EA really botched up the implementation of these Career Mode catalog "boosts".

The Financial Takeover really isn't any type of "takeover", it's simply a one time influx of money that you get at the club, and must be spent or it is lost (unless you use the Wage/Transfer allocation trick). Not sure why they create this "cheat", then only let you buy it one time.

And the International Manager "cheat" takes a while to work, but eventually (I think it took me a few weeks in 14) you will get an offer.

The explanation for how these are used and what effects they have in your CM couldn't be worse from EA. It's very unintuitive and confusing. Don't buy the Financial Takeover until you know that you are creating (or have already created & are in progress of playing) a CM that you want to apply this to. I made that mistake before and now I'm stuck using one of the two "Takeovers" on my very next CM that I load.
