Just adding onto the discussion over how long a FIFA 13 CM lasts for, in FIFA 10 it was 15 seasons long as well. Maybe '13 is the same?

[~Nicole~]

Maybe this time it's unlimited? Cause if it's still 15 seasons then that'll only be like 3 World Cups?

[Ninjames]

I doubt it's unlimited, if it went on forever then the file size would end up being huge. Besides, eventually all the real players would end up retiring and EA could never program thousands and thousands of made-up players in to replace them. And no manager lives forever, it would be unrealistic to have it go on indefinitely. :P

It should be, as the game gets incredibly ****ed up 10 seasons in. You have players with really weird stats going around between clubs. A highlight of my career mode had a LB join our club that had 99 in everything bar stamina and strength, which were like 40 or something stupidly low like that. Quite funny

Haha what game was that on? I never noticed anything out of the ordinary on FIFA 10 which is weird since I changed to a different club every year. You'd think I would have encountered a weirdly overpowered player but I guess I got lucky (or maybe unlucky- that LB does sound like a right player, wouldn't have minded having him :P).

[~Nicole~]

I'm going to quit my current CM only when Leo Messi retires, until then I've got an amazing CM file with no bugs as yet goin' on here!

I bought FIFA 12 last year. Played it only like 5 times, that's it. So knowing that i will not buy FIFA 13 but decided to buy Resident Evil 6 instead. Oh and since this thread is about soccer, i feel like i should mention my favourite team is PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands.

You mustn't judge the FIFA franchise on FIFA 12 because that game was a disappointment to many (me included). FIFA 13 is a lot better, trust me. You should download the free demo and give it a go. :P

Decided to screw my Aresenal CM and start Liverpool

You bought RE6 instead...oh dear!

Nice I kinda support them aswell, mainly because the club I would support over them is playing in the Jupiler league .

Heck, i visit every match they play in their own stadium. This is my third season already, hopefully they'll take the title this year. It's about time...

I finished the first campaign yesterday. I enjoyed it a lot so up until now, i have no regrets about skipping FIFA13 and buying RE6.

Nah, i know myself well enough. I have bought FIFA09 and FIFA10 as well. They suffered the same fate as FIFA12, so i'll just stick to visiting PSV Eindhoven.

Ah right, at least you've tried a few out then.

I don't live close to Eindhoven I live in the north of the netherlands. So I've never been there. :P

^ Talking about Netherlands, the one team which I used to like was Heerenveen when they had Alfonso Alves? (I think that's his name, the Brazillian who would score 40 goals every campaign it seemed.) Still, PSV should win the title considering they were once giants, so to speak.

Lol I absolutly hate the bolded club. They are our archrivals.

Then you should be pleased they aren’t doing well at the moment. Not surprising though, they sold their best 3 players last season. Including Luciano Narsingh who went to PSV. I wonder how well Assaidi will do at Liverpool. From Heerenveen to Liverpool, that’s a pretty big step.

Yeah they should huh? They have screwed it up the past four seasons. AZ, Twente, Ajax and Ajax again. With the return of Mark van Bommel, they simply MUST grab the title this year! Alfonso Alves was his name indeed btw, i believe he scored somewhere between 32 and 35 goals that season.

Fun fact: The odds of the Loch Ness Monster appearing this year are shorter than the odds of San Marino beating England tonight apparently.

[Armando Payne]

^ I didn't like the fact we won. I wanted us to lose to San Marino, still we didn't draw first blood until after a half a hour and it wasn't complete annihilation, just England failing to score and San Marino passing the ball to England all the bloomin' time it seemed. Basically if you haven't seen the match, I'll condense it into 3 words, England, Corner, Goal. That was the entire match.

[The Benmeister]

San Marino have only not tasted defeat in four international games in their twenty two year FIFA membership. Now you know.

A win is a win for England, the bigger result was Moldova 0-0 Ukraine, what a favour! Hopefully we put in a good showing in Poland.
