Started a new career with Bilbao. Opening transfer window - Sold Llorente for 15 mil, bought Torres ( 10 mil ) and Iturbe ( 6 mil )

Scored 13 goals with Torres by the summer window, and sold him to Madrid for 50 Mil. With that 50 mil, I bought Poli , Canales , Varane and Lamela. Completely changed my season around. Very Happy

You ruined Bilbao though! affraid

by Onyx Sat Mar 30, 2013 11:15 pm

Buying Torres for 10m and selling for 50m. :bow:

by The Lizard King Sun Mar 31, 2013 2:28 am

I get what you're saying about Bilbao being ruined. Very Happy

But I just bought myself an extremely effective bench.

The spine of my first team is untouched. ( Lamela is my CF, replacing Torres, Canales a sub for my CAM which rotates between Muniain and Susaeta, Poli for Iturraspe/Herrera and Varane for Amorebieta/San Jose.

If I could, I'd only sign Basque players, but the search function isn't racist enough. Maybe next year hmm

Online seasons = facing Real Madrid every game. :bow:

Just faced Man Utd on seasons. hmm

Madrid being the most popular team is hardly news, been that way for a few installments now. I play as Utd and Dortmund in general, and I've been coming up against a variety of teams. I'd say 2/5 games I play Madrid, but I've only bothered playing up to Division 4 or 5 so far. I hear it's Madrid, Madrid, Madrid in the top division.

You only have yourself to blame for choosing 5 star teams...

I think I've played Madrid 1 time in 60+ Seasons matches

The way Clive Tyldesley says 'Matuidi', is the most annoying shit ever.. I'm thinking about muting the commentary ffs

by Firenze Tue Apr 02, 2013 1:48 am

I switched him and Townsend off day 1

tbh I prefer playing while listening to music anyway.

by Onyx Tue Apr 02, 2013 1:49 am

Isn't the default commentary Martin Tyler and Alan Smith?

by LeSwagg James Tue Apr 02, 2013 1:59 am

Yeah but I just jumped into a kick-off game and it was Clive's crew.. Maybe somebody switched it lol

I don't mind the two, its just him saying 'Matuidi' grinds my gears

Good player, but it's frustrating that on my Roma team he's 78 overall with like 94 dribbling and 92 ball control and yet only has 2 star skill moves ffs.

He's pacy as frak though and has good shot power so he makes up for it. He'd be a beast player with more stars.

Shaktar still isn't though Mad

Yeah whats the deal with the Ukrainian league and FIFA

by RealGunner Tue Apr 02, 2013 4:58 pm

License agreement problems n stuff

by Onyx Tue Apr 02, 2013 5:11 pm

Downloaded Shakhtar from the creation centre some time ago, but just deleted them now because Willian no longer plays for them and FIFA takes longer to load at the start due to the creation centre.

by RealGunner Tue Apr 02, 2013 5:29 pm

Catalogue has like 4 options mt :facepalm:

by Onyx Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:11 pm

I have just accepted how hilariously it's scripted Laughing

by Onyx Tue Apr 02, 2013 7:12 pm

What happen? hmm

I am currently playing as the manager of Cardiff City and my team is just pure class. I have the best defence, midfield, and attack in the league, as well as every Welsh player over an 80 rating except for Allen. I won the EPL last season and the Europa league the year before that. The year before that, I was in the championship ffs. The best part? I never used a single cheat or required a foreign investor. I built my team like a phoenix from the ashes around a group of young free agents that blossomed into superstars very quickly and were mostly bought for 20-40 million each. Prior to Cardiff, I conquered the Eredivisie with FC Twente, led Switzerland to the semi-finals of the European Championship, managed Toronto FC into the greatest MLS team ever (only team in the history of time with 4 U23 Canadian players all rated 80+), and of course brought New fecking Zealand to the quarter-finals of the world cup in there as well without replaying a single match if I lost.

Why do I say all of this? Because even right now, not a single fecking top club will let me be their manager. Arsenal finished 8th last season in my career and are currently in 12th with an abysmal team. Despite this, every time I apply, they tell me they are looking at 'other candidates.' The same thing happens with 10th place Roma in Serie A, as well as 13th place Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Why the hell does the game just assume that since I'm managing Cardiff, I'm automatically a shit manager? It doesn't even take into account how epicly successful I've been or how my team shits all over every other team in the game at this stage of career mode.

In fairness, I gave up the chances to manage Chelsea, Spurs, and Man City when they offered me jobs, but it looks like I'll never be able to join a top club until I accept an offer from another historically 'top' club I have no interest in managing and use them as a stepping stone Mad
