FIFA 12

I just fiddle around with the sliders a bit until I get something that's enjoyable.

CL semi final, Madrid-Arsenal.

Madrid beat me 3-1 in the first leg. Canales scored a ridiculous goal to give them the lead in the second at the Emirates. I come from behind to get to 3-1 up, game's heading for extra time when Canales cuts inside and hits the post. The ball then hits Szchezny's back and goes in.

Won a domestic treble then moved to PSG.

Deadline day over. Pastoré wanted to leave, sold to Madrid for £52.5m. Kagawa IN.

Also bought in Trapp (free agent, German keeper), Clyne, Coates, Didac, Nigel De Jong, Sandro, Chamberlain, some free agent LM, David Suazo (free agent, 37 years old ) and Luuk De Jong.

For a 37 year old, he's surprisingly good. Well he's quick, and scored on his debut.

Admit it, you lol'd when you submitted the bid.

It was at a period when I had no money, and no strikers apart from Gameiro.

He'll probably hardly play now I got De Jong with left over funds after signing Kagawa.

That's a sensible acquisition then.

I was laughing because he's dropped off the face of the earth in real life.

Surprised he hadn't retired. Was a free agent for at least a season.

Here's my Sociedad team, near the end of season 2.


I've been pretty unlucky as Bravo and Demidov both handed in transfer requests. Also Griezmann and Vela have had long term injuries and Griezmann has only just returned. Benat was a great signing, Castaignos is only on loan but he's been awful. I just can't score with him, although he's pretty useful sometimes. Vela's scoring for fun until he got injured and I've been playing shit since. It's game 26 and I've gone from 5th to 8th. Ah well!

Started a Career with Arsenal:

IN:
Jordi Alba (£12.5m)

OUT:
Marouanne Chamakh (£5.5m)
Nickolas Bendter (£9m)
Gervinho (£22.5m)
Abou Diaby (£5.5m)
Johan Djourou (Year Loan)

INJURIES:
Kieran Gibbs (6 weeks)

RESULTS:
Newcastle 0 - 2 Arsenal (Frimpong, Oxlade-Chamberlain)
Arsenal 5 - 0 Liverpool (Van Persie x3, Miyaichi, Ramsey)

CURRENT LINEUP:

Jenkinson, Frimpong, Miyaichi. Srs?

Started a save as Monchengladach, unbeaten in the opening 10 games. Reus is some super human or some shit, he scored a hat-trick against Bayern on the opening day from 3 shots all game. He's scored 13 in 10 and is my top assister with 5. I kept him up front, beastly. I line-up with:


I sold the shitty below 60 overall players and loaned out a few unneeded players. Was forced to sell starter Neustadter so that's who Ozdoev replaced. I went for Rybus but he wanted to stay in Poland so brought in Kerim Frei from Fulham. Signed some CB from Sweden as back-up. Leckie is 10 overall less than De Camarago but is so much better, faster and has all the same assests as him, height, power and heading ability. And Ozdoev isn't as good as Marx but he's just as good and younger. I'm basing this save on youth atm so have set up a scouting system with the remaining budget.

I've already beater, Bayern, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Schalke, Hamburg, Leverkusen and Hoffenheim. The other beaten teams are more relegation teams.

I'm a futuristic builder, I take good youth players and develop them

I had 2 seasons at Arsenal. I thought Miyaichi was fucking shite.

Chamberlain is fantastic though.

I replaced Miyaichi with Ayew on deadline day

Also got Hummels and Abate

Think I ended with


I would have bought in a new defender because Tasci originally came in as cover for Lescott, who's 34 and injured loads.

I sold Szenney to Sunderland for 22 million about Joe Hart

I had to buy him back.

What's a poor team in a Poor League with only one divsion (Except Ireland) and that can qualify for Europe?

Rangers.

Been playing a lot of 3.5* games lately. Been using Ecuador and went on a pretty good run getting to div 2. I've been matched up in my last 2 games against Anzhi and Eto'o is fucking unplayable. What is a good tactic to stop players like him?

Started a Norwich career. Thought it would be fun to replicate their good first season, as 90% of the time they get relegated when they're controlled by the computer. Hoolahan demanded a transfer request though. Completely stupid he helps his club get promoted then leaves it .

Might start a Celta Vigo CM.

Started a Career Mode with FC Koln just because I wanted to play with Podolski (in my opinion the best player in the game). I completed the season with Podolski scoring 30 goals in the league and met both the league objective (I finished tenth and they asked me to finish in mid-table) and the cup objective (quarter-final) despite the team being utter, fucking dogshit. I had decided that I would leave Koln at the end of the season because they were frankly appalling and would hopefully take Podolski with me to a decent Europa League team. As the season ended, I was alerted that I had a bunch of contracts that I should renew. But I had already decided that I was leaving and having met both objectives, I was confident that I'd get a good offer from a decent team. So I decided that it wasn't worth my time to renew contracts. Fast forward a month and a half and I'm looking at a bunch of absolutely piss poor offers. They were so bad, in fact, that the best club there was Wolves. Fucking Wolves. Of course, I had no option but to leave Koln because I'd decimated the club by letting half a dozen players leave the club for free. So I reluctantly went to Wolves. I had no intention of staying at Wolves or even playing with them because they're an abomination of a football club. I decided to sim every game in order to end the nightmare as quickly as possible. The season went pretty well as I finished twelfth and successfully met the objective of finishing in mid-table. I got another reputation boost and was hoping that things would be different this time around when the offers came by. I was right, things were different. Different in the sense that I didn't even get a team as good as Wolves as they were all significantly worse than the shower of shit that I had gotten the season before. I subsequently rage quit and deleted the file.

Your unrealistic career mode is so interesting Danny!

I got to the UCL final with Bologna in my second season and somehow my manager rep went down, even though I surpassed all expectations. My best offer was Saint-Étienne.

It's not my fault I joined Arsenal in season 6 and they've signed the likes of Aguero and Silva and let their whole defence leave.

That's ridiculous.

Danny, what board difficulty do you have it on?
