    EPL Vs La Liga

    I'm new to FIFA, but ive been playing this year's game quite a bit and have become pretty decent. I would really like to play Career Mode as a team in La Liga as I like the idea of playing with a Spanish team.

    What are the pros and cons of playing a career mode in La Liga versus EPL? I'm open to being convinced over to EPL if that is where I will get the best Career Mode experience. I don't know anything about transfers, etc. Would I get a better understanding of it in EPL? Thanks in advance.

    If you want to follow the EPL more in real life, playing the league in the game is a huge bonus. Also, you'll have more competitions to play in as well as a variety of more teams to play. Four divisions compared to two in Spain.

      Thanks I just played a great game with your team Arsenal that was very competitive. I may have to do EPL.

        The biggest downside for the Spanish league is that it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, and then everyone else. It could be fun to try to make it a "Big 3" though, by bringing another team up to their level.

          The other thing that I myself dislike is that a team such as Barcelona B could be promoted, as I doubt the game would stop it from happening.

            That's the thing that prevents me from doing a La Liga CM. If you're not RM or Barca, you only have 2-3 top level teams to play. And if you are RM or Barca, that's one less quality opponent to play.

            In the EPL you have ManU, Man City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool to play against.

              this is the main reason i keep getting drawn to epl. i want to do any of the other leagues but competition is so good in epl.

              i ended up making a creation center team with maxed out transfer budget. original plan was to put them in italy, but then i realized i picked man city stadium, which wouldnt be a big deal except they show the man city logo before each game and talk about the stadium during games. so i ended up putting them in epl, and pretend we share the stadium with man city.

              in hind sight this was probably the best move though, because the competition is so fierce. im fighting tooth and nail with tottenham for the last champ league spot with like a month left. i am recording my games though and plan on making a montage once i find my vid editing software.

                If you want a league with parody, plenty of stadiums and each team with a third kit, the Bundesliga is your answer.

                  I would say choose England! I think the level throughout the league is very strong, especially mid-table with the likes of Stoke, Everton, Newcastle and Aston Villa battling to finish in the top 10.

                  Plus, there are 4 in-game divisions in England, so if you get sacked or relegated at any point, the lower tier stuff can be very challenging. You could even start in league 2 (4th division) and try to get a team to the Premier League!

                  But in the interest of fairness, there are a few good teams in La Liga outside Real and Barça. Valencia have been a contender for a while, and Malaga have stacks of money, and a few great players such as Joaquin, Santi Cazorla and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

                    I started an Career Mode with Southend United in the nPower League 2. Put my Virtual Pro on the squad who was a 69 overall at the time. Pretty fun and challenging so far
