I gave BAL a final chance by enabling the Play as Professional perk and gave our own national superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic a shot, which was quite fun. Though it didn't last for more than half a season.

Instead, I found myself playing - and liking - the Master League. I have detested from that crap since 2008 but for some reason, it's a lot more fun this year.

MY BAL

For my BAL I chose the speed demon option, lining it with power to create a fast accurate striker, it worked out for the most part in my first years but has encountered some issues as my years progress.

The game play is fun ( minus some less than stellar decision making from teammates) and the extra perks and scenarios in BAL really make you feel like a part of the experience.

The only issue I seem to have is the growth system, which seems to peak far too early and is relatively useless.

I have made 3 BAL characters and all have peaked early, i average a rating of 7.5 a game and have become a leading character in my teams attacking plays. I single handedly gave my country the copa america scoring 7 goals in 4 games and I have played trained to play both CF as well as winger.

Despite all this I seem to be getting no offers, my overall rating has merely risen 4 points in 3 seasons, and the six training points I have allocated to my speed have given me 0 growth in speed, top speed, dribble speed or acceleration in 3 seasons. I have become the leading goalscorer for my current team so my manager has decided to start playing me as an attacking midfielder where I get a overall rating of 28 in the position.

suffice to say the game is fun, but its being ruined by the details, I am even contemplating possibly lowering the difficulty to regular to see if better displays gain me more positives.

If you train on something other than speed you will get a faster increase in your overall stats. Work on the things you aren't already good at.

Damn i'm shocked i didn't get called up for the WC. Don't get it i have played for like 3 seasons with the NT being the undisputed striker scoring in almost every game WTF!! But i got over it as i am only 20 and more WC will come. The other thing bothering me is that coaches always changes to 4-5-1 WTF konami why would something like that occure in the game it is getting me pretty angry being the lonely striker. I am like 84 overall and in my 5th season 21 years at Sevilla. I leaved spurs for them because i wanted to play CL i think if you dont play CL you wont get many offers from top clubs. Just made my debut in the CL scoring the only and winning goal against inter. A tip for the guys here work on your body balance as it gives you more time to think while your not being struggling to stay up.

Hi, my BaL started in Eredivisie league
im play as Second Striker in De Graafschap.. my shirt number is 9
things doesnt get well, until i learned new position as CF :p but still the manager of the team mainly keep set my position as SS (on the left).
on 2nd season i was appointed as captain of the team :) and I lead my Team as winner of UEFA champion league :laugh:
I get UEFA football player award & World's Year Football award at age 19th :)
then on early 3rd season I got offered from FC Barcelona.. ^^ and luckily got number 10 as my shirt number, because Messi has gone n played in Chelsea..hehe..

Hey guys! Here's my story;

Also, does anyone know what use are the other, more expensive agents? (apart from the ability to supplying better offers)

if im not wrong, with more expensive agents, now you can have an option to choose your 'desired club',if you do..then your agents will make a contact & negotiate with your desired club..
im currently using the agent from france :happy:

Gave up on my CF. He had 86 overall after nearly 3 seasons and then he stopped developing. Now I've started with a new All-Rounder AMF with some awesome stats(Almost done with the first season)

Had to redo player creation at least 25 times to get these stats.His short pass was 95 when I started.

just ended 3rd season last night... got appointed to become a captain for FC Barcelona on the next season..
im really exciting for the transfer window..hehe, got an offer from Napoli, AC Milan & Real Madrid FC.. :)
AC Milan is one of my desired club, but I think I'll pass those offers... because I want to get my chance playing in UEFA Super Cup & International Cup :happy:
ohh..forgot to mention, Real Madrid in my 4th season, really got a buch of amazing superstar players.. they bought messi, rooney & C.Ronaldo (last season CR7 was playing in bayern munchen). So now the team is a really superstar team..they have ibramovic, messi, rooney, C.Ronaldo & Kaka. what a team! :shocking:
I wonder if I accept those offer from Real Madrid, then I will become one of the superstars...haha..:D
I love BaL so muchh...:laugh:

