My injury woes continue in my first season. Pogba is now ruled out for 3 months.

That means players who have missed over four weeks with injury in my first season with 12 games left to play are:

Luis

Dave

Costa

Salah

Terry

Pogba

Drogba

Next season with European football to play I'm definitely going to need a large squad, hopefully my young English signings all improve. I'm giving Conner Whickham decent playing time to try and improve him, he's got about six goals already.

Ross Barkley is a decent player, feels better than his 78 rating.

I lost the League Cup final to Manchester City, they scored with their first attack after just three minutes but then their keeper played a Worldie and despite about 9 shots on target I couldn't find an equalizer.

I smashed West Ham 4-0 in the next game and that made me feel a bit better.

Currently six points clear at the top of the league but with a tricky run of fixtures coming up.

Wait, what are you doing with all those amazing youth players out on loan? Give the kids a chance!

My Chelsea career has been pretty unimpressive so far. Played 9, won 3, drawn 3 and lost 3.

Lets hope Roman likes me.

Ok what router have you got?

BT

Virgin

Sky

Either way type router setting then sky/bt/virgin into google and click on the link it gives.

This will take you to your router settings, you will need to log in and your passowrd is shown on the back of your router.

When you log in go to settings or advanced settings and look for something caleld "Upnp" this will be switched on....turn this off and save.

Then you will be lag free.

Finally got round to doing this and it worked! Thank you RFC!

I created a virtual pro for career mode yesterday. And was delighted to see that you can alter the free kick and penalty run up. Also the default celebration.

Nice one. Hopefully next year it will be as in depth as Pro Evos editor

No worries Gem, it makes some difference! I should have probably left mine as I'm terrible in seasons lol

Got my online working too. Three wins and a loss.

The loss was to Real who as I suspected take no skill to play as too much pace in their attacking players means Ronaldo can glide past Ivan even with the ball at his feet.

Nothing you can do against route one balls over the top because of the amount of pace, I might need to set up the team to play deep next time.

Defending in general is is very hard online with the double up feature much less effective now.

Yes and that was my main defence tactic in 13, frustrating.

I have 6 losses and ALL were when I quit because of my lag which is annoying.

I see online you can get the xbox one, 2 controllers and fifa 15 for 349. I might bite when that goes below 300.

I go ultra defensive and counter attacking when playing against Real or Barca...works a treat.

If you stick to the default team tactics you will end up being taken apart due to their pace if you aint mastered the defending (which I can't).

Pure rage with FIFA 15 this weekend.

 

Doing career mode, losing to lowly Villa 2-1. Took Oscar off and brought on Schurrle. 90th minute, ball fell to Schurrle 25 yards out. I thought "f**k it", and took a shot. Hit the postage stamp and managed to secure the draw! I celebrated like I won the Champions League or summat.

 

Up until that point I was cursing fluently. I must have hit the post/bar about 10 times. Clearly my accuracy when aiming a shot is lacking!

Your flat mate must think you are a right geek!

Sitting 3rd in the table with Hull mid-december, Jelavic on 10 goals already.

Bought Ronaldo for £85 million lol

Sold Remy for £25 million to Bayern and Hazard (not Eden) to Barca for £18 million...he had never kicked a ball for me lol. Cech went for £20 million to Dortmund which was a good deal but left me short in keeper department as Schwartz retired with Drogba.

Got sales for Moses, Van Ginkel, Atsu and Marin which built up my kitty.

Brought in a young GK and Striker who were rated as potential world class players. Cant remember names off hand...striker began with a 'Z' though.

----------Courtois----------

Ivanovic-----Cahill-----Varne------Alaba

----------Pogba-----Cesc--------

Bale-----------Hazard--------Ronaldo

---------------Costa-----------

Subs -

Striker (Z)

Keeper

Terry

Luis

Azpi

Matic

Sterling

Oscar

Piazon is there too and is 81 rated so will develop him some more.

Took the Scotland job to make it a bit different this season and played two QF's beat Turkey 1-0 away and won at home 2-0 to Denmark.

Probably lacking in the striking department if Costa gets an injury but no more money to spend unless I sell in Jan.

Bale Hazard Ronaldo.. I'd say that's lacking in the striking department.

