this is the first fm i've bought since 14. i got hired by nice and i have absolutely no idea what i am doing with the way training works now. is it worth trying to wrap my head around it or just tell my assistant to do everything? also why do journalists love it so much when i point my finger at them in press conferences? at least the match engine is noticeably more realistic tho

sassassin posted:Rosenborg offered me the big job but moving to a new club is such a chore I can't be bothered. £21m transfer budget though... i feel that. after i won the ligue 1 with nice i got offered the psg job. no thank u i’d rather stay here with my wonderkids and wage budget of roughly 2 neymars and not have to rebuild a team where literally over half the players want to leave for CL football

 what would you do with a 200cm striker who cant finish and hates shooting but does have incredible dribbling skills

i have noticed sometimes u get stuff in your inbox saying ‘Player X has been overlooked for the national team despite their excellent recent form’ and it turns out Player X is a washed up 35 year old whose “excellent recent form” has been for the B team. i wonder if something similar could happen for the ballon d’or

i'm just going to stick with my FM21 save which in 2035 has definitely entered bizarro timeline. i am managing liverpool - agnelli is the chairman and pep works for me as a scout. a left-footed welshman called "nyran giggs" has come through manchester united's youth academy. the qataris sold psg and they finally won the champions league for the first time the following year with a team made up of like half young loanees from chelsea and man city

my favourite fm idiosyncrasy is the way in which every player declines physically in exactly the same way, first losing 1 point of dribbling around age 29 and then all their physical stats just cratering from age 32 on to the extent that a 36 year old is basically a shambling corpse

i have a player in my current hertha side called Robert Fick. his surname in german literally means “gently caress”. so to me he is bobby gently caressthe sex ghost posted:Do enjoy regens from random corners of the globe popping up in your academy. Trying to work out how and why a winger from rural Portugal who speaks 4 languages and can play for Switzerland made the long journey to try out for Bradford City under 18s i had a right-back from papua new guinea come through the academy at my last club. he even ended up being good enough to be a starter for a PL club

csidle posted:I am playing as Parma in 2032, competing for the Serie A title and hoping to finally win the CL. a few seasons back i had a ridiculously talented CM come through the youth academy, i just started playing him straight away and he was the best midfielder in the world by 22. he didnt get poached by PSG (or to be more accurate, nantes, who are basically PSG 2 in my save) but he was also a supporter of the team, so maybe thats why he never left

in my save solskjaer stayed at man u until he retired (sometime in the 2040s IIRC). lampard was also at chelsea for a like 10 years but got sacked eventually. i think legend status at a club buys you a lot more patience on FM than it does in real life the oddest managerial thing i saw though was probably guardiola leaving city after 2 seasons… so he could take the spurs job

last time i did the 'climb the english football pyramid' thing i found that the two challenges were getting from the national league into league two, and from the championship to the premier league. both of those took me a couple of seasons, or maybe three? can't remember. anyway if you can get into the EFL proper you've got a decent chance of hopping straight up the leagues into the championship, or at least it was that way on like FM18 or whatever version of it i did it on. i just signed lots of scandinavian free agents (cheap wages!) and loanees from further up the leagues. there was one danish guy i signed in the national league north who ended up still being a decent squad player for me in the PL

i’ve managed to negotiate a higher salary a few times. if you have a very good rep and you go to a team that has a smaller rep or if you’re a club legend you can usually get them to go one click higher but yeah, never managed anything more than that edit: i also think your salary supposedly affects how much the players listen to you, like if your wage is higher than the player’s they’re less likely to get pissed off etc. no idea how much of an effect this really has or if it’s even really a thing though

Answers Me posted:I’m still plugging away on FM20, and I’m never that arsed about having an updated player database, but I am a sucker for shiny new features. Is it worth me making the jump to the new game yet, do you reckon? 12 years or so here and i’ve bought three (3) versions Probably will get 24, J-League being in is pretty cool and even if it’s a mess someone will put out a fix for it

Eric the Mauve posted:After many years of playing FM, I never promise a player anything, ever. If I try to sign a guy and he demands a promise to play him in a certain role or to strengthen {position} I nope right out. If a guy gets grumpy I sell him. Not worth the hassle. There are lots of talented players in the world. This. and in any case when you promise ‘sell if a bid of [x] is received’, half the time teams will just try to lowball you because the player is unsettled and he’ll end up deciding to stay because there were no acceptable bids
