How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

@Keano: What a finish to the season! And to do it in such an emphatic way too scoring 5 goals on the last day to really prove that you belong in the top 2. What an amazing season for you. These season's where you are playing for something until the very last match always give you that extra excitement that make this game so fun.

T'was very exciting alright! I'm looking forward to playing with Venezuela now too.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I see... This post did take me a long time to write so I see what you're getting at. I didn't do anything different than usual, just my normal style of writing. It's just one month but I did have a lot of matches to write about. How about going forward, I make a separate post for Mexico and another for Osasuna instead of putting them both out together? I think the extra matches from Mexico can easily make my update become too crowded.

Thanks for the feedback though! Any feedback, even the negative, is always welcome! I apologize for hurting your eyes [emoji17]

Yea that works... like you said there were a lot of games that month. Maybe you could cut down on the amount you write about each game if you want to do one long post.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

That goal by Dybala was just beautiful! First the Ox and now Dybala, wow. The Norwich game looked very annoying and I know how irritating it it when they park the bus. The Jenkinson contract thingy was very weird.

Thanks for watching Simp! Yeah, I love having a few players on the team with 4*+ skill moves, because every once in a while I can string a few together and pull off a dazzling solo goal like that. Agreed on Norwich as well, as parking the bus is a brutal strategy to break down, but one that FIFA does actually seem to use realistically in my opinion, so that's a good thing.

As for yourself, Alaba is well known for being incredibly talented and versatile, so that is a phenomenal signing and Sokratis is undervalued on FIFA by a lot of people in my opinion! They should really do well in terms of solidifying your defense and keeping you as one of the top teams in Europe!

Everyone else: I am following along with updates, but work and life and what have you has really kept me from having the time for a good sit down to reply to everyone's careers. Of note, Keano congrats on the promotion with Forest and Tex great job taking Deportivo to the top of La Liga!

Borussia Dortmund: Rivals - Season 1

BVB 3 - 1 Hamburger SV
Hazard(BVB) 18'
Olic(HSV) 22'
Hazard(BVB) 37'
Hazard(BVB) 52'


Notes: A game in which we dominated. Hazard with a hat trick left me pretty happy.


FC Koln 1 - 1 BVB
Nagasawa(KOE) 33'
Bender(BVB) 90'


Notes: A game that we were lucky to draw. A very lucky 90th minute goal gave saved us a point.




BVB 2 - 2 Hannover 96
Joselu(H96) 44'
Stindl(H96) 50'
Zieler(H96) OG 60'
Volland(BVB) 69'

Notes: Again, very lucky to draw. Going from 2-0 down to 2-2 was relieving. Obviously games that we want to win, but you can't win them all. The OG was quite some luck taking a miraculous deflection off of the defender and ending up in. It somehow gave the OG to the keeper, however.


Braunschweig 0 - 4 BVB
Hazard(BVB) 37'
Aubameyang(BVB) 64'
Reus(BVB) 70'
Volland(BVB) 90'

Notes: A game that was dominated by Dortmund from the first whistle to the last. Never was a contest, they didn't ever get a real scoring chance. A couple of poor shots put on, but it was smooth sailing for Dortmund.


1. Eint. Frankfurt 22
2. BVB 21
3. FC Bayern 20
4. Bayer 04 19
5. FC Schalke 19
6. Bor. M'gladbach 19
7. VfL Wolfsburg 17
8 Hamburger SV 17
9 Hoffenheim 9
-------------------
12 Hertha BSC 8
-------------------
16 FC Koln 4
17 FC Ausburg 4
18 VfB Stuttgart 3

Month Notes: Overall, a good month. We dropped points leading to Frankfurt jumping us, I'm really surprised at their massive success, but I expect a drop off soon. Other than that, it is looking pretty good. I do have a couple of signings in mind, so at this point, I am hoping for priority, even though I don't feel they would get stolen if I don't get priority.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

@Blue Eagle: Depay is such a marquee signing, and it looks like he has started making an impact right away. Danilo, Leno, and Alcatara are unbelievable signings as well. The fee you got for Handanovic is unreal, and you are certainly putting it to good use.

Depay has been a great improvement over what we had going forward and really has made us a lot more unpredictable. Danilo and Thiago, as good as they are weren't my first choice signing for either position I really want Witsel and Coleman. They both cost to much and I'm happy with both the only problem that I have run into with them is Thiago's low stamina. The fee for Handanovic was quite odd. They offered me 35million and I countered to 59,000,000 and they came back to me saying they would only spend 58,999,000. I think what I did with the money was good though and overall I am happy.

Those are some very, very nice signings! I was surprised when I saw that you signed Leno but then I saw that Handanovic wanted to leave. Every one of those signings should do well for you! You've done a good job lowering the average age of the team. The results weren't amazing but you're still doing well in the league.

I think the results will start picking up once we get the better rotation players in. Fixtures have been hectic and it cause lots of games with less then desirable starters. I think Leno will be a good replacement for Handanovic, I really didn't want to sell him but I was afraid that the board might sell him for a low fee so I sold him for as much as I could.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Regens: Some poor draws this month but you did have some convincing wins too! Frankfurt are a big surprise but as you said, I don't think that they will sustain it.

Moose: Thanks man! Promotion was really sweet. I hope I can get to watch one of your recent videos soon.

West Ham United - Episode #78: Jenko Learns Math

In this episode, we have two Premier League matchups against Leicester City and Norwich City, while having an "interesting" contract request from starting right back Carl Jenkinson.

What a goal by Dybala! Sorry to see Wickham can't score but Carroll can even though he's rated lower! Crazy contract thing with Jenkinson haha. Talk about parking the bus! Great to see Valencia snatching it at the end though and good luck with Bayern.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Regens: Very good young stars for your signings! Wilson has already started well and so have you with 3 wins and a draw. Good going and you should get promoted.

I guess I should clarify, Callum Wilson is the one scoring in the post. I ended up getting James Wilson on deadline day at the very end. From now on I will initialize it C. Wilson and J. Wilson. My bad. Thanks for the reply though.

Yeah I thought it was James since you signed him and I completely forgot about Callum. (Don't shoot me )

Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's such a shame that Wickham can't seem to score because his speed, link up play, passing, etc. are all better than Sir Andrew, but AC is always better at two things: positioning and finishing. And obviously, those are the two I need the most. Thanks for the luck, we definitely needed it!

Lemme know how the tie goes against Bayern, in case I can't watch the vid.

Well coz of my internet limits I just skipped to the goals.... My what a strike by Kouyate!!! Absolute belter I must say. That deflection at the end....oh my, It was heartbreaking to see that Leno just couldn't reach it. Great away point however. How's the group looking?
