Germany seems like one of the big leagues not many people use here. I believe it was @JustinCase0110 who did a Leverkusen career last year but not many since.

Yes I did. Or, it was in fact a Hamburger SV career, where I just switched to Leverkusen for the final season, after I'd won it all with HSV. I also had good fun with Magdeburg some seasons ago.
I do also remember startups here with Düsseldorf and Kaiserslautern, both with promising starts, but stopped again rather quickly... Germany is a great choice, but I also fancy leagues outside the top 5, one might learn something new then. And I really don't know that much about football in Poland...
Poland it is, then... I'm going ' home' as I live in Kraków in real life (though born and raised in Amsterdam), the city of my next career.
However, my uncle once worked in the Youth Academy of arch rivals Wisła Kraków, where I myself worked as translator when Robert Maaskant and some other Dutchies were active at the club (2011-2014). In 2014, my uncle's Wisła youth team hammered Cracovia with 10:0 in the finals of the first ever national youth league; something that is still a sensitive topic today, although much has been compensated by Wisła's demise and relegation, a year and a half ago now.
So a move to arch rivals Cracovia, 800 metres on the other side of the Błonia Field is very, very sensitive. On top, via my family-in-law Cracovia-player Mariusz Rakoczy is distant family, so the press will hammer me for treason and nepotism, especially if things turn bad.
That's a hint for you: I invite you to sometimes break into my career as if you're the football press
I am only three matches into my new career in Denmark so I hope this is not just a fluke but the league plays completely different. The CPU team is crossing the ball, passing around the back, two teams pressed hard and one team fell back on defense.
I'm used to playing in England where it seemed like nobody crossed the ball and everyone played the same. Has anyone else noticed differences like this? It is fantastic so far.

I haven't noticed this. But I remember a huge difference I noticed the last time I played there. The transfers in and out were very limited, so even 4-5 seasons in you could still recognize the other teams' lineups (if you knew about them, of course). I hate - when playing in England - that half a team seems to be changed only six months in sometimes.
- @JustinCase0110 That is true, smaller leagues have way less transfers which is nice. I just played a few more matches and it's still different. Playing as Tottenham, I rarely defended crosses. Now I'm doing it pretty often.

You know, thinking about it, I don't remember ANY crosses in my current career, except the ones I do for my team.
It's a flaw in the game, to be sure, when you watch Premier League matches in real life.
Come to think about it, nobody crossed when I played as Las Palmas in Spain last year, either.
I wonder what's behind that. Has anyone encountered this yet in their careers?
Hopefully not a buggy, but just remember a few FIFA's ago careers had a tendency to bug out when seeing things like this. Kinda hoping someone else has come across and things have carried on as usual

Haven't seen this one, no. But I did sent someone on a loan to some club that had a bugged club name. Don't recall it now, but it was very long and contained a lot of symbols and signs. I don't expect anything strange to happen there. More strange than this, I mean.
Ok cheers assuming/hoping was something of nothing just fears from a few years ago 🤣
- @thurlow885 Not seen that one...
Been busy with exams/work lately - hows everyone getting on?
I see you're still alive and kicking.
A few regulars on here but not like the old days. I think a lot of people play the online modes now which is a shame. I'm enjoying this years game.

Me too. It has its dings and flaws, but I thoroughly enjoy it too. I'm also not attracted to the online modes, so I'm just continuing to explore the universe of Career Mode.
I just saw Ibrahim Osman signed with Brighton. Funny to see a player I didn't know until this career and now he's suddenly coming to the PL.
Same with Diomande going to the Rangers.

I agree, it is funny. I once signed this young striker from Lech Poznan. Didn't know much about him, just seemed like a good fit for a striker. Some time later he joined Dortmund IRL as a backup to Lucas Barrios, who was Klopp's preferred number 9 at the time. But then the young striker became a starter for Die Schwarzgelben and lead them to back to back Bundesliga titles, one of them being a first ever domestic double for Dortmund, also qualifying them to the Champions League final after scoring all 4 goals in a 4-1 win vs Real Madrid in the semi final.
I think we've all had our Freddy Adu's too, players who were good and promising in the game, but never made it on the big stage IRL. But it is funny, when we are sometimes able to find a real gem in game and watch them develop into great real life footballers later on.

Hardly playing anymore here, unfortunately. When I do, it's usually Clubs with friends... And it's more for the laughs we have while playing than for the matches themselves.
That's why I've almost disappeared from here also.
Long gone are the career mode days, unfortunately.
Not that I haven't tried though: I've started a FIFA 14 career with PEC Zwolle (that game on Xbox One is underrated in my opinion) before FC 24 came out, but I abandoned it somewhere into the 2nd season. I've then tried to lead Macclesfield to glory in FIFA 19, and failed miserably...
I'd love to try another MLS campaign with FC 24 (which all in all I don't dislike) but I don't think I'd have the time and the will to keep going through it.
I had a lot of players who turned great in my career from the Tottenham academy but IRL they did not live up to the hype. Josh Onomah was my favorite one. He was amazing in FIFA and Spurs fans were so excited for him in the academy. But he never worked out.
@JustinCase0110 A 2 month break in the Danish league? That is crazy. What is the reason for no games in December or January?
- @walter767 I very much am, spent the morning trying to plan a trip to Finland for the Nations League tie

Yeah, I get that fully. I must admit I've played more UT/Clubs than CM this year. Evos has got me trying UT a bit and then cross-play on Clubs has meant we've reformed a club from a few years ago.
@Stlducks4 wrote:A 2 month break in the Danish league? That is crazy. What is the reason for no games in December or January?
The weather, I think. It's been like that forever, or at least for as far as I remember. You may argue that the weather isn't that different from the British weather, but the money is also smaller and I suppose the clubs can't afford a proper heating of the pitch, which makes them impossible to play on during January/February.
At least we haven't done like Norway and Sweden, who play after the calendar year, starting the season in March and ending it in December (as far as I know).
In all three countries we are also seeing more and more clubs beginning to play on artificial grass, which is the case for both FC Nordsjælland and Silkeborg, just to name a few. Which is a huge nuisance for any club visiting them and being used to play on real grass.
@Alastairhufc England in league B, how the mighty have fallen.
Getting a little frustrated with Career Mode at mo, in general enjoying it happy with where am at etc, but the morale is broken. Club captain has missed 1 game this season And with no warning whatsoever after last match hands in transfer request form lack of game time and needs a move. He even played in that game. I also backed out and checked last save point as was first match today and there was no concern plus I've been keeping regular checks on morale as already lost a player I had in plans etc. now I accept things like this happen in football, but not so randomly. My team come next season will.be unrecognisable after 4 seasons because of this morale issue I've been having.
@walter767 wrote:@Alastairhufc England in league B, how the mighty have fallen.
Tactical to make sure we still win the matches despite the players still being hungover after winning the Euros.
On a side note, I've never been more disappointed in Finland than hearing you're sending windows95man to Eurovision...
Bit of a farce tbh but at least the guy's singing is serviceable.
