The Dirty South - Atlanta United...season mode? (FIFA 17)

[Stonewall458]

So this is basically a holdover series until FIFA 18 gets released and then I'll be able to do a proper Atlanta United Career Mode. Basically, I'm doing CPU vs. CPU matches in Quickplay and replicating Atlanta United's 2017 season. To do this, I released all the players from DC United (their uniform is the closest to Atlanta's) and transferred/created all the current Atlanta players onto the club. I used the Ultimate Team ratings for all the created players and left the non-created player ratings alone.

I decided to do Quickplay because I didn't want to put all the effort into doing a career mode save when FIFA 18 will have all the ACTUAL players, uniforms, the team itself, etc. and that comes out in a few weeks. So this is just a short little series so that I still have something to do until 18 comes out.

Difficulty: World Class
Half Length: 20 Minutes
Sliders: "The dude abides" FIFA 17 CPU vs. CPU Sliders
House Rules:
- 5 Yellow Cards = 1 game suspension
- Additional 3 Yellow Cards = 1 game suspension
- Additional 3 Yellow Cards = 1 game suspension
- Additional 2 Yellow Cards = 1 game suspension
- Each 2 Yellow Cards afterward = 1 game suspension
- 1st Red Card = 1 game suspension
- 2nd Red Card = 2 game suspension
- 3rd Red Card = 3 game suspension
- Each subsequent Red Card = 3 game suspension
- If a player is injured and is forced to exit the game, he must miss the following game.
- No transfers, because there's not a good way to do it.

Why CPU vs. CPU? Why not just play all the games?
I'm lazy. And like I said before, I don't want to put too much effort into a short series.

What about the Playoffs?
There will be playoffs if we get at least 48 points over the course of the season (Win = 3, Draw = 1, Loss = 0). If we make the playoffs, I'll do 2 two-legged series against the 2nd and 1st best Eastern Conference opponents I faced. If we make it past that point, I'll face the toughest Western Conference team in the "final."

What about the US Open Cup?
When a US Open Cup game comes up, I'll pick an MLS team randomly for 4 rounds.

Will there be a Champions League?
Sort of. If we win MLS Cup or acquire at least 65 points over the course of the season, I'll face the top Overall rated teams from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia in Round Robin format. If we get at least 20 points from them, we'll advance to the Final Boss.

Final Boss?
Round Robin tournament against all the top European Clubs. I'm not sure how this will work because I doubt we'll get this far. But it'd be a nice ending.

STATS

This will be tallied up at the end of the season.

PRE-SEASON - GAME 1

Atlanta United - 0
Tottenham Hotspur - 3

It was a result I expected to be honest. Tottenham dominated us and probably would've scored at least 4 or 5 goals if not for Brad Guzan in goal. Definitely need more tweaking in my tactics before the regular season starts.
