4everfox Posted 16 November 2016 Share Posted 16 November 2016 I'm going for a non league save after becoming disillusioned with winning every week with Liverpool, and I've decided to take the plunge with FC United. Plan is to get to the Premier League in ten seasons and win it in fifteen. Football Manager 2018 should be out by then. Just won the intra-squad friendly 8-0 which has made me realise how screwed I am if a few first team players get injured because our reserves are completely terrible.

Col city fan Posted 16 November 2016 Share Posted 16 November 2016 Bought it... Not overly impressed really. The match graphics are cool but the game play isn't much different to 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboFox Posted 16 November 2016 Share Posted 16 November 2016 Had a few days to play about 15 games in my first season, and I've got to say the game is laptop-throwingly frustrating at times. Even more so than ever before. The match engine is probably most broken I've ever seen it. I've had the situation that @Beliall posted more than once... Ridiculous speculative shots or clearances that just piss-roll past moronic glitchy keepers. I've probably hit the post or the bar more times that I've scored this season too, must be at least once per game. Last night my striker had a penalty saved acrobatically by the keeper and the ball was basically rolling along the goal-line, begging for a tap in... Instead of doing just that, he decided to run up to it, turn, and play a lovely chipped pass back to a waiting midfielder stood outside the penalty box. I've got to say, I'm finding this year's harder than ever... Admittedly my FC Wil team aren't world beaters, but I just can't seem to get my tactics right. Predicted to finish 2nd in the league, and I'm floating in mid-table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynefox Posted 16 November 2016 Share Posted 16 November 2016 This is ****ing bollocks. I have my save on "the cloud" - and no for some reason it says "file could not be load" when I want to play now? It's saved to the cloud FFS. How can it be corrupted?

Fox92 Posted 16 November 2016 Share Posted 16 November 2016 I've scored two of those slow shots already this season (about 10 games in now) with the comment "...scores a total fluke". Also last night I played Luton. I got to HT at 0-0 and then second half they scored, no joke, 3 in 3 minutes. 53 mins in I was 3-0 down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try logging out of Steam, then back in again. Worked for me on my cross save On the cross save (between PC and tablet) you have to log out and close the program after saving for it to upload.

From Passion4FM: "The staff responsibilities of HoYD is directly tied to the clubs youth intake. You will benefit from the scouting knowledge of the staff personnel. This means that it can be valuable to pick a HoYD with a scouting knowledge from nations with high youth rating – which influence on the quality of regens production. Nations such as Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England, Spain or Italy can be worthy countries to search for a new HoYD in. His personality will also be important. Selecting an HoYD who has an positive personality will most often let you see youth players with similar personalities coming through the annual youth intake, as your excellent head of youth development will often select youth players with similar personality like himself. I tend to look for backroom staffs with personalities such as Model Professional, Professional, Resolute, Determined or fairly Determined. His tactical preferences can influence on the type of youth players coming through in the annual youth intake. It will be important to select an HoYD with some of the same preferences as your playing style (passing style / playing mentality) and the choice of preferred formation."

I lost 5 in a row in October then went 25 games unbeaten and that basically lead to winning the league with another little run at the end lots of 1-0 and 2-0, reminded me of us last season! Really doubting i'll stay up in the prem but switching to 5-3-2 has made a difference so maybe there is hope! Funnily enough sounds pretty much how it went for me, canned the ulloa loan deal as sakho from West Ham became available for loan and he did some damage, ended up pipping Newcastle to top spot... roll on the prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 16 November 2016 Share Posted 16 November 2016 Think im coming to the end of my time at Dinamo Moscow. Chairman has sold another player on deadline day and we're just stuck in mid table every year and very inconsistent. Tried new formations etc but we're just getting worse.

Played the first friendly in 3D and hated it. Played in 2D ever since. I just prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 17 November 2016 Share Posted 17 November 2016 I stuck to the 2d for years. It was weird getting used to the 3d engine. Once you do, it's much better, tbh. You get a much better appreciation for space and who's doing what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 17 November 2016 Share Posted 17 November 2016 I resigned at Dinamo Moscow after just over 7 years. I think the Russian League is great, so competitive. Was offered a job interview at Krasnodar that had x2 wage budget and 24m transfer budget but they chose someone else. I opened up the Swiss league and for some reason every team (except Basel, sadly) were looking for a manager so I took the Young Boys job whose season began in just 11 days and because we'd just loaded the league, we had 0 members of staff Then to add to that apparently we couldn't comply with the squad registration rules so I couldn't do anything really. I could choose 4 first teamers then the rest of the squad was filled with my 3 u21 squad players, 2 u19 squad players and a bunch of greyed out players. I went on holiday for a few months to see if anything would change and I saw the first match I missed my main team actually played. I loaded up the game from that point and they still couldn't be registered. I had a CL qualifier against Spartak Moscow (one of the best in Russia in 2023) afterwards who bizarrely I absolutely murdered over the two legs and obviously lot on aggregate. After the first leg I was able to pick my proper team for the league but the whole thing has kinda put me off so I think i'll load it back up from when I was unemployed in the winter and maybe see if Russia will offer me their job for the 3rd time or failing that another top Russian team as I fairly regularly had job offers whilst at Dinamo from clubs like Rubin and Lokomotiv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
