FIFA (All Versions) Career Mode Stories

Almost done with my 3rd season with Darmstadt on Fifa 17.
Won the league with 5 games left and its been quite easy tbh, WC 10 min semi pass/shoot.
Im going to experiment with sprint descrepancy, im usin 51/52 and the only game ive tried it so far felt much harder.
Dont want to change difficulty since WC plays very good, though a bit to easy, so ill keep testing some more.
Still a fantastic game
 
So 3 seasons completed with Darmstadt on Fifa 17
1. 6th place Bundesliga. 2nd round DFB Pokal
2. 5th place Bundesliga. 2nd round DFB Pokal. Group stage Europa League
3. 1st place Bundesliga. Semifinals DFB Pokal Semifinals. Semifinals Champions League

Now the question is to whether continue with Darmstadt or move on
 
Now the question is to whether continue with Darmstadt or move on
When I play my FIFA 16 career, first with West Ham, then with Wolves, I always assume I'll play until I win the Premier League and the Champions League in the same season. So far, I haven't managed to do that. Overall, over the course of a dozen seasons in my three careers, I've only managed to win the league twice. I think I've won the Champions League six times. That's why FIFA 16 is always a challenge for me and I never get bored. FIFA 17 – I'm playing my first season in English League Two, and it seems too easy and gets boring quickly. It's a shame there's no way to modify the gameplay like in FIFA 16.

Think this is my first title on FIFA 17,dont think ive won anything on 16/18 either.
Its weird, like i posted in the 17 thread, now that i have a 2nd career with Dortmund, same settings/sliders its very challenging.
To me the the toughest seasons ive had have been on FIFA 18
 
Giving my FIFA 17 a rest and going with FIFA 18.
This career is really challenging, 10 min semi shoot/pass the rest manual and legendary difficulty.

Decided to go for Hamburg, and this Squad is all over the place, its also the season 17/18 when HSV got relegated and stayed in the Zweite BL up until this season.
8 games played, and every one has been very tough.

HSV 0-0 Augsburg
Köln 0-1 HSV
HSV 2-3 Leipzig
Hannover 0-0 HSV
HSV 3-1 Dortmund
Leverkusen 1-2 HSV
HSV 1-3 Bremen
Mainz 2-1 HSV
The Toughest game was obviously the Nord derby vs Bremen.
2-1 down and a missed 1v1 vs the keeper became a counter attack and 1-3.
Really bad loss
Next game is FC Bayern at home and i expect nothing to be fair.

Really good fun and a very challenging career

Hanging on and staying up is my objective for sure
 
As expected my home game vs Bayern proved to be very hard,
I had quite a few chances first 20 min, even got a penalty that i missed.
Hamburg being the better team for the first 30 min.
Then in the second half Bayern upped their game, started attacking more and Ribery curled in two gols when cutting inside.
Late game i had a chanche but hit the post and that was game.
And this made it my third straight loss.

Next game was the first round of The DFB pokal.
Facing Bochum a zweite Bundesliga team, so hard to nreak them down, had a few chances nothing major, but managed to score from a cross in the box in the 79th min.
Held on for a solid but very nerv wrecking 1-0 win.
This game isnt a "when life gives you lemons you make lemonade" more rub it in your eyes and eat them kinda game
Very challeging, been frustrated a lot but never felt cheated and also wanted a real challenge, so its quite alright.

Moving on to a Bundeliga game away to Hertha Berlin next
 
3 straight losses för HSV and we need to bounce back
Hertha away was a weird game, not really playing that well but got 2 penalties in that game eventually won it 4-1, not sure I deserved it though.

Stuttgart at home was a game that felt and played real easy for me,out played and out shot the pretty comfortably and won it 3-0

Then I had a very good Schalke 04 away.
1-0 up early, controlled the game then a fast attack from them, a brilliant give and go and Teuchert made it 1-1 Schalke
2nd half and Schalke pressed me hard but my counter attack has been my bread and butter and this attack showed just that, Schalke standing with a high defensive line and i took advantage quite clinically.
2-1.


Schalke immediately answered back and 2-2.
Last 19 min i held on, Schalke hitting the woodwork twice, one of them from out of the blue, a curled shot from way out on the left side.
Even Stevens 2-2.

Sitting pretty good at the moment with 17 points and a 9th place after 1/3 played of the season
Next up is Hoffenheim at home
0e0ff452-5b17-4fee-ab9e-e95a0f31bd52.png

This game is a real gem tbh
 
What goes up must come down right?
A very solid 2-0 win Vs Hoffenheim at home, a tough and fast paced Hoffenheim I played BL worst team away, Freiburg!

Couldn't get any rhythm at all, a rainy and heavy pitch was very tough to play a decent passing game on.
They very much deserved a result since I underachieved in this game.
A 2-0 loss and I'm back on the ground.

My next game is Vs Wolfsburg which will be a tough challenge
 
Meltdown in Hamburg


Don't think I've had a more challenging and fun career in any FIFA game for years and years.
Next game ,Köln away in the DFB pokal, last 16.
And having two straight losses in the league means I need to step it up.
 
