Funniest transfer of the off-season:
Anibaba to Seattle for Ianni, an international spot...and $15. Yes, $15.

The Pan-Pacific Championship is still in the game? Ugh...I hate this crappy tourny!!!

Made an offer for Darwin Quintero to be a DP (transfer listed at $1 million or so) but lost out to Sao Paulo because the board would only let me offer $650k/year. S.P.'s offer was $850/year.

Getting ready to fire up FMRTE so that I can add a CSL side as a feeder club so that I can send some players out on loan while still working towards Canadian citizenship. Have heard that you can't get affiliations with teams in playable leagues...

Well, crap...can't add affiliations with FMRTE!

PPC champs (yay?)
Beat Toluca 0-1 in the first leg of Q'Finals...despite going to 10 men after 15 minutes or so, and finishing the game w/ 9 after Ewerthon was injured after I used my subs. Nazarith just went down w/ a torn calf muscle, so now he's out 3-4 months.

Signed up Thunder Bay as my affiliated team, then switched it to Serbian White Eagles with the editor once the deal was signed.

CL Champs after destroying Santos Laguna 7-2 on agg. They were the only Mexican side I faced that played a normal 4-4-2; the others played w/ 3 backs, 2 wingbacks, 3 mids and 2 strikers. Usually they'd play their back-ups in the first match and bring out the big guns for the second leg, but SL seemed to go with their backup STs in both legs.

DeRo's still around, but coming off of the bench to relieve Stillic.

10 games in:
25 pts, 27f, 9a.
NY's sitting on 22 pts after 8 games, but have 22f and only 4a.
Best player so far is Ewerthon, w 11 goals in 14 games and a 7.62, followed closely by Carlos Andre (backup striker filling in for Nazarith) with 14, 10 and a 7.59

Tried everything I could think of to use FMRTE to create more Homegrown players but no luck...

End of the second season:
2nd in the East with 68pts (Philly had 70!) with 68f, 22a.
Finished 2nd in the Canadian Championship behind Vancouver (who won their CL group over Pachuca)
Won the Super Cup
Won MLS cup 0-2 over LA at Buck Shaw (10,000 fans!!!) Beat NY in the opening round 4-1, then crushed Philly 0-5 on the road after withdrawing Stillic, Frei (always gets called into Swiss side after he takes up Canadian nationality...only two more years before he can play for Canada!) and a couple of Canadians that were scheduled to play on the same day.

Semir Stillic named MVP with a 7.41 rating.
Ewerthon, having made noise about wanting to move clubs, finished as the Golden Boot winner with 32 in 32 games (apparently counts playoff games.) Overall had 38 goals in 42 games for a 7.53 (7.61 in league.) 70 total goals in his 2 seasons!!!

Next up is my run in the Club World Championship...

Sold Nana Attakora for $5mil to Real Sociedad and bought Romullo from Madeira for $875k. 2 year total of $2.34mil spent on players, $9.7mil from sales.

Heads up!!!!

Do not withdraw your players from international duty. There's a bug that makes it very unlikely they'll ever be called back into their squad. Guess I'll have to go back and re-do my playoff run. :angry:

Fortunately there's a work-around with FMRTE for the withdrawn issue. Phew!

Draft class announced, and meet your newest Generation Adidaser...Cesar Zamora (He of the 4 years of MLS experience so far in the game! :D )

GA breakdown:
Age CA PA
19 79 128 (real player but hasn't played in MLS, so no problems)
21 84 111
20 83 126 (player that shares his name should be a GA- 18 65 162!)
18 79 160
18 84 166
20 85 125 (Mr. Zamora)
24 80 100 (real player from lower division)
18 83 136
18 107 187 (gonna have to lower that one!)
18 84 165
18 69 115
18 68 115
18 79 137

Club World Championship:
2nd place after losing 2-1 to Real Madrid. Led until the 81st minute...
Beat Mazembe 4-0, then beat Independiente (Argentina) 3-1. No CR9 in the final, but the rest were first-teamers. Still, $4mil is a nice payout.

Wow, looks like that draft class is horrid, the 107-187 aside.

Your team must suck, you can't even beat Madrid without Ronaldo.

Higuain was out, too. :P

Really thought I was going to pull off that upset, too.

Did some heavy editing to the draft players, almost all 125 of them (the 24 year-olds I pretty much left as-is.) The 187 guy was lowered to a 167 (still the best US prospect in the game, I believe) but wasn't selected until the 5th pick!

Time to part ways with De Ro. Final year of his contract, but at $450,000/year I just can't afford to keep him on my books as a backup (7 pace 6 stamina at this point.) I've convinced him to take up coaching but he's not ready to retire yet. I've dropped him to "no longer needed" but he still asks for $500,000/year as a backup in negotiations.

Ewerthon has started losing some pace...I set his asking price to "unspecified" to try and lure some bids out of the interested clubs but no luck so far (and he played well in the CWC, to boot.)

Nazarith has been a bust so far...BUT he hasn't been called into Colombia's squad, either. Another 2 years of mediocrity and he'll be ready for Canada!!!

Wow - that's incredibly realistic sounding!

Start of the 2012 season and just realized Chivas USA (Trond Sollied) and Colorado (Roy Keane) are the only teams that have changed managers. I'd much rather see the game keep managers around too long instead of dumping them at every chance!

As much as that sucks for you, I'm glad to know I'm on the only one affected by this. It happens eventually in every save.
