Eternal /trb/: Football Manager General

vamos el tree lmao

>two leagues loaded
Playing on a toaster?

an actual fucking toaster could load more than that

>>plan to save as much money as possible and max out the training and youth facilities and stadium
I hope you like spending 40 years doing individual increments.

you ever find a gem in your U18 squad while managing in a database that modifies the US into a 6 tier league system?

Does it merge >our teams too?

it kills off the MLS and all the other teams in America/Canada. the only Canadians teams in it are Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Ottawa and Thunder Bay

oh yeah, should also mention this APL database also moves the top managers to every single club in the APL system. so a "meh" manager in Bilic started out with the San Diego Surf in the American Championship League. moved to Orange County in the American National Leauge. North Carolina in US Division 1 and then hung around lower mid table in the American Premier League with Tampa Bay and Indy Eleven before becoming a title contender with Portland

welp, had my influential LB get a straight red
now everything is fucked

i fucking won somehow

How much would a computer that could run a full database (700,000 players) cost?

how many leagues are you running

can you run a full database without every league? If so, only one at a time.
But I would like to do a journeyman save with every league loaded

i got 4 wins in a row. which is a new PB

What actually happens if you only load one or two leagues? Will it generate more good regens to compensate or does that not even make any sense? I think it's the latter.

i believe the well known leagues will have top flight players loaded in. i used to be able to run top 5 leagues up to the second division as 5 star performance but lately it's gone to shit. the lower leagues of non watched countries will have greyed out player names because i guess they're auto generated. best guess for journeyman save is to pick lower ranking countries and when you win a few trophies domestically add in higher ranked nation leagues. And there is also a database out there that includes every single league to the second division

All I know is that the players that are in a team when the team isn't loaded, them greyed out players, are over powered

I can't do that bcuz immersion. The game just creates new players when you load a league and they have no history prior to loading that league. I am not OCD but I like to feel 100% immersed when playing football manager and I don't think I can do that without every league loaded

i think regens appear in the league the original retired in or home nation of that player

oh and i should mention im running
Finnish First Division up
Irish First Division up
Bluefin Sport Premier Intermediate League
National League
USA Division 3 up

give me an example

If I'm playing in the premier league and China isn't loaded you won't get Chinese clubs bidding on players
If france isn't loaded the French u19 team is made up of French players in English clubs (even down to players in league one teams)
No players in Ireland exist unless they have high reputation like gavin bazunu

Basically I want to play the game with every league loaded so that the game is 100% as realistic as possible and every player is there should I want to sign them

the bidding on players is because they aren't on the transfer list
i got no clue to why the game is reacting to you that way. i don't have the French Leagues loaded and 20/21 players here are from French Clubs
and i think it's like that for Ireland because no clubs are a European contender because I checked Croatia and Dynamo has their roster fully loaded and then checked the next team which is Gorica and the player names are all greyed out

>opposing team has player sent off in the 96th minute
>media: your team defeats ten-man opposing team

You probably have a better computer than me which loads unplayable leagues in better detail.
When you are about to start a new game there's a box that says details where you can choose which players are loaded. As in, from any nation or any league or any region or certain competitions. So even though I have a large database with a couple of leagues loaded, everything else is completely empty. I went to scout an African u20 competition and most teams had about 3 players in the squad. This is why I want to run a full database, feels more real. It doesn't matter to me whether the players I'm scouting are absolute dog shit or world beaters, I would just rather have them there than not

You need the Workshop for most of these, so unless you bought it or a kind tribbler is willing to DL them and re-up them somewhere else, you're out of luck.

You can add more players when starting a save with database size. However, even if you don't load the leagues, adding more players will slow down your PC to a crawl; that's why SI recommends a 125K limit on the number of players. Also, remember that the number of players keeps increasing over time, so it will get worse.

i see what you mean by 3 players for a African country. I just looked at Madagascar my best guess is to try and set up a scouting system in said country/region you want to look in. im not fully sure how to do it or if you can. i think you gotta select a package or it's in assignments and i think world knowledge will help in that too

Generally you start scouting shit regions when you have expendable scouting slots. Which means when you've doubled (if not tripled) assignments in big regions and bought all the packages (otherwise you won't find jack shit).

Why do I lose interest every time I get a team promoted to the Premier League? 10 games in at most before I quit.

sounds like the team don't care bout you anymore or the board hate you

This is why I hate scouts. They take so long to find anybody and then 90% of the time they go 'fuck off'. Even if you had a scout program 90% of the time they go 'fuck off'.

I feel like I've played 17 to the point where I want a new version now, but dunno whether its worth paying more to get 19 over 18. Beyond the obvious new features which I can google, how are the match engines of each of them compared to 17? Is there anything meme-meta like strikerless -present in either version?

i have shed the demons of West Virginia now and clawed my meh team into top 3 now 11 points off the title and 4 points off auto promotion

>Beyond the obvious new features which I can google
Nah, you have to experience the new scouting and training system to really understand what happened. The interface for FM18 is heinous; play the demo for FM19 and see for yourself.

I forgot demos even existed, good idea user.

