Question for those that play career mode - How important are the stars for scouts?

Scouts refresh every 2-4 weeks for me, should I wait until one with 5 star judgement and experience comes up or hire one now with worse stars?

Online pro seasons, playing with my mate and we went 2-0 down pretty early.
We got one back when a cpu player kicked a goal for us just before half time.
After the break we got another one and then I step up and get the winner in the 85th minute with a driven shot from outside the box.
A 3-2 win which is hard with online pro's because it's so laggy.

Honestly, the best players I've scouted have come from 3 star scouts. Every 5&5 star scout I've ever had has brought me peanuts.

Also, never buy that "Scout Future Star" thing from the EA Shop - complete ripoff.

PSN is LethalWarrior93 if anyone wants a game.

Edit: Don't bother, my connection is woeful, literally can't play an online game with it freezing every 3 seconds.

I'm up to Div 1 now after breezing through Div 2. I struggled with Div 3 by getting promotion but not the title.
Div 2 though... I went through 8-1-0 I played an extra match for some reason after I already won the title.
Didn't start any games in Div 1 but I was on fire tonight. Record currently 53-9-5

Anyone on PS3 want to add me or need someone to join their online Pro Club
PSN: Separovich

Would prefer to join a league with people from Aus and even better Bigfooty!

I tried career mode but playing the computer makes me want to poke my eyeballs out, just can't stand the way it plays.

Wanted to rekindle my love for this extremely buggy game so I wiped absolutely everything from my PS3 (game data utility plus all saves) and am starting a new.

Funnily enough, I'm having great fun. Started up a career with my boys the Victory using updated rosters (the A-League is so much better now all the players are in it), and also my first ever time playing on World Class. First game was an away match at Brisbane and I won 1-0 with an Archie Thompson goal in the 14th min What I like about World Class difficulty is the AI don't play like idiots. I really had to work hard for that win and my goal was under threat the entire time. 8 shots apiece, but Brisbane had 59% possession with 91% pass accuracy. Nathan Coe in goal was inspired, awesome reflexes, made 10 saves for me.

I'll be trading in NBA 2K13 too. Played it once on release day and haven't played since. As buggy as FIFA is, I love it to bits.

Does anyone else have the problem of the game constantly freezing in Career mode? It is driving me crazy and so frustrating when you spend ages building a team to get to a point where the game doesnt even load anymore.

I see quite a bit about it on Google and a few online petitions, but no response from EA.

 

[Xtreme]

Have not played this in a while, ran Origin and it downloaded an updated (also downloaded something for BF 3, of which i also havn't touched albeit it 6 weeks longer than i have not played fifa 13). Must get into it again soon.

Found this on another site as an idea to spruce up career mode, bit of a challenge.

Challenge Name: Journey to the Top

Team(s): Any 0.5* or 1* team.

Aim of the Challenge: To become the manager of a major European footballing team; Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, AC Milan or Bayern Munich

Rules of the Challenge: This is a journeyman career, and as such you are not allowed to stay at any one club for longer than one season until you reach one o the teams listed above.

I'm starting with 1-star Aldershot Town in League 2. I think one of the most interesting things is how to approach transfer windows as I won't really get much time to develop players. For that reason it's unlikely I'll touch the youth system either.

Having only 325,000 pounds to throw around in this opening window I have to be pretty frugal. The team isn't great, but the most important thing to get for me is a striker with a bit of pace and strength. I stumbled across who I think will be a hidden gem, 62 rated Kang Soo Il, 24 y.o ST with 88 acceleration, 87 sprint speed, 82 jumping and 75 strength. Plus 66 ball control, 67 dribbling, 4 star skills and 3 star weak foot.

Got him for 245,000 - bargain

Just started my second season with Leeds. Won the Championship, but then I got to play Europa qualifying games..? Since when does a promoted side get to qualify for Europa? Does this happen in real life? I qualified anyway

Well my side is as followed:
Lauro 68 Pearce 74 Lees 73 Peltier 71
Austin 75
White 74 Garcia 72
Barkley 75
Becchio 74 Kruse 73

Got Barkley on loan from Everton in my first season, and he dominated, so I had to buy him once I was promoted. Only 19! Great option for a CAM. Cost 6.5 million though. Becchio was golden boot winner in Championship, quality finisher, but is 29, so I'm going have to cash in soon. Kruse, yes thats robbie (the aussie), bought him as I needed another striker, has done well, but cant see him going up to much.
Centre back pairing in Pearce and Lees is great. Pretty sure there about 20-21 years of age, so great growth still in them. White is a jet! Has 90+ sprint speed and acceleration, solid starter. Garcia only just bought from Madrid, looks the goods too. Youth is the way I've gone, considering how old the side is when you start with them.

Online pro clubs is pretty awesome, me and some mates have a team and I think we're up to Div 4.
My player is a 85 rated striker.
Came across EBUS and his crew, he got disconnected but my team ended up winning 2-1 after two late goals

Did you win the FA or League cup? If so that is why, the winner of those get a European spot.

"The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League, and the sixth and seventh-placed teams can also qualify, depending on the winners and runners-up of the two domestic cup competitions. Two Europa League places are reserved for the winner of each of the domestic cup competitions; if the winner of the FA Cup qualifies for the Champions League, then that place will go to the runner-up, and if the runner-up is also already qualified, then that place will go to the next-best placed finisher in the Premier League. If the winner of the League Cup has already qualified, that place goes to the next-best placed team in the league."

Chelsea probably finished top 4 or something so the spot went to the runner up?

Quite likely.

So I cheated midway through my 3rd season with WSW's and used one of the EASFC point things to get myself an International Manager offer. Got Australia!

Haven't started with them as of yet, but it's interesting to see the squad available in the year 2015.

Can't wait to have a game or two with them.

Ahh, I see now.

You didn't get any previous offers? I had offers from a few countires including Australia when I was no further than the start of my 2nd season with Victory. Has new updates changed it a bit?
