Got back-to-back promotions with Shrewsbury, getting from League 2 to the Championship in two seasons. Finished with 105 points in League 1

After winning an expected promotion with QPR i finished 3rd in my first year back in the Premier League!

This is fantastic! Would love a 2.Bundesliga pack if possible.

I especailly enjoy the "Fouls" statistic. Terry & Co. clearly got frustrated!

The reason why you can't ask your playmaker to make risky passes is because a playmaker already has that as a natural instruction. The same reason why you for example cant ask a defensive midfielder with a defensive duty to stay in position. So when you pick a player for a playmaker role, he...

Got a tactic related question. I'm playing quite well with my 4-2-3-1 "deep", when using a control setting. But when I try playing it with "counter" and playing narrow, lower tempo and more direct passing I play terrible. Do you guys play control home and away with same instructions if that is...

Yes, as I said, playing with Madrid is not what this game is all about, but the first save is only to get a good look at the game. I just don't think critising SI to the extent some users in here are doing is fair. Last year, just after the release, the match enginge was terrible, it really was...

Reading a few pages on this thread just shows you how much this game means to football fans. Is the game perfect only a week after the release? No, and you shouldn't expect it. I'm in my first save and playing with Real Madrid. I know, being in charge of Madrid is not a big challenge, but as...

Signed Fredrico Laurito (free transfer) for my AFC Wimbledon side. Scored 30-40 goals consistently and was the main reason for my three consecutive promotions. Also signed Ciaran Clark (£4 mill) to QPR and he was really solid at centre back. Voted player of the year by the fans three seasons...

Has any team in real life lately been able to replicate Barca's style of play?

Lovely

Hmm, then it might be up to poor management (not by you) and that they allow you to use too much money for your wage budget/transfers. I know that has happened to other users managing Liverpool, and you probably have to look at lowering your wage budget until you get improved sponsor deals.

5 games then! No worries!

Did they post a loss of 1 million after you got prize money and renewed sponsor deals as well ?

This post right here... tells you everything you need to know about why this is the greatest game ever!!
