Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Ah, so you don't feel like you've made the right course decision. You must have had a reason for choosing it over other options though, right? The more hard work that is involved, the bigger the rewards. Just remember that.

Yes, pretty much. Allthough apart from the harder exams and grade systems I do prefer the IB programme. The other options were either about ten regular programmes where you study in Finnish, musical, theatrical or mathematical programmes, vocational school or work. The IB one is a worldwide thing and the certificate is accepted everywhere in the world, at least according to the little book I received. Also, everything you study is in English. Those are my reasons behind the choice and I hope that it helps me to reach my dream job.

What's your dream job if you don't mind me asking?

No, I don't mind. It's being a commercial pilot.

I can see where the international part as well as the English would come in handy then.

Don't beat yourself up over the choice. I do the European Baccalaureate programmes, which isn't too far dissimilar and I haven't even noticed a difference. I just go to lessons, take exams etc. You just take it in your stride like you would do if you took those lessons anyway.

MAKING THEM DREAM
SEASON 1
LEGENDARY
PS4

League Cup Round 2

Liverpool 2-0 Tranmere Rovers
Sterling 27
Henderson 54
In the first "Merseyside derby" of the season, the low key one that no-one really cares about, we came away with a deserved victory over a resilient Tranmere. We opened the scoring after Sturridge's effort was brilliantly saved, Sterling acrobatically firing into the roof of the net. Henderson's goal was good as well, showing excellent close control in the box before calmly placing into the far corner.

Champions League Group Stage Match 1

SL Benfica 0-1 Liverpool
Kovacic 90
This game was a lot more physical than I expected, Benfica playing dirty and making lots of fouls, particularly on Sterling when he humiliated the defenders with his close ball control and dribbling. However, they still made better chances than us, Jonas heading over for the Portuguese outfit before Lima was denied by Mignolet. Mignolet made another great save late on to deny Salvio, getting a MOTM performance for his efforts. Sturridge had forced a couple of easy saves on Cesar but new signing Kovacic got his first goal for the club, firing in from 6 yards from a hard ball across the face of goal by Sturridge. Sakho ended up injured with a sprained knee.

Match 5

West Ham 1-3 Liverpool
Carroll 13
Henderson 34
Balotelii 72
Balotelli 77
Carroll gave West Ham the lead against his former club, prodding in on the rebound after Mignolet failed to handle Valencia's fierce shot. Henderson equalised, firing in from a tight angle through the keepers legs. In the second half, Balo came off the bench and almost made an immediate impact, hitting the post from 10 yards. Sturridge then forced the keeper into a good save not long after. Balo then gave us the lead with a great header to find the back of the net from an even better cross by Clyne. He then got his second, receiving a great ball from Lucas to then run clear and fire in past the keeper. Downing had a goal disallowed for offside late on as West Ham mounted a challenge.

League Cup Round 3

Wycombe 0-1 Liverpool
Lambert 8

Match 6

Liverpool 3-1 Everton
Sturridge 13
Sterling 16
Lukaku 42
Sterling 45
We took the lead against our neighbours through a powerful first time strike by Sturridge to find the top corner. Sterling made it 2 soon after, skipping past 5 players before stroking past Howard, a showcase of unbelievable quality. Lukaku pulled one back after Mignolet made a stupid error, passing the ball right to the Belgian striker to fire home with ease. We regained our 2 goal lead soon after, Sterling flying in with an unorthodox volley to find the goal. The second half was quite dull, the biggest event being Lukaku firing a penalty over the bar.

League Table

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

So I tried out the sliders Indi posted and.... I hated them. It made the game 10x less enjoyable for me. The match felt too long on 10 minute halves, the 100 first touch error is stupid, there were many things I hated.

I'll elaborate. Having 100 first touch error made the game slow down, it wasn't fluid and my god it wasn't realistic. A world class player would not send the ball 5 yards away to an opposition player from a throw in. The 20/20 pass speed was OK, but seemed a bit too slow. I'm going to experiment with it, somewhere between the default 50, and 20. I personally dislike the manual controls, only personal opinion though. I'd much prefer to be on semi/assisted. Injury frequency meant my players were getting injured way too easily, but that might have been bad luck. Pass error combined with manual was too much for me, I'd rather turn it back down to 50 and play on manual. Finally, the defensive sliders meant my defenders were always out of position and being caught out between the centre back and full back. It made me rage quit, I've not done that since I was like 13.

All of this is a personal opinion.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Keano Tough that Immobile got that 88th minute winner for Dortmund. Also, seems like Hoffenheim really has your number by handing you 2 defeats. Sorry to see you crash out of the cup. Good result against Hertha though, and like you said, still in a Europa League spot.

texasbum Perfect month, especially that Capital One Cup win over Burnley. Being in the last 16 of that competition as a League 2 side is impressive. 9 wins in your first 10 league games is great after that loss to Argyle. What a month for Barcham with 7 goals and 3 assists. He really did everything. Will be interesting to see how you adjust to the new sliders. Hopefully it doesn't hurt your form.

