There wasn't a thread for nearly 24 hours. Fucking dead thread about a dead game on a dead board. GG

This is what happens when we make mental health knowledge more widespread. People realize playing 8 hours of FM a day is depression and not fun. Suicide prevention was a mistake.

Should I get FM19 on sale or is it better just sticking with FM15?
Ryan Watson
Never played 15 but 19 has been pretty fun. I'll make a little tour of my Neverkusen save tonight if this thread survives till then
Anyone know how regens are created? Do they take all the attributes of real players exactly? If so I'm pretty sure I figured out how to make all the players women.
they're pseudo-randomly generated, as far as I know. you get the odd weirdo but largely they fall within the bounds of a few archetypes. they're not directly based off a specific real player though, no, that stopped after fm09 (I think)
Daniel Jones
Passes and possession is more important than winning football matches.
I don't feel like the trips from this general are bad though. I'd say its worth getting on sale.
Dominic Howard
Gonna holiday until 2019 then pick a team in dire need of my expertise
Nicholas Kelly
Does it actually matter if a player is unhappy with training? Obviously if he says it's not productive then maybe he's right But I've always got a handful of guys that whine just to whine Should I just tell them to shut the fuck up?
Lincoln Perez
Got bored with the Torquay save, started a new one for the summer down in Uruguay. In my second season about to win the second division, and then see this lad just hanging out about to retire in a few months.
Maybe if the only time you ever put him in the game is cup competitions against minnows as a poacher or just before a game goes to penalties.
Gavin Brooks
Picked him up, have 6 games remaining on the schedule because there's a transfer window late in the summer.
Why not have a legend play.
Robert Powell
no just move on with it desu its strange, i always have 3 or 4 shitters like that

