Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

@_Chico – A great result to beat Napoli! I hope you can make it through your group. It was too bad to see two 0-0 draws but it seems that you have gotten past them and are doing well once again. You’re so close to the top! Keep up the good results and good luck getting your targets when the transfer window opens.

@Simppu – A great month with Hertha! Beating Real Madrid and going through to the final is no easy task no matter how good your team is. I believe that you will beable to beat Bayern in the final and take home the trophy, best of luck!

@Cruzerr – Certainly a tough month with a few tough defeats. Ninth is still a good place for Burnley to be in the table. I think Milner would be the beat signings of the ones that you listed. Also Cleverly If you could get him, young and can play anywhere in the middle of the park.

@Jagger – Glad to see Thomas win Birmingham Player of the Year, he has been great all season and certainly deserves it. I think you will need to strengthen the squad before next season, but at the same time you saw some nice growth in a couple of players. I hope you do great next year in the prem.

@Regens – Good to see you top of the Bundesliga and Hazard has been a great help since coming in. With us both managing Portugal I’ll be interested to see what we do differently and how our success’ compare.

@Keano – I’m happy to see you do a career with Wycombe. It will be interesting to see what you do and hopefully get them promoted, maybe even win the league.

@Southern – What a result against Zenit! That’s a good win for you and then to go undefeated for the rest of the month is fantastic. Also always awesome to see plays called up to play for their nation for the first time. You could even win the title if you keep getting good results and Zenit slips up. Just keep going and good luck.

I know that's probably not everyone but I'll try and make sure I get everyone at some point and know that I am reading every thing that is posted!

Yep, Hazard has been POTY so far, although I do believe Aubameyang is tied with him on goals, I'm planning to sell Aubameyang in the window, because I believe a huge offer will come in. There's a little heads up to Cruzerr and Jamie if they want to sign him. As for the Portugal job, it was really taken to build up my rep, you could say. I am looking for a better job, but I don't believe I could get it now. Maybe around February or March I could resign and get a better job, but I would like to play a couple of games with Portugal first, tbh. Thanks for the reply.

FC Kaiserslautern 1 - 2 Hertha BSC
Ponde 10' pen
Ramos 32', Kalou 81'

The last league game of the season was played just for the sake of it. We had already secured the title and we weren't going for a record amount of points. Kaiserslautern on the other didn't have a chance of getting away from the playoff spot. Surprisingly they took the lead early into the game from the penalty spot but twenty minutes later Adrian Ramos equalised with a beautiful curling halfvolley from a cross. Late into the game Salomon Kalou ran into the box and shot the ball past Kaiserlautern's keeper into the net.

Hertha Berlin Are German Champions!

Final
Hertha BSC - Bayern München

The one competition where Hertha have been excellent during the Müller era is the Deutscher Fussball-Bund Pokal, or the German cup. They have reached the semi finals in every season under his command and they've been in the final three times. This time Hertha were going to face the biggest German team, Bayern München. The Berliners were the slight favourites because they had beaten Bayern already twice this season but the game could go either way. The sold out Olympiastadion was ready for the final.

The referee, Felix Brych, who has also refereed Champions League games in his career, blew his whistle to start the game. It was Bayern's kickoff and the Bavarians controlled the first thirty minutes of the game. Diego Benaglio had to make a few saves as the ball was played around Hertha's defensive third. At the thirty-minute mark Hertha finally got some touches on the ball and nine minutes later Karim Bellarabi ran down the right wing. The winger passed the ball to Adrian Ramos in the middle who took the ball away from Jerome Boateng and finished it in the top right corner! Hertha were in the lead and the fans were going wild! Four minutes later Bellarabi ran again into the box and he curled the ball away from the goal. In stoppage time the ball was played to Hakan Calhanoglu who ran through the whole attacking third before shooting the ball past Neuer into the net!

The second half started and nothing spectacular happened until the 63rd minute when Arjen Robben got tackled inside the box. The following penalty was scored by Gonzalo Higuain and it looked like Bayern would get back into the game but Karim Bellarabi finally got onto the scoresheet in the 83rd minute when he scored Hertha's third goal and secured the DFB Pokal title! The domestic double had landed in Berlin for the second time in a row!

Final
Hertha BSC - Bayern München

The two teams faced each other exactly a week ago and the game ended in Hertha's convinsing 3-1 victory. Now they were going to play against each other once again and both teams were looking to lift the Champions League trophy. You don't hear this often but Bayern were the underdogs who were looking to avenge their loss in the DFB Pokal final.

