How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

[Bellsprout]

HELP!!!!!
I've started a new career with Borussia Dortmund and have been really enjoying, i am in the january transfer window and Barca offered me 73 Millions of Euros for Gotze, however he has been playing really well (87 Ovrl, 92 Pot, 17G and 6 Ast), should I sell him?

Go crazy and counter with like 95 mil. If they take it, great, you're 95 mil richer. If not, you keep him.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

So I am starting a custom tournament league that is basically the MLS with 5 possible expansion teams, Atlanta Silverbacks, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, San Antonio Scorpions, Minnesota Stars and Orlando City. I'm taking over as Orlando City and we shall see how it goes. The expansion team are all rated below average for MLS so I gave each 20 mil transfer budget to start things off.

I'll post my lineup once the transfer window is closed.

They Ended Up Refusing, but later they offered 39 for Reus, I raised to 66 and they accepted, also sold Kuba to R. Madrid for 22.5 and Bender for 20 to Atletico (Looks La Liga's team watched really close my games )
With the income I bought Bale, J Rodriguez, Pogba, Zouma, Wickham and my 3rd 5-star Scout

My Team Right Now:
GK: Weidenfeller (82) (Gonna buy Ter Stegen next season)
RB: Piszczek (83)
CBs: Hummels (87) - Subotic (84)
LB: Schmelzer (81) (going to buy either Marcelo or Coentrao next season)
CDMs: Sahin (85) (I'll try to buy him next season) - Gundogan (83)
RM: Rodriguez (84)
LM: Bale (86)
CAM: Gotze (88)
ST: Lewandowske (86)
Main Subs: Zouma (74), Leitner (75), Schieber (79), Pogba (79)
I'll have to improve my bench in the next 2 seasons

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

Zouma is a beast. I have him in my FC Dallas squad. He went from a 73 to a 77 in one season. I probably won't be able to afford him for too much longer, but I'll be able to get quite a bit more for him than I paid.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

Hey all, I started a career with the Union in the MLS and it's fun and all, but I was wondering if there was any way to get more money because I want to make them amazing but it doesn't seem possible in FIFA as I won't be able to do any of the European tournaments or anything like that

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

An update on my Atletico Madrid career:

Still in my 2nd season. We sit in 2nd in La Liga behind Valencia by 1 point. We're currently in the quarterfinals (against Man City again, now with Ronaldo) of the Champions league, having gone undefeated in our group and beating Copenhagen 5-1 agg. in the Round of 16. Some Champions League notes: Manchester United did not even qualify for the league, Real Madrid did not make it out of the group stage, and Barcelona lost in the R16 to Dortmund. We're also in the final of the Copa del Rey against Barcelona after beating Valencia in the semis.

It was a busy January transfer window for me. Diego Godin got homesick and requested a transfer, so I sold him to Arsenal for $10 million. Christian Rodriguez was not getting much playing time, so I sent him off to Chelsea, also for $10 million. I then brought in the 19 year old Brazilian defender Marquinhos from Corinthians for $7 mil. I also bought Junior Fernandes, the Chilean striker for Bayer Leverkusen for $7 mil to be a rotation player. I also bought Willian from Shakhtar Donetsk (I imported them from the Creation Center) for $14.5 million.

Here is my starting XI:

------------------------Salvatore Sirigu (84 ovr)---------------------------
Juanfran (81 ovr)--Miranda (82 ovr)--Martins Indi (79 ovr)--Filipe Luis(83 ovr)
------------------Turan (87 ovr)--------Rakitic (82 ovr)--------------------
-------Lamela (82 ovr)--------------------------------Adrian (86 ovr)------
-------------------------------Gomis (84 ovr)------------------------------
-------------------------------Aguero (90 ovr)----------------------------

Bench:
GK Sergio Asenjo (74 ovr)
CB Marquinhos (74 ovr)
ST Junior Fernandes (79 ovr)
ST Diego Costa (82 ovr)
LM Ola John (78 ovr)
CB Douglao (75 ovr)
CAM Willian (80 ovr)

On the international side, we (USA) drew with Argentina 2-2 after a terrible penalty call in the dying minutes allowed Messi to tie it up. We also beat Ivory Coast 3-0 and lost to Cameroon 2-0 (simulated). We have a friendly against England coming up that will be our final test before the World Cup this summer. Overall, the team has really improved, and I'm hoping for a strong showing at the WC.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

Off to an insanely good start in year 3 with FC Dallas. Currently sitting at 9-2-0, in 2nd place believe it or not since Seattle is 9-3-0. We had our biggest victory ever against the last place Whitecaps, winning 6-0.

This is really a championship or bust year for us. It's gotten to the point where I have several players that are going to want $25,000+ a week, which I definitely can't afford as an MLS club. Brek Shea is in a contract year and asking for $35,000. I'm torn whether I should try to get rid of him in the summer transfer period or hold onto him for our MLS Cup run.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

Started out with Nottingham Forest, intended on staying there and developing with the club into a Premiership side. However Arsenal came calling, and I decided to go to Emirates in the January transfer window, ended up winning the FA Cup with Arsenal. Then during the summer Wenger decided to start shopping for strikers, but nothing materialized(realistic!) So I was planning on Arsenal4lyfe. However January transfer window comes and he signs three strikers, all of them a higher overall than I, so I request a transfer, end up at Ajax in Holland. I can deal, 5 players are on the Danish international squad with me.

Speaking of which the 2014 World Cup, we got drawn with Brazil, Finland and New Zealand.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

I started with Borussia Mönchengladbach, made no deals during the Summer Transfer window. Around November got my first International job offer for Colombia, than Korea, Boliva and CZech came knocing. Turned them down.

