    In the January window I purchased LB Mossa (62) for 80k, and arranged loans for CM Leonardo Capezzi (63) and CM Christian Norgaard (66).

    These adds should bolster my stretch run as I go for a top 7 finish so that I can compete for promotion. I'm currently 12th, 8 points behind number 7 which is the last spot that plays in the promotion playoff.

Goalkeeper never had a chance to defend it.

    Congrats! I'm still searching for the first goal.

    Does anyone else have a problem with Fifa 13 loosing connection to the EA servers? So far each match I've played it has lost the connection both times at half time.

    Then while doing the skill challenges it lost it again.

    Ok, anyone had this problem?

    I'm playing my career mode 1st game York City vs Cam it's 2-2 in the 73rd min and the game just completely freezes. Entire PS3 is locked up...

    Never. There were some issues last year with using Creation Center and freezing. Are you using downloaded clubs?

    I'm not sure if I'm using downloaded clubs. I started a career and picked "play as pro". I'm using York City and selected Jason Walker as my player, then it asked me if I wanted to download the current rosters, I said yes and started playing.

    Not sure if this answers the question...

    From what you said, you're not. Creation Center is like Teambuilder in NCAA. People create clubs and you download them from the net.

    I've reached 8th place in League 2 with under ten matches remaining in the season. I'm 3 points out of a promotion playoff spot (4-7) which would achieve my goal and, hopefully, get me a better job for next year.

    I finally pulled into 7th place in npower League 2. This is crucial because, with just a few matches remaining, 4th through 7th place will enter the promotion playoff at season's end. Clubs 1-3 are automatically promoted and are joined by the playoff winner. My contract goal is to fight for promotion so it's vital that I finish no worse than 7th.

    No, but I am still in League 2 and I failed to meet my goals in Houston. I shouldn't expect to get any offer yet. I'm going to need to gain promotion this year at Port Vale to start boosting me resume.

    I was wondering if your nationality matters with rears to offers (eg us means USA team?). I suspect it doesn't matter but I was just curious. I still haven't picked up the game because I have been doing so much work the past month I just haven't had a second of free time. I love reading the I pressing though. Keep it up bro!

    According to the devs, the nationality does matter. I'm guessing you get slight favoritism from your homeland like you do your alma mater in NCAA.

    My created manager, like last year, is Dominic Kinnear. He is the real manager of Houston Dynamo so that's why I use him. He is Scottish, so that is what I have him set to. We'll see how it plays out.

    Speaking of MLS did they add anything to it this year? As compared to aeuoropean immersion, MLS WAS REALLY LACKING LAST YEAR. DURING SEASON PASS I was having a blast with Celtic becuase of all the extras.

    No, they did not. MLS is still just the US Open Cup and league matches.

    I just got offered the job at Wolverhampton (I did not apply, they contacted me) and I jumped st the opportunity.

    The move takes me from League 2 to the the npower Championship League, so it's quite a jump. Wolves are currently 5-9-2 (24 points) and are sitting in 9th in the table. They were eliminated in Round 2 of the Capital One Cup by Arsenal, 2-1 and have not yet entered the FA Cup.

    My career record is 39-17-28 in 84 matches and my salary jumped from 8k per week to 21k per week. I was 27-9-13 in parts of 2 seasons at Port Vale after going 12-8-15 in my season in Houston. My goal at Wolves is to fight for promotion (finish in top 6).

    After a season at Houston, two half-seasons at Port Vale, and about half a season at Wolverhampton, on February 15, 2014, I accepted the job as the manager of the national team of Ecuador.

    International Football, here I come!

    Today, I finished up the 13/14 season. Of course, I spent the second half of the year at Wolverhampton with the goal of fighting for promotion. I failed as Wolves finished eighth. Fortunately, I was retained for the 14/15 season but my new goal is to flat out gain promotion.

    That said, I retooled portions of the roster in July and early in August. I sold a few, bought a few, and have loans going in both directions. As a result, I have bolstered my forward situation and have gone to a 4-4-2 Diamond Wide formation so I can, essentially, get 3 strikers on the pitch (one as a CAM).

    I posted a 14-6-11 mark at Wolverhampton last season. My career record is now 53-23-39.

    Ecuador did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup, so I was only a spectator as France won the title.

    So did you get to play any intl games for qualifying or do you only get to play if your team makes the World Cup?

    So far, I've only played Friendlys. The World Cup qualifying was done, with Ecuador eliminated, before I got the job.
