Finally won the Premier League and the Champions League with Chelsea. Beat Man United 5-0 with 3 Games to go to put me 5 points clear with 3 Games left. Beat City who were Second 3-2 in the 90th Minute to basically secure the Title. End of the Season I had offers from Club Brugge, Lazio, Juventus and Real Madrid. I'd done 4 Seasons with Chelsea and thought the time was up, despite having put together a really good Squad. I took up the offer from Real Madrid, and immediately started clearing out there Squad, which was full of 60/70's in the Reserves. I brought in Neymar for £50,000,000 and Balotelli for £34,000,000. I then Signed Aturo Vidal for £22,000,000 to play the holding role and Markus Henriksen for £25,000,000 to sit next to him and be my Alonso. I then managed to get a 5* Scout for £9,000,000. Beat Barcelona over 2 Legs in the Spanish SuperCup, and am already running away with the League. I had a few Injuries to Defenders, and with my lack in depth had to give up my 14 Game winning streak to 20th place Santander via a forfeit, which I was gutted about. Current Squad; GK: Casillas LB: L. Caldirola CB: S. M'Bia CB: T. Vermaelen RB: Sergio Ramos LDM: A. Vidal RDM: M. Henriksen LAM: Cristiano Ronaldo CAM: C. Eriksen RAM: Neymar ST: M. Balotelli Subs: 1. K. Benzema 2. E. Cambiasso 3. S. Kagawa 4. Sergio Canales 5. Javi Chavez 6. Pedro Leon 7. L. Diarra Finished my 7th Season (first with Real Madrid). It looked a promising Season until I got severely hampered with injuries. Neymar was ruled out for 7 months, Balotelli was out for 4 months, and I had a lot of suspensions and other injuries to cope with. I knocked out my old side Chelsea in the Champions League before going out in the Quarters to Bayern Munich. This was pretty much down to the fact I had to play 3/4 Youth Players. I then lost the Copa Del Rey Final 2-0 to Mallorca which was even more depressing. I still won La Liga, but I was about 15 points clear for most of the Season, and after getting knocked out of Europe and losing the Copa Del Rey it was a bit of a sour end with little to celebrate. I got offered the City job and another chance to head back to Lazio which was tempting, but I needed a good Season with Real Madrid as this one was hampered due to the lack of depth in the Squad. So I stayed on and with a £109,000,000 Transfer Kitty started straight away at adding to the Squad. I let Pedro Leon and Raul Albiol go for about £15million for the pair as all they did was moan, and Roma came in with a £25,500,000 offer for Kagawa which I couldn't really turn down. I needed a good ball Player and a big name in the centre of the park so signed Cesc Fabregas for £35,000,000. I brought in Eden Hazard for £39,500,000 to replace Kagawa for extra depth, and strengthened the back line by signing Mats Hummels for £22,000,000. With not long to go left in the Window I pulled out one more huge Transfer, and landed Gerard Pique from Barcelona for £21,000,000, on a massive £290,000 a week deal. I'm never a fan of Signing 'obvious' Players on the Game, but I spent 4 years at Chelsea putting together a good, young, realistic Squad, and looking at the Players for Sale there wasn't many other good Players that were still young that I hadn't already Signed. Plus, with me being at the 'peak' of my Managerial Career at Real Madrid, and after being hampered by the lack of depth last Season, the time was right to make sure the job gets done this Season. I've got two 5* Scouts who have brought in a load of good young Players too so the Future is also looking good. Current Squad now looks like this; GK: Casillas LB: L. Caldirola CB: G. Pique CB: M. Hummels RB: Sergio Ramos LDM: C. Eriksen RDM: C. Fabregas LAM: Cristiano Ronaldo CAM: Neymar RAM: E. Hazard ST: M. Balotelli Subs: 1. K. Benzema 2. A. Vidal 3. M. Henriksen 4. T. Vermaelen 5. S. M'Bia 6. J. Santoso 7. Concencaio Finished my 8th Season (Second with Real Madrid). Won the League, Copa Del Rey and the Champions League in a solid Season. Beat my old team Chelsea 1-0 at the San Siro in the Champions League Final which I was most happy with. Didn't lose in the League but lost a few Games in Europe, would like to go completely unbeaten. Only job offers I got was the usual Man City, PSV, Sporting Lisbon etc. Nothing was really tempting so stayed at Real Madrid, as I had a Team that was pretty special. Had something silly like £128million in the bank. Brought in Lloris who was a 90 for £23,500,000 as Casillas is about 38 and down to an 84. Also Signed the Brazilian CAM Lucas who's an 89 for £44,000,000. Other than that I left it how it is, but just focused on my Youth Squad a lot more. Fabian Torres is looking my most promising now being a 64 at 16 so high hopes for him. I've got about 6/7 Players now who are above 60 and aged 16/17. The likes of Ronaldo, Fabregas, Casillas and Pique are all starting to drop in Stats now, so after this Year I may end up having a few transitional Seasons just playing the Yotuh Payers every Game until they reach there Potential. Started this Season already, won my first 18 in a Row before losing in the Champions League Groups to Stade Rennes. |

