How true is the unhappy with training=not reaching potential?

More often than not, it means the player doesn't have the Professionalism to get there, but it's not the only factor.

Haven't played a new FM in years. About to move straight from 13' to 18'.

What should I expect, lads?

It's FM16. He should be downloading a FM version that doesn't suck dicks first.

Ugly regens

No sliders. Pointless staff advice. More complaints. Hoofball.

B-b-but I enjoyed 16

Doesn't mean it's good. Hell, I've enjoyed watching some WTA tennis matches. Some.

Some regens can be sweet eyecandy too

>No sliders.

Literally the reason I've been playing 13' for 6 years.

Also the new "social groups" feature, how bad is it? Should I just adopt a nationalist signing policy or does it barely make a difference?

>lso the new "social groups" feature, how bad is it?

it does do some stuff and it's kind of neat, but in practice the social groups tend to be so fluid that there's no point in focusing on dealing with them

this is what mine looks like now, less than 2 weeks ago "secondary social group a" was totally different and "secondary social group b" was serbian-speakers.

Seems like a good lad, doesn't feel the need to be part of the herd, just wants to get on with his job

It was already pretty much in the game, this just gives you more upfront information about signings who might struggle to fit in and get homesick

whats actually an effective defensive avoid relegation formation in 19, I've had real trouble getting 3atb to work as well as on the last fm I played

(also I miss being able to play a sweeper and 3 stopper cbs, that shit worked)

asking again for names for my racing team (with tungsten too) themed on trb

this is my go-to for busparking, works well enough. lower the pressing intensity for all defenders, raise it for attackers. put the WBs on defend if they're playing with 3 strikers.

Attached: file.png (1920x1200, 280K)

for me it was a short love. you pretty quickly figure out what works and what doesn't, and how random the game is.
you could argue that it's a reflection of reality in that regard but it definitely takes away from the experience, that you can play the same game two times, once with your tactics and once completely without instructions or tactics of any kind, and do better the second time.

but for a couple of months after you buy it, you'll see yourself becoming an actual autist. taking over a club in trouble and turning the situation around. signing the perfect players. celebrating blooters and important goals, talking shit to the AI at the presser.
it consumes you and the hours fly by, everything is great.
then comes the drought. the great depression.
you've lost interest in your save and starting a new one just isn't appealing. enter: the first break.

eventually you come back with renewed energy. but you'll follow the pattern untill the breaks become more frequent and you quit saves as soon as a regen scores a goal against you, or you see 'that' replay where you know you're about to get some bullshit against you in an important game during a period where half your team are out for months.
one day it'll all just be too much. you wont quit in a fit of rage. you wont even notice you quit. you'll just forget the game even exists.

it's a strong love affair. new, fresh, exciting. lots of ups and downs. but it fades as suddenly as it starts. for you it'll mean going from young, witty Mourinho to old, angry mourinho sticking to that one tactic that hasn't worked for months, and making every player hate you.
if you think the high will outweigh the low then go for it m8.

Nah you're just weak minded
I've been playing for 10 years now and have put in 500 hours on each edition minimum, the only time I've made breaks was when I got into League and into CS

i know this feel all too well

he's been good for me, becomes a good Championship-level DC. Him and Clarke have been a really good pairing for me so far.

>you could argue that it's a reflection of reality in that regard
I would argue it is not

As you said, in FM you can figure out what works and what doesn't, and why, meanwhile real football is basically a game of chance in which you can think you've figured things out, but you really haven't

You've nailed it on everything else tho.
I'll also add that once I've fallen out of love with my save and fucked around with other failed saves, I won't touch the game for 2 or 3 years

I don't see how this contradicts what he said
I'm well over 500h on 19 and I can feel myself losing interest in it
I assume by May I'll have stopped playing it

Its normal to go into negative balance even if you don't use all of your transfer or payroll budgets going from L1 to the Championship, right? I've had to give a few players new contracts to keep the big boys away from them too.

