does the manager creator still look like this



because gently caress me that model's shameful, it's like they got a work experience kid to knock some poo poo together in a fortnight

redundant would be a step up

it actively makes the game look like a $5 piece of poo poo from ten years ago

You can always try 4-2-2-2, 3-5-2, 5-3-2, and/or the 4-1-2-1-2.

4-3-1-2 is a good narrow attack-minded formation (three central midfielders and one attacking mid)

My favourite commentary thing is

*defender taps the ball out for a throw-in / corner*
"He took no chances there"
"He launched it into Row Z!"

it also better not have graphical assets created by a placement student, but we both know it will in fact have both those things

If a club really doesn't want to sell, and they're not in financial difficulties, you're gonna get gouged badly.

You can always try talking in the media about how much you want to sign him, but unless you're a bigger club than Sporting it probably won't do much to unsettle him

Also, why is it so much harder for me to win the league than the Champions League? My last 2 saves I've won the CL a year before winning the PL

Is it because you have more trouble breaking down poo poo teams with 10 behind the ball than going toe to toe?

I can't wait to have some Opta Joe knockoff smug oval office filling my inbox with shite like "Your pass completion in that match was 92%. Slick." as if it wasn't bad enough being asked about your tackling proficiency percentage every fortnight for 12 years

Fuckin bullshit I've got back to 09 on steam ffs
i bought 16 straight games in the series, from CM00/01 to FM15. didn't buy 16 largely because of how bad the design-a-manager graphical assets were. not even joking.

does FM16 still use that one graphical asset for the tunnel that has the man utd logo not-quite photoshopped out?

I tried a 2-3-5 as Real Madrid once just for fun in like FM10 or something. It worked for the few games I bothered playing but only because the players were so good. It was hilariously weak to wingers and crosses into the box.
tbh that might not have been your tactics mate

FM18.0 - reduced likelihood of players taking long shots
FM18.1 - increased likelihood of players taking long shots
FM18.2 - slightly reduced likelihood of players taking long shots
