>assertively tell striker at f/t that his 6.2 performance wasn't good enough
>seemed relaxed
What pitch size would you recommend if I play 4411 shorter passing? In the description none particularly states it would favour shorter passing style.
I'd say short length but it says it will cause a lot of congestion so maybe not?
Keep current because it's the standard pitch size, and if your tictacs don't work on a regular pitch just thrash them. Except if you're a massive chump that would be lucky to stay up; then yes, you need every inch you can have.
>fminside.net
That said, short isn't always best, since it also makes the opposition congested towards their goal and harder to break through.
depends on your stature vs the other teams in the league, and how you expect to be scoring goals. generally I go for narrow if my team is shit and I want to restrict what opponents can do with the overlap, or wide if we have one of the better teams and want to use that space; long if we have fast forwards and want to counterattack, maybe short if you want to play hoofball although I haven't really tried that.
but whatever you do, don't pick "short and wide," you'll want to kys every game because play turns into complete chaos
Do I sign this lad?
wheres the database with a hundred extra leagues and competitions added
Well his Vision and improvable Passing somewhat compensate his inability to stretch his arms and reach out for the ball... but if you're in FM17 his Vision will inexplicably decrease over time for no reason. I'd sign him but he needs tutoring, you can't have a GK that's not determined: you don't want him to flop whenever he concedes.
I would. he needs a lot of work but he's pretty close to being a real sweeper-keeper, which is rare for FM regens

hmm I just asked my board to fix the youth and training facilities and its my first year so they said no. should I leak it to the press
Depends of the reason they game you and how expensive it would be for them to sack you. In other words, 90% of the time you don't get your way and you'll have to pipe down or quit the club.
well, I am managing a second league team in Uruguay where the youth facilities are poor and the game told me i should ask them to fix it. Their answer was, "you havent been here very long. Work with what you have now."
It's probably garbage for a reason, like poor finances. Use your brain user.
>Use your brain user.
Check his flag before you make that request of him.
Hey this is the first time I was told to ask my board to do this shit alright i assumed that my assistant coach would know the club has no money and not give me shit advice.

next year is our year, la
The year we enter the second phase of .500/8th seed purgatory SUPERMAX edition
A couple of the shitty contracts finally expire after this coming season, and the big shitty Batum contract the season after that. A couple of the young guys could break out this year. We woulda been 6-8th seed last season but literally nobody rests their stars against us, only against Magic/Nets/Pistons so they got free wins. We'll be 5th or 6th next year lad.
Also I can't tell if you're a fan of my hornies or not
I am /buzz/ senpai. I like Monk and Bridges (alot more) but neither will be ready before Kemba is like 34 making a gorillion dollars and we can actually make legit moves toward contention

Do you guys use a large player database?

Do these stats ever increase besides coaching badges? Irish league finishes in October and my club is always negative funds by then so I can't ever go on them...meaning I have to join a lesser club in order to advance my reputation etc
mmm
Coaching increases with badges, Mental mostly with reputation and experience. Which is why you always put 20 in Discipline, Man Management and Determination (and might as well put the rest in Motivating): if you want to have some kind of a grip on the club and squad, it starts there. Don't worry, players will still moan.

I still haven't had an unbeaten season, I think. it's definitely the league's fault for fixture congestion and not just my lazy tactics.
I ran out of leftbacks following the cup game and their goal came through a hopeful long ball to the winger on that side. yes I was mad

Been having cravings for months. Just got into a new save. God help me.
Went with FC Roskilde of the Danish NordicBet Liga (second division). Always wanted to take a nordic region to Europe.
Lads I'm kind of confused on how the Mezzala role works. If I'm playing a 4123 what wide men would suit the mezzala, wingers or inside forwards?
haha fun game :)
Perhaps you should actually watch how they move during friendlies some more.

it's going to be heartbreaking when we choke the 2nd half
have no idea how: A) we only scored two, and B) how their GK made 16 (sixteen) saves and only got a 6.9 rating
how do i fix this shit? all my games involve 16 players in the opponent box pushing eachother until someone shoots it wide
*loses the dressing room*
I find if you just aggressively gaslight your squad they respond well.
maybe increase tempo, especially if you have a fast player or two up front. try to create a chance before the opponent's defenders get into position.
maybe try adjusting your set piece (esp. corner) routines too, and/or using a better set piece specialist
but you're always going to see a bit of that stuff no matter what you do, that's just how FM works, largely to balance out the fact that defending is unrealistically poor and too many chances are created

