Played against my mate online. He ALWAYS goes Real Madrid. It's so frustrating. Madrid are so overrated it's not funny. They outmuscle Rooney and and Van persie and Vidic with relative ease and these are playrs like Modric. It's ludicrous. They are also the most jammy team, as in the ball ALWAYS falls to their advantage.

So the Real Madrid players are destroying you, and that makes them overrated? I am confused.

Having some fun in Career mode now with the WSWanderers. On a quick side note, I love how Martin Tyler stuffs up various A-League players names, Paartalu is pronounced Part-ARE-lu, Leijer is Lay-jer. Some others he gets wrong as well and it's just funny to listen to.

But onto my season so far. Was a fairly easy time of it early on, won my first 3 games, then struggled for points after that, only winning 2 of the next 12 games. It's been a damn tough slog, so many missed chances and letting in so many easy one's. Also very tough to score when your front 4 have bugger all shooting stats, you really need to be VERY close to goal to get one in most of the time, or pluck a lucky long goal out.

In that 12 game stretch where I only won 2 games, I did have one of the best games I've ever played in. Was up against Adelaide, who I had beaten earlier in the season, although were now on top of the league ladder. I scored the first goal and thought it was going to be a rout, then they piled on 4 goals before half time. I thought I was absolutely done for. Made a few changes at the half and also decided to just go for all out attack as well, instantly the mentality changed and players were running for everything, breaking free, it was crazy to watch as before the half it was like my players were in sludge. Somehow worked back all 3 goals to even it up and even had a huge chance in the last minute which was fluffed by Gibbs who has a fairly weak shot. But it was still incredible to play in and make such a big comeback after being so deflated and down, and to do it with a side that wasn't very good either!

Now I'm 15 games in and 2 games into the transfer period. Which I was desperately waiting for to change up my side and kick Kresinger out of my side (he is SO shit!). I wanted A-League youth with potential, so brought in Risdon, Rojas, Cernak, Dugandzic, Jurman, Jesic and Fenton. Some were cheap, some less so (Fenton and Rojas cost an arm and a leg, although got rid of Kresinger with Rojas, so win there). Cernak was only 180k which was an absolute bargain since he'll grow into a good winger/attacking mid and is already rated 61, better than most of my side as it was.

The fresh changes were felt in the first game after transfers with a good 2-0 win over the Victory.

Now I've gotta turn around the rest of the season and make finals as I'm just sitting outside the Top 6 as it stands. But looking forward to the rest and building the side over a few seasons.

Mooy is a beast too, already got him from an overall of 63 to 69 (hahaaa 69!!!), most of which was after about 5 games into the season! Also managed to get the 91 paced, Appiah-Kubi from a 55 to 59 as he leads from the front, not a great shot at goal yet, but has so much speed to burn it's ridiculous!

I am playing every game, so it'll take a while to get a few seasons done. But that's why I play career, to play all the games and really experience it and feel the changes as they roll in. Not to just build an epic side through simming and only making changes. I also really like how much the A-League FEELS like the A-League, not just in lack of ability ( ) but in the fact that teams play like they really do. Victory and Roar pass around a lot, Mariners have a great variety of scoring options, stuff like that, that makes it really enjoyable to play.

I am a pretty good player but I know I am going to lose. You can't win every game but i absolutely peppered his goal and his keeper was making the most ridiculous saves of all time. He had two shots and won. I know it happens but it's from things like modric out muscling vidic. Just because you play for Real Madrid does not give all your players super speed and strength.

 

[HBK619]

Wait, it's not Lay-jer? I've been saying it wrong for years

LOL, the J is silent. So you say it like you would 'Layer' Lay-er'.

Any word on a new patch, to fix career freezing, as I've stopped playing until I can get passed the constant freezing. Was having fun with my Arsenal side but now I'm stuck during the 1st transfer window in the 3rd season while waiting for Hazard to reply to my contract offer.

There is a new patch out now, doesn't mention anything about the freezing (I have the same problem too) but of course it does recommend deleting your old saves and starting a new career which I don't really want to do as I was in my 3rd season.

Stability after purchasing players in Career Mode.

This sounds the closest to my problem, but seeing as I can't actually purchase players it doesn't seem to fix it. Funny that such a big title that barely changes year to year can have so many crashes and freezes.

I wasn't in the process of purchasing a player but I did try several times to get past Feb 2 2015 with no success.

Just tried it then with great success.

Hopefully yours is working now too!

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Any word on the update remedying the UT eternal red card glitch?

I want my Vermaelen back.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Hilarious.

Playing Seasons, I keep finding this guy who plays as Man City. It's laggy every time so I quit before 5 minutes (did it twice). Get a message: "reported for quitting". That's what the 5 minute rule is supposed to be used for, but anyway. I find him a 3rd time and think stuff it, I'll play him. 3 goals up after 32 minutes... he rage quits. Receive a message 2 minutes later: "ur a piece of shit"

felt good man

 

[kangle4]

It's a miracle. Updated my game and my career seems to be working again, all good so far.

Couldnt get past a certain date with it freezing when I tried to, since the update it went straight through.

Ea servers down?

Without checking, probably.

Patch fixed my problem so I'm back playing again. Signed Hazard and I'm very close to signing Gotze.

