Man City in the final.

F.A. Challengers Cup:
Sunderland in round of 16 bound, where they will face Yeovil Town.


Transfer Update:

Sold:
Lee Cattermole (CDM—76) to L'pool for $4,500,000
Cattermole had played 2 games, was requesting a transfer, and I felt no reason not to comply for $4,500,000.
Phil Bardsley (RB—72) to Wigan Athletic for $2,500,000
Ondrej Celustka really took over the position, and Bardsley had done nothing in limited appearances.
Carlos Cueillar (CB—73)
Did not play, opted out of contract.

Bought:
Marco Cerriera (CB—70)
Good depth, he's subbed in a few times and he's been good.

Sebastian Larsson got about 30 transfer requests, but I kept him.


International Update:

I accepted the position of South Africa head coach. In two international friendlies, RSA beat Ecuador 2-0 and India 1-0.


Stats Update:

Jozy Altidore leads the EPL with 15 goals. He's netted one hat-trick and twice scored two goals. Wayne Rooney is second, with 13.

Stephane Sessegnon leads the EPL with 11 assists, while he also has 4 goals.

Adam Johnson has 9 goals and 9 assists.

Sebastian Larsson has 2 goals and 7 assists.

Craig Gardner has 3 goals and 1 assist.

Modibo Diakité and John O'Shea both have 1 goal.

Keirin Westwood is second in the EPL with 12 clean sheets. Joe Hart leads with 13.


Best Game:

Easy choice, a 2-1 killing of Man United takes the cake. Altidore scored in the 12th minutes, Kagawa equalized in the 13th, and Segesson netted the winner in the 56th.



I'll get back to my monthly reports when I'm on a normal schedule.

The board fortunately gave me the final word if I should sell. Arsenal and Madrid were in a bidding war for him but he got injured a day before the deadline so he's staying either way.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

hey guys I know this isn't want this forum is for but..... can anyone please tell me what the impact of "press conference" is on FIFA .... I don't understand what this is or isn't doing for my club or for game play

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

Quick question... Is there anyway to let the CPU manage your team so that all I'm doing is playing the games? I'm a soccer fan, but I don't know all the little things about it enough to play manager mode. I've only played the My Player version so I wouldn't have to do the manager stuff.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

Anyone have an answer to this?

I am slowly learning as well... I have yet to find any sort of 'auto sub' feature or anything like that. Sometimes before a match I can delegate certain things to Asst. Coaches - but only when prompted.

Before each game, go to Team Management and to the square. Hit square (X on xbox). This will ask the assistant coach to fill the entire lineup. Then go to sim game and sim it.

Thx for the tip. What if we just wanted to play? Do you need to sim?

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

Playing as Sunderland, 5 games in and still 0 wins. 2 losses and 3 ties so far. First time really playing a FIFA game so I am loving it, I jumped right in with WC sliders I found to make a real challenge. Every game has been close, last game, against Arsenal I was leading 2-0 up until the 75 minute mark and then they scored 2 to tie it in the final seconds.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

All was going well in my first season at Sheffield Wednesday, 13 games left sitting pretty in 9th place, then it hit. An awful run of form which I just could not shake, we finished up by going 2-3-8, to finish the season in a disappointing 16th place with a record of 15-13-18. With a strict board that's just not good enough and I got the sack. Not too happy

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

I've never done a La Liga MM, so I'm going to try and bring up Tenerife.

Before I start I want to know if Barca B & Real Madrid Castilla can be promoted. If so (which I assume is the case) I'll replace with Racing de Santander & Albacete. It'd drive me up the wall if either of them were to get promoted.

I don't think they can get promoted, they couldn't in FIFA 13, but I'm not 100% sure.

They can....and I didn't realize that Creation Centre didn't make it to next gen, so my plan of moving the other squads in didn't work either.

Guess I'll just have to save a lot to make sure that either team doesn't make it.
