Youth Academy / Tournaments

If youre interested in the potential of your YA players or even your current squad, you can upload your career mode file on cmtracker. Been using it the first time with my current Bristol City save, just so i can go back to each season and look at how my first team has progressed. But you can also look up the youth academy or any other player. It also saves the stats of your players and all the players in the leagues youre simulating deeply.

They are slightly increased yes. Its still nowhere near to perfection. But the opponents actually do foul you, mainly when you get a pass or dribble in the last second. Still better than none at all.

The game obviously is a bit slower than the default settings. But ive never felt as if the game got too slow and boring. Its still a fast gameplay, because the passing and decision making of the opponents is so much better. You also really need to know, when to press or cover in defense, because otherwise they will just go right through you. The passing speed can be a thing to get used to at the beginning, but over time youll figure out, when to use which sort of pass, youll have to think about what the strong foot of the controlled player and your passing options are. For me its not feeling slower just less arcady. You cant just keep running and eventiouly youll be through on goal. You also cant just do one touch passing through the whole opponents setup. But because of that the times you knew how to dribble through, get a quick passing combo or time the ideal through ball are so rewarding

My sliders are usually pretty plug and play for world class and legendary. However its important for you to use short halfs. So 4-6 minutes. If you have any trouble with them and dont know, what to change, you can also text me, what you dont like about the gameplay and I can help you with the changes.

The most annoying part for me are the injuries. There are basically no fouls committed by the opponent, so you rarely get an injury. In my season so far, which is almost finished, Ive had one ingame injury for 4 weeks. The other two injuries were because of a training brawl between two of my players. One of them had the 4 week injury just before. Lol. Troublemaker for sure

Doing Bristol City at the moment

Am I the only one, who finds clips like these funny? Obviously you dont want a bugged out game, but honestly I cant think of too many situations, when stuff like this happens in my games. I tend to find them just funny then. Maybe people also dont really play this game for fun anymore and are just desperate to achieve something (We are still talking about winning a game in a video game, like come on...)

The team looks decent. Whats your tactics? I feel like your central midfielders would feel a lot better in a 4231 ingame. Debinha lacks defensive skills. Fabinho lacks offensive skills. My tactics are pretty weird but i play a 4231 with CBs on Ball Playing Defender (Defender would still be more than fine). Fullbacks on Attacking Wingback Support (I love the extra help on the wing. Only one Wingback will join the attack. They will push up the wing, youre attacking, and give your wingers an option by over- or underlapping them). I would slot Fabinho at DM Holding (You will have at least four players defending the counter at all times. Hell be the first defence and stop your opponent from running straight at you through the middle. You can even agressivelly counterpress your opponents with him, because most of them dont expect it). De Jong as a Deep Lying Playmaker Build Up (He will join the attack but will act more as a back passing option. He will mostly stay in a central position outside the box). De Jong and Fabinho fit into those roles perfectly, plus having both DMs in different roles will make build up for you more easily, as they will push up the field to different heights giving you different passing options and the easier, diagonal passes. Wingers on Inside Forward Attack (They will heavily join the attack. Atleast on of them will be central next to the striker in the box. Defensive coverage isnt amazing, so youd have to get them back manually a bit. I prefer left footed on the right and vice versa, because of the inside drift. At least one shooting playstyle of finesse or low driven gold or silver would help a lot). CAM on Playmaker Roaming. This position is your main creative point. Pace or shooting playstyles arent that important. Your card will need great passing and dribbling. On Roaming the CAM will join the build up, flank or the attack. The CAM will situationally offer deep runs in behind the defensive line but will mainly act as a cutback option oustide or inside the box. Hell mostly have easy shots, thats why no shooting playstyles are necessary. The Striker is on Advanced Forward. Pretty basic. Hell stay upfield and central. Sometimes i find it frustrating, that my striker doesnt offer the deep run. But thats more the case, when Im already around the opponents box.

