In the future, I really hope they begin making downloadable content available for additional playable national teams, even if only buyable in certain countries. For example, I understand Canada not being pre-installed into the game, but I would certainly buy that NT for a couple dollars if they made the team available here. It would be nice to get called up once in a while in career mode. Either that, or adjust the national teams depending on which country the game is released in hmm

Just encountered a strange phenomenon in career mode where the ball is invisible.

Invisible ffs :facepalm:

Anyone else think the guy that announces scores from other matches during your match sounds like Ray Hudson? hmm

Skill games make me rage so bad, I only beat the dribbling one.

True. Different enough where it's not him (or I don't think it is) but pretty close as well.

Started a career with Chicago Fire as a CDM Very Happy

my club team is too good, i boss everygame, keep over 65% possession and just destroy the russian league, and make cup runs. after denying about 20 national team offers i finally took the Belgium job, obviously like the potential of belgiums team

Current starting 11
Zenit St Petersburg
4-3-3 Attack
GK:Marc Andre ter Stegen
RB:Azpilicueta
CB:Neven Subotic, Angelo Ogbonna (ogbonna is such a beast)
LB: Emiliano Insua
RCM:Axel Witsel (have him rated a 89 now, class player)
LCM:Thiago Alcantara
CAM:Mario Gotze
RW: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
ST: Stevan Jovetic (also have Mattia Destro on bench)
LW: Iker Muniain

love this team, gonna try keep it together aslong as i can, unless barca throws silly money at me like they have past 2 summers for Hulk (70 million) and El Sharaawy (65 million)....i imagine teams will be breaking down my door for Jovetic he is a GOAT in this game

its one simple thing i wanted and they have not added it?

how can you even call it manager mode if you are able to control the team. i guess ill wait for fm 13

by Onyx Fri Oct 05, 2012 1:02 pm

You can sim the games instead of playing them?

by pUsHa Fri Oct 05, 2012 1:32 pm

Why the f*ck did they take out player manager career !? ffs the only reason I ever played career was because I had my pro and that i could manage the team .... terrible move EA . I don't give a sh1t about hackers , they are going to hack you anyway ... dumbasses

by vivabarca38 Fri Oct 05, 2012 3:11 pm

I didnt know anyone played player manager lol...shite mode.Anyways loving the game.I was amazing on Fifa 11 then I sucked on Fifa 12 but now im getting closer to my Fifa 11 form. About 5000 coins on UT and still havent opened my starter packs too.

by Swanhends Fri Oct 05, 2012 7:01 pm

Rickyyyyyyy Alvarez has the most goals and 2nd most assists in the league

Atletico Madrid offers 16m
Valencia offers 17m
Barca offers 18m

Leave me alone ffs Mad

you have answered me exactly the same way for fifa 12 when i asked the same thing Laughing

its not fun simulating the game, that way i cant make subs change tactics and stuff during the game

by Ganso Fri Oct 05, 2012 7:23 pm

Why would you buy fifa if you don't want to control the players scratch

wait for FM in november

by Onyx Fri Oct 05, 2012 7:27 pm

Yeh I think FM would be a better option.

FM is more detailed than career mode.

by The Franchise Sat Oct 06, 2012 9:42 pm

Career mode is frustrating me to hell.

Frankly, I am not good enough yet to play the way I want to and as a result struggle and make me second guess my choice of team.

Take the difficulty down and its too easy, bring it up and im struggling.

Started with Arsenal, the defending is just horrible right now...so many goals just from long balls over the top I can barely do anything about.

I dont keep the ball well enough in the opponants half to control the game which would help me a great deal. The only comfortable possession I have is Arteta and the back 4 lol

In attack, Podo just seems akward out on the left unless he is letting fly at goal. That aside, doesnt effect the game. Walcotts constant speed is my best weapon but he isnt a starter for me...though I have to reconsider it given how im playing. Gervinho nor Giround have any impact whatsoever.

So close to starting over with someone else right now lol

by RedOranje Sat Oct 06, 2012 10:00 pm

Picked up Gaston Ramirez with Liverpool. It was between him (12m + Joke Hole, 25k/week) or Muniain (9m + Downs, 50k a week) for my attacking signing.

As it stands I'm honestly not sure what other transfers to go for in this first window, especially given that I only started with a 14m budget or so. Suggestions?

by RedOranje Sat Oct 06, 2012 10:00 pm

Oooh, also, Real Madrid paid about £5m for Pacheco. Very Happy

by FalcaoPunch Sat Oct 06, 2012 10:07 pm

Someone pickup Darwin Quintero

by Onyx Sat Oct 06, 2012 10:08 pm

How about Bocchetti?

He's on the last year of his contract I think and he's cheap. 78 rated and can play anywhere in defense. Would be a good backup.

by Freeza Sat Oct 06, 2012 11:38 pm

Viktor Fischer is a great relative cheap prospect in this game, Explosive potential :bow:

by Onyx Sun Oct 07, 2012 12:08 am

Also Yanga-Mbiwa is a cheap option for CB.

He gets to 84 and is on the last year of his contract.

by RedOranje Sun Oct 07, 2012 12:50 am

Not really in need of a CB given that I have Agger, Skrtel, Coates, Carragher (who is retiring at the end of the season), and Wilson... all of whom are 70 or above. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Thinking I may need a CDM given that Lucas has been given the Injury Prone trait. I currently have just over £7m (so can't afford the Bender twins) but am trying to sell Downing. I'm looking at loaning or signing Marrone/Pogba/Sergi Roberto if I can't raise the funds necessary for a signing.

by Freeza Sun Oct 07, 2012 12:57 am

Pogba, Romulo, Marrone and Fernando from Gremio are some good options for the CDM position

by RedOranje Sun Oct 07, 2012 3:46 am

Ended up selling Downing and getting Lars Bender. I also nearly sold Enrique (Stoke came in with a bid £4m over his value) and buying Clyne, but Enrique failed to agree terms with them.

Also, that FIFA realism. :bow:

City buy Pepe and he immediately injures Gaston Ramirez in his first PL match.

Current team:

Reina
Johnson - Skrtel - Agger - Enrique
Sahin/Allen - Bender/Lucas
Gerrard/Shelvey/Henderson
G. Ramirez - Suarez - Assaidi

Bench (outside of those that rotate regularly):
Doni
Coates
Kelly
Borini
Sterling
2 CM/CDMs

Henderson actually started the season in the first XI after finding some brilliant form in preseason... scored 2 goals and got an assist in my first two PL matches. Then picked up a thigh strain. :facepalm:
