Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
in my Dagenham CM the 2018 WC happened a couple of months ago and Denmark finished 2nd in their group behind Italy, in front of South Africa and Scotland, and beat France (who won every game in the group stage) in the Round of 16 before losing to Brazil (who finished 2nd) in quarters.vrabbit

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
@Jamie Nice England squad there, mate. Liking the call-ups for Jarvis and Ryan Taylor, though why on earth is Glen Johnson in there?
@Simppu I love the exchange between you and Mino. Did you happen to read Zlatan's autobiography by any chance?
@Tex Incredible budget! How much did you end the season with? Whatever, you got some great buys. Werner is going to be huge for you, I think!
@Cruzerr Even in your career mode, Jose gets the better of Arsenal's manager.
@Kenny I like the signings. Both low-key but with the potential to be devastating and huge.
@Moose Yeah, the transfer academy is going to be England, Scotland, and either Australia or USA. Really annoyed they won't let you search in Wales!
@Chico We're getting closer to the end of the season. I'm seriously more excited for this than anything else!
@Rabbit That CL group is just
Sheffield Wednesday actually got taken over by a Thai consortium yesterday, and I'm going to be writing that into my storyline, but towards the end of the season. There will be a slight modification to my transfer policy, which is...

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
You guessed it. I've read it about six times since getting it a few years ago and I love the book. That's why I chose Mino as the agent. He also doesn't listen to anyone and says what he wants, a bit like the manager character.
Jamie, getting eliminated so early from the World cup against Denmark must've been terrible. At least they made it to the final so you can feel a bit better.
Keano, a lot of 2-2 draws there. Some of them were against big teams and that's good. Also, great job beating Chelsea!-Simppu12-

The Wednesday: Preseason 2014
July 19, Middlewood
There's less than 10 days until we host Bradford City, and I've barely scratched the surface of how I want this team to play. It hasn't been the easiest of starts, but I think we're getting there. Training today was evidence that we're at least moving in the right direction.
"No, no, no. Joey, you're not supposed to move in. If your marker beats you, stay wide left. That's the whole point of zonal marking. You let either Claude or Tommy handle whoever is drifting in. Got that? Now try it again."
...
"Hey, boss. Can I have a word?"
"What's up, Joey?"
"About today's training exercise..."
"Listen, it'll come to you. Don't stress."
"Yeah, I reckon it should."
"And anyway, you lot were much better today than when we started. Now it's time to put it into practice."
"In preseason?"
"Yep, and you're starting at left back."
"Cheers, boss."
They're a bunch of good lads. I have some real characters, too. No need to worry about who to make captain. In fact, the headache is picking just one, but I think that Tommy Lees is the best fit. Strong, powerful, refuses to give up. He's perfect, actually.

July 29, Hillsborough Stadium
SHW 1-0 BRD
41' May
Incredible game today. We won 1-0 in my first match in charge, even though it was just a warm-up friendly. Bradford's players were a credit to their team, but my boys were good enough to come away with the win. If this had been a league game, those points would have been savoured for days and days. Stevie May did a number on those Bradford defenders. I still remember going nuts in the lead-up to his goal.
"What the hell is that? Come on, ref! They're hacking him down left and right! F*cking do something about it, you German bugger! Oh, Stevie, come on, shoot! YEEEEEEEEES! Have that, you chickens! Have that!"
Precious, aren't I?
********************
August 1, Rodney Parade
NEW 1-1 SHW
88' Zebroski
27' McCabe
We had to go down Wales for this one. Three and a half hours on the M42, all for the most boring 1-1 this club has ever had to suffer through. It was barely worth the effort, to tell the truth.
"Boss, remind me why we're doing this again?"
"Because our lovely chairman promised our fans in Wales they'd have a chance to see us play this season."
"Couldn't it have waited until Cardiff away in the league?"
"McCabe, don't expect logic from businessmen."
In the end, it was Rhys himself who scored our goal with a penalty halfway through the first period. Chris Zebroksi grabbed a late equaliser for Newport with a powerful shot. I'll need to keep my eye on that lad, maybe even have one of the scouts prepare a dossier.
"Can we go home now, boss?"