Scout south america, you'll likely find good replacements for around 20m each

4-4-2 Diamond.

You can't replace him 1 for 1 but that's the limited way to look at it. Im guessing that you can find 2 players who will fit your system for 40m combined and now you have a replacement and depth. Maybe you can't tear into defenses with one man anymoee but maybe you can find a defender with absurd pace and acceleration who will let you play a more agressive defensive line. And suddenly you aren't so reliant on dribbling to penetrate into that final third. You have a classic money ball problem, get creative with the solution.

No way to force him to sack his agent and drag him back to the other club and force him to sign the damn contract?

put him on double intensity training with an extra focus on endurance, make him play for reserves all the time and play him in matches that are 90% guaranteed wins to wear him out some more until he gets injured

Lads, how do you sign African and Asian teenagers if they only have under 21s caps and can't get work permit, and you have no affiliated in Belgium etc?

I have about 10 foreign players in my reserves without work permits, and it'll be another four years or so until they get one.

That's my formation too. Go with:

>increased tempo
>wide
>increased closing down
>overlapping fullbacks
>retain possession

Get an affiliate, it’s the only way.
Maybe sell the players with buy back clauses in a hope that they develop at their clubs.
Otherwise don’t bother.

Change wingers to IFs
This is mine, it’s technically a flat back four but aggressive overlapping wingbacks.
Possession
High line maximum pressing

Picked up Fabio Silva for 8mill, very good player.

Why is it in this game that after a while of playing the same formation, your players turn into brainless zombies, and the opposition seem to finish each chance into the top corner of the net.

The classic story of a match where my stikers miss 40 1v1s but the opposing team finish 2 times from edge of the box

Its almost as bad as fifa scripting the way your defenders refuse to mark players

It's kind of like real life when big teams eventually lose to a way shittier team that has the best match of the season against them

I wouldn't want to be the Antlers.

Should one sell highly touted prospects for way more than they're worth to bigger clubs, or hang onto them even though you know they won't play much?

Why wouldn't you play them or even loan them for money if they're indeed highly touted prospects that bigger clubs want to buy? Otherwise, ask for 50% of next sale.

Because the US is shit so no one will take him on loan, even for 0 wages
I can play him here and there, but he's just not good enough to get regular time yet.

Guys, why can't all players form links with their team mates? I've talked about it before in other threads, an old arcade game called WCCF allowed you to form links with your entire team so it formed shit like this. Obviously FIFA stole this idea (which is why the game got kicked out of EU).

Is it Judging Ability + Tactical Knowledge that affects the outcome of assistant managers tactical instructions for opponent players? I managed to sign a guy for my Argentinian Div.2 with 13JA and 17TK and he seems to apply more complex instructions than other managers with way lower. I mean, it's not hard to apply instructions which can really limit a team but it's easier knowing I can just hit 'auto' and it'll help.

as a lower league team is it worth

a. having a head of youth with the best stats you can afford

b. get some popular old international player with lots of rep with half decent stats to bring in players?

the one who's cheaper since you arent bringing in shit anyways

Essential staff only. It's better to use that money to improve junior coaching or facilities instead.
specially junior coaching which is in my experience the most important thing to get good regens.

how the fuck do i get into this game
there's so many things you have to keep your eye on and i feel like to proceed one week in game you have to play for like 1 hour

Once you know what you're doing, you can easily finish a season in a day, it's not even that hard. But you need experience and knowledge of the "game"
Generally it's better to start as some average/good team in a top league to learn how shit works. You can also leave some stuff to your assman so you don't feel like you're actually at work while playing FM

you can always set it so your staff do 90% of the work and then slowly take control back as you get more comfortable

I once made a team with myself in it with the people on my high school soccer team

So, I might have officially lost all reason due to how fucking painful it is to manage in Azerbaijan's second division, but I suddenly want to try and make a retarded custom DB. One of those "what if Wales was proper independent and all Welsh teams were in the WPL", but with European regions.
Someone pls give me pointers on how to start working on a custom DB like this.

How do you start making more dosh as a mid table league 1 team? Do I just need to get to playoffs to raise profile and therefore attendance?

Be successful and/or wheel and deal players.

If you're talking about stuff like catalonia and the basque country, it's a huge pain in the ass to mess with anything that touches international football in the editor

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1666839314&searchtext=catalonia

this guy's file looks like it's probably ok, then you can make a catalan national league, kick the clubs out of the spanish system and promote lower clubs to fill the gaps.

One thing that's deceptively easy is making big regional leagues (scandi, caucasus, ex-yu etc) - base the rules in one of the nations, set the other nations to non-foreign if you want foreign player limits, upscale it to about turkish or dutch rep + finances, don't forget about the stupid nation wage + transfer value tables too

all that guy has done is rename andorra

also changed nationalities for the catalan players, plus andorran names are pretty close to catalan so the "catalan" regens won't all be named Jeff Smith. It's probably the best workaround, as basic as it is

i don't think anyone makes legitimate custom nations without renaming something

Yeah but there isn't even a league. The /trb/ database is more in depth than this.

