I do appreciate that it's still possible to let your AssMan finalise European registration so that none of the 15 players you promised first team football to who didn't get registered will be angry with you. Granted, he usually picks the absolute worst options in each position, but I'll cop to that being my fault.

A content creator, SiMaggio, has made a 20 minute video about 30 years in my Celtic Nations League database. The league where I have all the Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish and Irish teams in one system. I am absolutely thrilled with it. And Si is really nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUuLfYLWkHc

Yell at people if they train badly, ignore your players otherwise. I used to also tell people I'm happy they got man of the match until one guy got it 5 games in a row and he decided the appropriate response was "gently caress you dad, I'm tired of hearing that" Never speak to your players voluntarily

It seems safe to praise a guy's game performance if he scored 2 goals and had a rating 8+ ("you were great in front of goal") or had 2 assists and a rating 8+ ("nice job creating chances"). But anything less than that risks making them pissy. And keepers almost never. Like only if they make 10+ saves and were man of the match. Likewise it's generally safe to praise training performance if their training rating is over 7 and doing so once a month is a good way to raise your relationship with a new/young player fast. None of that applies if a guy has a bad personality. In which case he shouldn't be on your team at all. fakeedit: I'm pretty sure there's weirdness with praising the game performance of like a U23 player playing on the senior team, where the game thinks you're talking about his performance in the last U23 game

I praise the 3 top performers in training each week (assuming they get more than an 8.0) and the last Friday of each month, I'll praise everyone who got an 8.0 or higher, including the players in the Youth squads. And if a player gets less than 6.5 in training, I criticise him.

My FGR side are having a hell of a season. Second year in the Championship and tipped to finish dead last (again), we're eight games from the end of the season and all but guaranteed a play-off spot with a reasonable chance of snagging automatic promotion. On top of that, we're off to Wembley to play Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final after absolutely shithousing Newcastle at their ground in the QF. Spent about an hour hanging onto a 1-0 lead, gave up a penalty in 90+3 and then Joe Willock decided to try to panenka it and our keeper just stood up and caught it easily. First penalty he's saved all season, last kick of the game, beautiful FM moment. God I love this spreadsheet. sebzilla fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Jan 29, 2024 |

Playing in Norway is rough. None of the top top Norwegian players want to play in the domestic league, so they're off the table. You can only register 9 non-Norwegians, so you really have to get those guys right. The instant you have a 18-20 year old who breaks out, the big clubs come calling, and since you're in Norway, they just spam you with $7m offers for $25m players until they get unsettled and demand to leave. Oh yeah, and since you play through the summer, other leagues' transfer window opens up in the literal back half of your season, meaning your best players leave with 10 games left in your regular season. Best I've done is a couple of UCL quarterfinals. I got close last time, beat Spurs 1-0 away but lost 2-0 at home. I don't know if I'm good enough at this game to pull it off.

Well, we squeaked promotion through the play-offs. Now time for my "only sign local-born* players" rule to really bite me in the rear end. £30M to spend for Premier League survival and very limited options... basically it's involved raiding Bristol City for anyone remotely decent and hoping that my rag-tag band of lower-league idiots can hold it together long enough for some kids to develop into competent PL-ballers. *local being stretched to "anywhere I reckon I could drive to in about an hour" in this case. I might refine it further as I get a youth set-up worth a drat e: lol and we lost our season opener 1-0 to Liverpool thanks to an own goal from our captain. It's going to be a long season. sebzilla fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jan 31, 2024 |

At some point, my masochism complex is going to send me back to Finland, to find out if SI have finally fixed the awful fixture or winter break scheduling issues that have been in the game since as long as I can remember. But not yet.

Talking of Scandinavia, some 27 year old has been hired to manage a 4th division Icelandic team base on his FM resume. https://www.sportbible.com/football/gaming/football-manager-gaming-iceland-football-262214-20240211 Claims he's spent 12% of his entire life playing FM.

That's not quite right, he was hired because he's a retired footballer who took over a 5th tier amateur side and did well, the FM stuff is just a sideshow. Also Iceland isn't Scandinavia

I just made the jump to FM24 after a billion hours of FM21. Holy hell is FM24 crashy. I can count on one hand the abrupt-crash-to-desktop experiences I had with FM18 or FM21. It happens all the time in FM24. Never (yet) mid-match, always when I hit continue out of match. Is this your experience or just mine?

I was managing a team in the 2. Bundesliga in FM23 and Australia approached me and I figured why not. They're hosting the upcoming 2034 World Cup so they automatically qualified, but FM put them in a qualifying group anyway and decided they didn't qualify out of the group before any of the matches started. I play and win all the qualifying group games and once the group is over I get sacked for not qualifying. Great job FM.

We somehow managed to pick up the previous season's top scorer (the extremely Ukrainian-sounding Pedro Benito) on a free, but he's broken too after scoring four goals in the first three games. It's going to be a long season.

I logged back into my FM save last night, after a few months break. Cork City moved to England and in the Championship. I have no idea who any of my players are. I have no idea what my various tactics are. I have no idea which tactic I use in which circumstance. I have very little idea of my finances. I have no idea what positions I need to be upgrading. I have no idea what I've done with my scouting setup. What I do know is Miles is gonna "It's your tactics, mate" the new big FM upgrade this November, so I probably have about 18 months to figure it it out. Assuming I don't go all in on whatever new Farm Sim is coming. Edit: I played one game and won 3-0. Away from home against Rochester. Mrenda fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Mar 14, 2024 |

It's always perversely enjoyable to interview with PSG and have them go "Is a transfer budget of €360M and a wage budget of €9.5M/week sufficient" and say "no way are you mad I would need way more than that"

Got my Celtic Nations League database up on the Steam Workshop. It's for the Feb/March Main Data Update so it works with the latest transfers. Lots of details on the Steam page. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3193385627 And in my Cork City > English System save I've gotten City into the Premiership after four years in the Championship. Started in the Bananarama South. My wage budget for next year is £450k.

I'll get them fixed up for new dowloads so they're appreciated if you do find them. And updates will help me balance it better/change things should I do it again next year with the new FM, assuming they won't have messed with the underlying DB systems too much. Dunno about getting the women's game into it though, or if they'll even have the leagues setup for the Celtic Leagues. Although that could be fun if some country was missing.

God dammit, I finally got my Norwegian team to the UCL finals (past prem leading Arsenal, Real Madrid somehow and Villareal in the semis) only to get cock blocked by Man City in the finals. Just couldn't figure out how to break down their defense. We actually played well, lost xG 1.2-0.8, had 48 percent possession. Thought we had an equalizer in the 89th minute but it was ruled offsides. The guy who scored for Man City was a regen winger they bought for $291 million from PSG. Tough to compete with that, that's like 7 years of my squad's entire salary.
