Billions

Can you ever get a billion or more?

I'd suppose so, unless the game is fixed to stop at a certain amount.

But it would take a lot of saving LOL.

Its probably possible depends on your board, my Ajax board cream about 16 million off my profits every season, if you have a board that dont touch the cash and your a good selling club with low assets then why not

It's technically possible, but some of that is usually put into a 'reserve fund'.

With edited data yes, while waiting for the patch i made a BSP team loaded and we had 1bill transfer budget

Iirc you can get a maximum of about £2b, then the board keep putting money into the "reserve fund".

I think the reserve fund is to protect the value a little over 2billion (I can't remember it exactly) where the positive numbers roll round into negative, what basically happens is you are very very rich and suddenly find yourself over 2billion in debt after a certain point

but, to actually answer your question, yes you can though to do it via legitimate means would be tough and take a very long time

a quick look at my programming notes reveals that the value is 2,147,483,647

yes you can do it but i dont understand is why does the money become a negative after £2bn ?

yes you can do it but i dont understand is why does the money become a negative after £2bn ?

It's just a programming 'limitation'. When it gets to the top of the range, it just turns negative because it can't go higher. If the value is higher - it would require more processing power. Something along those lines

A programmer could probably tell you a lot better than I can

yes you can do it but i dont understand is why does the money become a negative after £2bn ?

Hardcoded limit in the FM core or something?

its a bit severe though, you could of finally made your club the best and have an awesome finances then suddenly your in administration lol?

surely just it stopping at £2bn and only going lower would be better?

You won't get to 2bn because money is moved to a reserve fund before you can get to it.

There are different kinds of "blocks" for storing numbers in your computer. They're using a signed 32-bit integer. In binary math, 31 bits gets you to 2,147,483,647. The last bit that would take you beyond that is reserved for the +/- sign, so when the program adds $1, rather than coming out to 2,147,483,648, it flips the +/- bit, so now you have a negative number.

Here's what +/-1 looks like in a signed 32-bit integer:

000000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 = +1

100000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 = -1

So if:

01111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 = 2,147,483,647

Then:

11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 = -2,147,483,647

See, that magic bit at the end is what gets flipped when you try to go above 2,147,483,647, but in a signed integer you get a negative number instead of a larger value. Simple enough, eh?

It's something you'll see in all sorts of situations in computer games: a character's level can be hacked to a maximum of 255, or health can be hacked to a max of 65,535 (or 32,767). These sorts of things sound familiar?

It's also something that can occasionally provide a few strange bugs on forums and so on. Due to some poorly-written hacks for a vBulletin forum I'm a moderator on, it's possible for someone to have "0" posts but still have posts on the forum, and if we delete one of those posts, their postcount jumps from 0 to 4,294,967,295 and requires an admin to manually reset their postcount to 0.

If you mean richest clubs my long term save in 10.2 Real Madrid was worth 2.49 billion US dollars.

And yes every year or 2 I get a message that they put money into a reserve fund. I have 216 million dollar turnover a year on average. Keep in mind that in that save I won practically everything.
