I've decided to switch gears and start a new challenge. I've been watching several YouTube feeds of people doing the Pentagon Challenge, and thought I'd give it a go. I'm a little behind the times playing a game that's been around for almost 4 years, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
So, after starting a new save I thought N. America and Africa would be a good point of origin to begin the challenge. So I loaded all leagues from Mexico, USA, and S. Africa (5 total), and made myself a 25-year old unemployed Sunday League Footballer. I was expecting to start in the lower leagues of Mexico and SA, and build my reputation, so you can imagine my surprise when New England Revolution offered me a job!
Still using the 'Diablo' tactic (courtesy of SparksMasters; see my previous Honved thread), we won the MLS in the first season with an amazing 90+2nd minute goal in the final against Seattle! The following year we lost to Philly in the Eastern Conference final (they went on to win it all); but we did manage to add the U.S. Cup to our trophy case. But the biggest shock was we won the NACL beating Cruz Azul on penalties. They won the first leg 2-0, and the amazing thing was we didn't score our goals until the 71st and 77th minute in the second leg. The penalty shootout was quite the comedy of errors (lots of misses) and we scraped by 2-1 on pks.
It it is now August 2013, and the next NACL campaign is underway. It's not looking good so far as Chivas beat us 2-0 in the Groups game 1.
Because I've finished the N. American part of the pentagon I've turned off the Mexican leagues and the S. African lower league. Now that I've become a Continental manager by Reputation, and I've been successful with NE, I don't see the need to start at lower leagues. Also, I plan to add China and S. Korea, once I take Revolution to the CWC in Japan.
So, thanks for reading such a long post. I will post the videos for the NACL win over CA, and mention a few signings and key players over the last 3 seasons. Thanks for reading. I'll be back soon.
