A thread to collect all whacky, insane, brilliant and utterly disastrous seasons in NBA/MADDEN/FIFA franchise or career modes.

Mods: there is a rogue 'the' in the title. Please remove

 

I created 31 fictional teams on NHL19 and having been playing through a season as the Brooklyn Goodfellas.
Our logo is pizza and our colors are obviously green, white and red.

 

In the end you lose no matter what because you’re playing Madden.

 

One game left on my initial season with Dortmund - Champions League Final against Atletico Madrid.

Topped Bayern for the league title with four games to spare, despite getting one point in my two games against them. Bayern dropped their semifinal in Champions League be Atleti, while my Dortmund side bested Real Madrid. Kinda feel like I dodged a bullet there.

Bayern went out in the second round of the DFB-Pokal to a 2.Bundesliga side, can and in my last game a Christian Pulisic first half header on a perfect cross from Jadon Sancho gave me a 1-0 result in the Pokal final over Hoffenheim, meaning I'm playing for the treble.

Oddly, this will be my third meeting with Atletico, as we were drawn into the same Group. I split the series with them, each team winning at home, but they went on to top the group when I lost to Monaco. So I like my chances.

 

me trying to follow the soccer stuff:

 

I was beyond pissed when someone paid Dahoud's buyout clause in the January window. Even though he'd barely been playing.

The only buys I did were Wil Trapp and Josh Sargeant for depth. And because 'Merica. Though Trapp had a stoppage time have winner against Brugge and Sargeant netted a hat trick against Bremen, after we clinched the title and I played the young guys.

Same. Just "Madden" instead of soccer

 

Brooklyn Goodfellas have advanced to the Conference Finals today while I was supposed to be working from home

 

Forget champagne. Tonight the pizza will be flowing!

 

Okay hopping off NHL and into The Show.
Introducing Chubby Butts. 5x5 pitching phenom drafted by the Miami Marlins ugh.

 

In the sixtieth minute, the Legendary Christian Pulisic did play a weighted ball up the left flank. The Godlike Achraf Hakimi did run on to the ball, and crossed it into the box. The brilliant Paco Alcácer hit it first time. The overmatched Jan Oblak outstretched his hand and leaped towards the upper corner, but was powerless to stop the ball from flying forcefully into the net. The travelling Yellow Wall burst into cheers.

Three minutes later, Antoine Griezeman went on a breakaway, and found himself one-on-one with Roman Bürki. Griezeman powered a hard, heavy shot to the left of Bürki and towards the top of the goal, but Bürki laid out, getting enough on the ball to tip it over the line for a corner. The corner was taken, sent into the box, and Hakimi the Great and Powerful headed it out, and the danger passed.

In the 89th minute, with Dortmund attempting to kill the clock, Atletico won the ball and quickly played it out, first to Griezeman, and then to Diego Costa. Once again, it was our hero - Achraf Hakimi - tracking back, cleaning winning the ball from Costa, and sending it back the other way. Atletico would find no more chances; Dortmund would be champions of Europe and complete the Treble.

 

To fill the sports gap in my life, I started a new career, with Sunderland, trying to lift them out of the Third Division of English Football.

I'm eight games in, six wins and two draws, top of the table ...


... And the board is disappointed in my performance so far, as they need me to sell more shirts and promote/sign more popular players, but without a budget.



Never realized just how realistic the game was

I've been playing Franchise, and while the standard repetitive criticisms apply, I've really enjoyed the player progression system and much of the gameplay.

Also beating the Steelers 121-6 b/c I increased the playing time to 15 min quarters.

Some of the faces on the game are a joke though, I'd have thought they'd scan more high-profile guys.