BEWARE BLOGPOST:
After leading Drogheda Utd favourites for relegation to 4th (out of 10), the following season I was languishing in 10th, given an ultimatum by the board to get 6 points in 5 games and out of nowhere in awful form spanked bohemians 5-1 in the senior cup semi-final and decided to resign on a little high.
Shamrock Rovers who are 9th above my former team offering me the job. From a club with one league title to 17. Very nice career move from an unemployed sunday league start.
holy shit the club is in a mess. Like with drogheda I'll never be able to do coaching badges and progress my guy
shamrock rovers start with an overall situation that's insanely far beyond their naturally sustainable state iirc because they're paying like three times as much to players than even the other irish 'pro' clubs (which are always teetering on the edge themselves)
but the higher overall budget (even if it's gotten fucked compared to where it probably started at) and reputation means you're gonna get a chance to sign players that wouldn't touch the smaller clubs and it's still ultimately the same as every club in this type of european league, just make a good europa league run and that problem goes away
gentlemen... i think i've found my new save
Now that's a fucking trophy
Haven't managed in the Netherlands for ages, what's a cool Dutch club? I'm thinking Sparta Rotterdam but would appreciate suggestions
De Graafschap; solely because it's my local team
FC Utrecht is a potential powerhouse, sub-top
Willem II has a nice history and fanbase, did pretty well this season.
PEC Zwolle is a high potential lower ranking team
Also, De Graafschap is actually a challenge
I found this out in fm15 I think. took them over just after promotion to the eredivisie a few seasons into the save
>negative budget
>about 14 non-amateur players

Yeah, they suck, sadly. Always in a financial pickle and players that come and go due to contract options (free to leave after relegation, for example)
They have great fans though, always a great atmosphere and high attendance.

I mean I have saves I'm playing, I just can't decide which one I want to play because I go through seasons slow as shit and playing 2-3 saves at once just isn't that viable.

There's a Sanmarinese club in the Italian league system that might be easier to do that with. San Marino Calcio are in Serie D, and you'll need to download a database for it but it would certainly work better than a club in the San Marino leagues.
Done that before but not ideal. you end up having to focus a lt on foreign players to get to the top and stay there. my goal here is to slowly increase the level of the entire nation

FM19 is too easy. I started a new game with MILLWALL played 4-4-2 and I have only lost 1 match 30 games into the season. Currently top of the championship by 5 points. Ridiculous. My tactics consist of kicking it long to the 194cm Tom Elliot target man who lays it off to my main striker, and scoring from set pieces - my players are all shit and we beat Man Utd 2-1 at home in the FA cup. What a joke.

Honestly if you are going to do an Italian save at all, get the 'Fusion Database' version from an italian FM site. By far the best >user database I have ever seen. Has name changes, proper kits, logos, stadium, point penalties to teams, proper finances, squads, rules and a lot more.
For example they've recently added all the 5th tier kits which is an insane amount of kits. They run the database through a facebook site you have to be a member of. A quick google should find the page.

The most worrying detail about the video is that the guy looks like me without beard and 'stache.
You update the skin
I do it constantly with outdated logos and kits... which made me realize I'll have to add another hundred logos since Prima Categoria teams completely lack them.

You literally just put it in the kits folder and give it a config file pointing the picture towards the unique id of the team. simple as..
So, fired up Fusion DB
And FM is stuck on "Finding manager targets"

Well yeah. FM is well known to respond mostly if not only to frequency and decent IPC. Between a 4C/4T CPU clocked at 5.0GHz (silicon lottery delidded 6600K/7600K) and a 6C/12T 4.0GHz CPU (Ryzen 1600X with slight OC), FM will prefer the dead corelet platform.
Also, FM19 is well known for being shit at loading if you have user dbs, especially uncompressed ones, especially with early FM19 versions.
>Especially with early FM19 versions
>Stuck with 19.1 because later updates break the DBs
Miiiiiileeeeeeeees
Get your hands on a version of the pre-game Editor. The latest version(s) compress the db again. It had been disabled early in FM19, but now it's back. Otherwise you can also edit the "comp editor.fmf" file with the Resource Archiver to make data compression available again for early Editor versions, and save every db file again. I did both.
This reminds me of the Burger Kings, Trumpet Blues, and Wild Wing Ducks sweaters from the mid-90s.

