noikeee Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 My method for a while now has been to take the pics with Lightshot, then drag and drop all of them to Imgur. I find this more convenient than Gyazo because whilst Gyazo is super handy for taking a single screenshot, my updates almost always have like a dozen of them and I don't want to go back and forth between writing and screenshoting. Lightshot is fantastically handy, it also has the option of directly uploading to their hosting site if you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
git2thachoppa Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I keep finding incredible team names while playing FM 07. I've avoided mentioning them, as Sod's Law means I'll stop seeing the incredible names once I start writing them down, but let's test the law. (Especially as I'm now managing Young Boys.) So the one I always remember is a team in Bolivia, who are called 'The Strongest'. Today's team is Hong Kong 2008... they were founded in 2002.

Jason the Yank Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There's also FC Santa Claus in Finland, which I remember somewhere here did a save with them a few releases back. Finland is great for team names, I also remember an FC Jazz and FCJ Blackbird. Not a playable league, but Ghana has Hearts of Oak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason the Yank Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 So I've started a save with my usual starting points (unemployed, Sunday League player, no badges) and I'm one month into the Swedish season with IS Halmia. Which is about 3 weeks further than I've got into any other season on FM 17. Won my first match, then lost 2, then conceded a late equalizer at the bottom side but finally getting a win. So I'm 2-1-2, but unfortunately the board want the team to reach the promotion playoff, and the media is picking us for 3rd. Plus the club is losing money hand over fist (although I'm still well below the wage budget). And I've already cocked up a contract extension by not realizing projected player status (key player, first team player, etc.) is on the initial "promises" screen. Great success!

Been playing this since back in 97 when I was just 15 years old (a looong time ago). Liking the game. 1st save, just do the usual trick. Start with your favourite club (Chester) and work out the basics till you get sacked... Only thing is... 14 games into the 2020/21 season and I'm 3rd in the Championship... Managed to get 3 promotions on the bounce, all by winning the play-offs in the Vanarama Conference, League Two and League One respectively. I've done Non-League to top flight before back on FM15 a couple of years ago, but that took 5 seasons, this would be a personal best if I somehow manage to go up again. God knows what this will mean with the ground. Capacity is still only 5,500! And so Promotion from the Championship to the Premier League was secured at first time of asking. and then promptly defied all odds and finished a dizzy 6th in my debut in the Premier League. Some crazy results in the process, some cracking deals in the summer transfer window with Ademola Lookman coming in on a free from Everton, Che Adams being signed from 2.2mill and then bagging 25 goals upfront, Sergi Canos getting 18 assists from the right wing, Angelino being a beast of a left back, George Thorne playing in the holding midfield role, and Kristoffer Ajer being a beast in the middle of the park. Meant a big cash influx by the end of the season so been and splashed the cash on Tammy Abraham (signed from Barnsley), some Romanian right winger from Liverpool for £34m (Hadji?) a couple of Italian centre backs and some cheap options from Scotland to add a bit of depth to the centre of midfield. Board announced a 22,000 all seater stadium is being built, and will replace my now 12,500 capacity Deva Stadium in 2 years time. Can't wait for the new season to start!

DazRTaylor Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Two seasons ago, I recall someone holidaying a save for a thousand years and releasing the save game file. I have a file that is just shy of eight hundred years (I could holiday until 2816, which will take me a week or so). I intended to get this to 3016, but it looks like I won't have the time.

Deicide Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 For those of you that are doing English saves, I'm currently in the middle of my second season in the Championship with Sheffield FC and I'm now able to request "Increase youth level". I know what it is for, but since our finances arent too good and I'm hoping to persuade the board to build a new stadium (current capacity is only 2,500) I'm hesitant to request it. Am I right in thinking that this won't cost us any money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the top team in the division. We've been playing OK with one up front (4-1-2-2-1 or 4-2-3-1) all season, and everyone we've played so far has run with a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-2-2 (basically just the 4-4-2 with the CMs deployed as DMs) But I see our opponents typically go with a 3-4-1-2. So I devise our own 4-2-2-2 and attempt to exploit the flanks and counter. We get a first-half goal, and another early in the 2nd. We're up 2-0 in the 75th minute when I choose to pull us back from counter to defensive. We give up 2 goals in the next 5 minutes, and then an 88th minute penalty to lose.

deltablue Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 We're not doing Best Player this year, but otherwise it's going to be much the same. 'Retro' will be a very small field though but we've had that before with the youth category for a couple of years and carried on regardless. Unless there's someone particularly memorable there's no point as last year proved. I was going to do it on Saturday 7th but that weekend might be tricky for family reasons, so it'll probably be the Saturday after that, assuming that's the time of the week people are most likely to be able to 'attend'. I've had quite a bit of difficulty deciding on a co-host, and it should be someone I'm reasonably familiar with but I think I know who it's going to be now.

The original idea was to do the same in San Marino, but I'm way too excited for the game to wait for the full release and the editor files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
