  1. Well put. You enhanced what I was trying to say but in a much better way.
  2. Hello zach! In my pov your post misses the point. IMO scouting should be about building up a team-specific database. For example theres a player tearing up my division, there should be a report of some sort on him. "Yeah he's good because of x and y, however he doesn't want join us because he wants to play on a higher level". As of now, I am one of them who doesn't get any fruitfull feedback from my scouts. I didn't play fm23 because of various reason but what I liked about fm22 was that I could see what teams had been scouted and how many times. I'm rambling on but in general scouts should watch games constantly so that one would have team specific database as all the teams nowadays work around. I'm hugely disappointed and I will retire this game once a release I'm waiting for is out. Sadly I can quit totally, this game have been with my my whole life but all these sweeping answers in this thread have pushed me over the edge. Good riddance.
  3. i think ive found the root of this annoyances. Posted my answer in this thread. EDIT: False alarm, my assistant manager is still doing his thing and spending my scouting budget.
  4. I've had the same problems. Dof keep suggesting targets from all over the world and draining the budget. In a new save I was dead set on not using a dog because of this. Instead my assistant managers keep giving target suggestion and again draining my budget. Mad as **** I started looking for why this was, and I think I found it. Go to staff, responsibilities, advice and reports. At the top there are three roll downs. Analyst reports, staff meeting and... player target frequency. It's set on every week, I changed it to never. And now I don't get any more expensive reports. EDIT: It didnt work. Assistant manager is still doing his own thing and draining the scouting budget.
  5. Im going to try this out! How ever, i play with a different currency - will it affect or is it all the same? Just look at the numbers per se.
  6. I just want to add my name into the basket. Imagine all the people experience this issue but dont write in here or any other part of the forum? I have multiple saves up and running but this scouting ineffeciency is killing almost all joy out of it. Please, could you please give the dog a bone? Can you confirm the issue and perhas give a hint when this will be fixed?
  7. This thread has been incredible to read. To read your thought process and your methods has given me very much new and good information. Thank you!
  8. I'm from Sweden. We have a Swedish-speaking podcast named "when we were kings", with a sportjournalist named Erik Niva. He's made countless episode talking special teams and their story. They just did a three episode a 3-4 h each on ajax 94/95 season. it was from there I got the floating defender reference. I totally agree with your reasoning, it's just the Rijkaard role that have puzzled me.
  9. Nice write up! Will look up your tactics more when I'm home. However,did you play around with the Rijkaard role anything? He did see himself as a floating defender and the fact he at times dropped into back line in prolonged defending? I did a quick thingy where my aim was defending as a 433 and morph into 343 diamond. Ifb's, libero. However I didn't get the diamond shape as I wanted with the DM moving parallel with the cm(s) behind a cm(a). More testing is needed after your post. Keep up the good work!
  10. I've had the same problems (swedish 3rd tier). They are scouting but they end up under scouted players and not in the focuses. I previously had the last or second to last range. However I've sold some players and increased my scouting budget to be able to get the national reach and now I get quite some recomendations in the focuses again.
  11. Christmas came early! I know what I'm doing tonight!
  12. I love your threads about defence first(and all the other things youve done). I've played this game since forever. And the last couple of years with trends more on the front foot, have made me more dead set on "countering the meta". I also like high engine football (spurs fan IRL and loving ange - to dare is to do) but am at the same time immensely impressed with the likes of simeone who goes against the grain. I haven't been able to recreate this in FM, understandably, because it takes a well oiled team and skills to do what they've done. Personally I'm playing with Aik Solna in Sweden. They have good experienced centerbacks. Decent/good fullbacks and good engine guys in midfield. Wonderchild Jonah kusi-asare at striker position. I set up a 433 in the mourinho mould. Mid to low block, standard to less press but get stuck in. I used attacking mentality because when we got the ball we should attack with intent. But tried to tone it down with be more disciplined and lower tempo. All the statistics said I overachieved and i started listening to the in-game advice. And played with balanced or cautious mentality and my goals per game dropped. Now I'm about to start my 2nd season and I'm a bit confused to how I should play. My mindset is defence first but the lower mentalities seems to hinder my goal production. I am one of those who have played for a long time, read what is to be read and still can't explain the ME to other people. 😆 I understand this may have come out more philosophical than concrete. Ps. This is why I don't post much.
  13. Heya, scrolled through the thread and had the scaling issues after cleared cache and restart. So i downloaded the paper file and added it, now my FM is broken. After the loading there's only blackness, but the game is running. What to do?
  14. Hello! Im managin in sweden and ive played aggressive defensive football the last season. Cautious mentality, higher tempo, lower LOE and d-line. I dont aim to dominate posession because i want to win the ball and progress fast with shorter passes. Here comes the question; how do i concede possesion (and still keep the potency?) Sometimes i unwillingly dominate posession and i dont want that. Do i up or down my mentality? Passing directness and tempo? Lower LOE even more?
