Hey guys, I have been playing this mode for a while now, so i thought i would post abit of advice.
Stick with it, i am on my 4th season now and my stats are looking good. I am playing for a top team, my salary is high and i am playing in my favoured position. If you havn't got the patience to play through the first 2-3 tough seasons like me then skip them. You still get your stat points, you just dont get your match experience points, these are hardly noticable anyway. Unless its a big match like the European Championship Final, Masters Cup Final, even then they only make a nominal contribution to your players overall deveopment.
If your stamina is around 79, dont bother allocating points to it, its a waste. You will be subbed by 75 mins anyway. Tecknique kicking has high growth on short pass, shot accuracy, shot technique and free kick. Technique dribbling's high growth is dribble accuracy. Power's high growth is shot power and long pass speed. Speed is top speed and acceleration. I wouldn't bother with balance for now.
The camera angle i use is vertical wide (ball), takes abit of getting used to, but you will. Try to avoid constantly calling for the ball, this really confuses the AI. Get into space and wait for them to be facing up the pitch before you call. If you call when there is no pass on, the AI will try to get it to you, or pass to a team-mate who inturn will rush to get the ball to you and you will probably loose posession. If you find that cumulative fatigue is affecting your player, just skip a match and your player will be fully fit next match, just make sure its not an important match that you need to win.
All in all, if you play in the position your manager wants you to, play well, assist in goals and score loads, you will develope your career well and become a Legend.
The funs not over there. Once your guy is a machine and is on a high salary, you can scout 4 AI players for your online Legends team, as-long as they are on a lower salary than you. For example at the minute I have Cech as my goalkeeper, Ferdinand as my centre back, Messi and Kaka' are also in my team. Along with 3 other human players, it can be a very strong line-up. I am guessing that if the 3 other human players also scout 4 good AI players,these will also be added to the team sheet.
Hope this helps !!
