  1. Don't recall ever seeing so many upwards green arrows on a player before as that!
  2. That and the 4231 double DM system are the only two tactics that the AI seem to use. Dunno why SI would remove tactical systems from the AI.
  3. I know the feeling, similar thing happened to two of my star players at the end of my first season, both left on frees.
  4. Nice way to start my second season, winning 2-1 at the current Argentina Premier League champions in the Copa Argentina!
  5. I believe it was due to the average points over three seasons in play in the Argentine top flight. 19th place Lanus also went down first season. Boca finished 5th.
  6. Argentine Second Division Season 2023/24 Season 1 A rather decent start to the season going unbeaten in the league for the first 11 games before losing three in a row and four from the next six before we stabilised things after the freak 1-6 home defeat to Chaco For Ever. The draw after that game saw us go on a bit of a mad run registering 14 wins from the last 20 league games drawing four and losing just two. A remarkable run that saw us take second place on the final matchday after a resounding 4-2 away win at league champions Boca Juniors. A game we completely dominated from start to finish. Our best result and performance of the season easily. So into the play offs we went. There's a first round, second round, semi final stage which is two legs and then the final. Because we finished second in the league we enter the POs at the semi final point. A late winner from Estudiantes in the first leg saw them take a slender lead into the return leg but I wasn't overly concerned as I was confident we had it in us to turn it around. I called us going there and bagging three and we did just that, storming into a three goal lead before they pulled one back late on. The final, against Belgrano, the team that finished one place and three points behind us in the league was a tight game. We controlled the first half and should've taken a one goal lead into the break. Second half they were clearly the better side and we struggled. Two late goals saw us lose the final sadly. So yeah, second place! A fantastic season but slightly disappointed in the end to be so close to winning the league and then losing in the play off final to two late goals from Belgrano. A fantastic season from my striker Luis Vila with 25 goals in 30 matches. He didn't even start the campaign as first choice either! Lack of goals from the first choice striker and one of the other backups meant a chance opened up for Vila who took it with both hands and never looked back. Without his goals we'd have been much worse off and would've finished a good 10 places or so down the league. Not to say the other guys didn't have good seasons, clearly they did but this guy was immense. 15 clean sheets from 41 games in all competitions for my sweeper keeper, even registering two assists in the last two league games. Managed to tie him down to a new multi year contract mid way through the season. Pulled off some fantastic saves, a real star of the side. Both Vila and Vilar finished in the team of the year for the league. Youth Intake Currently being trained to play LW. Two footed player so he's versatile to play either wing which is a bonus. Producing in the youth side already with 15 goals from 24 games. Some really nice early development improvements from this guy. Love his team work, work rate and determination in particular.
  7. Finished my first season so will get the season report written and posted later but this was an incredible performance and result away to league champion Boca Juniors!
  8. There is no early access for the gamepass version. tbf, you can make a good argument that a bug such as players technicals not developing as they should, should be something that is flagged up at the QA stage and sorted before releasing the beta early. That's a shame.
  9. Two games into the season, a win and a draw and the players have come to me saying that I've lost the dressing room.
  10. Can't be much longer until the sub forum for the tournament is set up.. Usually around four weeks out.
  11. Saw that earlier, ridiculous. Going for the sympathy vote.
  12. Regardless of the % of people who use 3D over 2D I’d personally not buy the game anymore if they ever removed the 2D view.
