Alright Bob?
It was absolutely horrendous for the first few months - strikers missed umpteen one on ones, wingers would shoot from impossible angles instead of crossing to your unmarked striker in the 6 yard box every single time. They patched it in February and its miles better, not really enjoying it still though.
Why you not enjoying it if they have patched it up mate...other than the fact you're probably trying to play with Sunderland ?
was just about to buy it like is it worth it or will it just piss me off?
Can you post your tactics in that case, my IFs are absolutely hopeless
Never been able to get them to work this yearAs long as you're using the most up to date patch it's definitely playable (now anyway). I think I just got a bit bored of it, haven't touched it for weeks
Did you not talk to them ? Had that a few times and they usually let me have my wayThe new Sampdoria board have backed me a lot more than the previous boards. The invested in my appalling training and youth facilities to bring them up to scratch and they also gave me a £25m transfer budget.
I sold £12m worth of squad filler which allowed me to spend £31m to get better. It's still a tough ask given the wage restrictions, the lack of proven talent that wants to join and that the board actually intervened in a transfer too. I bid for a world class midfielder at Shaktar and after having a £22m bid accepted, the board pulled out of the deal saying they wouldn't let me spend more than £16m on him!
So I mainly bought youth with a lot of upside. My 2 star signings were Jude Bellingham who I paid £7.25m for to bring in from Houston (no idea how he ended up there) and Sebastiano Esposito a 20 year excellent striker from Inter for £6.75m. I did make 1 huge error though, I signed Ademola Lookman for a bargain £4.6m but because England is a non EU country now and the league has restrictions, I'm unable to register him so he's gone straight out on loan to Fenerbahce.
The club wants me to finish in the top half this season which should be possible, but I'm still a way from breaking the top 7. It's harder than you'd think, there's huge money flying around. Lazio have signed Gabriel Jesus, Inter spent £70m on Kingsley Coman to supply Lukaku. Juventus have 7 players in their squad worth £50m+ and Milan have 5. Atalanta have 3 Italian internationals all on more than £100k a week. Roma and Napoli are the weakest of the group but they still have 12 players each that are valued higher than the £12m which my most valuable player is. Even Fiorentina and Torino have more resources and stronger squads so I'm probably the 10th best team with a target of 9th or above.