What else should I have expected, fuckers made Juve change their shirts into those abominations they have now.
What does the 19.3 change from 19.1? Still have to make an italian save and I'll probably make one with this update
Unfortunately St Louis never wore them. Hours before the first game they were slated to wear them Mike Keenan (Blues head coached) walked into the dressing room, saw them, and immediately vetoed their use.
They really are all awful though.

oh please give us another penalty, dont worry we're gonna shoot it out of the stadium again

Will do as soon as possible if allowed to
Something I don't quite understand about DBs though is how they level stuff out. The amateur levels of the Italian pyramid (although I am very much sure Promozione and Eccellenza are semi-professional based on bar talks and how it'd make more sense so it'd be 3-3-3) are all the same, there's a massive gap on the surface between Eccellenza and Serie D (and then Serie D and Serie C), and the regens you're given at the beginning of the season are bad and you end up replacing them with players who are literally ten times better.
The fuck, yo?
>De Vito
now that's probably a nephew of some ndrangheta boss
No Riinas to sign though D:
Serious talk though, Prima Cat. Molise might be outdated. Isernia has two teams as of Current Year, one of them is Aesernia in Prima Cat. and yet the game still lists Macchia d'Isernia as a team.
How do you miss the English world cup team with these stats?
I don't know
Ask anyone with a shred of talent how they missed Italy under Ventura
Reminder Pellè will forever be based for telling him to fuck off
It was under Piolo kek, is this something he would pull?
Piollo would honestly pull it off people with pure shithead attitudes. If he and Della Valle were locked in a room together he'd go straight for the jugular.
Also Piollo managing England what
Lippi managing the US in my save was atleast realistic
Because he isn't English?
>The amateur levels of the Italian pyramid (although I am very much sure Promozione and Eccellenza are semi-professional based on bar talks
leagues where players getting paid under the table, which is obviously most top 'amateur' leagues/clubs in every sport, have always been represented as amateur in fm because apart from anything else it would probably expose SI to some shit to admit otherwise
>there's a massive gap on the surface between Eccellenza and Serie D (and then Serie D and Serie C), and the regens you're given at the beginning of the season are bad and you end up replacing them with players who are literally ten times better.
the weirdness is because the game and the engine are just straight-up not designed and never been designed to go below pretty much the Conference North/South and equivalents re: player skill, and even at that sort of level it's kinda dubious. player Current Ability is so low that differences pretty much come down to weird outliers in terms of attributes rather than raw CA or anything resembling it. it's always been that way though. i think some similar games in the sports sim market manage it through having scaling systems where the scale under the hood is 1-100 for attributes, but they only show 1-20 or similar and it's weighted and randomised based on your club's size and scouting department (i think Eastside Hockey Manager does this, i know Out of the Park Baseball does it), but SI have always stuck to their guns with keeping it at 1-20 on the back end
>Paid under the table
With the sheer amount of decaded "noble" teams in the lower tiers, the GdF would rape the entire system if they didn't declare the money they played. It is basically nothing to the point everybody has a second job (see: Luxembourg), but still enough to count as semi-pro.

Stay close to my dad during my "formative years" AKA that moment in life when you're a gigantic fag (in Yea Forums terms) AKA until it was time to go to uni, at which point no buts or ifs I was going back home to flip off visting Romans and tell them Amatriciana and Flaiano will always belong to us.
Trust me, after a handful of years you'll want to fuck back off home. I specifically picked a career path that let me make SURE I either stayed here or moved as little as possible. Worst case scenario implies moving to Gaeta, and that's the worst case scenario.
that’s actually pretty cool, i feel like it’s kinda normal that after a while you’d want to go back but getting a job in italy for what you’ve studied is really frickin gay, so my choice would be to fuck off and stay fucked
I feel like wanting to move back home after uni is truly a uniquely Italian thing. I love my parents, but I go to a school that is in a bigger city 4 hours from where they live, and will probably move further away when I graduate.
we have a good reason to miss home and that’s food tBh, but i wouldn’t ruin my career just to eat cheeki carbonara made by mama
What's the most useless role?
I'm hesitating between Ramdeuter and Treq on the wing

