Toughts
Its so hard for us to not conceed goals vs tough teams, Kuszczak is an ok keeper, but our central defense is really really lacking, like ive said before otigba is very good, but Tah is not that great, and even hes injured.
Forster-Caskey is playing very well offensively, so he might get more playing time.

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

Hertha, eh? I think we have a problem because I reserved them already. In all seriousness, go ahead with it! Just do it at a different time than me.



No! You would not like to do a Union Berlin career! You would hate it and you would not be able to win anything, you hear me?! The kits are terrible, you can't stand them!

I mean... if you absolutely want to do a career with them... go ahead... but if you do it you won't exist for me anymore!



Nice work for two days! I hope you do well. Do you have depth in your squad? Another centre back would be good, I think.

Yeah the depth isn't an issue, it's just the players aren't great and the ones that are good are old. I have about 6 players that can play CB, but none are better than Sidibe. Pepe the player i tried to sign was a CB who is better than Sidibe

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

So, i decided to play my real madrid CM again.
Loaded the file, and it said: -This file no longer exist-
Restarted the game, Again, same thing.

So my RM CM is gone..... Bummer, but what are u gonna do right?

So for my second project ( i always want to have 2 CM's or i get bored).
Here is the story line:

Feyenoord - Eredivisie, Sold all their good players to pay of their debt ( They sold, Pelle, de Vrij, Martins indi, Janmaat and Clasie, In reallife.) Now, they start a season with not alot of good players yet, Only old players and really young players. And, Jens Toornstra from FC Utrecht.
Same budget, can they still do well in the league?

So ye, thats gonna happen, i will update after every 3 months with Squad Report and standings.

Mitchell Langerak: £9.5 million to Roma
Javier Hernandez: £12.5 million to Marseille
Julian Schieber: Part of deal for player
Kevin Großkreutz: £5 million to FC Augsburg
Milos Jojic: £7 million to TSG Hoffenheim

Match 21

FC Bayern 0-3 Borussia Dortmund
Benteke 13
Benteke 45
Hummels 90
What a first game! At our biggest rivals stadium, we battered them. Well, on the score sheet. They had more shots, more possession, but we still won. Benteke had the ball chipped over the top towards him, he shrugged of the defender and volleyed into the top corner. He made it 2, slotting into the bottom corner after a Reus ball split the defence. Hummels, coming back from injury, was bought on with 5 minutes left and headed in from a corner to mark his return with a bang.

Match 22

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Eintracht Braunschweig
Hummels 12
Benteke 53
Lucca 75
Hummels gave us the lead from a free kick. With Reus, Modric and Sahin standing over the ball, Modric played it square towards debutant Schurrle who struck from distance. The ball smashed off the bar but Hummels headed in on the rebound. Benteke made it 2, smashing in from close range. Lucca got one back after Durm took the ball away from Hummels, allowing the attacker to slot in.

Match 23

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 TSG Hoffenheim
Elyounoussi 61
Schurrle 69
Benteke 74
After Subotic was sent off incorrectly in the 5th minute, we were overwhelmed. The deadlock was broken when a ball over the top by Rudy was slotted in by Elyounoussi. Volland then came on to make his debut against his former club and after breaking down the wing his low ball in was smashed in by Schurrle. He then broke down the wing and slotted in towards the far post for Benteke to tap in.

Press Conference

Can you explain your signings this window?

Of course. Well firstly I will talk about Andre (Schurrle). He was excellent at Newcastle and a pleasure to work with. I admire him as a player and am glad I could sign him. I signed Ricardo (Rodriguez) to add strength to the left back position. He has played in the Bundesliga for 5 years and has been consistently good for all of those years. Erik (Durm) just doesn't have the experience but is no doubt a good player, but the lack of experience causes mistakes. Kevin (Volland) joined because of his sheer quality. Seeing him in training and in the match against Hoffenheim just shows how good a player this man is. Toby (Alderweireld) comes in as defensive cover. He can play in the centre or on the right so he is being used as a replacement for Kevin (Großkreutz).

OK. What about the departures?

Mitchell (Langerak) is quite simply too good a keeper to stay in the reserves. Roma put in an excellent bid and we got rid of a player who deserves to play football at a high level for a good price. Javier (Hernandez) left simply because he was lazy. Possibly the reason for his exile, who knows other than the ex manager, but a bid came in that was over his valuation and let him go. Kevin (Großkreutz) left because we got a good price, and I would like to thank him for being a great servant to the club for 8 years. Milos (Jojic) went to Hoffenheim because I didn't want to hinder his potential. 24 years old and already decent, but he wouldn't get into the team. They basically gave us the money we paid for Volland straight back. Julian (Schieber) was involved in the deal to give him first team action as he had dropped down the pecking order since my arrival.