I applied to manage at Liverpool but they rejected me, saying not enough experience. Than VfL Wolfsburg offered me a gig. I turned them down.

Peniel Mlapa stock was rising. 11 goals and 7 assists and when the January window open, kept getting offers but rejected them all. Liverpool than came offering me a gig, so I took it.

Finished 13W, 4D, 8L in 25 games with BMG. Biggest win was 3-2 against Bayern Munich and biggest loss was 3-0 Bayer 04.

Packed my bags and left for Liverpool, where they are in 7th place with 36 points and Man U with 58 points. I got a lot of catching up to do, but Liverpool is built for the future with there talent.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

Another update on my Atletico Madrid career:

Just finished the 2nd season. When I last updated, I was about to face Manchester City in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The first leg was played in Madrid. I was really outplayed (Ronaldo and David Silva murdered my defenders) but Sirigu made a ton of fantastic saves and we managed to get a 0-0 draw. So now we had to go into the Etihad and win against Ronaldo and co. in order to avenge last season's loss to the Citizens. We got an early goal from Adrian and basically played defense for the rest of the match, holding on for a 1-0 win.

Next up we took on Bayern Munich in the semis. The first leg, played in the Allianz, was one of the most fun games I've ever had in FIFA. It was a really balanced game, with each team trading blows. We started off scoring with a Bafetimbi Gomis rocket into the upper 90, totally unstoppable for Neuer. 1-0 in the 14th minute. Bayern then attacked relentlessly, getting shot after shot stopped by Sirigu. Eventually, Arjen Robben slotted one home in the 34th minute, tying the match up. For the rest of the match, one team would attack, get a shot saved or parried, and then rush back to defend a furious counterattack. In the 90th minute, Erik Lamela sent a great cross into the box which Diego Costa headed home to give us a 2-1 lead going into the 2nd leg. The 2nd leg was not nearly as exciting, but Sergio Aguero scored early and the semis ended 3-1 aggregate.

I now had a chance to win a Treble in just my 2nd year of managing, being atop La Liga, in the final of the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League final. First, I clinched La Liga with a 3-0 win over Celta Vigo. In the Copa del Rey final I was defeated by Barcelona, 1-0 on a Fabregas header in the 55th minute.

I faced a new look Inter in the Champions League final. They had a side that featured Carlos Tevez, Robert Lewandowski, Raul Meireles, and an excellent Samir Handanovic. The match started and I continued my trend of scoring early, with Bafetimbi Gomis scoring in the 11th minute (unfortunately he broke his ankle shortly after). Later in the half, my defense had its only breakdown of the match, allowing Tevez to find room off of a long lob pass and putting it into the back of the net. 1-1 in the 38th minute. Eventually in the 2nd half, who else but Adrian broke free and scored his 41st goal of the season and clinched the Champions League for us.

I then began my World Cup campaign with the USA. Our group was Italy, US, Sweden, and Cameroon. Our first match pitted us against Italy. We started out decently on offense, getting a few shots, but had no goals to show for it. Our defense really struggled against Mario Balotelli and the youngster Giacomo Bonaventura. Near the end of the 1st half Italy earned a penalty. Balotelli stepped up and attempted a stutter step shot. Brad Guzan was fooled at first, but at the last second dove to the open net and parried the shot away, keeping the score level at 0. Fast forward to the 2nd half, where Clint Dempsey slotted one into the bottom corner of the goal off of a nice feed from Jozy Altidore to give the Americans the stunning upset to start off the World Cup. Up next is Sweden, featuring Ibrahimovic, Rasmus Elm of CSKA Moscow, and Sebastian Larsson of Sunderland.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

One thing i would like in FIFA career, if i could have two squads, Major games i would play with 1st team, but minor game with reserves, to keep their morale above mid.
But still, its so easy to play with high end clubs. Started with Hamburger SV, and in 2nd season i got oppurtunity to join Chealsea with so huge cash already.

And now my team after one season in my control look this:

GK -- ter stegen 81 (22)
RB -- Azpilicueta 82 (25)
RCB -- David Luiz 82 (27)
LCB -- J.Okore 79 (22)
LB -- D.Alaba 79 (22)
CDM -- J.Wilshere 87 (23)
RM -- E.Hazard 90 (24)
LM -- Juan Mata 87 (26)
CAM -- Oscar 86 (23)
RS -- Neymar 88 (22)
LS -- Lukaku 80 (21)

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

i started a player career with the new york redbulls as a striker. i played about 20 matches and then was transfered to everton at the end of august. i had 23 goals in my time with new york (world class diff). i felt it was time for a bigger challenge and wanted to prove myself in the epl. Being a liverpool fan it felt wierd at first to play for everton but hopefully i can prove myself and receive an offer from them down the road. this is a nice break from my manager mode career and ult team ive been messing with. very cool to see how everyones seasons are going.

Re: How's your FIFA 13 career mode going?

Started a CM with AFC Sunderland.

The first transfer window was very slow as the only move I made was bringing in the center midfielder Anderson from Manchester United.

League Table: Currently 2nd w/ 26pts (8-2-2)
Capital One Cup: Eliminated in Round of 16 by Norwich City, 1-1 (0-3)
FA Cup: Has yet to begin.

My striker, Steven Fletcher has been fantastic, as has CF Sessegnon and CM Cattermole. I definitely need to look into a better keeper in the long run, as Mignolet has been very inconsistent. John O'Shea also got hurt for 3 months which really did not help my back end.

Most impressive victories: 2-0 vs Arsenal, 2-1 vs Liverpool
Most disappointing losses: 3-2 vs Newcastle, 1-1 (0-3) vs Norwich City in Capital One Cup.