Just finished probably the most hectic season i have ever had on a career mode with Porto.
Started the season off selling a few players, The most important one, João Moutinho, Who i sold to AC Milan for £31 Million. With all the money i got from selling players i brought in: Elm from AZ Alkmaar (£6 Million), Belhanda from Montpellier (£19 Million), Cristian Tello from Barcelona B (£700,000) & Gomis from Lyon (£21.5 Million). The team looked sorted, I done well in pre season and beat Benfica 2-1 on the opening day of the season but then, It went down hill.
My main player, Hulk, Demanded to leave immediately. I got offers from Man City & Madrid but i decided just to see what happens and try and keep him. The game after i lost 5-1. The team didnt perform and Hulk wasnt his usual self. However, I tried to keep him and play him and hopefully he'd change his mind but it never happened. The board sold him for £23 Million which left me with £40 Million on deadline day to try and replace him. After many people rejected my offers i ended up getting Ben Arfa for £12 Million.
I thought that now all this Hulk talk is over the team will start playing good again, However that wasnt the case. I lost most of my games leading up to January and the man who i brought to fill Hulk's boots, Was injured for pretty much the whole season. Gomis just didnt perform, He was quite honestly shit. He scored his first goal in December which wasnt good enough for someone i expected to score week in week out. Tello on the other hand was brilliant. When i played him he always seemed to score and and was an all round great player so i started to play him instead of Gomis.
January came & this was the time when the team turned itself around. I sold Gomis to Liverpool for £18 Million and a couple more strikers and midfielders to get me up to around £50 Million. I decided to bid on Cavani, who was an 87, for £32 Million which they accepted. With a couple of hours left i tried to find another right winger since Ben Arfa was always injured and Iturbe wasnt doing to great. I found a couple who i had in mind so first i decided to bid on Robben but like earlier on in the season Bayern didnt want to sell him. Then deadline day ended so i was stuck with Iturbe and Ben Arfa.
However, It wasnt to bad. Since Ben Arfa was still injured i decided to play Iturbe and he just became brilliant. All the way up to May he was playing top class. After months past and the results were getting better i got myself up to 4th, which is better then my 11th in January. Cavani was just top class ending up my top scorer with 11.
At the end of the season the only real offers that caught my eye were going to Sao Paulo or Vasca da Gama. I'd never been to Brazil in any career mode i have ever done on Fifa but i really wanted to see how this Porto side would do this season. However i jumped to Sao Paulo as it would be a change and a test since i have no clue how Liga do Brazil works. I know a couple of players from Sao Paulo and i could sell Lucas on for a lot but i plan on keeping him, For now, Im not to sure on what transfers im going to make.

The goals are tiny in it! Seems to be much less skill involved too imo, I do agree Mike it is fun but quite hard.

www.ea.com/uk/football/euro12Theres the link. Unsure over the decision to be DLC. I liked the World Cup game, it was something different. But it does mean we don't need to splash out the cash on another game. It depends whats in the game, how cheap they go. It will be worth it for me if Wales are included in the "over 50 European national teams".

Theres 2 ways of looking at it:
Good: Cheaper than a full game and shows they are gonna be spending more time on FIFA 13
Bad: £15 for new kits and stadiums, there will be no gameplay changes unlike past World Cup/Euro games and its only the finals, not qualification aswell
Overall it was always going to an ask to have FIFA 12, FIFA Street, FIFA 13 and a Euro game in a 12 month period, so DLC makes sense, plus they will actually make more money from it.
What I would like to see is a discount for the people that brought the EA Season Ticket but that probably wont happen

Think its good in DLC, I wouldn't have bought it if it was £40 (especially as the Euro 08 game was awful), but I will get it now.

