Does anyone actually play a MLS team in career?

I'm just curious because I can't honestly see any reason why someone would. The MLS is one of the worst leagues in the world in terms of talent and the game reflects that.

I'm not knocking anyone that does play them but I am honestly curious as to why someone would use them.

Lmao! I don't use it, I don't use European leagues either, but you'd still be surprised. Even though the league isn't as great as others, the stadiums get packed!

Leaving the general ignorance of the statement alone, and trying to simply answer the question...

Because it's their native league? With their local team that they support? You really can't wrap your head around it?

My biggest problem with using an MLS team is the lack of the CONCACAF Champions League in the game. Not much outside of the MLS season.

1. to play as your favorite team with players you like. I know DC United isn't the best team in the world, but they have great talent with Hamid, Kitchen, Najar and Pontius. With that said....

2. Being able to build your paltry mls team into a powerhouse.

If they had the CONCACAF CL I would probably play MLS exclusively in CM. Really hope that's included in FIFA 14.

I have the exact thoughts. I'm a big fan of Liga MX's Guadalajara, but other than the domestic league there's nothing. I guess the international management keeps me busy as well but it's not the same. What I'm planning to do after the next roster update is start a new career but swap all of the teams to a European league like the Portugal or Holland league where teams can't be demoted, and just take it from there. That way, I may not be able to take part in the CONCACAF Champions but I can play the uefa one. Also, since there'll be more tournaments that means m

Also, since there'll be more tournaments that means more chances to swap the roster and give the youngsters more minutes. Has anyone tried anything like this before? Where you're not just swapping a team to a different league but swapping the whole league?