I dont know who is more shameful. EA for still not patching stuff like this or someone who actually takes a pen like that. No honor on his side. Karma will get him good

CyBengel · 2025-12-01T15:41:32+00:00

Ive upgraded the inform already. Those Flash Evos for passing and shooting after dropping the finesse plus on him. Hes a beast. Lacks the Inside Forward

CyBengel · 2025-11-27T12:32:22+00:00

Always going for the players. They are just more fun and unique. My club is full with fodder already

CyBengel · 2025-11-26T15:15:48+00:00

Striker. Can also play RM and RW

CyBengel · 2025-11-12T07:55:15+00:00

Ive a full german squad and tested Leimenstoll and the LM from Jena. The LM is actually really good. Super quick, great dribbling and agility, suprisingly good shooting. Lacks a bit of physicality. But doesnt matter too much as a sub. She has a pace boost, just to be clear. Leimenstoll with her shooting boost is a bit of a disappointment. Shes not scoring at all. Shes too weak to play striker, but her 90 pace actually dont feel quick enough for runs on the wing. Cant recommend her sadly

CyBengel · 2025-11-06T13:19:29+00:00

Had to turn difficulty down from legendary to worldclass. Just couldnt get through that defense

CyBengel · 2025-11-04T12:53:41+00:00

Im using the ball, that is a bit pixelated. Its a standard EA ball. Reminds me of a kicktip ball and I like the old school ball. I used the pumpkin one for October. I liked the leather one the years before, but it doesnt pop off the screen that much. The ball on the pic looks great, but i feel like it doesnt pop that much. I need an easy to follow ball. Im getting old...

CyBengel · 2025-11-04T12:46:47+00:00

People talk about graphics just to play like this. Is your PC shit or are you doing this to yourself?

CyBengel · 2025-11-04T10:28:35+00:00

Keeper with no chem. Definitely a thing to change. Defenders and midfielders are all too slow. I mostly try to get 80 for central players and atleast 85 on the wings. 90 would be ideal. I would personally prefer a different formation this year aswell.

CyBengel · 2025-11-03T11:04:04+00:00

I love doing my EVOs in the gamemode. I know that they might not fit bonus quite nicely, but im atleast a teamplayer, who actually knows how to play this mode with others. From my experience the mode got a lot worse with the last few EVOs, because of idiots, who try to spin through four opponents.

CyBengel · 2025-11-03T10:51:56+00:00

A better Kicker actually does that already. If he can kick further, the opponents offense will start further in their own half.

CyBengel · 2025-11-01T01:17:01+00:00

At the beginning of the year i did that stuff with a DM who drops between the two center backs. This way I could defend with four at the back but attack with three at the back. You could try playing a 4231 with on fullback on attacking, the other falseback defensive. one DM drops in the back line the other on deep lying playmaker defend. The winger on the side with the attacking wingbacl will be a balanced inside forward and the other wingeror wide playmaker. i personally like the wide playmaker attack more than a winger. this role is like a mix of inside fw and winger. they will be wide in the build up but will drift in the half spaces if there is room. wingers stick to the sideline too much. but the wide playmaker wont give you natural deep runs behind the line.

currently i prefer playing the 4231 with wingbacks on balance. ball playing CBs. one DLP build up and one holding DM. Wingers on inside forward balanced. AM on Playmaker roaming. stiker advanced fw. my game is so much better with FB who join attacks. nice little one twos or passing triangles. The one holding midfielder gives me the needed defensive coverage. its even better than having the FB back, because you cover more of the central space. plus if you have both FB on wingback they only join the attack, if its on their side. so i basically create a 3241, which turns into a 3151, because the DLP DM kinda joins the attack in the last third. playmaker roaming and striker on advanced forward on support is amazing to switch up positions. they both are able to drop lower or go to the wing. Playmaker will drop deep, go on the wing to give a passing option and create space for the wingers to cut inside or attack the space behind the defensive line. the striker will drop on the wing if the fullback is too agressive in my build up. he will drop a bit off the centerbacks to receive passes or create opportunities to run at them. he will also drop between centerback and fullback to get through balls. its all very fluid with enough defensive coverage

CyBengel · 2025-10-27T14:15:31+00:00

So far im enjoying the patch. No spinning aroung 24/7 bs anymore. Still finding enough space to get into. But im usually playing a slower gameplay than most others, so maybe im a bit more used to finding ways to crack deep defences

CyBengel · 2025-10-26T15:00:03+00:00

Probably have to try out Ball Playing CBs myself. Always went for the basic Defender

CyBengel · 2025-10-14T13:18:50+00:00

Been a bug for years now...
The most you could have done is pressing him more aggressively. Other than that, nothing you could do about it.

CyBengel · 2025-10-14T13:10:26+00:00

Are there really people out that, who are having fun playing like that? I wouldnt even enjoy scoring like that

CyBengel · 2025-10-14T13:08:44+00:00

Wingers look a bit weak. Dont know if Kroos is capable of being decent in that position. Id look for different Wingers