loaded leagues user? See a bunch of USL and random shitter NA teams
Juan White
Custom db that makes the US playable down to the PDL/NPSL level with pro/rel Worked my way up from near the bottom of the 3rd division with this shit little club and it's 1,000 fans a game On the brink of MLS and we're choking it away About to play the second-to-last match of the season with my 4th string keeper because now the top 3 are all hurt I also have one (1) healthy striker I fucking hate this game so much
Adrian Martinez
Wish FM would just add in the USL and the lower leagues in North America, even if their is no promotion at stake.
Would be cool if the hey had some innovative approach where they would have certain teams be absorbed into the MLS if they did well enough.
The old NCAA football games, had a thing where if lower conference teams did well enough they would get offers to join big conferences in a swap. Similar idea
Justin Reyes
If you just want to play in the USL use Uncle Sam's DB
Jose Torres
is there any problem with pirating 19, like theres no anti-piracy nonsense is there?
Camden Bell
>Uncle Sam's DB
I'm not familiar with this one Is it better than my shitty homebrew?
John Wright
Or you could just throw 15 bones at the game now. It's like 75% off
>Major League Soccer: All default rules are still in place (salary cap, allocation money, contract types, All-Star Game, Drafts, etc).
I don't think this semen slurping db is for me
Nathaniel Rogers
Sorry senpai probably an actual fantasy one out there
John Young
All Star Game is great irl though, I remember a few years back watching MLS All Stars hacking the fuck out of Pep's Bayern about a week before they were due to start the season and about 3 of his players going off injured. The bald fraud was absolutely seething by the end of it. Fantastic watch.
Brayden Morgan
>budget is in a deficit, with no prospects of even a yearly gain, let alone paying the debts >board does not even wish to pay for a smallest thing, let alone investments like youth objects >Club Finances: 95% >my star player can and wants to leave to 2.Bundesliga for a fee that would pull us up back into positives >everybody would loath me for letting him go Is is my accountant showing when I think I should sell him to get that sweet cash, even though he's bound to become maybe not new Lewa, but a top Polish player?
Lads, do I restart my Oxford United game which had insane world class regens available Day 1 (this was Day 1 release so probably a bug) of which I signed them all, at least the ones I could see, left in U18 for a season to which they won everything and are now first team quality? I have no threats in the league.
Asher Jones
If they can carry you through Prem then you can sell them for pennies/release, if not then you still have a challenge Plus a L1 side's rep is low enough that most of them will want to leave by the time you get to Championship anyway
Connor Sanchez
Is there any other tool besides FMRTE for editing save games? I don't want to pay for a license key
Juan Jones
Nothing free
Eli Collins
lads just bought 19 after not playing since 16. is there a cap on affiliate clubs?
Adam Foster
>no promotion >same autistic salary rules in MLS why would anyone play this? I mean its cool my hometown team is in this since they just started this season but if I can't even take them to MLS whats the point?
Ian Sanders
No, but you can only ask every 6 months, and often they start offering you worse and worse affiliates as time goes on. Once I hit 13 affiliates they were trying to partner me with Grenadian and Tahitian youth academies.
Alexander Perry
all i've wanted is a fucking spanish affiliate and they keep giving me shitty eastern europes
Oh I love all (okay, most) that shit IRL It's just too much of a pain in the ass for me to want to deal with in a FM save
I agree People say pro/rel wouldn't work in MLS because getting relegated would destroy an MLS club, and they're right, it would But holy shit would it be a boon to all those little minor league clubs If MLS could survive the short-term catastrophe, that's the thing that could make soccer a huge sport here in the long run
The mafia paid off N'jie. It's always the africans.
Daniel Johnson
Where do I find the base logo pack for FM18 on sortitoutsi? All I see are updates. Or is it the almost 7 GB pack that also appears on the page for FM19?
Generally should be fine, I was using an FM14 pack while downloading one for FM18 (my 'net is slow) and I don't recall seeing any wrong ones
Noah Hernandez
tcm logos has them all friend
Austin Mitchell
I'm surprised anyone sticks with Liverpool that long
Jeremiah Martinez
I checked it, but they want me to donate 1.5 Euros for the 2018 pack. I'm downloading Smooth 18 Logos from mediafire right now but for some reason it's not going above 30 KBps.
Brayden Rivera
Just use 19 then?
Jeremiah Jenkins
6.5 GBs hosted on depositfiles with the download limit will still take me longer than downloading 220 MB of Smooth 18 at 30 KBps.
Why are Shamrock Rovers so trash in fm19? I've worked my way up from reputationless, sunday league footballer to manage Shamrock Rovers. Started last half of last season and managed to stay up. This season I'm only being given 27k to spend when a leading player in this league is ~150k and £1.6m debt has appeared out of nowhere. They've not finished above 6th since I started this save. Fuck lads, might reject this contract...
>Route One >3-4-3 I cannot make my mind up if that might be brilliant or terrible
Jordan Turner
alright boys I went unemployed but have some badges/rep because I didn't feel like starting at the bottom. Here's my options >Sturm Graz >Nurnberg >Bordeaux Kinda thinking about Sturm Graz since I haven't managed in Austria before, at least to start, but Nurnberg and Bordeaux are also interesting.
Julian Gray
Just apply to them all and see who makes you an offer first then have a closer look at if they have any specific philosophies and the team and see who you like or don't like. I would say I found managing in France very boring though so it'd be one of the other two for me. French Cup is kinda fun though, sometimes get to destroy some minnows from shithole island nations.
Ryan Hall
I'd pick Bordeaux.
They have a solid team with a couple of great talents.
Jeremiah Clark
De gay lets a ball rebound off his heel to allow arsenal thru to the semis
Isaiah Rogers
Decided to fuck around with FMRTE on my Oxford save, made my superkid striker 20 determination to see how it affects his performance. It didn't do much. So quit that and wnet back to my Temperly save. Still not lost a game with them, several draws. Got some good lads. Rodrigo Marquez is fucking amazing, by the way, sign him lads.
Carter Lewis
Think I'm gonna go with Bordeaux, lads. Already have Europa league and could always find another job if I get bored of them.
I have a question lads. Okay, so I check my training information for my First Team. I have the highest rate in the league for all areas. Every training area is 3.5* or better.
I checked my Reserve and U20. Again, every training area is 3.5* or better in quality. All Light Load too. Yet they're barely mid tier in quality compared to the league. Is the 'average thing' based on total stats of your staff?
I ask because coaches who are better or good want £3k+ and my board refuses to give me more wages. Does it matter? I have some spaces but since I can't get better and 3.5* is the lowest rating, do I need more? It's good enough, right? The rating level is the important bit on top of training facilities and personality for improvement rate?
Robert Bennett
>Yet they're barely mid tier in quality compared to the league Sometimes great coaches and good training can only do so much if the players they are working with aren't that great.
Logan King
No I mean, this. Despite 3.5* in all areas, minimum, it's only this. Is the coach average the determination for this? And does this improve the players? I have plenty of shitty youths, some are alright tho.
>Is the coach average the determination for this? The coaches stats for what they are allocated to. Yours are fine I really wouldn't worry about it. You aren't a big club and it's above average. Good youth with good determination usually reach their potential anyway through gametime
I dont understand how you're even confused, i literally just work in a cubicle tucked in the corner of an office room with two desktops and play on my laptop with my work email open
HATE the 1 bravery that they give so many shit players but LOVE the random 15 heading
Dominic Hughes
Should I start a save in Luxembourg and try to make them vaguely decent.
Jace Murphy
Yes, they have a couple of legit players.
Josiah Carter
I remember when FM19 was announced. The purple memes were high in volume, mitch was still attention whoring and others were already jaded on the game
Now I'm seeing FM19 for 18€ and I don't have a single ounce of me, which would make me upgrade from FM16 and begin a new quest. I'm probably done with FM for good.