Great kit, I own the Pescara one by Pienne
I did say it was mostly people from the fourth year of Liceo.
And yeah, I legit had to keep myself in check with AS. Mostly because I know some students who would've LOVED to handle the small booth unis get at these vents (myself included but nonnismo forbids me from doing anything until fourth or fifth year), and yet they let these retards handle it.
Based as fuck. Not the results the shirt. The results are Miles as fuck.
rip i didnt read it was the younger fags, but really why is AS allowed to do anything, at all
look at the election results for muh unimi lmao work.unimi.it
Anybody here remember Football Manager Live? I wish it was back, bros. I had several teams. Sporting Lesbian FC and some other one I forget. I signed Pato in one of them in my starter team when his value dropped to like 475k when you had 500k to make the team. He never became amazing despite my high coaching skills. I signed a wonderkid Lithuanian who got pretty good for my youth team. I miss it so much. Part of me remembers it being a dream.
>Why is AS "X"
A question for the ages.
You haven't seen the elections in Abruzzo though
L'Aquila - 1800 votes, 80%
Teramo, 200 votes, 65%
Chieti-Pescara, 900 votes, 70%
I guess they're allowed because we're the only retarded town where they won. Or they're in good graces with the fuckheads who want to shut this place down.
>Sporting Lesbian
KEK
tbf our local dutchfag said he wanted to hold an MP game but it was a mess to plan? It'd be top kino honestly
I always used to call my teams Sporting Lesbian FC whenever I played an online football game. I used to play that football game Hattrick.org, still around. I use to play another one on facebook. Football Manager Live got canned for some reason, it was amazing. People said they'd make a spiritual successor, I donated £5, nothing happened iirc.
I sort of thought FM Online was gonna be a bit of a comeback for that sort of thing desu but I've heard fuck all since Mike released that in Korea a few years back so I assume it died again or at least didn't do as well as they hoped
>Donating for spiritual successors
Sorry mang
>come back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with ten men
today was a good day
Aye. It wasn't as bad when I paid for a local fan owned football club, only for it not to do anything, for me to login to the site 10 years later then the very next day receive an email with porn in it from the club. Cest la vie. I got banned on Hattrick.org for buying my own players in a team I made myself, said it was my mate. Realised too late they went by IP's and I could have just changed it. Never bothered again.
I also got into Counter Strike Manager, got really good before I hit the top tier leagues where you needed to autistic management 24/7 to do well.
>Counter-Strike Manager
I'm sorry what
meanwhile in bizarro FM
yeah that's just not okay, and what's worse is they do this for literal tards in HS who dont really give a shit but when they need help lmao sorry b0ss no help here
You know what Counter Strike is, I assume? Well the game was you managed a Counter Strike clan and played against real people. Basically you set tactics, trained players. Had a de_dust2 map and de_aztec map, placed players in defence and ordered players on attack. The game then played out and you could watch it live (if you paid) or watch the result for free after it happened. Was amazing fun. At one point, trained a guy with amazing aim to be an expert with the AWP, which boosted his skill by 5% when using it. Largely useless due to the fact it cost so much to buy but it was fun when he got it. I ended up stop playing and they deactive your team after 2 weeks inactivity, sadly.
>player twists his ankle
>can talk to about injury
>player fractures his arm or elbow
>can't talk to about injury
It's a thing
It's a real thing
It's a thing that exists
I am reconsidering everything right now.
You haven't witnessed the true AS experience until you see one of their idiots act like fuckbuddies with the bottom rung member of the stuff and act like it makes him king of the corridors
It was amazing fun. It even had International Teams managed by players who had been voted to take over the country. They played each others in tournaments using players from said nationalities on other teams. It was so fun. So cool. I don't think UK were very good.
Do people who play this game listen to the soundtrack? Or just play with spotify on
just put on the music you want or listen to audiobooks
>Implying there is a soundtrack
True autists like /trb/ don't listen to normie stuff anyways, I usually listen to some of this

>plan to loan out regen

Half of my team is unhappy with the intense training I give them, but they're doing good in league and are below average in injuries so they can cry me a river

