Any of you lot play this on Xbox 360?

Is it just as good?

I've heard reports that it's really slow if you play too many divisions but i only play 3/4 countries anyways.

Started a game with Leicester, so far ive only spent cash on youth.

Loic Nestor - Le Havre - 300k

Serge Akakpo - AJ Auxerre - 160k

Kevin Olimpa - Bordeaux - 110k

Tommaso Bianchi - Piacenza - 180k

Seth Johnson - Free

Only player to be sold so far is Maybury, to Sheff U for 150k :giggle:. I need to start buying some attacking options and trimming down my squad now.

Im doing rubbish with Leicester.. finished 14th in the 1st season even though Hume got 29 goals >_<.

Just bought Ched Evans for £3m from Man City who got relegated and also had an offer of £1M & Mattock for Joe Hart accepted - I think i'll do that :thumbup:. Luis Jimenez has arrived finally, from Ternana and he looks quality :scarf:.

Pahah!

Ripped off.

I could afford him though. And he did score a hat trick in the play off final to beat WBA 3-2 :cool:

Premiership here I come!! :D:scarf:

Started a game with Leicester, only came 10th after the first season after a poor run towards the end of the season dropped me out of the playoffs. Ched Evans scored 44 goals in 40 starts for me!

i cant believe ive actually managed to win the league with lincoln! i started dipping toward the middle of the season and dropped to 10th but then i changed my formation a bit, sold stallard and marriott for a combined 48k and signed liam dickinson who turned my season around with 13 goals in 15 apperances! dodds got 26 in 40 and van der roer got 30 in 40! but mclean and theo robinson ran away with top scorers with 40 goals each! might not stay at lincoln, crew have been relegated and they still have a good team so ill probably try to win the league with them! woop!

My teams dreadful but I'm doing better than I could've hoped for really.

First team now looks like this:

Kirkland, Almunia

Hoyte, Lescott, Paul Robinson (surprisingly good!), jack hobbs (youngen from scouse), toure, ryan taylor, mattock (had to be done)

Gareth Barry, Fabregas, Giles Barnes :(, Bentley, Rosicky, Flamini, Aaron Hunt

Eduardo, Bendtner, Defoe, Walcott

and yet I'm winning games! :)

I'm into my fourth season at Leicester after promotion via play offs in the first season. In my third season, won the Carling cup, got to FA Cup final and finished 9th in the Premier League.

My finances are dire though, a constant negative bank balance. :rolleyes:

Posted

Unlucky.

After a poor start in the Premier league with City, i finished 11th by winning my last 8 games on the trot.

Into my second season now and i've won the League cup (against Forest!!) and sitting 12 points clear at the top of the Premier league.

My team now is

Fulop

Mattock

Stearman

Ze Castro

Fredson

Downing

Simao

Christian Portilla

Mascherano

Huntelaar

Stancu

I like this game now :D

My game with Arsenal is starting to piss me off. I dominate every single game, have 20+ shots every game, yet can't score. Don't think I need to change formation as I'm playing well, but I've tried different strike partnerships which aren't working. New strikers? Change wingers?

Wow what a season Ive just had with Aston Villa, won the Premiership, Champions League, League Cup & Community Shield. :giggle:

Seems to happen after a season or two when you play the same formation. I try to change it around abit, but I'm most succesful with formations that only have one wide player on each flank (full/wingbacks) and have an AMC slot. Last thing is an absolute must!!!
