german_wunderkind Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Winter update second season: Going good, but the other teams have figured out a way to cause me more problems and my guys struggle to use their chances. Dortmund bought Di María from Real at the start of the season and alongside Götze and Kagawa he has been very good. Looks much like the real life BVB, I like the challenge!

german_wunderkind Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Just went out of the cup... Damn they have to score more often! Köln seems slightly overpowered to me. They caused major problems last year and went to the Champions League! now they are still in the Euro League after being third in a strong group with Barca, Shakthar and Sporting Lisbon.

quaazi Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 To lose to a Podolski goal... painful... I basically play the same as you, lots of shots but few goals. I guess you can make the choice between fielding reliable goal-scores or playmakers. The former score you goals, the latter create you the chances. I prefer the latter, so I am bound to score a few through sheer saturation alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraftwerk Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Got a Bayern save going at the moment. Into season 2013/14, won the league every year so far.

I now have two promising Welsh lads in the Bayern under 19 squad.Images shortly. Nice addition, I don't benefit in Germany though I let Emre Can go at the end of season two, because he wasn't progressing fast enough and there was enough talent coming through the youth intakes for his position(s). Additionally he has decided for Turkey like all those double-nationality youngsters cause the Germany squad is greyed out again on mine. Don't know why this happened. I transfered the save from my laptop onto the computer, but both had the files deleted and so before I started the game, strange... He plays for Bursaspor now.

Kyle Seddon Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 March/April 2012 Update: Results: In the met recent (3) games, i have played youth players, mainly, Can Markoutz and a few regens. The game against Hertha was probably due to the fact i played 7 players from u-23 and u-19 but it will be invaluable experience to them all. Can has already improved a few stats by playing the last three games from the beginning. Will try my best to get him to his potential, but he is a hard one. German League Table: Very happy with my performance, will look at strengthening over the Summer, notably, Goetze, Hummels and possibly a few younger players and regens too. Had intended on sticking with just German players, but think i may branch out into Austria, Turkey and Wales too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olic was signed after his contract had expired, since he wanted way too much before. But he has me and Bayern on his favorites so I could sign him again, as a tutor. I tried to get Hummels and Götze, but they wanted €54mil for Hummels and €176mil (!!!) for Götze! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first season i got Tymoschuk and Gustavo to tutor him, in that order. Next i plan Schweinsteiger to tutor him and see how he gets on. Looking good though. Had him in a previous Chelsea save and he just rotted away, try not to let that happen this time round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quaazi Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hmh, what I found out is that my coaches seem to think that Can is not progressing well in training because he has a part-time contract. So I gave him a full-time contract. I'm a slow player, so I can't tell you what effect it had just yet, but it's defo something to think about. Also, CSKA seems to underperform against Bayern - I beat them 7-0 in Moscow (though they didn't have Akinfeev)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered him a new contract from day 1 so i was unaware of his part time contract, interesting. Either way, performing really well for me, after his goal against CSKA he got on the scoresheet in the next game and should have been man of the match again had it not been for Olic, who scored a hatrick for me in that game. Markoutz is also progressing well: Taking up to much space in this thread so just posting at half season intervals. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
