Player potential rating. In what game modes does this number apply? Career only?

Only player/manager mode.

I would find my form on a Sunday night. Missed the division 1 title by one game this afternoon. You have to win at least 7/10, it's tough. Good start to this season in D1 though. If there is a God, my opponent was a Mexican



Eta: my team is obviously stacked but this formation is so so so money. 4-3-1-2 with fullback instructions to always overlap, I've been dominating since I switched from 4-4-2


Current squad: again, stacked as hell, but I wasn't dominating until I switched formation and tactics. That 7-0 result was in division 1 on FUT and I very rarely use skill moves

I'm playing for shits and gigs at this point. assuming there's an overhaul of the game engine(which despite negative Nancy's I think there will be) I'm just going to wait until September to start improving my own play. plus the pre order bonus for FUT is actually pretty substantial this go around


one of my college roommates interned for EA while we lived together and according to one of his buddies he's still close with, this will be the biggest engine/dynamics change since 13 or 14. so even if it's not "better" I don't want to get to set in my bad habits just because it'll be "different"

This scripting in career mode is fricking insane. I'm about to flip the frick out went from 8 wins in a row in all competitions to 2 draws and 2 L's in my last four with only 3 goals.

Scripting bullshite got me again today.

In the league im back to my usual form but in Europa i played all youth players and won my group going unbeaten. I get to my round of 32 match. I lost the first leg 3-2 on the road no big deal with two away goal. Get at the home leg game gets tied 1-1 and thats when all the bullshite happens. Phantom fouls, my passes going backwards when they are supposed to go forward. Hitting the post over and over. All my guys who played were in good form from the youth team. So I was like frick it, ill play this one again. The exact same shite happens. Game ends up at 1-1 and the same bullshite happens.

So, Mr. P, I was thinking about doing a Marseille career mode because I've never played extensively in France, and I don't want to go the "build up a lower-division team" route again. (Plus, I'm a sucker for real stadiums.)

I want some house rules to make it challenging and reflect Marseille's current state heading into the 2016-17 season. I was thinking about transfer listing every player Marseille has sold IRL so far and taking the first offer that came for them. Turn down the transfer funds from sales setting down to the hardest one so that it reflects the fire sale status. (I'm not just selling players to rack up money for equal replacements.)

Basically, I'd build through a youth system and try to find good value buys that Marseille would make. Outside of France, where do their players usually come from? What countries and leagues should I focus on the most?

I'm also going to do a strict play one, sim one career (or maybe sim even more) to make sure I don't play too far above my team's actual rating.

The goal would be to challenge PSG for Ligue 1 titles and, eventually, a Champions League title, even with the restrictive transfer percentages. (Because you can't change those in-game, I don't think.) Perhaps the ultimate goal would be to get a Champions League title before PSG gets one.

What do you think?

Sounds good to me. Outside of France (which is a heavy majority of the team), I would look at Belgium, Netherlands, and Portugal foremost in Europe for OM targets. Then in the bigger leagues like Germany, Spain, and England, I would look for French and African players who failed to make an impact at their clubs. I would also scout Argentina.

I finally bought an Xbox One, thanks to Prime Day. I've been playing FIFA 16 on xbox 360 for almost a year now, and have voiced several complaints about how awful the through ball passing is. I bought FIFA 16 for Xbox One, and I figured the game would be pretty much the same. Wrong. It's like a completely different game! Through balls are MUCH more effective and accurate in online seasons play. It's also much harder to score from shots at the top of the 18, and easy to score on near side shots when close to the goalie. It's a much more enjoyable game than the xbox 360 version. It's obvious Microsoft neglected the 360 version...

I started playing Seasons the other day and quickly got up to Division 5. So far, I can beat any team with BVB. They're so good for H2H.

So a little update on my Lautern career mode. Finished 2nd in the league, in our second year back in the first division.

I ended up turning a nice little profit on Coman as atletico matched my 35 million pound counter offer when at first they only offered 22 million. Sold some older players and brought in Rode and Alli.

My youth players are getting loads of playing time now. Started off the season slow bc of so much turn over but now at the winter break im in the top four again. Finished 3rd in my champions league group tho.

Now as the winter window rolls around im in some crazy drama. One of my youth players who is at 75 rating right now but has 92 potential at 20 years old is causing issues. His form at the end of last year was awful and started the year bad. He's gotten better the last month. But now comes the shite ive never seen before. He just singed a new deal and 4 months later ask for a new deal. Nothing crazy ive seen it before. He then turns down the new contract. Ok ive seen that before. I go to the squad report and it says he feels too big for the club.

I'm like wtf. So I decide to offer him another contract extension. He says yea gaffer I will stay at the club. Once the window opens about half way through it he puts in a transfer request. His value is a 8 million but ive already turned down offers of 11 and 10 from Koln and Schalke. I'm going to turn into a Sterling type situation. I won't sell unless its way above market value. My board has said we need to let him go. Hopefully they don't sell him behind my back which FIFA is known for doing. He's still part of my squad with 3 days left in the window. I going to hold him hostage.

But with all this going on ive made some serious moves in the getting players on frees. Sami Khedira is coming home to Germany from Juve on a free. So next year my midfield three with be him, Alli and Rode.

In the ultimate pull David Alaba is leaving Juve(which he always seems to end up at) on a free as well. So if I end up selling him later I will make bank.

But back to my youth player drama this was the top story during all of this after he said he would stay. Ive never seen some shite like this in all my years playing fifa.

Mother fricker already acting like he Neymar and shite
