How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

[BBallcoach]

I didn't see a thread for the Manager Mode tracking. I thought I'd start one for the NG forum. Mods if you feel this doesn't need to be here then feel free to delete it.

I started with Dagnam and Redbridge in League 2. I like to try and go from a League 2 team to an EPL team.

My first year I won the table and finished in the top 8 of the capital one cup! I simmed the quarterfinals vs Chelsea expecting to get blown out and We won in a sim. I was floored. I had a lot of players play fantastic, but Zavon Hines I sold in the summer transfer window for 800k which is insane he was my best player and my best Center Back I sold for 500k after throwing a 600k counter out there. I also sold a few other players. My youth scouts found a couple of fantastic players, a 17 year old striker from England who came in as a 60 ovl and has a potential of an 88. and CAM from Denmark who is a 58 ovl and has a potential of an 81. I also have a 16 year old defender who maybe up to a 56 ovl and a 77 potential, but until the market closes I will let him get some seasoning.

I'm starting my League 1 season tonight, I have a feeling I won't be winning in year one. I just hope to finish mid table.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

Havn't started my NG career made as of yet, should get my PS4 tomorrow.

I've already done the League 2 to BPL thing this year with York City, so I'm gonna stay away from that for a bit.

Thinking a mid-level club from the Netherlands, Russia, Portugal or Belgium. Just can't decide and I'm running out of time.

This will be the first career mode that I play all the games(or close to in and minus friendlies).

Any thoughts on a team of choice?

Took me 6 years(started BPL in year 7) to get to the BPL and won the Champions League in my 9th year. One of the best CMs I've had on any game(The Show, Madden, NCAAF, NCAAB, NBA 2k). It was a true Joy.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

I started a career with chelsea had a bad run and got sacked mid way through my first season. Took over Aston Villa for the remainder of the season, signed arteta(Arsenal) in January and finished mid table.

2nd season managed to sign Moses(Chelsea), Sissoko(Newcastle) and another unknown midfielder. Ireland and Bent came back from there loan spells. After a tough start managed to pick up some momentum and finish 4th went to the last game of the season, champions league here I come!

About to start my 3rd season the board have given me 27 million to spend not sure wether to try and lure a big player or make a few cheaper signings.

What I've been thinking of doing for my 2nd CM is taking one of the "Rest of World" teams like Rangers or AEK Athens and putting them into the Bundesliga 2. You could try something like that.

Using Fleetwood Town right now. I'm in my first year but not at home so I don't have my stats but I'm having a blast!

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

After finally settling on a slider set, I finally got my Roma CM underway and midway through my first season we're right in the hunt for one of the four UCL spots(FIFA has four spots unlike real life which has only three). After 18 rounds, here's the top 8:

1. Juventus - 50 points
2. AC Milan - 42 points
3. Napoli - 39 points
4. Fiorentina - 36 points
5. Inter - 35 points
6. Lazio - 35 points
7. Roma - 35 points
8. Udinese - 28 points

Back in early Dec we were sitting pretty in 3rd, but a four game stretch against top 10 competition set us back a little, even though we did pretty well, taking 7 of a possible 12 points from Fiorentina(H), Milan(A), Catania(H), and Juventus(A).It's now January 10th and the first transfer window is open(I kept the summer window closed), I'm hoping to pick up a winger, a striker, and a fullback along with maybe a young player or two with potential(my scouts have unearthed a few) but we have just €22M Euros to spend so getting all that is going to take some doing LOL:

Update: We were just able to come to terms with Barcelona and Torino for the services of young striker Toni Sanabria and left back Danilo D'Ambrosio, personal terms are still being discussed.

Is there a place that explains how all of this works? All I know is how the NFL and NBA works with their draft and trades. However I don't understand the transfer process.

Not as complicated as you might think.

Instead of trades you buy and sell players for a value based on that players rating, age, potential and such. Like for instance in my FC Koln CM(Germany) I sold a striker(Ujah) valued at 10 million for 30 mil!!! he was playing really well and in high demand and I used that money and brought in 3 other players to help my team overall.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

I chose QPR and won the playoff to get promoted into the BPL... got some extra transfer money and got some really good promising players...team was about mid table right where the board wanted me to be...lost back to back games (around 20-25 game mark) to Chelsea and Arsenal and got canned lol didnt make much sense but i guess it doesnt take that much

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

Well I'm 20 games or so into my League 1 in season 2, and we are 3 in the table. I have 5 injuries right and 3 of them are to my top 3 strikers. I am struggling to score right now. I've had to promote some of my youth academy players to my senior club just for depth. My best CDM suffered a "training injury" and is out 3 months. Which kills me. I'm hoping to make the playoffs lol

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

I started a League 2 Hartlepool. I had forgotten how much of a challenge this level of football is in a CM with the tight scheduling and lack of depth. The football is quite simple, and there is a lot of punt and chase, but it's a humble beginning I say!

Things started out with a great deal of mediocrity. A lot of 0-0 draws, 1-0 victories, and generally dull matches for a squad with promotion ambitions. I've been slowly gaining some momentum though as I've ended up eliminated from the Cup brackets, and therefore have some energy left for league games.

I've just entered the January window and brought in some much needed loan depth in the form of youngsters from the BPL. Akpom (58ovr) from Arsenal to give my gassed forwards a bit of a break without dropping the quality of attack, and Christiensen from Chelsea (58ovr) to help shore up the injury-riddled CB corps.

Things really picked up in league play in November and December, and we managed to pull ourselves from 9th to at tie with Plymouth Argyle atop the table. The real beauty of the season so far was a Christmas Eve match against York City in the snow that we won 3-0.

Currently sitting third in the league, three points back, after a terrible loss to a 10 man Wycombe. I really need to win the damn league so I can move up to a better level of football.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

I'm in my 6th season with Tottenham. I won the BCL crown in year 4, but haven't gotten very far in the Champion's League (my goal this year is to make the final). I have 3 FA Cups under my belt as well.

I have hardly any of the original players on my squad, currently (I think only 4 remain).

I have an aging Ibrahimovich up top with recently-purcased Neymar.

Having a complete blast. As a note, I sim any matches against bottom 7 teams and any group stage matches in which I'm "favored" unless advancement is on the line. Oh, and I recently resigned as France's National Team Manager to take the helm at Germany.

Re: How is your FIFA 14 NG Manager Mode going?

Does it make sense for a first time player (and maybe in general) to disable first year transfers? Don't know the exact lingo but you can at least disable the ones before the first match. Not sure it applies to the January rounds.

Seems weird to do all the transfers since the teams just did it IRL. Especially for a new player learning the team. Unnecessary reconstruction/early fantasy moment?

I'm asking for myself. I just started one and did a bunch of transfers including loaning out my own players. But I kept having to look at the roster to make sure I wasn't transferring stars, etc. Contemplating starting over and disabling early transfers. Oh yeah, I'm using a very good team (I'm told and from my novice opinion.). Thoughts?
