Path of a Manager - Tarantism's FIFA 15 Career

This will be a blog for my FIFA 15 career mode, throughout which I will attempt to start from the bottom and move up through the ranks of Football into the top tiers. I will be starting during the 2015 MLS season as my local team, the San Jose Earthquakes (who coincidentally have an interim manager at the moment). There will be certain house rules that I use as far as game settings and roster management:

Difficulty - World Class
Half Length - 10 minutes
Rules - All On
Camera - Be a Pro
Sliders - Customized

During my time in the MLS i will be allowed to carry five domestic players on my youth squad to simulate the Homegrown player and also the MLS Superdraft. However, players on the youth squad can only be carried through the offseason and either must be signed to the active squad by the start of the regular season (not including friendlies) or released from the youth squad. Also, players under 18 who demand to be called up by the game must either be released or loaned out and are not eligible to play until they are 18 years old. This rule ONLY applies to the MLS.

Note About the MLS youth players - To simulate the Homegrown Player exception in the MLS, I will be allowed to sign one player to my youth squad per season. That player cannot be called up until they are 18, and players who demand to be called up before that may not play with the senior team, but can be loaned out until they are 18. To simulate the MLS SuperDraft, I will sign four free agents during the winter transfer window, and they must have decreasing abilities and be less than 23 years old.

I use a few stats that I created to help myself quickly evaluate players that will be seen during statistic updates done periodically throughout each season:

WS - Win Shares
WAR - Wins Above Replacement
PER - Player Efficiency Rating
PVR - Player Value Rating

Other relevant information -

Financial Strictness - Strict (60%)
Currency - Euros
Squads Used - Current
First Summer Transfer Window - Disabled

And finally, I have added the Greek Super League from the creation centre.

Anyway, to the football!
