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* I have been able to transfer straight to Mac at no extra cost, good to know. Don't know if you can help though @RoboFox, I can't get the faces megapack working. I've done Kits, Logos and "Real name fix" easily, but the faces won't work at all. Downloaded it three times as well because I'm fairly sure it's not extracting all of the faces, I only get 32,000 items which I'm fairly sure is nowhere near the whole pack (80,000 if memory serves correctly).

Sorry pal, I do the kits, logos and real names but I disable the player photos. I don't like them. Probably stems from being an old-school Championship Manager traditionalist!

Ozwin Posted 4 April 2017 Share Posted 4 April 2017 The MLS is infuriating. All the players you want are playing in the MLS and you can't buy them with actual transfer funds so you are left looking abroad for US players or players good enough to take up an international spot. It's an interesting way to play but a bloody nightmare. I still don't understand how it lets you give a player a designate contract or a normal one either. It's mad.

Designated contract means you can pay any wage you like but it only counts towards $6000 of the wage cap, you can only have 3 players on designated and one youth designated. You can buy down another players wage cap by using funds (doing this from memory) in the contract options to give you more room to work. Any specific questions keep asking, I managed there for 3 seasons and it took me that long to learn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite fancy trying Athletic in the Spanish league, but only if the 'Basque only' conditions apply in the game! They have done in previous editions of FM, i don't see why this one would be any different. Very challenging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won the league in my second season and managed to poach Griezmann from bitter rivals Sociedad. Only lasted four seasons if memory serves and never won the Champions League, but was a really great challenge developing the youth players.

The game makes it a bit easier for you and limits the players in the Player Search function to only Basque ones. You usually have a decent budget, but it's an effort to get the top players to come (e.g. Griezmann, Inigo Martinez, Javi Martinez) so you really have to trawl your B and C squads for potential, re-train players for different positions. A much different experience to any other club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was my impression and I don't want to get into a massive political argument over Brexit on this thread (that can/has been done elsewhere). Just was wondering how the PL would look and the effect on it if it did pan out as it does in the game? Best start harvesting British youngsters from my youth team!

ThurmastonFox Posted 27 April 2017 Share Posted 27 April 2017 Finally gotten into this seasons version. Felt like a challenge so have taken on Cov. Currently start of Feb in 2nd joint on points with Bolton and Peterborough. 6 points behind MK Dons. The Yak is slack so relying on youth which is working.

stripeyfox Posted 3 May 2017 Author Share Posted 3 May 2017 I’m really enjoying my latest save on the “full fat” version of FM. I intended to make it a Leicester save put things went pear shaped early on with a 7-0 defeat to Arsenal, a 3-0 pasting by Celtic in the first CL game and a devastating 3-2 loss at home to Swansea after being 2-0 up. I decided to jump before I was pushed and left after just a couple of months in charge. The first job that became available was Dover Athletic and so that’s how I ended up there. They were struggling at the bottom of the Conference, but they’d got some decent young players and a couple of old pros. We went on a great run which culminated in promotion via the play offs to the football league for the first time with a splendid 3-0 win against Forest Green Rovers at Wembley. The first season in League Two has been amazing. I’m now on a long unbeaten run on 30 odd games (if you don’t count the Checkatrade Trophy defeat to Watford) stretching back to the middle of the promotion season and top of League Two despite being heavily tipped to be relegated. My free transfer journeyman captain – Steven Schumacher (formerly of Everton) is playing a blinder but my exploits in the EFL cup have been brilliant (possibly helped by a favourable draw): First round – beat Ipswich at the Crabble in Dover’s first ever League Cup tie Second round – edged out Barnet away Third round – fortunate to draw Eastleigh and won 3-1 Fourth round – stuffed Norwich 3-1 at Carrow Road Quarter Final – due to play Villa (away) – and I fancy my chances of a another shock The club turned professional on promotion and I have been steadily expanding the coaching / medical teams. Money is very tight but hoping the cup run will give me some funds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