The game started and this time it was Hertha's turn to kick the game off. Like usually they just passed the ball around the middle and the wings, waiting for an opportunity to score. In the 25th minute Gonzalo Higuian got played on goal and he curled the ball around Benaglio into the net to score... but it was offside! It then took about five minutes for Hertha to get their chance as Heung-Min Son cut inside from the left wing. The Korean then took a finess shot which found its way past Neuer! Hertha were once again in the lead! Eight minutes later Son passed the ball to Arnold on the left wing and the central midfielder crossed the ball into the box with his first touch. The ball flew over the jumping Jerome Boateng and Karim Bellarabi just headed the ball into the goal to double the lead. Five minutes later the ball was passed to Arjen Robben inside the box. The attacker simply shot the ball into the top left corner with his amazing left foot. Half an hour later Adrian Ramos got into the box, turned around Bayern's defender, took the ball around Manuel Neuer and simply tapped the ball into the goal! Deja vu. The ref blew his whistle and Hertha went to lift the Champions League trophy! They had won their first Champions League title and the first treble in the club's history!

What a season! We beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semi finals in a very exciting game and then we beat Bayern twice in two finals. Winning the treble is amazing and I'm very glad that my last season at Hertha ended in such success. The best player of the career has to be Salomon Kalou: he was there from the beginning and he always scored at least twenty goals a season. If I get bored or finish the next career before FIFA 16 I'll probably come back to Hertha for one more season.

The poll is looking very even at the moment and I'll let everyone vote at least until Tuesday. Then I'll reveal the new career. Right now Valencia are leading with five votes and after them we have Bilbao and Sevilla with four votes. Then there's Lyon who have three votes. It's looking like I'll be going to Spain. If you haven't voted yet, here's the poll. I appreciate it a lot!

Two penalties, my god. At first, Pelle was tackled by Keane in the box, which wasn't much of a foul at all. The second one was a huge clothesline by Keane to Tadic.

My Thoughts

Still better than the real Burnley - I mean, the month was really difficult, not going to lie, yet we are still in a pretty good position, compared to the real Burnley atleast.

Transfer time! - So, obviously, this transfer period is going to be big, as I am going to try to bring in a few of the English players, who are on their last months of the contract. Here are the TOP 10 of those players:

Steven Gerrard
James Milner
Rio Ferdinand
Glen Johnson
Micah Richards (On loan)
Tom Cleverley (On loan)
Wes Brown
Darren Bent (On loan)
Joey Barton
Ryan Taylor

Also, if I have a chance to bring some players in after I sell somebody, I will do that.

Next month - The month will start with a game against the Spurs, then an FA Cup game against Huddersfield. After that we shall face Crystal Palace, QPR and Sunderland.

I hope you enjoyed this post, please, if you have any feedback, do let me know!

It feels bad to see you losing so many games lately but compared to real life you're doing an amazing job. I think you won't go too far below the top ten this season. Your transfer targets look nice and I'm looking forward to the transfer window.

After being eliminated from the Russian Cup and losing to Zenit St. Petersburg earlier in the season at the Petrovsky Stadium, both by 1-0 scores, Terek Grozny was looking to exact revenge at the Akhmat Arena. The game was a thrilling contest that came down to the final minute, and this time Terek walked away with a hard-earned 3-2 win. Things didn't look good for Terek early though, as Zenit quickly opened the scoring in the 3rd minute on a strike from Alexandr Kerzhakov. In the 26th minute, Zenit came close to doubling their lead, but Danny's volley was just wide right of goal. Rashid Rakhimov's side would pull even in the 40th minute, when off of a corner, Artur Sarkisov sent a volley that was blocked by Zenit defender Nicolas Lombaerts. Pouncing quickly, Kanu picked up the deflection and slotted home a chance past Vyacheslav Malafeev. In the 2nd half, it would be Terek who would go up 2-1 after a Luís Neto giveaway sprung Maciej Rybus, who went around Lombaerts, and sent a shot off the right post and in during the 62nd minute. The Chechens would be unable to defend their lead however, as Kerzhakov's substitute Alexandr Bukharov evened the game 2-2 with a goal in the 79th minute. Terek was undaunted by the equalizer and would go back ahead in the 84th minute when Neto failed to clear the ball after an Igor Lebedenko run, and Adílson volleyed a shot by a diving Malafeev. That goal from the Brazilian midfielder would be enough to hold off the RFPL giants as Terek came away with the full 3 points.