Ha yeah I know what you mean but I like an out and out striker!

I could play Ronaldo if costa is injured long term.

Hope Ronnie keeps at his current level for 2 or 3 seasons as he's 30 now.

How can people play the games in career mode?! It's boring playing against the computer. I sim pretty much every game apart from finals, etc.

The injury curse continues, barely 5 games into the new season and Hazard is out for 3 months and Costa has been ruled out for 2 months. 

 

I think I sold too many players because with those two injuries I'm a little short on cover already... My own fault really because I sold Willian, Moses, Salah and Remy.

 

I bought Bale for £72m and he's pretty nifty. 

 

Bought Zlatan for sh*ts and giggles mainly. 

 

Varane's signed too meaning I'm well covered defensively. 

 

Got T. Hazard out on a short loan because he's already rated 79 and I think he can progress quite quickly. 

 

I kept van Ginkel after his loan spell to try and develop him in the cup games, Conner Whickham is developing nicely, already up to 78 rating from the 74 when I signed him and he scored a hat trick in the league cup against Watford. 

 

Full team/squad excluding youth players is currently

 

Cech/Butland

 

Ivan/Dave

Subatic/Cahill

Terry/Varane

Luis/Shaw

 

Matic/Pogba

Ramires/Fabregas/van Ginkel

 

Bale/Schurrle

Oscar

Hazard

 

Costa/Ibra/Whickham

Hardly played Fifa this year (due to being at uni and having ps3) but when I did/do play it, I used to love to play Pro clubs the most

That is by far the best game mode on Fifa for me and they don't even have it on PS3 

 

FUT is good when friends aren't online but since everybody now buy their coins, I really can't be bothered with it

 

Career mode gets very tedious for me. I play it at the beginning of Fifa to get used to the gameplay and so on but playing on World Class / Legendary can get really boring. I change the settings for this to 5 min per half to save time.

 

It's all down to preference though so play what you enjoy peeps

Butland was ridiculous on 14. I bought him at 74 rating. And a few years down the line he was 90+.

I've just finished my first season with my pro last night. I thought all was lost when we were 2pts behind Liverpool in the league and then went on a run of poor form.

Somehow we saved it and went on to win. Beating United and Liverpool in the process.

The next season I've been loaned out to Brighton which is nice as they're very local to me. About half an hours drive and it'd be cool to try and push them for promotion.

Currently a 76 rated Right Midfielder.

Sim games? Eurgh. This aint football manager, I actually want to control the players. Playing against people is predictable, I find the computer quite a nice challenge.

Same.

At least the computer doesnt resort to lofted balls every 2 mins to cheat a goal.

Online play is brutal against folk who just don't want to play football but rather abuse the lofted ball.

JT is out for 6 months on mine which leaves me with Ivanovic, Cahill, Zouma, Dave and Luis. One of my defenders always seems to be picking up little niggles - probably from playing every game.

I've got no transfer money left, I can get Varne for £16m. Tempted to ask the board for money but you have to agree to win the league and cup so don't want to risk getting sacked. I'm playing it on a hard level so I'm scrapping 4th at the minute.

Currently I play pro clubs most.. we're already in Divison 6 with 10 points out of 7 games, 3 games to and we need 6 points for promotion, will be tough.

 

Haven't played FUT in a week or so, will buy 2000 FIFA Points at some point which will amount to 20 Premium Gold Packs so I'll probably get back into FUT then,

 

I like career mode even though it can get boring if you play it too much, I play about 2 hours and on 2 - 3 days a week, find that's a good balance between Pro Clubs and Career, Fut.

 

Last night played with Hull against table-leaders Chelsea at the bridge, and goddamn, as soon as I saw that Chelsea blue kit, I thought, sh*t, should've chosen Chelsea to manage. I know the team is insanely good and if I do get the chance to manage Chelsea I'll probably take it, will have to notch the difficulty up to Legendary then though, as I'm 4th with Hull mid-january.

Little help? (again).

I've tried to log into to EA network server but it's coming up with this error message: 'an update to this title is required before you can access any online features'. I've checked system updates and everything is up-to-date so I have no idea what it means. Google ha proved fruitless too, perhaps some Shed Enders can shed (ha) some light?

Thanks all!
