the past few days i have really gotten addicted to this mode.
i'm only in my first season (just past the winter break) and though it was a little slow going at first, i can feel my guy improving all the time (or maybe it's partially me improving too, since i'm in america, i've only had the game about 3 weeks).
anyway, i made my guy a left-winger because i've always put a lot of emphasis on wing play in past pes/winning 11 games. (i'll probably go more central next wime around thanks to the advice on htis thread.)
so i'm playing for West Ham and we've been in 4th most of the season. it took me a tough 9-10 weeks to break onto the bench, and another couple weeks to get a start, but now i'm starting more than half the time.
West Ham usually play a 4-5-1, which i hate, but i often make it a 4-4-2 just because i play too far forward a lot trying to get involved and get us some goals.
my first goal came in dramatic style against Man City in the cup. we won the first leg 2-0, but were losing the 2nd leg 2-0. things were looking dire until i made a run through the middle and sprung a lazy offside trap...i was through one-on-one with the 'keeper and slotted it home in the bottom right corner...with my right foot even! (i'm left-footed.) that put us up 3-2 on agg. and won the tie. what a feeling!
then a couple weeks late we had the next round against the other Manc's, and things were much more dire this time around (as one might expect against the Red Devils.) we were down 3-1 at home when i came on at halftime and totally changed the game. we came back to make it 4-4 in the end with me scoring one and getting an assist, and of course, MotM. another moment a ecstasy!
so i've got 2 goals, an assist, 2 MIP awards, and one MotM...we're trying to solidify 4th, and i think i'll be content with staying with the Hammers next year (unless something really really good comes along.)
so yeah, awesome stuff!
