Has anyone ever had their team promoted after just one season? If not how long does it take before your team can be promoted?

I got my Exeter team bumped up from Coca Cola League 2 to Coca Cola League 1 in 1 season. I finished second on the table and didn't win any cups.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

I had to start simulating a lot of games in MM(AS Roma) because of the form. I have no idea why my players all have an arrow pointing to 5 o'clock.

When I simulate games the form of the players goes up more consistently. I'll then decide to play a game and immediately form is down again. It's stupid. I feel like the players are all happy then I walk into the clubhouse and everyone is pouting.

Playing games in MM is difficult. I can win regularly on WC level in Kick Off mode but in MM I find it difficult to get 3 points from cellar dwellers like Bari. I wonder if it has to do with form.

I also find the scripting to be appalling in MM games. The losing team ALWAYS seems to get some advantages in the 2nd half. CPU or USER.

I have scored more goals and given up more goals beyond the 80th minute than I can count.

Down 1-0 to Milan....Baptista runs the entire left wing into the box and slips one past the keeper. Stoppage time.

Leading Milan 1-0....Borriello does the same thing in the 89th.

Trailing Juve 2-0. I score a goal in the 63rd and the 89th...only to give up the scripted 3 pass goal to Del Piero in the 90th.

As Arsenal I tied Man U deeeeep into stoppage time. Kick off...30 yard ground pass to Anderson quick flick to Rooney...GOAL!!!!!! Complete BS.

Can you beat it? Of course but the bs programming is there and it's overdone.

It's true, especially on higher difficulties. And since all players are in the 40's and 50's, its hard to pick out weaknesses.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

Yeah I'm playing in the CC Championship league and the games are almost always intense. I love it that way, it gets the user more into the games. In many sports games you just pickup the controller and play; but in Fifa you are really forced to have a strategy.

Its like watching the sport on TV when you play, it has you on the edge of your seat.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

Utterly annoyed right now, got fired from Manchester United, after beating the Leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

It's not like I was doing terrible either, I was in 4th but with 3 games in hand. I was in 2nd before I was given the 3 games break.

Utter Bollocks.

Whoops I was going for 3rd, then remember it was 4th.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

I just can't seem to get a win in MM. I started a new one with Roma and even dropped to PRO to see if it would help. No luck.

In my last two games against Cagliari and Atalanta look at these stats:

Shots

Roma 17 Cagliari 3
Roma 20 Atalanta 4

Possession

Roma 57 Cagliari 43
Roma 55 Atalanta 45

Goals

Roma 2 Cagliari 2
Atalanta 2 Roma 0

It's getting very frustrating because in the Kick Off games I can win regularly on WC and even Legendary level. When stats like that result in losses to two inferior teams it makes me think there is some shady programming going on in these MM matches.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

1st year with AS Roma.

My goals were to make the Coppa Final and qualify for the UEFA CL.

The board was really happy with me in the beginning months as I was near the top of the table and in the 3rd round of the Coppa. Well, the board wasn't too happy when I lost in the 3rd round to Genoa on PKs. I was up 3-0 in the 1st leg and rested my regulars and ending up bowing out. Board approval took a huge hit but I made a move in the Jan window to get Quaresma from Inter. He wanted regular action and his 1st match was vs Inter at the San Siro. I went up 1-0 but conceded a goal to Eto but in the 87th Quaresma got his sweet revenge on an assist to Vucinic. I followed up the win with another 3pts over rival Lazio. Totti scored on a deflection in the 88th.

Currently I'm sitting on top of the Serie A with 47pts and 2 games in hand over Inter (44pts)

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

In the game I fell behind 2-0 to Lincoln City in the 1st half but manage to level the game with 4 minutes left

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

I am managing Nottingham Forest. Have completed two seasons and still find myself down in the Championship Division. However I have steadly invested in my staff and through the scout have built up a nice roster. My starting side has now improved to where everyone at least has a 70 overall rating. My best player is a 78 rated goal keeper.

I finished 10th the first season and I came in 7th the second season. I was actually in 6th place and could have made the playoffs last year but choked on the last game of the season.

This third season I am 2-2-0 and in 5th place if memory serves. Also have 8 million pounds in the bank and am saving for a spending spree should I make it to the Premier League.

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

tough weekend for my MM... well, i was in second year of Arsenal. i did not qualify for the "champions league" after year one, but did qualify for the "uefa". last year, i kept my job basically by winning the FA Cup. this year, i had just made it to feb, in the quarter finals of the "Uefa", was 3rd in the league, but only 2 points behind chelsea, and i was in the quarter finals of the FA Cup... all the silver ware to play for!

so, my board expectations were: qualify for "champions league", get to semi's of FA Cup, and WIN the "uefa" cup...

quarter finals in the "uefa" versus porto and i lose bc of an away goal!! and i missed a PK to really rub salt in the wound. anyway, very disappointed, but i still had the FA cup and was still in title contention for the EPL championship! after the game i lost 16 prestige points! it was a huge red bar down. next game i beat sunderland, then i get canned.

gutted... was a one star MM, so "retired"

now i am in italy trying to take ROMA to glory... i have already been active in the transfer market... selling and buiying! Nasri is my new left winger. and i am putting totti on the block to get a war chest to go after some talent... firgure best to cash in on totti now. de rossi is the new capitain!

Re: FIFA 10 MANAGER MODE Progress thread

Everyone is jumping on my boys from Rome.

Despite sitting on top of the table with 2 games in-hand the board is still not pleased. If I get canned I will be really pissed.