I mean I'm in December of the season already, the board seem to be happy with our financial status even though our balance is the red so I guess the TV money and whatever from being in the Championship now is gonna put me back up?

Fuck me at least my Colombian CDM can cover for it.

I misread your initial post, thought you meant negative in terms of your allowed budget
yes, it's very normal to go into debt in the middle of the season. just make sure you don't have a bunch of future fees hanging over you (eg. transfers paid for via future installments) and you'll probably be fine, although the board might try to tighten things up a little next season

Liverpool showing how op "get stuck in" is

Alright just played 12 straight hours of 18' for the first time and I actually kind of like it. The sexy passes are especially arousing and they make me want to play with a quadruple pivot.
Worst part so far is the sheer amount of 1 on 1s that end with the player just blasting the ball about 10 yards wide of the post.

Tictac creator is dogshit too. Got so annoyed with green bars that I had to check:
AI manager tictacs are still technically done in the "classic" design. Pep gets to have that sweet 1 - 20 number while I'm stuck with lower-higher-inbederp

>Worst part so far is the sheer amount of 1 on 1s that end with the player just blasting the ball about 10 yards wide of the post.
Same with headers. I don't think I've scored a corner header in my 4 seasons so far

dunno what happened but I didn't have routines set up in 19 and like half way through the season the game just stopped putting anyone from my team near the six yard box

Me neither, about 15 games in. The offsides are crazy too. Did get 1 assist from a near post flick on, though.
Also how do I stop getting 15 offsides per game?

my striker with 20 off the ball movement still is offside like 10 times a game no matter who we play

Pigeon cam

Is it possible for a player to refuse to be substituted in FM?

based

don't think so. worst you'll get is a line in the commentary like "... and [player] doesn't look happy!"
which is presumably accompanied by a morale drop but I've never checked. only happens if the guy is a complete shithead and you're subbing him off in the first half, from what I've seen

Currently playing the "World upside down" database on 18. It destroys the reputation of every club and every league in the world and relegates all professional clubs to non-league and replaces them with non-league clubs. 3 seasons in and the fucking Paddies are the best league in the world (1 1/2* rep rating). Tain Thistle are the best club in the world, after Minehead (my team), who are about to win their first Champions League

It's fun but way too easy. The AI have about 100m in the bank but rely on free transfers of ex-North/South players, meanwhile I'm poaching the entire u19 English team

denmark is fun, i did a save in '17 with horsens which was fun

It's my first time; I don't want something too small

In one save Catania (managed by Rolando Maran) won the league in the very first season with a colossal 71 points and 52 goals scored. Then signed Kevin Strootman, consistently hit end-of-season winning streaks to get CL football for the next 3 years, reached the CL semi final. In season 5, he won the coppa italia, but finished 8th and got sacked immediately afterwards.
Its the most bizarre thing I've seen in FM. Their star player was Gonzalo Bergessio.

Just guessing based on real world but inters probably the easier starter club

ac might have pretty high expectations compared to resources

Cagliari

I take the opposite view, start with something small and use lots of lube

inter if you're from auckland and an all-around shit human being

milan if big brain or southern island or both

Nothing exceptional as far as I remember. But it didn't hold very well past that date, of course. Man Utd could not avoid winning PL 99% of the time on FM18.

exactly the reason, i got one who looks amazing but every fucking game he plays badly, now I can't get rid of the fucker because he won't leave

Also, if the guy that told some time ago that you stop accumulating money after 1.3 B is around here, you were right laddie

I was at 1.45B, and when I got my new budgets for the new season, money had evaporated and I was at 1.3B.
The directors only took 17M for themselves so that's not where it went either

That's rough
My guy's here on loan so thankfully my headache is almost over

I really, really, really like the training update in 2019. Let's me get my autism all out.

Reasonable coaching attributes, reasonable scouting attributes, a good personality, and decent man management.

I can only imagine that's a safeguard to prevent people from overflowing the integer holding the amount of money you had. That used to be possible, and one day you'd have 2.147b and go to sleep, and wake up with -2.147b

Kinda dumb considering FM already values some clubs at over one billion shekels.

