I'm frustrated

I can't really seem to get into the game. I really like it but I find myself playing two seasons max

Every time I load a game. I get bored and want to start another. Iv looked at challenges and stuff but I dont fancy doing any of them

What should I do?

What kind of teams do you manage? I always start with a lower league club and work my way up. If I get to the top, I love the challenge of keeping them there by developing the next generation of talent.

Iv managed arsenal, Liverpool, man city. Tried Lille, r Madrid, Malaga, Dortmund, Leicester, Napoli and more.

Try playing as a smaller team, rather than the big boys all the time. It means you have to look for players that aren't well known and when you have some success it tends to mean more.

I used to only manage in the top 2 leagues and start off with a high rep. However the game I'm playing at the moment I started unemployed, with sunday league rep and I'm 4 seasons in and it's one of the best games I've had on FM.

Having abit of a budget is what I like though. Who do you suggest?

that's pretty much the opposite to what I like do you always enable transfer budgets before you start a game? I always start with nothing, but i'm guessing a team like Sheffield Wed/United wold have a decent budget. With my Plymouth team, they have a lot of promising young players who can be sold for decent fees so that gives you a little cash to spend.

Set yourself a target that can only be achieved after a large number of seasons, like taking a lower league team to the top or building a squad with just youth products.

edit yourself and a few mates into the game. i do this when i start to lose interest and it always keeps me going. got to the point where i even edit in my own team (have a look in the editore hideaway forum if you need any pointers)

You could try and turn teams like Zenit or PSG into european powerhouses. If not you could take up international management, Azerbaijan WC 2099!

We (Sheffield United) have no money to spend on the game and are 33k over wage budget and lose money badly each month.

i like the sound of this! Might try England WC 2099

Try a new league, I'm currently managing in the south african league and enjoying it!

I don't know what to suggest, but i'm managing Fulham(even though after getting them to EL final in my first season I have to re-start fk you windows updates). I turn the first transfer window off, only buy within my means and only players that Fulham could realistically attain, whilst trying to reduce the wage bill and buying cheaper, younger prospects. It's so much more fun than managing a rich club. I don't like spending tbh.

Try to find a team with a sugar daddy, they just dont stop feeding money until you win it all. And then move to manu,barca etc

Pick any lower team & edit yourself a sugar daddy. Lovely games!!!!

Have a look in the "What team should I be?" in the Good Player & Team Guide, there's loads of good ideas/suggestions for teams to manage in there:thup: I hope you find something soon!

Life is short, don't waste it doing something you don't enjoy. Give up with the game and go outside. You might find after a month or so that you have renewed passion for the game. If so, try again.

this!

I took a month or so away from the game until I was browsing the forums and read of SFraser's death, which I'd had no idea about. So after going through the memorial thread and reading lots of the great guides he made, I found that there was so much of the game I hadn't even thought about. It made me feel as if before I was just making a basic tactic, picking my players and hitting continue. However since I resumed playing I've been progressing a lot more slowly, taking a lot more things into account (with my tactics, training and match preparation) before hitting continue and acheiving much better results. I never used to even study the opposition at all, I'd just play the same tactic and find myself getting nowhere. Now everytime I find a good guide I'll save the page to my computer (including all of SFrasers) since I don't always have internet access and I've learnt a hell of a lot more about the game. This might not be the situation with you and why you're frustrated but just sharing my personal experience with getting back into the game.
