Hansa Rostock

you're managing dulwich hamlet, right? what made you pick them? how far along are you? how shit is mouyes jr?

>what made you pick them?

newly promoted and the fact they've never been to level 6 before. i'm a narcissist, so it feels better bringing them through the tiers if i'm the first one to do it. currently only in first season though.

I score quite a fair amount from corners. This isn't 'broken OP' FM12(?) where there was a specific set of positions you put players and if you had capable headers + jumpers + tall you score like minimum 50%.

thats because i;ve only played in scotland for all 30 seasons

cant get all the leagues achievements

Should I finally leave FM14 behind and jump into FM19, wait for FM20 or stick to FM14?

Might as well wait for 20 at this point

Will it be good this time?
Still waiting for something as good as CM4

no idea, maybe wait for the beta to come out and see what people here say about it if you're not sure.

It's probably time for a new version. Get on to FM15.

3 months left

Wait for 20, then continue playing 14 when it's announced that the CanPL won't actually be in FM20 after all.

Yeah horseshit, when I last played, I got so pissed at one match I resorted to reloading (something I never do in any game) just to "prove" it was scripted, because my quintuple-winning side I'd made the best in the world by leagues over ten seasons could not, under any circumstances, beat a team that was at bottom of the table, 20/20 losses with 6 goals scored, 72 conceded (QPR, btw). I must've reloaded 200 times, changing every possible thing, but they would ALWAYS equalize or take the lead, usually in the last five minutes. They even came back from 5-0 down a couple times and my players simply would not do what they'd been doing for years and stand around like morons.

Hey guys, I was wondering for how long to these games usually receive support for? Will this game be keep updated 2-3 years from now?

2-3 months*

Damn, is this latest version worth getting?

yes tBh, 20 is still 3 months away

Ok thanks!

Fans usually make database updates for games if you're a fan of staying on older versions. You can play with the 2019/20 season on FM17 for example thanks to fan patches.

This is great to know, thanks. Can't wait to try it out!

FM has a really strong modding community so you should be able to find ways to make old games stay interesting, and updated. And there's tons of gimmick databases as well to spice things up.

good league 1 teams to manage in? Thinking about either Bristol Rovers or Lincoln

Hmm are there any fantasy databases with magic and shit

yeah if you play the default FM database your players will suddenly be cursed to put 37 shots wide while your opponent scored all 3.

AFC Wimbledon to fuck over MK Dons or Accrington Stanley for the name

Yeah I really enjoyed my Third Age Middle Earth save.
Signed both Elrohir and Elladan, GOATs. Also got a pretty good Rohirim regen for cheap.

Why cant my strikers play well? All my other players score goals, contribute etc but my strikers always get 6.7 and bellow ratings. Usually i play 4231 or 4123, even my midfielders score more goals than my "strikers". playing fm18 come at me

is a midfield 3 with a deep lying playmaker behind two B2B mids on a short passing system a good idea?

Sounds like you're describing a Championship or 2.Bundesliga side even though there aren't many leagues to go through until you're as high as you can make it. And any further down you're unlikely to find a club that has "decent funds" to spend (and generally it's smarter transfer said funds into your wages and live off frees and loans in the bowels of most countries leagues).

That is straight heresy my man

This tictac is working pretty well for me atm, overwhelming teams with attack and so far I have scored 3 or 4 goals in my first 3 games.

I'm shit scared that I'm going to get exposed and teams will figure out how to stop this, so I tried to develop a 3-5-2 defensive version of this. I switched my regular tictac to that and ended up conceding two goals.

Any suggestions as to a defensive, counter tactic that can be used?

I set everyones creativity to minimum, and play very rigid, Contain. As deep and as narrow as possible.
But that isn't the beauty of how I play.
You see, every player on my team, bar the keeper, has at least 16 for creativity. Most of them are under the age of 22 as well. They all have the potential to be some of the most incredibly creative and exciting players in the world, but I can't have that.

