Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Thanks for the idea. I may go back to it now. Just a question, should I try to buy the players or change them using custom squads?

I did a similar thing that I posted earlier and used custom squads with some of the best u/19's in the BPL

Champions League Match 5

FC Porto 1-1 Liverpool

Match 15

Ivanovic 72

An unfortunate defeat. We gave it everything but now they are 10 points clear. Sterling gave us the lead with a diving header on the rebound but from a corner, David Luiz's header found Ivanovic to toe poke in at the near post. Matic then ran clear on the counter and smashed in.

To make things worse, Verratti has picked up an injury in training that will keep him out for 3 weeks

I've done that as well, but I did under 21s. But still it was very fun for those 5-6 years. I think it's more fun to do it with Rangers and put them into League 2.

You should manually change the players that you're not gonna keep on the team using customize squads. That way, once you start the career in League 2 you won't be a 5 star team anymore and your objectives won't be crazy high. Also, the press and board could get mad if you're selling off all your best players and replacing them with low overall players. The game won't understand what you're doing. So change your players manually, and then since City has a high budget use that budget to buy any player you want to bring in. Assuming they're gonna be low overall players for the first couple seasons it won't eat up your budget.

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Someone please help to get interest in career mode again. After 2-3 seasons of playing I get sort of bored because I am dominating everything and there seems like there is no challenge. Someone help me pick a new team to use that was fun in your opinion whether its using mostly youth players from the academy or a league 2 team, someone just please tell me what you find/found really fun. P.s I play on semi-pro cause I am just horrible at high difficulty.

Try any of the sliders from the main forum. Those would definitely help you with the "easy" part of playing. I would suggest moving Rangers FC into League 2 of the English league. Many people have done it and it's very fun and challenging to bring them into the Premier League. Plus, they have only youth talent, so you'll be able to see players grow every season.


If not Rangers, try out 1860 Munich in the 2nd tier of the German league. They have the same stadium as Bayren Munich (because in real life they share the stadium) and they have good youth talent also.