A club can be valued at 1b GBP and not have a cent to their name.

Wait, could I use my transfer budget to buy a club ?

Sure, but that's not where I was going with it. It shows that FM is already used to deal with such orders of magnitude. If it already values a club at 1B, it wouldn't be far fetched to value another one at 1.5B over time.

Rotten Bull pls.

My problem here was that I couldn't display all the info I wanted to show on my screen at once, would that have helped ?

I'm saying that a club being valued at 1B can have almost no actual money, your issues is with actual money after 1.3B disappearing.
Or at least that's what I understood.

It has a combine images vertically or horizontally feature.

My issue is whether or not FM can deal at all with money or valuations over 1.5B. If it only applies to cash in bank, annoying but why not. If it's everything, that's more problematic.

>It has a combine images vertically or horizontally feature.
Yeah well Paint does too

Try it at the very least. It's as cheap as Mr. Janitor's wages.

For a club that shares youth facilities with one in a higher division via an affiliate that terminates if they're in the same league what happens when they get promoted up? Do they end up with the worst facilities possible or something?

>Do they end up with the worst facilities possible or something?

Usually, you go back to your old shitty facilities

Cheers, probably won't affect what club I pick but I'll at least save a year of upgrading if I pick one without an affiliate

Was struggling to pick a turkish club but I just found out about the kurish team who got banned for winning a cup game so I'm going for them

middleeasteye.net/news/kurdish-club-becomes-political-football-it-chases-turkish-cup-dream

Unfortunately it doesn't matter at all in game because the players just show up as turkish, so you don't even get as much uniqueness as playing as an arab club in israel.

Make your bets

No huge surprise in the group phase. Maybe Portugal eliminated in a group with Senegal and Saudi Arabia.

You get something like 14M€ straight away, 1.5M€ if you win a match, 500k€ if you draw and some bonus TV money at the end of the season. It's just not worth it.

I mean home stadiums are always filled with fucking tourists and spectators, not necessarily fans (who tend to be in the corners of the stadium or behind the goals because it's cheaper). If you want to gauge how strong your following is, you need away matches because only fans will care enough to travel to away ties.

They do have passionate fans who simply do not live near Monaco, people spread here and there in France.

Why do you have six key players wtf

If it happens more than once in five years either you're doing something wrong in preseason in regards to monitoring player condition or your team is just very susceptible to injury or both

More than key players they're "really good players for a newly promoted team whose back-ups are trash compared to"

How accurate are the "Could be the next X" descriptions? The regens with those media descriptions usually tend to be pretty good for me, but they don't usually end up as the player they're compared to.

it just means fairly similar pa and same nationality and position
it's no guarantee they'll actually develop and hit that potential

I think it mostly refers to his stature as well as some chosen attributes. It doesn't necessarily mean that he has great potential. Many quick strikers at around 175 cm will be "the next Michael Owen.

Depends of his standing in the club. He could be the best player but get zero respect.

Not really because they're based on stuff like pic related: a vague description, an height and a rating. I've had a SK described as the next Neuer even though while good, he had nowhere near the potential.

So pretty much .

I have the same experience with ukrainians
I mean, I don't need a striker that much. Offered 18m+5m over 12 months, if they reject I'm not pushing further.

Oh yeah, Ukrainians are expensive too. Youth farm leagues like Croatia, Ukraine or Romania tend to have expensive players because there's no other way to get money... aside from corruption when you're GNK Dinamo.

Positional ratings (which are basic 1-20 scores where 18+ is natural) are supposed to degrade over time (not including their defined-in-the-database natural positions).

I can only imagine he's got such awful learning skills that the amount he's gaining isn't outpacing the automatic decline.

So if a player is naturally a ST but plays as a AMR for his entire career, he may slowly start to forget how to play AMR and eventually be useless there? Thanks Miles

Position familiarity isn't as important as you think it is, unless you're talking about a centerback or center mids. Being out of position is just a penalty to decisions, and unless you have no familiarity with the position at all it's a very small penalty.