Nothing gives me more pure, filthy gratification than seeing little Passyzinho run into a corner to get the ball and getting surrounded by players. You can see it in their eyes, how badly he just wants to do a rabona and then curl an exquisite outside of the boot pass through to the striker, but before he can do it, he looks over to the touchline and see's me shaking my head.

He knows he will be punished.
So what does he do? He boots it, hammers it, thumps it into touch, while I smile, semen already rushing down my leg and getting caught up in the hairs on my shin. I know these players could be so much more. But I prefer them this way

Striker is the most volatile position and probably occupied by some johnny foreigner who has little meaningful connection to the club and its fans. Plus he's probably going to be sold in four years when either his legs go out on him or he realizes that he's better off playing somewhere other than an isolated island in the north Atlantic.

Keeper's here forever. And homegrown.

Which FM did you guys enjoy the most in your lifetime? Was it based 08?

FM15, because I wasn't savvy enough about how FM worked but still knowledgeable enough to enjoy my success. And because there were heaps of >user dbs and graphic mods. Now the >user db scene is a wasteland ever since SI fucked up .fmf files import from old versions in FM19.

I enjoyed 05 the most, I played it again a few years ago and its undeniably terrible compared to just about every addition since simply due to lacking so many features but I had the best time managing in Swden and playing in the (now defunct) Royal League.
It was like a great inbetween tier of competition between when you get good enough to smash your domestic league but you're still to shit to do much in Europe.

since i was dicussing the shittyness that is the var system here some time ago i thought ill share an article that i think makes some decent points about var and modern football in general. enjoy i guess.

theoutline.com/post/7822/video-assisted-referee-soccer

snippet: > Stranger still, in the most recent Copa America semifinal between Brazil and Argentina, a possible penalty for Argentina was overlooked by the referee and was not deferred to VAR. Seconds later, Brazil scored at the other end of the pitch. It was alleged that VAR was unable to intervene because of technical issues resulting from communication interference by Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s security team.
no idea why i didnt know this, but fucking lol. and i dont care if its true or not.

VAR is obnoxious in how ref bias for one team cannot be prevented.

is there any real benefit to having experienced players in your side, or can i fill the team with kids and hope for the best

It means that they have absolutely nothing. Brace yourselves for the worst FM iteration ever.

Hardly can be worse than FM16 or FM *click**click**click**click**click**clic- ahem; I meant FM18. And FM13 already was a FM12 rehash, so it's not like it's news.

it feels like this happens about ever other game. I either with 3-0 or i lose 1-0 having had 20 shots with half on target. while the other team has 1-2 shots total

>it feels like this happens about ever other game
That's called selection bias my dude.

But what about the CanPL.

If I want a lone striker who is basically just there to finish off attacks, like a poacher, lay it off simply, like a target man, what is my best option?

Poacher will not work unless I have a striker paired with him.
Target man activates hoofball mode and completely negates my tactic
Advanced forward seems to work okay but he ends up dribbling on the wing a lot, I want him to stay central.
Complete forward does whatever he wants to do
Pressing forward I don't know what he actually does

I used to really like defensive forward support but it no longer exists.

Help pls

hate forwards
love shadow strikers
simple as.

Defensive Forward has been morphed into the Pressing Forward, so you should star there. Almost every striker role on Attack duty has either "Moves Into Channels" and/or "Roam From Position", which means they won't stay central no matter what. You gotta get used to it, and feed them properly.

That said, it could very well be that your striker is a fucking retard or that the rest of your tictacs is shite. If not both.

Fuck sake, I started a PSV save, thought the squad was lacking players, so called up loads of players from the B team, really enjoyed the save. Then I played PSG in the group stage and noticed their team was really different, with no Neymar, Cavani etc... then I realised that I’d subscribed to a meme “Thanos wins” database that removed 50% of all the players in the game. Ruined any enjoyment that I had

Or they got something big...

(Tbh 19 is good so minimal changes means the game can't get worse and maybe will get slightly better even)

Nice numbers on 12

Seems based to me. I prefer the double-snap myself: no one left!