You also signed 2 players on pre-contract agreements. Care to explain?

Yes. Emre Can and Benedikt Howedes. 2 German players who can slot into the side, both with Bundesliga experience. They will both join on the 1st of July and hopefully slot into the team nicely.

We hear there were a few deals that broke down as well.

Yes. Luiz Adriano was close to joining on a £3.5 million deal from Shakhtar Donetsk but I was unable to finalise it in time. Veteran Italy and PSG midfielder Thiago Motta was also close to joining to add more experience to the side, but he failed his medical unfortunately. We also went in for Arsenal defender Johan Djourou. I was impressed with him when he was at Hamburg but the deal didn't go through as we ran out of time. We also tried to get 2 loanee's, Francis Coquelin and Mauricio Isla but neither Juventus nor Arsenal wanted to loan them.

Great signings. I'm excited you brought in your old player Shurrle. Someone you are familiar with, and who fits in well with your new German club.

Yeah that's why I signed him. For one he's German but he is also so fun to play with. I was going to sign Depay because he is kind of a legend scoring the winner in the Champions League final and he could be like a cult hero that goes everywhere but I think I'll get him at a different club if I do leave.

Press Conference

You are top of the league, just 5 games league games after taking over. And unbeaten under you!

Yes. It is brilliant but it just goes to show how tight this league is. The top 3 are 2 points apart and 4th down to 11th are just 5 points apart. The table can change so quickly in this division but of course it is brilliant to be top and to have an unbeaten record under myself.

And that is thanks in no small part to the rejuvenated Christian Benteke.

Yes he has been outstanding, but so has the team. Christian had scored 1 in 3 before he was exiled and has been bought back in and scored 5 in 4 for us. However, Andre (Schurrle) has been a standout for me as has Kevin (Volland). Both have played excellently in all their games and made instant impacts. Mats (Hummels) has came back and has played brilliantly and Ricardo (Rodriguez) has added stability on the left side of defence.

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

Morecambe F.C.
Season Three

The Shrimps

Marcus Marshall Declines Extension

Word has come out that Morecambe star, Marcus Marshall, has declined to extend his contract with the club, instead opting to move on once his contract is up. While this is a surprise to many, it gives the club plenty of time to come to a decision on this matter, as Marshall's contract runs through next season as well. Marshall has become an instrumental part of the team finding his role as first choice right wingback and right winger, even earning the captain's armband a handful of matches this season. It remains to be seen if the club will let the player move on earlier, or let him play out his contract first.

In other news, word has come out that role players Kevin Ellis and Wes Thomas are unsettled with their playing time. Both players saw plenty of time on the pitch last season, but have been relegated to the bench more often in the Championship. From our understanding, neither have specified any intent to leave the club, but it is certainly something to keep an eye on with the transfer window looming around the corner.

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

I know you said you were going to let kits be a big deciding factor on when you do end up getting 15. Here's Union Berlin's 2014/15 kits.

Thanks man I appreciate that! Don't think they look too bad. The kits in '14 are okay too so when it's time to get that career started I'll compare them. I think I'm leaning a little bit more towards '15 though.......

No! You would not like to do a Union Berlin career! You would hate it and you would not be able to win anything, you hear me?! The kits are terrible, you can't stand them!

I mean... if you absolutely want to do a career with them... go ahead... but if you do it you won't exist for me anymore!

We've been over this Sim, you need to read up on your Hertha-Union history :P

PRESS CONFERENCE

Q: How do you feel about these strikers?

A: Very good. I feel we can ride them to the Championship. Luke James is having a tremendous season, it just doesn't seem he is improving in training.

Q: How do you feel beating Chico's Wimbledon squad 2 - 0?

A: Pretty good, me and Chico are good friends [Are we still Chico? ] But it was irony that the man he suggested me to sign, Terry Gornell, scored against him twice. [Alright, so maybe you suggested a whole forum to sign him, not just me, just roll with it ]

Q: How do you feel with your spot on the table?

A: Very good. We sit 2nd only behind Portsmouth by 5 points, but we have a game in hand. At the beginning I was expected to finish mid table, here we are now. That'll be all.

Hope you enjoyed the long update, and uh, sorry for it being this long. Anyways, until next time!

Just admit it, you signed him because that's the only way you can stop him from scoring on you :P thanks for the mention. Hope he works out well for you!