August 3, Hillsborough Stadium
SHW 3-3 FCK
7' Mamaev, 31' 44' Ari
61' May, 78' McCabe, 81' Hutchinson
Sorry to sound like a terrace chant, but who the f*ck are Krasnodar? Absolutely f*cking dreadful first half from us, completely clinical display from them. My players completely ignored everything I'd taught them. It was all long ball b*llocks. I ripped into those little sh*ts at the break.
"I don't give a damn if it's a friendly. If you lot can't score at least once, don't get back on the coach. Live here in the stadium until you understand what it means to be part of a team. Now go show your fans that you can fix your bloody problems."
It worked. Like some sort of Mourinho-esque magician, I lit a fire under their backsides. Not only did my boys score three in the second half, but they pummelled those Russian show ponies into submission. Half their squad were limping around by the time we equalised. That idiot Ari left the field on a stretcher, but that was due to his own stupidity. Mad b*stard ran into the advertising barrier and broke his ankle.
"More of that next time. And without that atrocious display from the first half, if you'd please."
"Lighten up, gaffer."
"What did you say, lad?"
"Oh, b*llocks."
********************
August 7, Middlewood
"Boss, you wanted to see us?"
"Yes, come in and sit down. How was training today?"
"Good. I think we could do some more work on some set pieces, though."
"I like the enthusiasm, but perhaps another time. Right now, I need to speak with you all about something very important."
"What's up, boss?"
"You know I don't like mincing words, so I'm just going to be blunt. The five of you aren't going to play very much if you stay here this season, and that's why I've arranged for you all to go on loan."
"Do you really think that's the best move for us?"
"I do, Raf. You're all very talented players, and I want you here for the long term, but right now what you need is game time. Now, I want you to look over these loan agreements with League One and League Two sides. You'll be playing 40-50 games with these teams, so I think it's for the best."
"Okay, boss. I mean, if you think this is the best move, I'm on board."
"Good, but read the agreement first. If there's something you don't agree with or understand, we can sort it out before you leave."

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Indi: That was really nicely written and a different twist on things. I really like what you are doing. The results were ok for preseason and I like the way you spoke to the 5 players that went out on loan instead of just listing them off. I'm looking forward to the season getting under way!Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
TOON TO THE TOP
SEASON 3
PS4
Community Shield
Newcastle 4-1 Spurs
Lamela 33
Dzsudzsak 45 (PEN)
Bony 69
Barkley 79
Perez 86
Lamela opened the scoring for Spurs, curling in from the edge of the box but Balasz equalised from the spot after being brought down. Bony gave us the lead with a header into the top corner before Barkley curled into the bottom corner. Débutante Enzo Perez settled late on, running clear on the counter before smashing into the top corner.
Match 1
Aston Villa 1-1 Newcastle
Barkley 33
Weimann 90
Our first match of the season came against last years third place team. We took the lead when Barkley was able to stroke into the bottom corner. Despite our domination, Weimann was able to equalise with the last kick if the game from a stupid Begovic mistake, passing straight to him to curl into the corner.
Match 2
Newcastle 2-1 Manchester United
Dzsudzsak 24
Di Maria 72
Bony 90
Balasz opened the scoring in this match, cutting inside and curling into the bottom corner. The game became end to end and eventually Di Maria was able to smash a thunderbolt into the top corner. However, in the last minute Bony was able to tap in from a low cross to give us the win.
Match 3
Spurs 2-0 Newcastle
De Jong 48
Chadli 76
Our former player Siem De Jong gave Spurs the lead, chipping Begovic on the rebound just after half time. Chadli made it 2, smashing into the bottom corner after chesting down on the edge of the box. Revenge for their Community Shield drumming.
League Cup Round 2
Newcastle 3-0 Carlisle
Perez 28
Riviere 56
Medel 62
Simmed.
Transfer Completed
German left midfielder Andre Schurrle has joined Newcastle United on a £19 million + Balasz Dzsudzsak. This looks like a great deal, a young, world class, world cup winning midfielder for an older, decreasing ability, Hungarian midfielder. However, many fans are unhappy. Balasz was excellent last season and developed a type of hero status. Also, there is the small matter of Schurrle being out for 4 months with an ACL injury. The injury occurred in a League Cup match but Newcastle are thought to have panicked. Having been in formed of a bid being accepted from FC Bayern, afraid of losing their man, they spent the large majority of their budget on a player who won't become available till January. And lost their first choice winger for him. A bad move.
Transfers IN
Enzo Perez: Pre Contract Agreement from Valencia
Andre Schurrle: £19 million + Dzsudzsak from Chelsea