Just realized turkish team + only muslim players is a decent challenge idea

Being able to sign any German, french, or English player isn't much of a challenge

Thank you

No, Championship is where the cheese longballs over the top ends. Best thing to do is look for loans from PL clubs or other top teams in Europe to survive for a year or two while you build up your team.

first one is at 86%, the second one is at 83%, that doesnt seem enough to justify a difference of 0.21 in the average rating tBh

any advice when it comes to tictac then? Should I just park the bus?

best rating my GK got was an 8.2 in a game I won 10-0 where he faced 1 (one) shot not on target

Trial every freegen from the top two tiers from the top five league, try to sign anyone who's willing to come whos an improvement, fill in the gaps with loans and pray to jesus your tictacs still hold

You can go counter for when you're expected to get smoked, but I usually played on standard. I've found that restraining creativity and going to a more rigid system is better when you have less talent

Whatever allows you to retain possession and waste time.

Just 4-1-4-1
A proper anchor man will stop most attacks, anything more defensive is suicide in my experience

Cool. What offensive role is best for the striker? I usually play 2 up top, Target Man support and DLF attack. Would a TM to just hoof it to work?

>Would a TM to just hoof it to work?
See . What are you on? If he's up alone and you hoof it, the ball will come back faster than you got it out.

The water is fixed!

what is the deal with the british and their constant boiler problems?

But i want to scalp a 1-0. Would playing possession up the pitch work for it then?

Traditionally they're old, cheap and not equipped to deal with the winters we used to have (school ones used to freeze solid) but this one was a case of it being fitted wrong. The clock blew up lol

It is good for employment, I guess. Everything seemed to fall apart for the year I lived there, so it does keep the wheels of society going.

If you think you can get a win, no matter how small the margin, I wouldn't bother parking the bus. You'd park when you're completely sure that a draw is the best possible outcome and that defeat is acceptable considering the relative strength of the two teams. Obviously that doesn't mean you're going to play gung-ho, but there's a difference between playing conservatively and parking the bus.

Here's a fun one: like every other week in manchester the tram shuts down because somebody parks their car on the tracks

But England doesn't even have winter's
How garbage is your plumbing that it falls apart at 5° with a light drizzle?

I use a DLF and set the wingers to attack.
Very often sneak a win or get a 1-1 from a counter.

imagine your favourite cb was a ball playing one, gimme that classy mentals mixed with physicals over technical ability any day

Imo it is a conspiracy of plumbers doing poor work to get 5 annual assignments per househould instead of none.

Italian and wages.

long throws with a guy who isn't actually good enough to throw it into the box are suprisingly effective

it's basically a free cross

Haven't played since 2015. Which is the best one to pick up?

>roughly 1 goal in 2
>average rating above 7
I agree that given his abilities he should be doing better, but bear in mind that's more or less FM's standard for a striker who's doing fine

>have 3 different corner routines with different deliveries set up for both sides
>only seem to take short ones in games
>even seen 2 or 3 in a row from the same side that all went short

help?

His traits are a fucking nightmare. MIC & PWBTG don't really play well together in the first place, and neither really suits this guy. TFTS would be OK on its own but it's not something I'd want a player to do when they're in the channels with their back to the goal.

Short-term: I don't know which role you currently have him on but I'm guessing Complete Forward? If so, try switching him to pure Poacher to see if those instructions get him to cut out the silly shit and focus on scoring.

Mid-term: Train him out of PWBTG. He's not brave and hard-working enough to provide a target at that level and he's not creative enough to receive the ball deeper and make chances.

