Can any of you guys with the game answer a BAL question for me? Is it possible to sign with a club in the Other leagues Europe instead of being forced to select from one of the leagues in game?

Ligue 1
Eredivisie
Premiere League
Serie A
Primera Division
Other teams <-------- This one.

The "other teams" have no league system and if you'd sign for them, you'd end up playing like 5-6 games a season.

No, you can't sign for those teams. You can put a team from that category into an existing league if you really want the chance to play for them though.

AI hasn't gotten smarter, it just gangs up on you more so they can tackle you and prevent you from breaking throught.

Anyways, I am not sure if this is going to be only for the first few seasons or something like that, but why in the heavens is the growth of my abilities so slow? Jeez.. in PES 2010 I could literally get 20% progression from one match if I did really, really, really, really, really good, but now the progression just stays at like 2%-5% each game.

Anyone knows whether u can get Starcards this time?(except the one(s) from the start) Learn them from time to time maybe?

Other than that, the BAL is far better than before, except the AI. My playmates are often dumb as hell, especially when they clear the ball to corner, although there is enough space.
The startegyexplanation and the short messages from the captain are always the same and useless in my opinion.
But well, great game

Only played two BAL games so far as an English Attacking Mid (playing for Sporting Gijon). and tbh im glad they got shot of the Boring training sessions as they felt more of a chore after a while.

You can train them. Takes a number of weeks, depending on how many points you put into it.

It's in the Personal Data (or something) > Training menu.

I trained PK Taker right away, since trying to take PKs without the Skill Card is hard as hell.

Thanks for that Ravex! That's what I meant by signing for "other teams", meaning put one or two of those clubs in a custom league.

Cheers!

Yea i kno, i meant the Cards with the Star, know what i mean? The ones u couldnt get in 10. Luckily you get one from the start, i wanted to have a star so badly in 10

Could someone please explain to me how finances work? My gross assets are €24.900 and my salary is €5.300. My expenses are €1.700 (taxes etc.) + €1.300 (living expenses etc.) + €200 (agent's salary) = 3.200. Shouldn't my net assets be €24.900 + (€5.300 - €3.200) = €27.000?
Why are my net assets only €26.800? Where did the last €200 go?

Edit: In the next month I earned €2.000 after expenses, while I earned €1.900 in the month I talked about above. It seems like there are some hidden expenses.

glad this section is back. always liked BAL, even with its flaws, like your team mates not being great, but it is still quite immersive.

Quick qeustion if anyone could help: I suppose the jog bug is evident in BAL as well? if so, does it take alot away from the game or not?

Hello

Regarding the individual awards, can anyone tell if we get to know, at the end of the season :

* the player of the year
* the best XI of the league/cup/worldcup

I found very frustrating not to know who's the player of the year (when it's not you of course), and also when named in the best XI, not knowing who are the others 10 players.

Thanks

There is a best XI of the league in BAL. I know since I was in it in my first season :lol:

 

[nicmollet]

@billward : thanks, but can you know who are the other 10 players in the best XI ?

 

[billward]

@billward : thanks, but can you know who are the other 10 players in the best XI ?

That's a good question. I'm not sure. You might be able to see tit between seasons. I'm half way through my second season and can't see any best XI.

 

[nicmollet]

Thanks bill, that's what I was thinking.
This kind of features is missing.

I started a player career with Fifa11 and made up with a comparison table between the 2 games (I love tables).

See :
https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub...M05aa2lkV2E2ZnVvc3hFTkdkYkE&hl=en&output=html

Fifa11 player career is really good but not being able to play with your national team is really a bad point.

 

[billward]

How do you re-add a club to your desired clubs, or whatever it's called. I cannot add a club once I've added them and then deleted them.

 

[billward]

I can now confirm that you can see the best XI between seasons. The FA cup just ended and I was selected in the best XI and I was able to see the other 10. But as soon as a new season starts you can't see the best XI anymore.

 

[nicmollet]

Thank you Bill, that's a nice addition.

I hope it's the same for the "World player of the Year".

I've made it into my second season as a striker. I signed on for a Dutch team (Heracles). They were also playing in Europa League. They were in the same group as Liverpool. We actually managed to win our group, but lost to a French team in the first knockout round. We finished 5th in my first season. When the transfer window opened I managed to get a contract offer from A.C. Milan, but I turned them down, since I only had a 10% chance of playing.

Bolton made me an offer I couldn't refuse. They were the perfect team. They played offensive possession football and used a 4-4-2 formation. After a few matches (where we managed to beat Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea) the manager changed the formation to a 4-3-2-1 :crymore: Has anyone experienced that the manager suddenly changes the formation?

I surely hopes someone will buy me in January, because otherwise I have to be at Bolton for a whole season before I can leave them. I can't afford a better agent until after the transfer windows has closed

It doesnt matter the opportunity percentage...believe me

I started as EDUARDO...second striker from ghana...started my carrer with 70 overall, with 86 dribbling speed and accuracy (i liked that a lot)

offered a contract from s.s. lazio and i accepted because other teams were just shit

played 22 matches with lazio...3 goals and 2 assists...also with ghana played 3 friendlies where i just made 1 assist...and i was surprised that at the end of the season i got a contract offer from manchester united!

i accepted because lazio at that time ended the season at 15th place...and manchester united ended 2nd in premier league...so i accepted...but they just gonna give me a 10% opportunities...

anyway i went there...took number 10 because rooney left the team...i was pissed by that...

i played the 3 starting matches as a substitute...but got 7.0 in all 3 matches...so when i thought im gonna go as a substitute in 4th match...they got me in the starting 11...im so happy...

right now im 74 overall...gonna take some photos of the stats for you guys to see them



if a good team offers you a contract...and u wanna go there...just go...dont pay attention to opportunities...if u play well ure gonna be in the starting 11 soon...so dont worry bout thatk:

 

[billward]

For some reason the manager decided to bench me in my second season for Bolton. I have no idea why. Perhaps he wanted to sell me. In my first season for Bolton I played every match (except for bans, there were quite a few and injuries). I got an offer from Man City and they wanted to pay me twice as much as Bolton was paying me. I decided to go with Man City. If I'm gonna be benched, I might as well get paid well for it :tongue: and I was still angry at the manager for changing the formation. I liked 4-4-2 that gave me some support. I'm doing quite well playing for City. I've become the go to guy for goals. 8 goals in 8 matches so far and only 3 yellow cards so far. I'll try hard not to get 12 yellow cards, which gives you an automatic 3 match ban.

 

[zizou4ever]

How are the starting stats chosen? Randomly? Do you have any influence in the distribution of your stats?
