I think so because I've never noticed it before. It's pissing me off now though. I very rarely turn of mid game but having had my main ball winning midfielder sent off the previous game, my backup player then gets sent off. So unrealistic. I must be on 4 or 5 red cards all ready depsite the fact I'm only just passed December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start unemployed. See who wants me. Work my way to the top, taking whatever jobs I fancy. I haven't had a decent save on 16 or 17 so this is sort of a last hurrah for me for a while if it doesn't go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwin Posted 16 March 2017 Share Posted 16 March 2017 Ended up in Finland as TPS and they've only got bloody Mika Aaritalo. What an absolute blast from the past, he used to become immense and now he's playing part time in the Finnish second division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Is there a way you can design your ground on here? I've noticed some grounds on the game look like their counterparts in real life and others generally don't. Old Trafford looks a spitting image, how can I change this.. IF there is a way? Just been told the King Power will be increased to a 48,000 capacity and I will be ground sharing with Aston Villa until it is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 20 March 2017 Share Posted 20 March 2017 Started a game as Genoa yesterday evening. Really bad at getting into a game on this, two full seasons at Hamburg and one with Leeds are the only times I've managed beyond Christmas on any save this year. Hopefully this will be different. It seems a good challenge. Bang average squad and my only signing pre-season was to bring in Rugani on loan from Juve, which is quite a coup. In the league I've played 8, won 5 drawn 2 and just lost my first game of the season to Sassuolo. Very happy with that. My front three of Darko Lazovic, Diego Laxalt and Simeone Jr have surprisingly proved potent, with Mattia Perin excellent in between the sticks. Could be a good game, though some Redknapp style wheeling/dealing is likely to be required for a while to get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 21 March 2017 Share Posted 21 March 2017 Got the brexit email last night- no work permits after the end of the season I'm in (18/19). So, if I were to go mad with precontracts for young players on the continent in the January window (So, harvesting the youth squads) to join in the summer would I still get them?

Donut Posted 21 March 2017 Share Posted 21 March 2017 Hopefully wanted to start a bit of a tactical discussion. It seems like most people on football manager try to create a form of elegant, short passing precise play tactic when they manage a team. I have done so myself and had great success managing Arsenal, Barcelona with back to back quadruples, and dropping down a league in England, Aston Villa as you could see earlier in the thread where my tactic led them to 106 league points in the end and the championship title. Id always had a desire for some reason to manage AFC Wimbledon on the game, and this was mostly down to one thing. Create an old school long ball tactic that there seems to be very little discussion on. To return Wimbledon back to their Crazy Gang days. In my first season, I scored 72 points with them and got them up through the playoffs into the championship. Lyle Taylor scored 31 league goals for me and that was after a very ropey start losing first 3 league games in a row. I have screenshots to show my tactical approach that im using, but has anyone tried to develop a typical Joe Kinnear with the crazy gang, the John Beck days of Cambridge United powered by Dion Dublin or a Tony Pulis longball game on football manager?

I've got a good squad and they're all technically good so why the so many miss placed passes? Is it the way I've got them set up as control and fluid?

Could be a good game, though some Redknapp style wheeling/dealing is likely to be required for a while to get anywhere. Despite my low expectations, I managed to win the Serie A title in my first season as Genoa, with my only signings being Daniele Rugani on loan at the back and Marko Grujic on loan from Liverpool in the middle of the park. Absolutely mental season, I won the title with just 76 points with 6 points separating the top 7 at the end of the season. Going into the final game I was joint second with Torino, who I had at home on the last day. Inter, a point clear, had a seemingly straightforward trip to lowly Cagliari, however they managed to lose 1-0. Fiorentina were relegated with a half decent team alongside Atalanta and Crotone. Juventus finished 6th but won the Champions League beating Spurs in the final. Good news as Italy now have that fourth Champions League spot again at the expense of Germany. It was a fun first season, one of the most enjoyable I've had in a few years. I was slightly disappointed with my transfer budget for season two having won the title the year before, but that has added to the enjoyment in ways as my squad consists of a decent first 11 with loan players and kids backing them up. Getting Balotelli on a free, Benassi on loan with a view to a perm and Paredes and Berardi for just £16m combined is definite progress, though all four of those players had disappointing seasons with their previous clubs.

Ozwin Posted 27 March 2017 Share Posted 27 March 2017 Started in the Finnish 2nd division on a journeyman, did well, got a job in the Finnish 1st division, did crap. Resigned because there was absolutely no maneuvering with finances and it wasn't fun at all. Now I'm at Real Salt Lake City in the MLS. Got loads of money, haven't a clue what half the rules are about but it's by far the best team I've had so far and will hopefully be more long term now.

Dan LCFC Posted 28 March 2017 Share Posted 28 March 2017 I can't believe how effective basic 4-4-2 is. Two attacking wingers, advanced forward and defensive forward, standard back four, BBM & roaming playmaker. That formation, used for half a season at Barnsley, had me 2nd in the table for that half of the year after being 22nd in the first half of it. Used to love that formation on the old FM. Think it was 11 I took Peterborough to the latter rounds of the Champions League using it, a really basic formation with two rapid forwards and two rapid wingers. Over-powered. Speaking of over-powered, Nahki Wells got 47 goals for Huddersfield on my save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you download Steam client on your Mac, it should allow you to re-download FM at no extra cost. I play mine on my MacBook Pro, it works perfectly. There's no difference in the PC / Mac versions to my knowledge bar the obvious basic operating system differences like button commands, etc ...and the general superior stability that a Mac offers over a PC *lights fuse and runs away* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