>not watching first 15 min of every match in full highlights (sped up, ofc)

if there's any glaring issues, you definitely spot them that way. then i switch to extended or comprehensive, if i'm super paranoid.

speeding through saves isn't for me anymore. i tend to lose interest very quickly if i don't analyse/tweak shit constantly.

Been playing FM a while but never been good at developing young players. Any tips please?
How do you judge if a young academy player will bang or not? Is it simply their potential star rating and their personality? Or do you look at their raw attributes and see something there?

O'Higgins

The Greek League is really fun to manage in FM19. Within 2 seasons the Super League gets reducted to 12 teams so it's more interesting that way.

my theory is based on if their training report is positive then just play them constantly. I have a feeling it doesnt work but i honestly couldnt think of a better way

oh no

attribute masking is on, (ofc), so most of the cheaty features of that skin are off, the injury risk thing is convenient because I'm horrendously bad at training management

I use wingers in the midfield strata exclusively for width, roles and instructions are for getting them to go forward

What's a good laptop to run FM? Asking for a friend

Sounds awful.

keypoint is upgradeable ram and ssd slot (if you like very very low load times)

processor is the non upgradeable bottleneck, aim for a decently clocking 8th or 9th gen intel, so just buy a laptop with an appealing form factor and a decent processor

ram isn't that expensive for laptops, a stick of 8 gigs sodimm dd4 cost me ~30 eurobux, and an m.2 sata ssd of 1 tera set me back another hunno

Anything with an SSD should get you really good performance for FM. But yeah all of . I have a 512gb SSD and 8gb RAM and my FM can run a 200,000 player database as clean as anything.

follow up, if a laptop has no clear documentation on upgradability, don't fuck with it

read a few reviews on laptops, and once again, the only things you need to pay attention to are build quality and processor

2-footed means he's good. It's the iron law of FM

Lads, did any of you play one of the premier manager games? What's your opinion on them compared to the fm of the time.

Any old ThinkPad with an i5 or i7 and with an SSD should do fine fren

if you think that's bad I use iwb(s) in the fullback position with hold position on so that my actual midfield can run forward like retards

fuck fuck FUCK conte

why are promises a thing they never actually help anything and ruin relaitonships

depending on the personality they actualyl can create relationships

for example when you sign a player and make promises to convince him to sign a contract and you make good on the promises you shoot up in their relationship score

Attached: football_positions_central-defender.jpg (336x515, 85K)

this worked in 18, not sure about 19

set them to the maximum closing down setting, get them to mark tighter and get them to tackle harder

They're already set to mark tighter and with the highest pressing urgency. They're just retards. I mean, they're as good as the Hungarian second division can allow, and my goalkeeper saves their asses more times than not, but what pisses me off is how fucking predictable the passes themselves are and that they're always in a prime position to intercept it, but just don't. I suppose that's just the match engine's way of justifying the chance.

I don't think I'm very good at this game.

Fluked winning League two first season with Mansfield

Started well next year in League one scored loads conceded more, then stopped scoring but still leaked goals, went on two horror runs losing about 11 in a row and later 6 in a row, somehow managed to survive

Next year was doing well mid table and got job offers, ended up going to mk Dons in the championship, they finished second the year I won League two so I figured they'd be underpowered for the league.

Anyway they're 11k over the wage budget and Ives lost 7 and drawn 1 game so far. Lost the last two home games 2-1 in the 88th and then 94th min.

Anybody got any advice for me, I feel like the most important thing in this game is moral and right now it's abysmal, I thought maybe I could recruit one or two players in the Jan transfer window but due to the wage bill it's not been possible.

so if I understand things right regarding the creative mental stats:

vision: number of options a player can see in the offered decision tree

anticipation: how man branches in the future the player can see in the decision tree

decisions: the ability for the player to decide which option in the decision tree is the most optimal

composure: ability for the player to not have negatively impacted mental stats when under pressure

flair: weights the player's decision making to more forward minded movements, especially unpredictable ones

is that pretty much right?
