Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

Went with my Columbus Crew,figured might as will play as my favorite team,8 minutes halves.

First game I ended up losing a close 2-0 game against Chivas USA,I just couldn't get any calls going my way and I think I took 6 shots the whole match,their goalie also played really,really good.

My next game is against the Colorado Rapids might switch the camera views any good ideas?My goal is to TRY to finish in the top half of the season.How long does it take you guys to complete a season?How many games do ya play a night?

Here is my lineup:

GK:W.Hesmer
RB:F.Hejouk
RCB:C.Marshall
LCB:M.Gonzalez
LB:S.Miglioranzi
RCM: D.O'Rourke
CM:N.GRABAVOY
LCM: Danny
RW:G.Barros Schelottd
ST:A.Moreno
LW:E.Gave

I am a soccer noob so take it easy on me I need all suggestions and hints if any are offered!!

Love reading your guy's impressions and progress!

The first thing I always do in my MM is upgrade my Trainer/Fitness (whatever they call it). I upgrade up to a 7 right off the bat. I feel like without the upgrade, my guys cant last even two matches without getting totally exhausted.

After you win a few matches and get some more cash, upgrade your negotiator, especially since you are starting with an MLS club. I have my negotiator at an 8 right now and was able to sign some talented young players.

In all my sports games franchise/career modes, I like to go with young, talented players with potential to become stars. Examine their attributes, age and what you are looking for in your team. For example, I bought a young player for about 2 million but with an overall rating of about 67. Not good huh? Well he's only about 20 years old so and his attributes are excellent, so he'll get better and hopefully become great.

I dont focus on upgrading the skill training on my players because I know I can win some games without it. If I have extra cash, then I'll upgrade. I think I have my level at 5 for my forwards, mids, defense and GK. Time to upgrade my forwards though because they are not finishing excellent chances.

Good luck man

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

Sadly my run for the Cup has ended in a very intense, heartbreaking and exciting match. I had many chances but just couldnt get it past their keeper (who ended up being the top keeper in my Manager Mode BTW). This one is for you Bruins (unfortunately). I'll be back!

Of course man. In my 2nd season, I'll record my US Open Cup games and all my playoff games if I make it. I want that MLS Cup before I take any other offers and leave my team.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

Which squad download are y'all playing with? The default? I ask because I noticed in the videos you have what looks like Landon Donovan and David Beckham with the Galaxy. The latest squad download has Donovan with Everton (loan) and Beckham with Madrid (also loan).

I downloaded the latest squad but then made some changes. I added Donovan and Beckham to my team (as they should rightfully be) but then I sold Beckham early in my season before I made the videos. So no, Beckham is not in the videos.

And I think you mean Beckham with AC Milan.

Good to hear!

I am now 4-6-0

I told you I had to play the Wizards well I beat them in a easy 3-1 victory.

Next I had the Dynamo it was 0-0 into the 90th minute when they scored 2 goals to win 2-0

Then I played the Red Bulls they were up 3-1 at half-time!I ended up losing 3-2 but I played lockdown defense the second half,I plan to get some more games in tonight.

I am having a great time with the season!

Yeah. It's alot of fun and challenging going through any season in the Manager Mode. The good thing about MLS (or bad, depending on who you ask) is that the playoff system they have allows teams that don't have the greatest record to try to win the Cup. Looks like you might sneak your way into the playoffs.

I hope so.

I will try to play this even with NCAA arriving soon
