FIFA 12

You should give yourself a high-five.

Turan is better than Valencia for me. Even his crossing seems to be better, despite Valencia having the trait.

Newcastle is going to be fun to play with next year.

They already are but they will be even better. I transferred Cisse to them and he and Ba up top are deadly.

Just download the update, he goes there. Newcastle also have quite a few players who get a boost.

In my CM I've gone on a run of winning my last 23 league games. 11 points clear, if I win my next two games and Barcelona win their next two I win the league with three games spare.

Strong triple post...

I won the league, I had to pick up a 4 points in my last 5 games (if Barca won all of theirs), we both win, so a point in my last four but they played before I did and drew so I won the league. Anti-climax or what...

Fuck it, waited a few hours, no one posted so here's my fourth post in a row.

Torino are bottom...

I play him up top on his own, he had Turan, Valencia and Diego all assisting him. They had like 35 assists between them, nearly all of them for him.

Lavezzi has more goals than Cavani for me.

Won all the 13 games I've played online in Euro 2012. Won two trophies

I picked France to start a tournament..decided I didn't want to be them and even though I'd played no games it said I lost the tournament

It would be nice if I could play Euro 2012.

Can you not get Spanish commentary on this game? Shambles.

Playing my first online Euro tournemant. I'm using Belgium, drew with Portugal 3-3. Then I came up against England, twice. The first player was beating me but got disconnected, so I got the three points. Then the second time I faced England, it was a different user, I got disconnected. Still went through.

Played Spain in the QF. I scored when I intercepted a pass and went one on one. He scored twice. In the 80th minute I scored again and pressed for the winner, it never came so into ET. Scored a cracking goal with Hazard (his third of the night) right at the start of ET and went through. He sent me a message saying "your so lucky. next time i'll dastroy u".

So Soldado wants to leave.

Replacement?

Thinking one of; Ba, Torres, Llorente, Gomis, Negredo or Matavz

Ba.

No, not Ba. He's so injury prone. When I was Newcastle he had a 3 month injury each season. I signed him in a Juve CM and the same happened.

you guys should try Anzhi online, great team. they're 3.5 stars but i've tried them and after you change their keeper, their left back, and their winger, they play like a 4.5 star team. apart from their CAM, all their players are rated 71+. their standout players are Etoo (87), roberto carlos (79), zhirkov (81), gabulov (GK, 77), boussoufa (LM, 82), and they have a pacey RM with 90+ acc/speed (carcela-gonzalez). both their DM's also have long shooting as their preferred move

play 4-2-3-1
Gabulov(GK,77)
Angbwa(RB,71) Jucilei(CB,74) JoaoCarlos(CB,73) Zhirkov(LB,81)
Ahmedov(74,CDM), RobertoCarlos(79,CDM)
Carcela-Gonzalez(74,RW), Lakhiyalov(69,CAM), Boussoufa(82,LW)
Eto'o(87,ST)

easily at least a 4 star team/borderline 4.5 star team even though the game has them at 3 stars

if you're playing with the winter update, they have chris samba too (rated 79)

i've beaten madrid with them and i was at decent win streak

Ended up getting Llorente and Gignac because it was deadline day so everyone else was asking for stupid amounts of money.

Got back to a bit of online, finally got the grip with Ajax again winning some big ones and almost throwing them away as well, meanwhile i haven't been able to get out of the group stage in the euro 2012 game online yet, Belgium & Denmark failed with, but its so laggy online that i havent tried any more, cameras keep bugging too for loading and highlights.

Just played a guy on H2H Seasons. I literally wanted to injure all his players. He would just boot the ball upfield for Ronaldo, and if he got it, he would just do roulette after roulette. So annoying.

3 Serie A games left, 11 points clear of 2nd place Juventus, Fiorentina currently occupy 3rd.

Europa League semi final second leg next, hopefully progress to the final. The 2nd leg performance against Newcastle in the quarters was one of my best imo.

Started a new Career Mode with Borussia Dortmund. Lewandowski is ruthless. I've never seen a more efficient striker in the game. Gundogan, Bender and Kagawa are also quality. Gotze hasn't really done it for me though. His shooting and finishing is really poor.

I want to do a new CM with Arsenal.. sim through a season.. get Podolski, M'Vila [?], then another rumored signing..

Ribery even!

Whenever you sim a season I notice almost always at least one of your star players are unhappy and want to leave.

Staying with Napoli for at least another season. Best alternative option was a return to Spurs, minus Lennon and Modric.

He went nuts at the start of the season with Fiorentina. They were my main title challengers for at least half the season.

Thought they were going to bottle 3rd place toward the end of the season, but my win against Milan let them back in. Insigne's goal against them was class.

Valencia injured for 3 months. My right side is lacking now. Having to play Viera out there, much more rounded player than Salvio atm.

In my 4rd season with Birmingham now, 3rd season in the Prem. My current team is:

-----------------Butland------------------
Spector---Mariappa---Caldwell---Murphy
-Redmond--Mutch---Gomis/King--Usami
-----------Rooney------Xisco/Sordell

Try to rotate reasonably too, got Stanislas as cover for Redmond and Sordell for the strikers who is really good.

Promoted some youth to the first team, my best youngster is 18-year-old striker Jordan Saunders, scored one and assisted one on his Prem debut, rated 62. Really short for a striker, good dribbler and finisher though.

Another gem is still in my youth team, 15-year-old CB Harry Tunnicliffe who's rated between 68 and 72 . Potential is 84-90 as well. The thing I love most about him is that he's quite fast (72 sprint speed) and seems to have decent ball-playing skills too. Some of his defensive stats are insane, marking is 79 and standing tackle is 79-91. I might promote him as soon as he turns 16.