Did the monkeys at SI remove the message you used to get about how many player each team produced who played in the top divisions?
I'm sure i've never seen it in FM19
Nah, it popped up a LOT of times during my CdS save. It was "How many players each team produced that play in the top division", "how many players each team produced that play in top divisions around the world" and "how many players each team produced that play for the NT".
Engash

That was a weird transfer window

God help me, for real.
Yildirim has kept us in this tie so far, bringing us up level after being down 2-0 twice.
If it wasn't for Kolasinac's red card in the 3rd minute for the first game we'd be up front
Are a club's transfer policies hard-coded and only changeable with the editor? I'm at a semi-professional club in a custom DB that can only sign U-23 players. Is that impossible to change via promotion, board requests, etc?
Could've won the league with my 3-4-1-2 offensive minded formation, but opted to take advice from assistant coaches for a couple of key games with some semen slurping defensive tactics which fucked me over big time.
>Follow up, drew my first game and lost my second one
>Literally no good regens
We're so fucked.
Lads. I never stick with a game long enough. I do well and then I lose a game or two and I rage because I've not lost anything before that point. My best game was my Oxford game, where I signed a few regens Day 1. This was Day 1 of the game. It was a bug. They were world class regens who won everything possibly in the U18 division and then were already ready for first team the very next season. I didn't struggle. I could load it up again and just keep playing. I don't think i lost many games (maybe in cups). I quit due to doing well in Season 2. Should I just go back to it and accept I have good shit from probably a bug?
been there
never change my tactic now
assman's advice might be logically sound but almost never works out
yes masturbate
lads which FM is the latest cracked and working properly FM
I've paid full price 3 times and 2 times on sale I'm never paying for this series again
Sorry we all buy the game here. Pirates not welcome
I believe it's hard-coded
yay or ney?
im dynamo kiev i can get him for 3ish million which is most of my budget atm
it's a yay from me homie
ok it was his physicals that put me off but its not a very competitive league and i should hopefully profit on him
I should say that in my save I haven't made a transfer in 4 years, so every player I see is a 'yay' to me right now desu

Not like this
Okay guys, i wanted to do this for awhile and will start with my project tonight. I will create a Team with the editor and use Female Pornstars as players. I need your help to determine the stats for the females and what stars i should use. Obviously the team captain will be a veteran from the mature genre (probably Nina Hartley) and the youth academy will be filled with fresh new 18 year old debutants (i'll need your help on that since i dont watch much teenage). What do you think? We can start with the name of the team, and no it will not be BLACKED since that's going to be a rival team.

Jumped from 14 to 18 and the changes are noticeable
Wouldn't suggest upgrading every single year but every 3-4 years is a good idea
minimum height Piper Perri is a must
mandatory japanese Asa Akira to boost the shirt sales

How do shirt sales work? Because in my Leverkusen save I have a japanese affiliated club that got me a sick jap regen that will probably end in my first team

Real talk Gavorrano has the memeiest first shirt I've seen in a while.
It's a bit much indeed
Seriously, what is that pattern
Why that pattern
Why that design
It's... it doesn't fit. It just doesn't. A team like Viareggio would rock the shirt better.
At least it's unique I guess
It wouldn't even be that hard to redesign, just make the water drops smaller, give them a better pattern and put them on the blue half only, as well as remove the stripes on the shoulders from the red half.
at least it's better than the previous one, it's still horrendous but not in a tier of its own