Long-term: He can probably get away with Moves Into Channels because he's intelligent and mobile enough to make space for others, but if you want him to be your main goal-scorer it is taking away from that.

he tried to discuss personal matters after the fucking game lol

Im still playing fm15 is it worth it to upgrade to 19

lol the other striker doesn't think he deserves to start

thanks man, i was playing as a complete forward yes but I'll try your suggestions see if it helps his performances, he's very inconsistent
he plays well for two games then have ten shit ones

no

long throws are better now

piratebay has a good copy of FM18

Not one season without someone slipping.

what on earth would he need either of those for

work rate too high

>Rodgers replaces Puel at Leicester
>Neil fucking Lennon back at Celtic

top lel

Rodger's time basically confirmed that Celtic's board have no interest in doing anything more than winning the spl and occasionally making the cl

They had that great domestic year and solid group stage and then backed it up with nothing in the summer, not surprising nobody wants to go there.

Workrate is second most important attribute next to determination mate, even for autismo tapin merchants

I'll miss listening to Lennon's voice as a pundit.

you clearly misunderstand workrate

training update is cool

Regen faces look like absolute shit, stick to 16 at the latest imo

16 has worse faces and match engine than 19

>tfw :(

Attached: fm.jpg (1920x1080, 367K)

match engine possibly, but regen faces are waaaaaaay better in 16

16 ruined them you absolutely mongoloid
If you enjoy aliens with hair clipping through head, with crazed bug eyed stares and a forehead you could land a 777 on, then 16 is for you. 19 might look like they hired a tumblr cartoon artist but it's a fuck ton better than someone playing with presets in a 3d editor for the very first time

How many of those would you be keen to keep?

I need help on changing my tactics. I've been using some bus parking, but lately changed to a counter based attack against weaker teams, yet failed to score.

I have no idea on how to progress

My crystal ball is in the shop, you'll need to post a screenshot for me to see your tactics.

sign a good corner/free kick taker
make sure your attacking corner instructions involve a couple of tall players getting close to the goal

Play two BWM(s) in central midfield

this shit game's fucking rigged fuck this shit

>Wingers and Wingbacks
For what purpose?

>Very Defensive, 1 (one) player with an Attacking Duty
This is probably why you're not scoring.

Your overall mentality needs to be at least a little more adventurous and the player duties are probably too conservative too. Assuming that your Wingbacks have the quality to get forward and cross, you should make some room for them to do that. The lowest impact is to switch your Wingers over to Inverted Wingers (Attacking). Aside from freeing the Wingbacks, this will push those players up to help your TM. If that doesn't make sense for personnel reasons, you should at least play a CM who will get into the box - CM(A), BBM, etc - with the right abilities to make a difference there.

I'll try messing around with my tactics. Thanks mate. Still new to this, so getting used to everything

Read OP. Guides selected by me. Good shit.

What kind of description is that?

Attached: wow.png (201x60, 5K)

To be honest, I find the guides in the OP aren't the best. guidetofm.com has a better presentation and is a coherent work rather than just a collection.

I've only ever seen Werner with that description

Rugo Homo

does brexit always happen immediately in fm19?

guessing I can only exploit it for profits after it's happened this time around

Yeah, doesn't seem like you can reload and get a different result or delay it forever like in 18

Just gonna have to look out for mediocre english kids released on a free then

no

its also about the quality of the opposition though

Having 50% possession and not even getting a single shot is pretty impressive

You need to sign some mechanics and posties

fuck you /trb/ for getting me addicted to this game

>stop playing striker who was moaning about playing time (whilst playing)
>he drops his concern
lol

I'm about to jump ship at the end of the group stage. I won 6 trophies in 2 seasons in Iceland and made the club 20 million USD in profit. I'm content to be done with Iceland.

The first hundred hours are free. After that, you're paying with your life.

Pretty sure MiniFridge made Stjarnan CL winners so just know you've failed Iceland if you quit now.

No, he abandoned them and went to England before winning the cl with them.

someone make a new thread im going a bed

SHANT be going to England though, that's absolute sellout territory

Has ANYONE figured out how to use a fucking number 10?

Is it just worthless If i'm not a top 3 club in a top league?

You have to fit the role into your broader tactical plan, but there are many ways to do it.

I use Advanced P all the time, just get a pacey lad with flair, first touch, passing, dribbling, long shots

I have an enganche sitting behind two inside forwards and an advanced forward