Blue Eagle Great run of form in the league to climb from 15th to 8th. The results against Spurs and United were particularly good. I'm glad that Hernandez is doing well for you as I really enjoyed him at Palermo, but he had a horrible year IRL for Hull.

Simppu 3 matches with Real, wow. Congrats on the Super Copa. Nice to get that 89th minute winner from Bacca against Getafe too. Then a 90th minute winner for Piatti against Betis. You really snatched those 6 points in dramatic fashion. Champions League group looks pretty tough as even Basel is a quality side. Great transfers too, and all Spanish players.

Yeah, like I said, Dortmund was a killer. I thought I was gonna leave with a point against the league leaders but then Westermann, CB, just got caught in possession and didn't have enough pace to catch Immobile. Tough, but sure that's football I guess. Hoffenheim really frustrated me. Volland was impressive though, I think he got 2 or 3 goals over the 2 games. Modeste was a pest up front too. I just hope they aren't my bogey team and that I can beat them layer on in the season. The Hetha game felt good and Lassoga was unstoppable. I'm really enjoying this career and hope it lasts maybe 5+ seasons. When I get bored I might just mine to a different club and keep doing that until the 15 seasons are done. That won't be a while though, I want to win the treble first!

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I might try something different in my updates rather than player of the month. Already more than halfway done with the next month though so it might have to wait. I'll have to see. If my next update still has a POTM, the change will be made for the month after for sure.

I'm not a fan of the 20/20 pass speed I agree with that, but I wholeheartedly disagree with basically everything else you just said! Like you said, it's all opinion, so I'm not saying this just to argue or anything! I personally love the 100 FT error, though using it around 80/90 works well too. I feel that the game just plays too perfect out of the box, as in that's why you see so many videos of guys taking down over the top through balls perfectly on their chest ALL of the time, which is silliness. It just helps to get rid of the robotic feel when you have a couple errors, with things like a heavy touch being things that you don't see enogh of in FIFA as everyone does it at some point or another IRL. It just adds a bit more chaos and sloppiness to give the game a bit more of an organic feel.

I think you're also just too used to the assisted FIFA, which is not a crack at you, but just more at the difference between the two. When you play all manual it is so rewarding to make a perfect through ball or score a pearler from long range because it came down to your actual input to the game (and also to player attributes as well), but making the move from assisted to manual and also upping error sliders is just a bi adjustment. Not to mention, some people just want to play a game of FIFA with 5-6 minute halves and get on with it, where I enjoy the 15 minute halves because it lets me play at a realistic pace where I can reset my attack and things like that without thinking that I wasted 20 minutes of time in game, you know? And that's really what those sliders are meant to do, to try to get FIFA to more closely emulate real life, which I think we can probably agree that it doesn't (as much) right out of the box.

So like you said, for the TLDR people it basically is just something that is related to personal preference of how you want to play FIFA.

Hopefully you take this as I intended it and not as a crack on your FIFA ability or outlook!

Fair enough. I did forget to mention that the manual through ball has to be your primary method of passing, but like Moose said, I think you are habituated so much to assisted controls that you find the initial transition irritating. I also would rage quit often when I first used manual controls, but I would never go back now that I've got used to them. As for your issues about the sliders and first touch, I feel as though you prefer a more direct and box-to-box experience, instead of the simulated feel that Moose and I go for. At least that's the only way I can rationalise your finding the defensive sliders out of sync. Pass speed at 20 serves primarily to reduce the CPU's tendency to blitz the box, and improves their build-up play and the variety of shots/goals they take/score. Again, this is not a crack at you. You're fully entitled to enjoy the game how you want.

Failed to score in the first two matches using it. I like these a lot better. Makes the game much more difficult. The manual through balls are particularly more difficult.

Use the manual through pass (Triangle/Y) as your primary method of distribution, rather than the ground pass (X/A). That makes all the difference to having 20 pass speed. You get the benefits of the CPU playing realistically, as well as not having to contend with often weak passes.

I'm not a fan of the 20/20 pass speed I agree with that, but I wholeheartedly disagree with basically everything else you just said!

I agree with much of what you said. The game plays way too clean out of the box, and FT error sliders are one of the ways you can fix that. However I think the 20 pass speed is fantastic if you use the manual through ball as your primary method of distribution. This is the key to avoiding sluggish passes but still get more variety in CPU build-up, chance creation and attack. But in the end, to each his own as you said. If someone enjoys a more arcade experience, all power to him.
