Of course, play the game how you enjoy it. I enjoy a good journeyman save myself. However, applying for jobs that aren't real possibilities is probably more detrimental than hopeful for that very reason. In my experience, give it at least a year if not two at a job to establish yourself and grow your reputation.

FM23 - Union Berlin - Tactical Help Please
dankrzyz replied to duff33's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
I've been struggling with similar formations and tactics. Given the Balanced mentality and the bulk of players naturally deeper, Low Block may be too deep? I've suffered defensively every time I've tried Low Block. (I'll be watching this thread for more help!) -
Too safe in possession
dankrzyz replied to GonzaloFlores's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Agreed with the GFF instruction. Also, consider his contribution in other ways, besides goals & assists. -
Yes, exactly!

Think of the squad planner as the manager's private notebook, a simple management tool, in which he or she plans the depth chart for each position this season and in coming seasons. The player's agreed playing time is what you seem to be referring to. This playing time promise is agreed upon when you sign a player's contract, but can also be changed in the player's profile. Agreed playing times include "impact sub", "fringe player", "squad player", "regular starter", et cetera. This is what the player (and their agent and your staff) understands the player's promised place in the team to be.

Hit Early Crosses / Cross More Often
dankrzyz replied to Cultured Left Foot's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Just to confirm, when you’ve turned off HEC and CMO, have you also done anything to limit passing directness? I find that none of these TI/PI work as well if I’m using short(er) passing for the team or players. Dial passing directness up a notch might help? -
Fake players and staff option not working
dankrzyz commented on markf798's issue in All Other Issues
If it's helpful, I've tried this with all 3 game modes and none yielded fake players. I have not added or removed any DB files. (Version 24.1.1) -
Starting a save with fake player names

I’ve had this experience in FM24, too, and it’s been reported in the Bugs forum. -

Also have the same issue. Tried several times with care, but same result. -
Starting a save with fake player names
dankrzyz replied to Dagenham_Dave's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I often do fake names and have never noticed anything like what Dave was asking. I’d assume the software looks at the all the dozens of bits of standard data of a player, but doesn’t have any type of “supplemental” information tied to a real person by a given name. SI could confirm. Even with fake player names, or newgens for that matter, the AI in previous versions tended to overvalue older players… perhaps it overvalued player reputation? Some of the AI roster building changes touted for FM24 might help that. -
I agree, it's important to tie the planner to the tactics screen, however in FM23 it's very clunky and not user-friendly. Crossing my fingers the FM24 squad planner is designed to more elegantly integrate into the tactics screen (all 3 tactics), as well as the in-game roster / substitutions screen. I find myself having to tediously click back and forth, back and forth, between tactics or in-game to see what I spent time laying out in the squad planner.