Attached: 20190403211543_1.jpg (1842x974, 208K)

its mostly to do with player and team instructions.
I would HIGHLY recommend using a DLP(D) or a equivilant holding player, ideally positioned in a place where he isnt going to be marked (cm or dm strata is the best place generally) This player acts as a safe passing option to recycle possession into when your attack breaks down or when you get pressed.

>Holland
Netherlands. Fuck you SI.

why do my players keep getting straight red cards? I have urgent pressing but I had the same tactics last season and got 1 red card the whole time. This year, 15 games in, 5 reds. fucking makes me want to break something

bunch of new players? teams that aren't familiar with each other/the tactics defend like morons, wouldn't be surprised if that leads to people getting sent off either through poor discipline or just trying to stop breaks
or it could be the old rep increase --> teams defend deeper, counterattack more, and magically play better against you now, which might especially be a problem if you don't have some kind of holding midfield player and your other guys are hacking ankles and knees when the defenders get outnumbered

They're all shit and similar. Who should I use for an advanced forward role?

Attached: Nottingham Forest_ Players Players.png (1920x1080, 179K)

probably walker or clough. setting a guy as AF seems to encourage other players to whack the ball over the defensive line for them to run onto, so despite whatever FM says about the role, being fast and a decent finisher (esp. composure) are by far the most significant things
also I would put anyone with 4 determination in a gas chamber, not your match squad, unless it's a semi-pro team and you have no choice

I'm gona go with Velios I think, purely because he's a physical beast

They may just be incompetent at it, or your tactics don't work with those instructions. OTOH, intelligent and able players will try to retain possession naturally instead of hoofing it.

lmao what a tosser
can't say it's unrealistic though, this shit happened two days ago streamable.com/hwtwr

You can't create a country from scratch. Been there, done that.

At least you can see the guy wanted to avoid the ball instead of tapping it in.

>Flopping before mid season
Nice.

Focus play through middle doesn't focus play through middle, it increases the mentality of players playing in the axis of the pitch, from the CBs to the CMs. The rest is floaty midfield magic with a BBMN that roams, a AP(S) that doesn't really hold nor move forward nor is inclined to defend, and a CM(A) who's very active, supported by a DM(S) that could be a holding role but with his Support duty has a tendency to move forward. All that with no specific pressing/defending instructions to compensate.

This tictac can work if you have very competent players who can dominate the midfield and retain possession skilfully; unlikely to be the case in English D4 mid-table (even relative to the opposition).

And in the shitfest that was this final I found my first treble on this save. Only took me up to season 2023/24. But by god, what a shitty fucking final, literally no highlights outside of the goal and one freekick that the gk saved

Feels like I'm in an old war sitting in the front lines for ages.

So hard to sign anyone or even get loan players because of semi-pro status seems to be a really big turn off in this version.

I kind of like the two-tone purple on the pacific fc shirt

Couldn't they just merge with the MLS and force the MLS to adopt non-retarded format rules?

tfw FM has sapped all your manhood away, so you fall back to a 5-3-2 DM, and just torture every team you play into a draw or a 1-0 W/L. At least I'll get to keep Torquay in the VNL at the end of the day.

My guy, the CPL season is divided into two, non-identical-length splits.

Isn't it running a system like South America for the time being?

Yeah. Spring/Fall splits, champion of each playing in the grand final. If the same club wins both, highest aggregate finisher plays instead.

What clear cut chances for/against ratio would say say is a good goal for your tactic?

Deserved 2bh

i've got a 15 yo midfielder with low Determination
if I had my 19 yo midfielder tutor him would his age make the tutoring less effective than say a 25-30 player tutoring him?

not necessarily, but I could be wrong. I think it's more about player reputation (ie. how seriously the young guy takes the ""old"" guy), so being older probably helps, but there are other ways to get there
that said I think the 19 year old would have to be your captain for this to work

brb putting "Canadian Premier League Apertura Champion" on my resume

ah ok

I'm getting in an u19s coach with really high mental coaching and motivation as I heard that helps and I think I'll try to bring in an older midfielder solely for tutoring as this kid seems like he could be really good for me in the future

>4-4-2

low tempo + no counterattacking means your main source of attack (in the eyes of your retarded FM-brained players) is hoofing it up to berggreen, which is relatively simple for the AI to defend.
try giving your >wingers more license to go forward, and maybe increasing your tempo - doesn't have to be permanently, you can move it up and down during the game depending on whether you want to maintain possession or attack

Thoughts on my system?

not bad
my barca/pep tactic is quite similar

That's what I'm going for, though for my entire FM career I've played low possession counter tactics so I'm not entirely sure if what I'm going is optimal

I am actually a dumb, those instructions are not the default ones. Normally a PF(A) is there since it's the GOAT FM19 role. Still having some troubles as of late with having my strikers scoring after Seferovic scored 15 goals in the first half of the season. I have an inkling it's a mix of those low crosses and not having them work it into the box. What do you think is preferable, a IW(A)-CM(S)-CM(D)-WP(S) midfield line, or a IW(S)-CM(A)-CM(D)-WP(S)? In both attempts, the CM(A) or (S) would have take more risks as an instruction.