Following their thrilling win against Zenit St. Petersburg, Terek Grozny headed on the road to Yekaterinburg to take on second-from-bottom FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast. The game was a clinical production from Terek, who secured a comfortable 3-0 win. Terek wasted no time in taking the lead as Facundo Píriz sent a shot from outside the box by Ural goalkeeper Evgeniy Pomazan in just the 6th minute of play. Scoring chances would dry up after that, but Píriz secured his second goal of the game in the 84th minute when the Uruguayan midfielder headed home a delivery from Fedor Kudryashov on a corner kick. Terek would get a third goal just before the whistle in the 90th minute as Magomed Mitrishev slid a chance between the legs of Pomazan to emphatically close out the game. It was also an easy day for Terek goalkeeper Yaroslav Godzyur, who was not forced to make a save as he picked up the clean sheet.

The victory also made it 5 in a row for manager Rashid Rakhimov's side after an 0-1-3 stretch. The deciding goal came in the 11th minute when Facundo Píriz sent a cross into the box that Maciej Rybus volleyed home by Krylya goalkeeper Ján Mucha. Krylya's first chance of the game would come in the 40th minute off of a corner, but Ivan Taranov headed the ball into the waiting arms of Terek goalkeeper Yaroslav Godzyur.

Mogilevets 26'

Despite visitors FC Tom Tomsk being bottom of the table in the RFPL, Terek Grozny was not taking this game lightly as The Chechens had been defeated in Siberia earlier in the season by Tom 1-0. As in that game, Tom goalkeeper Mladen Božović was in fine form, but the Montenegrin net minder wasn't enough to prevent a 2-0 defeat for Tom. Maciej Makuszewski started the offensive onslaught for Terek in the 13th minute, but Božović parried away the Polish midfielder's chance. Makuszewski then forced a turnover from Plamen Nikolov and set up Pavel Mogilevets who struck with a glorious laser from 30 yards out that beat Božović. Božović would then come up with two saves on Jonathan Legear and Oleg Ivanov before being beaten again by Maurício in the 45th minute. Terek continued to pour on the attack in the 2nd half, but Božović would not concede again as he made 12 saves in the game. On the other end of the pitch, Terek's third-choice goalkeeper Evgeniy Gorodov only had to make 1 save to pick up a clean sheet.

Manager's Thoughts
What a month! We went a perfect 4-0-0 and topped things off with that thrilling win against Zenit St. Petersburg. We have now moved into second place in the RFPL, which means if the season ended today, we would qualify for the Champions League. Obviously, there is still work to be done, but we look as if we should get no worse than a spot in the Europa League. As good as the win against Zenit was, I was equally impressed with our ability to dominate the lower-table teams we faced in FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast, Krylya Sovetov Samara, and FC Tom Tomsk. Those were games we were expected to take the full 3 points, and we handled business. Our midfield was sensational this month as we got big performances and goals from Facundo Píriz, Maciej Rybus, Maurício, Adílson, Kanu, and Pavel Mogilevets. The club also recorded 3 consecutive clean sheets to end the month, which is a tribute to our defensive players and goalkeepers.

International Duty
This month two Terek Grozny players were selected to represent their countries on international duty. Facundo Píriz, our Player of the Month, was called up by Uruguay, while defender Fedor Kudryashov will make his national team debut for Russia. Terek Grozny congratulates both players on their accomplishments.

April 2014 Fixtures
4/6 - vs Rostov
4/12 - at Volga
4/20 - vs Kuban
4/27 - at Spartak

With only two months remaining in the season, we need to finish strong to remain in our Champions League spot. There is even still a chance that we could win the league as we are only 3 points behind Zenit St. Petersburg. For this month, we will be gunning for 10 out of a possible 12 points. FC Rostov, Volga Nizhny Novgorod, and Kuban Krasnodar are all sides we have already beaten once, and I expect to handle each club again this time. In our first meeting against 5th place side Spartak Moskva, we battled to a 1-1 draw. As we head to the capital, I am looking to at least get another draw, although we will certainly be trying to get the win.

What an incredible month! Four wins with one of them being against Zenit is very good! Your doing well in the league and with a few good results you could still snatch the title. By the way, is there some kind of playoff system in the Russian league? I feel like it was mentioned in a magazine last year.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Is it just me or is FIFA different? Like, the gameplay seems so much faster. I literally am struggling to do anything because of how fast it is. Normal running feels like sprinting.

It's just like before for me. Maybe you're just having one of those bad runs where you struggle a lot. Are you sure you haven't changed the speed settings by accident?

This happens to me whenever I'm tired lmao. Probably just you, eventually you will snap out of it. Dortmund update coming up soon.

