I so freakin' want that 85 Candreva card.

Pure filth.

Pure filth.

NSFW material right there.
Kinda thinking about building a team with Doumbia.

That Doumbia card looks insane. Maybe run some type of Ivory Coast hybrid?

Yup. Kinda thought about this option:

Lahm is too slow IMO. Put Piszcek in and have Smalling and Butland instead of Mustafi and Cech.

Team update: The front 3 of this team is just beyond words to describe of how OP they are. They have all the attributes of what you want in an attacker.

Just made some calculations. Found out that I can't afford the team anyway.

However, I built a quite sweaty Bundesliga squad I could afford:

Not bad weekend. Should have been a 40/40 but choked on pens in both games.

Damn son, good work.

Have you found it any harder to score lately? I have but I think the coding is different between FUT and career mode.

FUT is much more fast pace than career mode imo and my goals come mostly from defensive error by my opponents.

So I got FIFA 17 today, I am a bit of a noob when it comes this I have played FIFA before but the last game I owned was the 2010 World Cup edition, and that was a bit before the Ultimate team started, so I have no idea where even to begin with that.

I'm still just learning the controls for now and doing the skills challenges, which I'm enjoying.

I'm on the PS4, user name is jameskent86451. 👍

I'm typically doing career modes offline but if I see you online I'll give you a shout.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

How do you accept loan offers in player career mode?
Whenever I press X to accept its it goes to Stall??

 

[88GTA]

I don't typically do the player career mode but in regular career mode, there is a list of three options; Stall, Accept and Reject. I would highlight the one I wanted and then hit X:

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I do that but then when I press back to exit it goes back to stall, it doesn't seem to stay on accept or reject, I've started it at Man United (obviously!), I play as a CAM and Jose has put me on the loan list.

I've also started FUT, its been quite patchy so far, I was winning games and coins at the start but suddenly I'm losing...

 

[88GTA]

@lxmmy Would be the one to ask for any FUT questions. I haven't played that feature and I never even started The Journey.

The next career mode I'm starting is a 92 team Super League in England. I'm choosing a random Gold player card from futhead and whatever team the player is on, I record it in a spreadsheet. I then get the team's overall rating from sofifa and put the teams in order with the highest ratings in the Premier League to lowest ratings in League One. I have moved the entire MLS into League Two so the four lowest rated teams randomly picked from futhead finish out that division. Finally, I will draw a number of 1-24 and whichever number comes out, I have to be the team in alphabetical order which matches that for League Two.

Try and get as many gold players in your team and chemistry is key to how your players react in game so higher the chemistry, the better.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So I'm just playing career mode right now, with both the manager and the player version, going through the levels to unlock stuff in the catalogue, so I can get loan players and coin pack for my FUT, which isn't too bad really, got some decent players in there, is there a better/faster way to do this??

 

[lxmmy]

My packs last week....

 

[HighSeasHoMastr]

So the player training feature in the career mode is really broken for keepers...

 

[88GTA]

I think it has been that way since they (re)introduced player training in FIFA 16 but yes, keepers are my way to get around the transfer budgets being broken. When you bring a League 2 side into the Premier League and they give you $15 million in transfer budget for the year, you have to find other ways to make money.

Find any decent youth academy keeper or free agent goalie and train them for half a season. Then sell them as soon as you can for profit. Most times my entire weekly training is all goalies because I don't want to stunt the growth of any great potential young players. The only other guys I train are team icons who have stopped growing naturally because they are in their mid-to-late 20s.