Yeh I think I will pass but I think its a cracking idea and is certainly showing that we are heading to downloadable games as a standard.
Less costs, quicker release and etc
This is what I would like to see, instead of a new FIFA every year ... There is one every 2 years ... But you you join a VIP club or something for £2.99 a month, for that you get constant updated stuff ... Like new boots for your pro, updated kits, names, etc etc etc
That way you reduce the chances of a less buggy game

Whos playing FIFA Street?
I just won my first tourney on the European stage. I enjoy it, but hate online; no one uses tricks or plays remotely as EA intended. I've also found that the gap between Medium and Hard difficulty is steep - I've done all the individual games in World Tour on hard, but can only do the Tournaments on medium. I can't even go back to stage one and do that tournament on hard, which is a massive pain because I really want my team's crest on its kit. My team is pretty strong and balanced atm, so its frustrating.
If anyone wants to add me and play or help eachother for trophies (I know I want the one for winning every game mode online, but I hate online as explained above) my PSN is in my sig (play properly though, don't pass it around just like its FIFA 12 with no beats or pannas).

Been working wonders with Newcastle recently. Started off a Career Mode with them as fancied a bit of a challenge. In my first season, I took them to the Premier League title. Only lost four games in the whole season (4-2 at home to Arsenal, 3-2 at home to West Brom, 3-1 away to Liverpool and 2-1 away to Chelsea), and was hammering goals in left right and centre. Signed Daniel Carrico from Sporting for £6 million, Granit Xhaka from Basel for £6.5 million, Hugo Mallo from Celta Vigo for £7.5 million, Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad for £13.5 million, Nelson Oliveira from Benfica for £7.5 million and Isaac Cuenca on loan from Barcelona. Oliveira ended up with 41 goals in the league for the season. Sold Steven Taylor to Fulham for £8 million, Ben Arfa to Liverpool for £14.5 million and loads of other low rated players. In January I bought in Jan Vertonghan from Ajax for £12.5 million, Sofiane Fegouhli from Valencia for £10.5 million, Rodrigo from Benfica for £12.5 million and Ricky Van Wolfswinkel from Sporting for £13 million. Coloccini was fed up with the weather (yes, you read that correctly) and was forced to sell him. Ended up going to Chelsea (makes sense, right?!) for £9 million. Demba Ba was also not happy, and sold him to Tottenham for £28 million.
Went out of the F.A. Cup in the Semi-Final after losing 4-3. Came back from 3-0 down to go level at 3-3, before Rooney scored late on. Went out the League Cup in the Quarter Final after losing 1-0 at home to Arsenal.
Just started my second season now. Signed Lorenzo Insigne from Napoli for £14.5 million and Dusan Tadic from FC Gronigen for £15.5 million. Been given an absolute piss take of a Champions League group; Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.

Whos playing FIFA Street? Yeah its a decent game, but possibly a little repetitve. It doesn't have that play it again and again factor that Fifa 12 has for me. It might be because I don't play online. I'm on the European stage. I can kind of play on hard but can't do the tourneys on medium. I think playing the demo helped alot since it leveled up my players to level 5 already. Adding the "real players" are pointless, you can't change their attributes or their clothing. Been playing more on Fifa 12. My challenge to take a League 2 side to the Prem is going well. The Shrews just finished 7th, one point outside the play-off spots in their first season in the Championship. Got a pitiful budget to spend in the new season. Going to sell a player I bought on a free last year to get just over a mil to spend. Might spend it on a top player but it will more likley go into the youth academy. Last season got a wicked GK 58 rated and got a 60 rated striker to call up. |

WTF is this?  Gavin Belth seriously? Really makes me question whether I'm going to spend 15 quid on this now. I was pretty willing to just give them the money when this was announced but a fake Wales team (they look nothing like the players), no qualifying (loved that in WC2010 game) and the bad reviews its getting makes me question whether I'll buy it. |

Yeah...they used to do this with the Dutch team a few years back, just replace Belth with Bale and everyone else and it'll be like normal. |