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Jamie: Real nice England squad and I knew you would dominate the group stage with them, but what the hell Denmark?! I totally wasn't expecting that defeat, and then they go on to defeat Italy, who was undefeated in their group stage, and make it all the way to the final. Totally not what I was expecting. Are you planning on staying with England for long?Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Won't lie, a little jealous of you winning the Shield since I recently lost it. Really nice start to the season minus the loss to Tottenham, and I LOVE the Schurrle signing
Also excellent run in the Euro with England but tough luck against Denmark. Hope you stick with the motherland for the upcoming WC.
you're showing off with these updates, just on another level compared to the rest of us. Solid pre-season for your squad, looking forward to the season!
STRONG win over Chelsea to make up for that disappointing draw in Euro League. I expect Montero to ball out for you. Your form has dropped a bit since the beginning of the season but you're still in the thick of the race in both the EPL and Euro League and I think you'll get it done when it matters most. Oh, and I hope McCann stays in the academy for a couple of seasons
I'm sure the lads left it all out on the field vs Real and that's all you can ask for. I do think you'll be in Europa League next season since I doubt Real will finish outside the top 4. Glad to see the B team handled business against Valladolid too! Nice looking academy too

Season Objectives
Win The Euro League
Reach the semi-final of the FA Cup
Qualify for the Champions Cup
This is going to sound totally unfair, but while I dig indi's story/dialogue I find it hard to enjoy yours on this latest update. Again, only thing that matters is you enjoy what you do plus a lot of the guys here dig it too, but I wanted to be honest and not give you a fake comment here. Give me some games!
Your Starting XI is like the game's all-star roster, totally unfair and the league table shows it. Therefore I sort of enjoyed West Brom beating in you the C.O. semis
Unfortunate L against Newcastle in the C.O. but good to see you moving on in the F.A. and J Paint cups, as well as continuing to roll in League 1. Do you really only have 1 player in your academy? That was kind of surprising.
As others have pointed out, nice budget! Werner is definitely my favorite signing, he's going to be a star for you, but I also love the potential on Tah.vrabbit

"My first team was a little worn after playing a game two days before, so I took the chance with the B team and it payed"
"What a loss in the Champions Cup against Celtic, Will that impact your players form in the league?"
"That's Tough to say, You don't know how a loss like that effects a team until they actually play their next game"
"That Sporting game was a thriller Mr Beckham, What do you have to say about that performance?"
" That game was definitely a game to remember, I gotta give credit to Falcao for getting us those goals that he did, If it weren't for him that game may have ended in a draw."Currently Playing:

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
I always try to keep a healthy budget left over for the second half of the season for contract extensions, but I got the huge added values from winning the Pokal, and then the money for 8th place. I think I finished with around €11-13M left over in my budget. I was thinking about using it for Youth scouts, but decided to stick with what I had, and looks like it paid off!Comment

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
You know FIFA is unrealistic when Glen F**king Johnson is rated 86 at 32
EDIT: How can a game as big as FIFA not fix this bug that player that are 30 can grow to a 90 potential it just pisses me off.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?
Thanks
Haha! Yeah, I only have one Youth Squad player! It's fustrating because it seems that my scout just picks any random kid he finds. Aaron is the only one with actual potential out of all the others that he has given me. And also, money is extremely tight so I can't get a very good scout anyway...Current FIFA Careers:
