I'm hoping that someone can help me with a problem i'm having with Rooney. Bit of background - i'm managing moneybags Man City, having played several games plying my trade in the lower leagues. I'm in January, season 2013/14 and i've built a very strong squad, as you'd expect with that much...

Its difficult,a s i know very little about your players, so my recommendations are based on the assumption that you have the players to perform these roles effectively: Try using a control or even a counter attacking strategy. Try making your pitch bigger and going more direct with your...

I'll PM you to see if I can help.

I tend to underuse the communication side of the game. When i look at other managers (within my game) and view their opinions about me, i only tend to see 3 or 4 examples which are middle of the road, e.g. feels you could become friends etc. I was wondering whethere anyone has developed a...

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Cheers for the tip. I'll have to do a bit more experimenting I guess. I usually find the individual players settings/roles fairly straight forward. Its the team ones that undo me. I struggle to get the right balance between closing down and standing off. In my mind i'd probably prefer a 'Rigid'...

Thanks Guys Pistolped - I tend to let fate decide who i manage if i want a real challenge by tossing a coin!. At the moment i'm managing QPR and i'm only in my first season but its going well - top of the league in Feb, clear of 3rd by 8 points and in the 5th round of the FA cup having beaten...

Thanks - that was plan B! Its frustrating and a little dissappointing that this feature isn't available. I'm sure i'm not the only one who'd like to see how a player has improved over a reasonable period of time. Anyway, thanks for the answer.

I'm hoping someone can answer a question is have... I'm aware that on the training screen there's a facility to look at changes to attributes over the last 12 months, but is there any way to have a longer term view? I'm 4 years into a game and i've spent a lot of time and energy developing...

I'm just starting my Third season at city. My approach so far has been: 1st Season - Finished 4th, Semi Final of the FA Cup (lost to United on pens after being 4-0 down at half time and bringing it back to 4-4!), Winners of the Uefa Cup All prices are an estimate/from memory. Any marked with...

Suprised i haven't seen the name already... Carlos Kameni. Signed him for Man City and he's been my number 1 for the last 2 years. Outstanding and available for maybe 5m.
