Pirlo Picks up the Pipe at Sampdoria - 24/25 Season Serie B

The first one! @JustinCase0110 nice; anything I need to be aware of, before starting a story myself (cropping, resolution etc.)

Would it now be possible to separate Career Mode [Remarks] from Career Mode [Stories] as two single threads? (Don't know whom to tag in order to ask)

Personally, I'm not very interested in all those complaints, but I respect these stories and I loved doing them myself, back on the FIFA formus.

I was inclined to answer you with what I found was the easiest way to upload images etc., but I see you've already posted your own story now, so no reason for that, I reckon.

Already getting difficult to find these CM Stories among all the complaints here, really highlights the need for a separate CMS section.

Agreed! And the fact that everything is limited to a width of 680 pixels doesn't give much spaces to work with.

But we'll make do with what there is: you get Samp back in Serie A, I'll try and get Ajax back in Champions League...

Deal!

Great club to pick. I watched them a little last season with Winks there and you can tell a lot of work is needed. I like the format and the player POV. Creative idea!

Thanks man! Kind of a mix between Player Career and Manager Career, I reckon. Just trying a different approach with the writeups to avoid these careers becoming too similar. After all, my two careers in FIFA23 were HSV (started in 2.BuLi) and Sunderland (Championship), so I can't deny that my casting of clubs to play with has followed a certain pattern lately 😄😄

8 points from 6 matches - sounds like mid-table to me. I don't expect anybody to have maintained full points by now, but surely you must be 2 victories down on the league leaders?...

Yes, well, maybe... It's been a bumby start, so I haven't paid too much mind to how the other clubs have performed. I'll make a league table after the first 10 games, showing where I stand compared to the rest of them.

Mid-table could very well be the case for me though. I'm in no rush to go up, except I have this board objective to do so. But I would prefer having another season in Serie B, moulding a more competitive side to climb up (and stay up), once the time is right. There is an interesting promotion playoff though. Apparently top 2 is promoted automatically, then 3 and 4 enter the Promotion semi finals, whilst numbers 5 to 8 enter a Playoffs too, with the winners of these games facing 3 and 4 in said semi finals. So, in the end, only a top 8 position is needed for the promotion to be possible.

I agree with you, staying down another season is best for the club in a competitive point of view. But financially going up makes the most sense so that is what the board wants. 

The playoff is interesting. That takes pressure off you to finish at the top. Finish top 8 and you still have a good chance to go up. I can see why so clubs are relegated in their first season though. Earning promotion when not in the top 2 is really setting you up for a difficult next season.