But on some occasion, the AI of BAL can be quite ridiculous. Take for example one season i was playing for AZ in year 2012, i noticed almost the entire Barcelona team was beyond recognition. Imagine them selling top player like Ineista, Xavi & Pique and replacing them was some really sub-standard player of avg rating around 70 (no offence though). And can you really imagine players like Torres play for Fulham...no joke...(sorry, again no offence to Fulham fans,but i cant help it)
But on second thought, nothing is impossible in soccer. who would have thought of Sunderland beating Chelsea 3 - 0 at their Stamford Bridge???

i remember those times when i was playing Football manager, and how people cried fouls of their beloved teams get beaten up by the lower teams. now they should get it...

hehe..yup, I get your point... ;) sometime i also get shocked when some top players move to some team that in real life it barely will happen :p
but, hey...that's AI..we can't hope to much & expect that the transfer window of the players run like we want to be.. :p

My first time using BAL.. Created a Welsh left footed side back (predominantly left side), signed for West Ham, about 10 league games in and having played roughly half of these, I've managed to grab an assist or two, a man of the match performance and I've just gained some level of trust from my team mates.. Statistically I'm not progressing as much as I'de like, averaged about a 6.3 rating and the team are battling it out for Europa League place. I don't suppose with this current trend anyone can guess if/when I'll be called up to the national team?

really starting to get stuck into this mode now im loving it although a couple of things are really grinding my gears lol nearly finished my first season with parma its been hard with the formation they play, up top by myself getting some really crap service having to do alot of running but still getting my fair share of goals but most games are really hard fought and always end up 1 nil.

ok now things that are bothering me slightly.

1. whats with the inability of the AI never giving you a lobbed through ball?
2. no matter how good or bad the oppistion is they always pass better defend better keep possesion better?
3. my starting rating was 71 when i started and getting to the end of the season im 73 rated now is this normail?

I am loving BAL as well. It makes me laugh a bit to see people as world player of the year in third season as 19 year old. Scoring more goals than games and just making things way too easy and ridiculous for themselves.

I am trying to take it a bit slower and keep things realistic. I started out as a lowly 65 as a well rounded box to box American center mid. Still waiting for a great US option file, so some teams are still defualt. Started in the PES League with Mrabspor and realistically had to play almost half my season out of position at SMF while i built up skills before i could be the starting CM fulltime. Halfway through the season i got called up for the US national team friendlies. ended first season with a run to the semis of Europa, and second in the league. Scored 15 goals and had 13 assists in all competitions.

At the end of the season I was made the captain of the team, and was planning on staying another season there given the team and manager confidence in me. However, in the summer transfer window, manager signed 2 CM and 1 AMF, all with better overall ratings than myself. I took this as an affront, and decided that i would not realistically be playing in this situation, so moved on to FC Twente in the Eredivisie on double my starting wages. Halfway through my second season and first with Twente, I am up to 69 overall as an 18 year old, which is perfectly fine with me. I am hoping to get really good (80 or above) by the time i'm 24 or so. Consistent national team call-ups given the relatively poor stats for America. Hope to play in all of the leagues in the game at one point or another and take my time with teams for added realism as no one really jumps to a new team every season. Cant wait to get home and play some more.

I'm trying to get into it... but its hard. I'm at Newcastle. They play sooooooooo defensively. The wingers are useless, faff about on the ball all the time, so slow. Whenever the manager decides to change to 2 up front, he'll put Barton up there, then take me off!!

PLease tell me it gets better?
 

Ali

It is happening again
Seems like i killed this thread. Anyway, I'll give an update. After 1 full season at Newcastle, I decided to sign a contract at Udinese, after the Newcastle coach inexplicably decided to change a decent (winning) formation to a more defensive one, leaving me up front on my own, with little support... and it doesn't help that I'm quite short!

A few things are annoying me. Like I mentioned earlier, the wingers mess about on the ball, don't pass it soon enough. Plus, it seems to be programmed in that a player must take a shot when he enters the box, even if there are other players in miles better positions.

Another thing is the fact that playing a give and go is useless, because it controls the run for you!
