    Usually a combination of two famous footballers from the particular nation.

    I think the problem with this has always been that everybody has a different answer, depending on who you speak to. I always go with a large player pool because, like you, I love to see regens pop up in the more obscure nations, especially with the odd chance of a really quality player coming up from somewhere like Mayotte or Tonga. So for that reason, I use a custom database option and try to load around 120-150k players. The game then (to my knowledge) tries to keep the world at around this figure by having more regens generate around the world. I usually do this but only have about 5 or 6 nations loaded (England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and then usually whatever nation I'm playing in) However, I've heard some people say (and I'm watching a Bust The Net video right now where he says exactly this) that the above just bloats the game, and there's no point in having that many players when you have so few leagues, because then players aren't developing as well as the rest of the world aren't processing proper matches etc, and so he and they will always recommend maybe slightly less players, but loading more leagues to improve player development and better transfer market performance etc. So I suppose I'm not really helping answer the question when I say it, but it's really just a case of trial and error and doing what is right for you for each particular save

    If his football career doesn't take off, he could probably get a job down the building site...

    That's him in save I was playing. Had him for a season before he went to Juve for £18m, played 10 games there and then went to RB Leipzig. I've included his injury history in a panel. He gets injured a fair bit, but its mostly 2-3 weeks, he's had no major injuries in 3 completed seasons

    As an update, we reached the end of season 3. As we were approaching mid season, I was offered the chance to change expectations, both options coming with further reducing our transfer budget. Got to the end of the season, £50m in the black and our budget is now -£13.9m and the board will not discuss adjustments. So I'm resigned to a new save and the realisation that either it's a bug or the feature not working as intended.

    I'll start with the caveat that this is not necessarily a bug, it might be me misunderstanding how the feature is implement and it might resolves itself at the end of the coming (third) season however: Currently managing Hertha Berlin, started with the 'original' database option and first window transfer activity turned off. The club has some debt, so I ended the first season around £20m in the red but managed to somewhat claw it back after promotion. Start of the third season now and as the screenshot shows, we have £34m in the bank currently. However, throughout the entirety of the save we've had a negative transfer budget which runs from the pictures £9.9m and has been as high as around £13m. It seems to fluctuate, despite the fact that I can't spend any money. The problem I'm now having and as I've pictured, is that the board will not give us any transfer budget and completely refuses to negotiate this point. The "guaranteed budget" for next season is £0 and has been for the duration of the save. So I'm limited to free signings, but only free signings where I can negotiate £0 for both signing on and agent fees, which limits me options a little too. I'm not sure if this is something that would be considered a bug, whether the negative transfer budget feature isn't working as intended, or if we finish this season in the black, which we should, things will maybe resolve themselves? Figured I'd put it here just in case!

    Oh damn, I didn't know that. Must have something about him then! He's no interest in joining my team (Hertha) which is now probably understandable tbf. If we get promoted and he's not moved, I'll be asking again
  9. dalenichol
    Not seen him mentioned yet, and I don't believe he's a regen but potentially one of those random PA/CA players. Will be looking to sign him if possible, he looks ridiculous

    Continue playing the Sporting Lisbon beta save, I only started it yesterday and I doubt the main release is going to change all that much for me
  11. dalenichol
    I'm really intrigued by the 'detail level' screen which I hadn't really considered before. I already play with a custom database to try and get as many players in the game as possible, but it'll be interesting to see what impact DL has. I've changed it so that all continental club comps and more of the international tournaments have higher level of detail now

    The only bug I've encountered, but is unfortunately common, is the game will randomly crash to desktop during matches or during process. Sometimes it generates a crash dump, sometimes it doesn't, but I've reported it and awaiting response. Other than that, the beta really does feel pretty polished.
  13. dalenichol
    Just to update that this is still happening. I have more crash dump files that I can upload, too.
  14. dalenichol
    I think it's one that's coming up a lot but figured it was only right that I follow the process and report. I was having issues with the game crashing to desktop during matches, however that has now switched to the game crashing to desktop whilst processing from one day to the next. This has also happened when setting the game to go on holiday until the next match day. I've attached the dmp files and the screenshots that the game saved with them. 5a59d45c-5016-40b8-994d-80045130822d.dmp 27d506b4-3f69-45be-ac90-a4dc84567e49.dmp 9956bc6d-a3e7-4a7a-a140-715a757ad1d9.dmp

    Had to load up one of my old saves with RC Luxembourg. We'd started to produce some really good players, but he was by far the best.

    Konami are very, very protective over their J-League licence. I think they have an exclusive deal with E-Football/PES whatever they're calling themselves at the moment, as well as obviously the Winning Eleven franchise in Japan. I'm going to assume it's potentially a cost restriction for SI/FM but that's purely an assumption on my part, however I can imagine they probably want a stupid amount of money to include the league, which in all honestly probably wouldn't be an amount that justifies its inclusion in the game, as much as I'd like it in.