My Arsenal side
Szczesny(82)
Gibbs(82), Vermaelan(85), Hummels(88), Richards(83)
Ramsey(83), Gundogan (84)
Santi Cazorla (87)
Muniain(84), Neymar (90), Hazard(88)

Bench: Fabianski(81), Koscielny(84), Flanagan(73), Adryan(80),Miyiachi(76), Afobe(75), Chamakh(77)

Will move Cazorla back to LCM and put Gotze at CAM then Ramsey is bench cover along with Adryan. Don't really have anyone in my reserves that could challenge for a XI spot as they are all either young 65-75ovr or old 70-80ovr that are there for depth/future.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Did some good wheeling and dealing in the January window. Wanted to bring in some more defenders because I was low on them. Brought in Isaac Vorsah (79 rated 29 y.o. CB from Solzburg) and Terence Kongolo (77 rated 23 y.o. CB from Feyenoord). Those two were basically swaps for Dunk and Gama de Oliveira through different deals, but I don't mind as I feel like they both peaked anyway.

Then Dortmund approached me for Marcos Junior, I was a little hesitant at first but when they settled on a fee of $17.5 mill for a $12 mill player I couldn't say no! So out he went and with an extra 15 mill in the budget I looked up some classy CAMs/CFs. Merkel and Reus were both on the hit list but couldnt agree to terms. Eventually I signed... Philippe Coutinho! Absolute boss, 85 rated CAM, Brazilian, I think 25 y.o..... perfect. Got rid of some dead wood in Brunner (crappy FA but got 3 mill for him) and having a bit of money left over I signed Cristian Tello from Barcelona!! He's also young and is up to 80 overall - awesome fit.

Brighton is a 4 1/2 star team now

Tello is good but have a look at Viktor Fischer for LW, especially when you're starting out. Grows massively.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

If I was taking over Arsenal the first thing I'd do is get a replacement goalie

Maarten Stekelenburg has been good for me. Only rated 82, but he's the tallest goalie in the game which makes him undervalued.

Sceszny is utterly awful in this game.

 

[j0rdy1]

Get past one freeze and now I'm stuck on the 18th of august 2014. Might have to give up on the Arsenal treble ambitions.

Much like in real life.

I am in massive trouble with Cardiff, just can not win games and I always end up falling behind. Usually due to a lobbed ball into the box which they either score from, or cross and score. Bottom of the table Wolves scored 2 early ones at my home ground, yet then I play top of the table Chelsea and I had a 1-0 lead til they equalised late on.

I am into the FA Cup Semis thanks to a kind draw, I play United next though. Other Semi is Chelsea vs Swansea so it could be an all Welsh final.

I do have a big decision to make though as Newcastle offered me a job. They will just miss out on Europe but they have Ba, Ben Arfa, Muriel and David Luiz so it's very tempting. I am stalling because I don't want to just give up on Cardiff, I had dreams of Europe but I just do not see how I am going to improve with them. If I make the FA Cup Final then I should get a spot in Europe assuming Chelsea win the other semi. Beating United will be nigh on impossible though.

 

[HolyRioli]

Signed Josh Kennedy on a free as Leeds manager

Yes, I know, Leeds have too many strikers as it is, but his jumping / heading stats are just silly high, and could work out as a backup backup backup plan

 

[Gibbsy]

Just finished my second season (first full season) in the Prem with Brighton last night, finished 6th after a late push to try and get a Champions League spot. Team's coming along nicely, Romarinho and Lopez Cabrera are goalscoring machines - neither of them are pure strikers (RW and CM respectively) but they both play like it. 18 and 20 goals each for the season in the league alone. Coutinho is starting to score a few more as well now, which is good.

My objectives for next season are crazy though! Qualify for the Champions League as well as win at least one domestic cup. I'm hopefully going to upgrade the LB position in this transfer window too, nearly everyone in the starting XI has an above 80 rating now, glad I didn't take the job with Liverpool.

RoosterLad - I have heard some awesome things about Muriel so I'd seriously consider taking the job

 

[RoosterLad]

I lost to United in a heart breaker. Jordan Mutch, my CAM, decided not to renew his contract so I've been starting an Argentine youth player who is rated 72 just to see what he's like, turns out he could be a potential poor man's Messi. He scored a brilliant goal to give me the lead, then RVP came off the bench to score.

In Extra time they scored a scrappy one, then a late goal when I had everyone forward.

The thing is, I dominated. I don't understand how a bottom team can play like Barca yet I can have 15 shots to 3 and 60% possession vs United. If it wasn't for De Gea I would have won.

That gave me confidence to avoid relegation though, I managed to jump out of the zone briefly but then ran into City and Liverpool in my 3rd and 2nd last games respectively. Lost both of those so I had to better Sunderland's result on the last day, they were away to Everton while I hosted Reading who I was only ahead of on GD.

Thanks to the dodgiest penalty I've ever received, given away by their keeper, I won 1-0 and Sunderland could only manage a late equaliser so I survived. Now I hope the board don't sack me.

In the offseason I have the South American Cup, got a tough group with Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela.

Gibbsy Muriel scored two freakish goals against me earlier in the season. It is very tempting but this new Argentine CAM looks amazing, he finished the season rated 73 so a fair boost as he started around 68 I think.
