  1. Spectrum and Kevin Tom's Football Manager, then got a Spectrum 128 and loved Football Director 2 by D & H Games, still play it occasionally on my phone today.
  2. this worked for me, need to redo staff responsibilities when you reload. Go into preferences and untick "automatically overwrite custom panels" and Untick "use caching to decrease loading time" as well - Clear the cache - bottom left "reset" dropdown - Reload the skin - Set your panels, continue a day, save your game, close and restart FM - It seems to be a issue in the default skin as well for some.

  4. Priorities should lay with FM24 not FM25, they have released a massively flawed game that paying customers have every right to expect it to be fixed as per originally advertised. I think an earlier release would be better even if not perfect, the feedback surely would help get things sorted far quicker, as the Beta release proved, so much wrong was missed last time, how do we know the same people will notice the issues and problems again this time?
  5. Thank you to Madsheep2001, for engaging with us on here, not easy at times. I've played CM and FM since the very first red box back in 92. Seen some great versions, and the odd bad one. I still play CM97 and 01/02 on my mobile phone. Really am though disappointed with Miles and the attitude of many at Si Games. They told us how polished this version is, the best AI, and the truth is its the worst in the 30 year history, anyone wanting to play a proper long term save can't. Yet Miles is still gloating on twitter about the success. Game was obviously not fit for release and should have been delayed, testing process obviously didn't do its job either. Seem to me those playing early were those gloating about super tactics they had made for Man City or PSG on their YouTube channels, and not spotting the glaring issues. I be happy to pay full price for FM25 next year and test it months early to get major bugs sorted before launch, I'm sure other real fans would to. So many here support and are constructive, but at the moment we have been treated poorly to a product not fit for purpose and basically told to wait 2 months in the hope it may work.
  6. Anyone else finding an issue with contracts? I have players who only signed a new contract 12months ago asking for a new contract. They want double the wages, some of these I can't offer as outside of what I am able to offer. If I offer to meet them say half way with good bonuses in place, the agent comes back and wants 20% plus more than they first asked for. What happened to haggling? One player wanted a jump from 18k to 40k, I could only offer 30k, max appearance and bonuses, and they came back asking for £48.5K . Problem is now I have moral destroyed as 4 players want contacts I can't offer and have kicked off with other players. I might get the sack if I don't sort this out, which is ridiculous because the club have decided what the maximum amount I can offer. On the high scoring games, I am only seeing this when I play against a 4-4-2 formation, whenever I play one of them it gets silly, but other formations seem to be realistic in Div 2 in Germany.
  7. What will happen first? 1, Southampton to be relegated? 2. Energy prices to go down? 3. Man Utd to get a pen against them at Old Trafford? 4. Or the patch to arrive?
  8. I fully understand why they don't give an estimated date for release, they find a major issue, that release could be delayed by weeks. Then they look stupid and will receive lots of negative press. I don't though understand why last week for example they couldn't have said, "Be patient, but it won't be this week". That way some here know to start a new game or season whilst waiting. I do love all the comments of "I'm not buying it again", "that's it, I'm done with Football Manager". What you going to play instead? Its not like anything comes close to this, in Football manager type games. Be patient, I'm waiting and playing CM01/02 instead, nearly getting Torquay promoted. Its funny when you go back to a really old version what you miss from now (talking to players in game and tactical options), to what you don't miss (media stuff).
  9. It's been 20 years since I last played it, but I'm keeping myself busy whilst waiting for the patch by playing CM01/02. Funny what comes back to you as you start playing. Seeing how far I can take Torquay before the patch arrives.
  10. I have just had this happen with Portsmouth after over two weeks of playing, game is now unplayable. Please tell me this is fixed for the next patch as it makes a game with Portsmouth impossible.
