Player with high PA not improving
XaW replied to ROUFIANOS's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Yes, some players will never reach their potential. Reaching the potential comes down to a myriad of factors, but the players application to his craft is one (personality especially professionalism, but also determination and ambition), the right matching is also one. You say you play in the Greek league? Unless you are far into the future where that one of the best in the world, that can be too low a league for him to develop further. Playing against lower rated players can mean he is not challenged enough on a daily basis and is essentially stuck at his current level. Then again, it could be a temporary blip to, and he might improve more as he gets older. All players have a development curve where some improve early, some middle, and some late, but all depend on getting the correct factors at the right time. -
Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread
XaW replied to Kyle Brown's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I agree with you, at least to a certain degree. I think xG can be a valuable identifier of which side created the most or best chances in a game. Which in itself often is a factor in who "dominated" the match. But as with everything else, it needs to be viewed in a big picture, and not in isolation. -
Football Manager 2024 Official Feedback Thread
XaW replied to Kyle Brown's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
If the game is cheating, then I often feel I'm getting the benefit. I mean, I just had this game now. Did I deserve this 8-1 win over QPR? I would say we were good for a win, but not by 8 with a sub 2 xG. Some times you get lucky, some times you get unlucky, just roll with it. If you are unlucky almost every match, then I'd challenge if it's even got anything to do with luck at all! -
Also, I asked a Dutch person if the name was plausible, and turns out, it is. Monster is a not that uncommon as a last name, and Cock is apparently a somewhat rare, but real first name. An example is Cock Jol (the brother of Martin Jol previously at Tottenham), who has been an assistant at Hamburg and Fulham (https://www.transfermarkt.com/cock-jol/profil/trainer/7164). Guess you learn every day...

As I said above, there is a file that limits banned names, but if the user has removed it, then things can happen. If the user haven't, then this is a candidate to be added to that list. (Unless that name is plausible for Dutch people, hell they have Jizz Hornkamp and Tiny Cox as examples of a names that doesn't ring well in English....)

It restricts what team a human manager can manage. If you don't want any restrictions, select "All". Do note that the leagues loaded will also affect this, so you can't manage in a league you haven't loaded. I think it's mostly used for network saves where you want to restrict everyone to a certain country.

Never broken my hand, but I have broken a finger catching a ball as a goalkeeper before. No clue how it happened, it was just a shooting pain in my finger as I caught it and then it got swollen and I went to the ER the next day when it kept getting worse.

Have you deleted certain files to circumvent lisences? There is a file in there that should stop these types of names from generating, but I've noticed that most guides tell you to delete the file for whatever reason. Could be that, or that this combo should be added to it.

The FM24 Youth Academy Challenge
XaW replied to darren1983's topic in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments
XaW - Marine FC - Season 2034/35 (Season 11) - Premier League Squad | Transfers | Finances Another season we can be proud of! Even if we are solid mid-table, I can't really ask for more currently. And we managed to a major cup run to win the FA Cup, I'm just elated. We really need to get the board to accept improvements to our youth facilities though, as they keep rejecting it for some reason. I mean, we have over £100m in the bank, and club vision to develop youngsters, so I can't see why they would reject it... But here we are. On to the next season where we will compete in Europe for the first time! Also, we had 3 players in the NXGN this season! FA Cup: We beat Manchester City, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Derby, and West Ham to reach the final. There we got the better of Manchester United to claim the cup! Carabao Cup: We beat Hull, Southampton, and Brentford before we lost to Manchester United in the quarter final. Best players from the academy: James Nash 31a - Another strong season from our wonderkid full back. Jason Fitzgerald 27g - A good season by our goalkeeper. Perhaps because he is being pushed by Peter Bedia 31c now. Kevin Gallagher 27a - I was planning to rotate him out of the side, but he just started to deliver, so he kept his spot and did great. New club records: Most league apps - Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - 336 apps Most league goals - Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - 163 goals Got one more improvement accepted this season. U21s They finished 10th in the English U21 Division 3 this season. EFL Trophy: The faced Bradford City, Tranmere, and Port Vale in the group stage. They finished 4th and got knocked out. U21 Premier Division Cup: They faced Crystal Palace, Brighton, and Lincoln in the group stage. They finished 3rd and got knocked out. U18s They got promoted into the U18 Premier League this season where they finished 2nd in the North group. FA Youth Cup: They beat Crystal Palace before they lost to Liverpool in the 4th round. U18 Premier League Cup: They faced Crystal Palace, Arsenal, and Leeds in the group stage. They finished 2nd and got knocked out.
