Alright guys, settle in. So yesterday I was messing around in FIFA Career Mode with Arsenal, right? Felt like something was missing down that right side. Needed a proper crosser, someone with magic in their boots. And then it hit me – what about Becks?
Getting Started (The Dream)
Fired up the console, loaded my Arsenal save. Scrolled straight to the transfer hub. Typed “Beckham” into the search… nothing. Nada. Zilch. Panic mode for a sec! Then I remembered – duh, icon cards aren’t just hanging out in free agents. Had to jump into the “Import Icons” menu thingy. Scrolled down… David Beckham – LA Galaxy version, rated like 85 or something? Yeah, that’ll do.
Imported him instantly. Felt good already.
Making Him Actually Sign (The Struggle)
Okay, now the fun part – getting him to agree. Went straight to “Approach to Sign”. Offered him a contract. Initial reaction? He wasn’t super keen. “Considering other options” or some rubbish. Look, Becks, it’s Arsenal. Legendary club! Sort it out.
- First Offer: Slapped down £100k a week. Role? “Important Player”. Length? Two years. Hit submit… spinner spins… NOPE. Rejected. He wanted more cash, greedy sod. Or maybe just unsure.
- Fine, Fine: Upped it. £150k a week. “Crucial Player” role this time. Still two years. Held my breath… spinner… YES! Deal agreed. Boom.
Massive relief. Icon secured.
Putting Him to Work (The Fun)
Slotted him straight into the starting XI. Right midfield position. Gave him instructions: “Hug the touchline” and “Get into box for cross”. Basically told him: “Becks, do your thing, mate.”
First game: Couple of nice passes. Felt classy. But… fitness? Gotta be careful. Old man legs now! Put him on some intense fitness training. Ran him into the ground basically. Needed that stamina.
The Payoff (The PURE JOY)
Few games in… Free kick. Right outside the box. Perfect Becks territory. Moved the aiming cursor, just off-centre. Held down the shoot button… watched the run-up… BAM! Curled it beautifully over the wall, keeper nowhere near it. SCREAMER.
Felt like cheating. But honestly? Felt flipping amazing. Exactly why I signed him. That magic moment.
So yeah, signing Becks in Career Mode? Bit of a fight getting him, training his legs up… but worth every single penny for moments like that free kick. If you wanna have some pure fun, go get him. Doesn’t feel real playing Arsenal without a bit of golden generation magic!