Finally a league win.
After losing to Freiburg 2-0 away and Wolfsburg at home 3-1 then a 1-1 draw in Gladbach i won against Eintracht Frankfurt at home 2-1, though they scored in the 80th minute I was able to hold them of to a very well deserved and welcomed win

17 games played , meaning I've played half a season and I'm sitting quite comfy in 8th place with a few points up to euro spots but also not that far from relegation zone.

Augsburg away then Köln at home and if i play well it should come away with 3-4 points from those, and then a very tough game away to RB Leipzig before we close the books on January.

Augsburg away. In the snow became a snooze fest.
I hit the post once and they had one okay chance but ended 0-0
Quite refreshing with a really dull game once in a while.

Then I had FC Köln at home, 1-0 down early worked my way in to the game and was 2-1 up after 45 min
2nd half made it 3-1 before Köln scored a 3-2 goal with 10 min to go, but could control the game and even made it 4-1 in the end.

Brilliant game this, good teams are really tough and poorer teams are quite hard as well, have to work for every point

Had a very eventful 0-0 draw at R*d Bu*l closing up January, that's 5 points from a possible 9, so pretty damn good, especially 2/3 being away

Next up is the quarter final of the Deutsche pokal.
And playing my cards right i could go all the way since all the top teams have been knocked out, and my qr final is against a 2 BL team
0948cc9d-71bc-4cd0-b8a0-34f16e687e24.png
 
This quarter final vs FC Heidenheim became way tougher than expected but i scored the game winner (2-1) very late in the game, but who cares how it looked, I'm off to the semi's Vs Freiburg

Has got a very bad patch atm.
My Hamburg can't buy a win, or even a goal.
0-0 RB Leipzig
0-0 BVB
0-2 at home Vs Bayer Leverkusen
Never ever have I been more out played than Vs Bayer L.
They were all over me all game long.
And next up is the Nord Derby Vs Weirder Bremen away, don't expect much from that game since I lost at home 3-1

Finally a goal and finally a win!
It all came together in a hard and feisty Nord derby.
07d1099d-968d-4eb7-9629-1120ed6ac710.png

And this win came after being 1-0 down and having a player sent off in the 70th min.
My 2 goals came in the last 10 min of the came and a very unlikely hero in my fullback Diikmeyer getting the game winner

Finally some breathing room
 
A blowout in Stuttgart!
After a few tough games and a mixed bag of result we really killed Stuttgart off away
0e18281b-f43f-44c2-a6c8-6ae59294349a.png

A tough game all the up until 3-0 then Stuttgart had to push forward and I was able to punish them again and again!
Next game is Schalke 04 at home, but I'll savour this one for a while longer
 
Its almost the business end of the season and I'm trying to grab a Euro spot for next year and it's really tough to get there.
Schalke at home was a game were i came from behind and made it 2-2 in the 85th minute
31479739-05d5-45c8-8994-5aa69b6a72c5.png

Next game vs a very tough Hoffenheim.
Held a 1-0 lead until the 89th minute when they scored and it ended 1-1
183b7515-e715-420d-bfa7-a9fd8cf37b46.png

Four games left of the league and I'm in 6th place wanting that last place for Europe next year.
Next two games is Vs Freiburg (one league and then a DFB Pokal game)
And hopefully i grab them both, securing Europe and DFB pokal final

Gameday 33.
Eintracht Frankfurt away
A win here and it would secure a place in the Europa League next season.
A tight first half ended 1-1 then in the 70th minute i had a man sent off.
Will this be the game that makes it breaks my Euro hopes?
 
League finish d and objective was not to get relegated and we succeeded with flying colours
28c624de-6a36-497f-9c0c-2f5f43cc3434.png
A European spot next year!

Then the big one, Die DFB-POKAL final vs Wolfsburg.
A game that quite even despite the score we scored twice in the first half then twice again later into the games

Hamburger SVs first proper trophy since 1987
(Not counting various obscure cups)
This was one of my best Fifa seasons ever.
Amazing game
 
Finished last season with silverware, and started with silverware.
Super cup Vs Bayern.
A high standing and hard pressuring Bayern that left gaps for me to exploit with my counter attacking style.
They were all over me, but kept a clean sheet and came away with a great victory

Great start to my season, despite winning 3-0 this game was so hard
 
2nd season with Hamburg and most games are a battle to win, still we're really playing well but injuries to key midfielders are starting to take its toll.
d5cd973d-ceca-4f6b-b781-4bf769984dd7.png
We're having a good but not great (so far) run in the Euro League, need to win our next game Vs Boavista to secure a playoff spot
721c0ea1-fd2a-4b3c-9788-eb10be2c0676.png

We beat Freiburg in the 2nd round of the DFB pokal and now its one of the tougher teams waiting in the last 16 round
dd6ba013-43f9-4253-bfa5-a4a460835c2e.png

But next up is RB Leipzig wlaway and its going to be tough
 
Dortmund away and i have never ever been this dominated by a team before, they just bombarded me and I had to defend for my life.
Though I won the game due to great counter attacks and sharpness in front of goal, this was one hell of a struggle
85916bda-1c3a-405e-9539-51cb1a36672e.png

We also made it to the last 16 in the Europa League and will be facing Basel in January