No I checked. I'm gonna try turning it down to slow and see how that goes. It could be to do with playing 4 minute halves but it's never been any different before.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

The Rivals: Borussia Dortmund - Season 1

BVB 6 - 2 Hoffenheim
Lamela(BVB) 2'
Hazard(BVB) (PEN) 24'
Szlai(HOF) 29'
Reus(BVB) 39'
Rudy(HOF) 51'
Hazard(BVB) 62'
Immobile(BVB) 75'
Volland(BVB) 81'

Notes: Wow. What a game. At the end, we just ran up the score because they were essentially on all out attack. The real score line should have been 4-2. Still, three points.

Hertha BSC 2 - 4 BVB
Poulsen(BVB) 39'
Stocker(BSC) 52'
Immobile(BVB) (PEN) 57'
Skjelbred(BSC) 62'
Ramos(BVB) 77'
Poulsen(BVB) 82'

Notes: Well played, Simp. It was back and forth until, again, the end. For whatever reason, Hertha went on the offensive, which I guess makes sense because they were at home, but a draw would have been a good result for them, I have to say. We really dominated, Hertha were sloppy with the ball, and you could say they missed Simp. Three points.

BVB 3 - 4 Wolfsburg
Bendtner(VfB) 44'
Schurrle(VfB) 45'
Aubameyang(BVB) 57'
Perisic(VfB) 69'
Hazard(BVB) (PEN) 75'
Vieirinha(VfB) 82'
Lamela(BVB) 88'

Notes: Disappointing. Really, going into the game, I wanted a draw at least. I swear we get a penalty every game, I don't understand it. The refs just like us. But out of all the people on Wolfsburg's team, Bendtner would be the one the score on me. I don't want to hear about being a Brighton legend(lol Indi), it was pretty bad. Leno disappointed. 0 points.

Werder Bremen 1 - 3 BVB
Hazard(BVB) 6'
Junuzovic(WB) 45'
Aubameyang(BVB) 67'
Aubameyang(BVB) 77'

Notes: Not bad at all. A quick, good, goal from Hazard and then two from Aubameyang will basically always have us beating Werder Bremen, not likely we give up 3 goals, let alone 4. Three points.

BVB 2 - 0 Ingolstadt (SIMMED)

Hazard(BVB) 14'
Reus(BVB) 46'

Notes: Simmed game in the cup, good win. Puts us into the quarter final, not too bad.

1. Borussia Dortmund 40
2. Eint. Frankfurt 39
3. VfL Wolfsburg 37
4. FC Bayern 35
5. Hamburger SV 34
6. Bayer Leverkusen 31
7. FC Schalke 29
8. Borussia M'gladbach 28

Month notes: What a month. Before our last Bundesliga game of the month, Frankfurt was leading the league by 2 points, luckily, they lost and I won so we took the lead, giving me the chance for priority. 40 points isn't too bad, I think it should hopefully win me it. Maybe not, though. Even if Frankfurt would have drawn I would have been leading, because of goal differential. Anyways, now I wait, and see if I lock up the priority.

Thanks for reading!

Slow didn't work. It was really sluggish and I ended up rage quitting :/

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

I think I'll end the vote now and go with Leipzig, they're up 4-3, so I'll start with them. Obviously only signing German players, but should I only sign players that can play for Germany in the game, or also sign players who would be eligible in real life for Germany, but isn't on Germany in the game? Right now I'm leaning towards option A, and sticking with who plays for Germany in the game.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

The Impossible almost happened. I won the FA Cup final against Portsmouth(they had a Financial Takeover) in a Penalty Shootout, Beat Celtic in the Euro league Semi's then I have to face the first club I played for as a player: Northampton Town(They won the League cup last year to get in) Going into this game i'm thinking ok we're facing a Championship Side, should be easy right? Nope Northampton Town gave Crystal Palace a run for there money and once again We go into a Penalty Shootout. My Player is up 1st and scores with ease. Torey steps up for Northampton and scores. Jedinak steps up for Palace and hits the Crossbar, Northampton scores 2 more times while we only score 1. Darwin Quintero is Palace's last hope. If he misses then Northampton wins and completes the upset. Quintero steps up to take the Penalty and he scores it. Northampton's captain steps up next and if he scores they win and complete the upset. He takes the shot and Scuffet saves it. After that a glitch occurs and my Player is up again to take the shot I shoot the ball and low and behold I hit the Post and it bounces out. Northampton's Torey steps up and he doesn't miss and Northampton Town win the Euro league 5-4 on Penalties
