none of my guys is getting close to their full potential. have you guys got any advice? i think because the game has changed for ps4 where you have off season training, and im on ps3 and they dont have training so my guyd just arent developing.

except for mooy - i got him to 78.

Finally completed the Sextuple, as in Community Sheild, Europe Super Cup, League Cup, Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League on pro with Liverpool in my 6th season.

Was waiting to do that before going to WC but I'm going to miss my team.

Perhaps the saddest thing about this post is that I've done it from memory.

^^ This ^^

The step from pro to world class can be a tricky one - but if you alter the sliders a tiny bit (take the CPU's pace, passing and shooting down to 48-49, leave everything else as is) it levels things up a bit.

Got bored so I thought I'd turn on my ps4 for the first time in about a month.

Although I haven't played CM this Fifa played a ton of it in 15 so I thought I'd up the difficulty to legendary.

Ended up signing Mangala £10.5 Million & Kouyate £4.5 Million.

Decided to use Southampton, finished third in my group in that preseason cup & was knocked out of the Capital One Cup in the 2nd Round.

However I'm ten games into the EPL and I'm in 6th place on 17 points, going well defensively having only conceded two goals. But I've only scored 5 goals, in fact in all my games I haven't scored more than one goal in a game. :oops:

I realise it's a football game rather than a management simulation, but if you're going to put the mode on there, make it as good as you can.

- CPU doesn't get involved enough in the transfer market.
- Finances are too easy, even on the toughest setting.

And in general - I know there's a finite number of commentary options - but once you've played a dozen games it gets very very repetitive.

I'd be happy if they turned off the anecdotes and background info - and just made it straight commentary on the game and on previous fixtures, etc. I don't need to hear Alan Smith telling me that a lot of fans are excited about the upcoming Hull vs West Brom game... No supporter in the history of the game has ever been excited about Hull vs West Brom.

Just had a very dramatic end to my third season in my Spurs career mode. Beating Southampton on the last day thanks to a late goal from Ross Barkley as Arsenal draw with WBA to put us into 4th and finish above Arsenal for the first time since 1995. Team is now pretty great, brought in Bale for 48m + Townsend in January and have now added Pogba for 70m. Hoping to get back to challenging now, first season I came 4th and won the Capital One Cup, second season I won the FA Cup, made the CL final and finished 5th and this year I won the Capital One Cup and FA Cup as well as a 4th placed finish. Team now looks a bit like this.

GK: Lloris (Arrizabalaga)
RB: Walker (Yedlin and Trippier)
CB: Alderweireld and Vertonghen (Wimmer)
LB: Rose (Davies)
CM: Dier and Pogba (Dembele and Bentaleb)
RM: Bale (Douglas Costa)
AM: Alli (Barkley and Onomah)
LM: Eriksen (Grealish)
ST: Kane (Berahino)

Also have a bunch of good regens as squad players plus a few Spurs youth products who are still hanging around.

EA pay very little attention to things that don't involve/affect FUT unfortunately

i highly recommend changing the commentary language. so much better.

That might be a plan.

It's too easy to get money by buying and reselling free agents. 4k in wages for an 18yr old who you can sell after starting for 6 months for 1mil.

Something virtually impossible to do on FM :lol:

have you tried it yet? some of them are quality.


goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!

Tried Spanish for a game - actually turned the commentary off in the end. Have resorted to listening to podcasts/youtube in one ear, and game sound effects less commentary.

World class, only rule I've set is to not use the Bosman system...

5th, 5th, 6th (but won league cup), 4th, 6th...

Qualified for Champions Cup due to that 4th place in season 4 - finished 2nd in group stage to Real, then beat Barcelona, Real and Man Utd in knockout rounds, before an amazing night in Berlin vs Bayern Munich. Down to 10 men, and 2-1 down with 90 minutes gone - levelled with the last kick of the game, then scored twice in extra time to secure an epic 4-2 win... Best moment on FIFA... THEN sacked after performance review.

Trying very hard to play on at Leeds in the Championship - have already managed to sign two members of the Euro Cup squad, including Poulsen who scored a hattrick in Berlin... Aiming to piss the Championship, then go up and smash Sunderland for having the nerve to sack me.

just went to man city and epically won 2-4 and somehow joe hart picks up man of the match on a 9.3 after letting in 4 goals....


anyone know why my backline keep getting really low ratings? my defence is fairly solid. i consistently have the lowest goals conceded in the league.

i try no to use the defensive line other than to play the ball out - my fb's push high up in attack - my midfield does all the leg work. any ideas? its affecting my player development.

Have never been concerned by the ratings - I only use them to gauge how my players are doing against each other (is this central defender better than that one, where do I need to strengthen, etc.)

but it impacts upon their growth. the players that grow in stats are the ones that get good player ratings

Just started an Arsenal career mode, clearing out a shit ton of deadwood.

How do I get the most out of my youth scouts and youth academy?

buy really good scouts. that's it. wait until the bump month before you give them a contract - may or june? i cant remember which one.

i always send the best scout to australia. i want to win the world cup with them.

On my previous game I had spent a lot of time scouting, coaching, developing a group of young future stars - AM, DM, and LB... All looked likely to push into the first team at 19(ish), having had them since 15... Then I got the sack (first summer after winning the Euro League) and all three were gone. It's one of the reasons that I'm not even bothering with developing players this time - just trading up, player by player.

fair enough. im playing the long game with them. i recruit all australian and i manage the aus NT as well. we are going to win the 2022/2026 world cup. im currently in the asian qualifying for 2022. we have china, india and NZ in the group. seems legit.

ill put up my NT squad soon. mooy is captain on 78/79 playing as the deep defensive mid. sainsbury and leckie are starters. i dont think anyone else is from the real world NT.

If I had the patience...

Meanwhile, had a flyer of a run - in the Prem, played 9 - won 7 and drew 2, only conceded 1 goal in the 9 games... All going well but had to save the game and sleep. Went back the next day - first game up, lost 3-0 at Reading, second game 1-1 with Marseilles in the final group game in Euros, conceded a soft last kick goal. Now on a run of 2 draws and 2 defeats from 4 in the league and out of Europe. Bugger.

Anyone still playing in career mode on FIFA16... Central midfielder - Youri Tielemans. Thank me later.

I just bought a PS4 last night after all this time so bought Fifa16 and starting my career again which I'd been playing on PS3

See if I have any luck luring him to Adelaide United playing in League 2 aha

i picked him up. hasnt really hit it yet for me but he's rated pretty highly - high 80's.

where do you play him?

i did pull martin braithwaite to melbourne city when we promoted from league 2 to league 1. fucking gun striker. pacey, great dribbling, great finisher, good in the air. easy to spot from corners with his afro as well.

Braithwaite and/or Wissam Ben Yedder always seem to crop up when I'm ready to upgrade my forwards - but never seem to perform as well as my trusty Yussuf Poulsen. Poulsen tends to be a bit clumsy in his first season, but after that becomes a gun. I always seem to buy Marco Sau early on as well. Only a 73-75 player, but nippy and effective. Double your money when you sell him after a year too.