Que?
why are there so many italians here lately?
and why are they complaining about having the oppertunity to study
We're not complaining about the opportunity to study
I'm more complaining about a specific part of Law studies being autistically complex and my professor for that specific thing being a cunt who should not be teaching trouts how to swim.
ehhh sti cazzi, fratello mio
'Sti cazzi un cazzo puttan maiala schifosa maledetta da un contadino del Fucino incazzato nero bestia che la grandine gli ha sfasciato tutto ed una cazzo di talpa cieca s'abbottata de patate minchia schifosa maiala de 'sto cazzo 'nnagia sanda
topkek
because fuck you that's why, of course we're thankful we have the opportunity to study, still having to read a latin papyrus from 367AD is not great if you have never studied latin in your life but your professor doesnt give a shit
Thanks for this sentence, it was good practice for my Italian
No idea if you study law aswell, but logically Latin is a big part of law due to the inheritance of Roman/Catholic law in modern law.
Let's get back on topic:
Was Atalanta's performance last season a one-season-wonder or are they really a potential powerhouse? If so, how did that come about
It does tend to fall off the cliff that is the Fucense variant of the Abruzzese dialect towards the end.
As for Bergamo Calcio Atalanta, they unironically have one of the strongest youth recruitment and development systems currently in Italy. Been regularly making the Europa League qualifiers lately. This season was both a combination of a years-long project (something some retard presidents cannot get through their heads) and a couple of other things
>A Milan so bad (and downright unlucky at times with injuries) that Gattuso could barely carry them to EL
>Napulel being less constant than with Sarri due to this being Ancelotti's first year
>Inter being drama fucking central and Wanda completely ruining Icardi's chances of ever being taken seriously almost as much as Rabiot's mum fucked over his career up to this point
>La Premiata Ditta Pallotta (copyright pending) completely fucking over Roma by not listening to Totti, not getting EDF the players he needed, sacking EDF after getting knocked out of CL, and needing Totti to bail them out through Ranieri before kicking both alongside De Rossi out
>Lazio being what it's supposed to be, a supermarket team that should go back to Serie C
>SPAL and Parma fucking up everyone's plans
nah i study history which is even more cucked, i'm studying latin on the side because it'll be helpful later on
thing is, up until the 8th century people used to write without spacing the words (scriptio continua) because lmao we know how to read that, spaces? no need bro
so yeah reading those shits makes me want to kys myself
FM2019 is 66% off on steam, but don't take advantage of the offer because Mike and his team deserve all your money :)
Grazie for the analysis, fratello mio.
I am a historian, I know the struggle. Learning Italian helped me a lot during my studies, as it makes Latin somewhat recongizable. Is Latin not pretty easy to read when you're Italian?
Hopefully you can find some peace in your current struggle with the realization that life will only get harder after finishing uni (no jobzzz)
Thanks for the advice, mate
>No spacing
So basically early 2000s SMS/current WhatsApp tier writing, only in ink and on official documents?
Yeah maybe it was for the best I didn't go for History.
Also why does 'dialect' in Italian always seems to entail 'cutting words' ('nnagia instead of mannaggia). Maybe written (most) dialects seem the same
The cut words are because it's an attempt to put to paper what's otherwise vocal. In dialect the words sound cut because, like in a song, they flow from one to the other, often FAR faster than normal Italian. Sicilian and Neapolitan in particlar, but Venetian does not fuck around, although they use bestemmie as commas, adjectives, exclamation points, question marks, AND as greetings.
based history gang
it's kind of easy because many words we normally use come from latin, still not as easy as people make it out to be
here's what i mean with >i want to kys myself
Grazie! Makes sense.. Naepolitan and other 'Mezzogiorno'-dialects are a league of their own, true.
Morituri te salutant! I understand that those kind of texts can dishearten you.. Though i can't help but wonder; are there no translations/transcripts of such texts? If so, why doesn't your uni offer them to you instead of the originals?
I understand the value of 'original' texts and getting you to practice deciphering them, but it's unnecessary, in my opinion
oh yeah of course there's the trascription in the second page of the pdf, but the whole point of the course is to actually learn how niggas wrote this or that letter at a certain point in history
also yes, unnecessary because literally nobody can read them and the exam will be a shitshow, shoutout professor who's always in the yard where everybody smokes weed and always stares at me :)
Can someone explain what is the difference between 'FM Touch' and the regular FM?
>just bought FM 19 after not buying FM for 5 years
Touch is a light version with half the content and no mods
Actual FM can be modded which makes it a thousand times better because you can play the team of a town with 800 inhabitants and take it to the Champions League.
So Touch is also easier to run on a PC? I have a very old laptop that struggles with newer games (FM13 is the latest version that runs smoothly)
I imagine Touch would run faster than regular FM19, but Touch is so shit you'd be better off just playing FM13 instead
What said.
What makes it so shit?
The same answer to the question "what makes Windows 10, which was clearly meant for phones, shit on thousand dollar PCs meant for being used by people other than fucking casuals?"
