Approaching the winter transfer market and Serie A Udinese are supposedly sniffing around McGroary. Curious of your bets on the first offer. First team player in a league with rep 110-120 for two years now, had his first outings in the CL this autumn, 20 years old, 1,5 years remaining on a 90k € / year contract. I would hazard his ability is round the 105-110 CA mark. -
So as a first post: rate my RB on a scale from 0 to physical

I was surprised not to find a topic / forum like this (feel free to point me in its direction if there is one), so I thought there needs to be one.

Interesting. I would like to see one or two more tips. Evidently, the reputation of the league and the team needs to be factored in as you say. It has to be also said that I was rather surprised that Dekker was prepared to sign for me given his standing in the game at the time, he was by far my star player but is now 'only' in the top circle in terms of CA. Would be more useful as a DM with his stat line, but alas. McGroary is a Chelsea academy product with high potential and the pedigree that comes with that name, I ususally would have tipped him to be picked up by a Championship club as a youth prospect, that is what happens to these kinds of players. Less proven than Dekker, but has so much more yet to give for the footballing world / potential clubs looking into him.

...which actually makes me think of a mechanic which would be relevant to the discussion in the topic, the fact that the transfer offers need not only reflect the financial power of the player's club, but also that of the bidding club. I mean the game quite egregiously already does this with player wages where players do not only have wage demands based on their own situation but also the offering club's wage and transfer budgets. Which can be a good or a bad thing depending on the situation. (e. g. players demanding lower wages when they are still at a financially weak club, but often agreeing to wages relative to their playing time and wage budget when they are free transfers, such as Bekker in the above example). So the bully clubs of this world would need to cough up more cash for transfer offers instead of the frankly ridiculous low balls they do at the moment so that the players are forced to engage with a deeply frustrating transfer negotiation screen for the sake of 'immersion'. You feel quite robbed when a club who can and should pay more just makes offers which are insultingly low, even compared to the quite loopy transfer value range. This is the crux of the issue atm.

Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no. No (big) club should be amassing talent that has miles of ability gap to their own squad and then sit on him and do nothing with him like a dragon on his pile of treasure. I concede that not every wonderkid should develop fully to the extent of his abilities. But for big 6 in England, the big 3 in Italy, PSG, etc. to be signing 90-110 CA players showing little promise on the pitch appears quite ridiculous to me. Just look at my poor boy (btw also marvel at his fee for Man City. Even from a current-day Luxembourg club, if City wanted to sign ANY player, it would start at least at 100.000 € because the clubs know that City has money and it would be chump change for them)

The suggestion the AI does not look at PA is just plain wrong. I had a player who I was not that into, youth prospect (I think I signed him on relatively small wages on an agent offer), kinda a rotational option, I was not quite sure whether to keep hold of him or no, you see his appearances in a league with 30 matchdays, roughly on par with Slovenia-Hungary-Slovakia in 2028-2030. Then Chelsea bid completely out of the blue - quite unfathomably why, except they peeked at his PA, which then I also did, it was at roughly 180. There was literally no other reason why Chelsea would have wanted to sign him, he did not have massive rep or CA. Sold him with a two-year loan back clause, to hopefully make him develop rather than let him rot a place called Big Club reserve team where talented but unambitious players go to die. Well not a lot came from that, but that is slightly beyond the point. Do you think any big team would bid for a rotational youth prospect in such a league? (TBF it still amazes me that they do ingame) t

Let's play a fun game; marvel at my starting centre backs in a top Luxembourgish team (Rep just short of 5000, league rep just north of 120 Attempt to guess their market values. Also try to think / suggest what would be appropriate. (a league on the level of IRL Serbia-Austria-Denmark roughly)

Consider these 3 screenshots
scythian12 replied to scythian12's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Sorry, let's try again, it seems the screenshots were not uploaded correctly :-/ So I have two goalkeepers, Kamory Diabaté and fresh youth signing Mailson Veilho Diabaté is clearly the objectively much better GK Yet he is objectively also much worse on the field (in the ME at least) - and I got fed up with him in a game so much that I decided to give Velho a go and he has been much more solid despite his tender age. Now the question begs to be answered: WTF? The only thing I see Diabaté being worse in is 10 cm shorter and correspondingly smaller jumping and aerial reach. But his problems are not necessarily with not fishing the ball out of the air, but just keeping easy balls out in my experience. I would like a second opinion on this anomaly as I am rather at a loss to explain anything here, and GK is kind of a key position in this year's FM as they seem to decide solely whether you will scrape in points in those close matches.
-
Please can someone explain WTF is going on? Both of them have been used in the same competition.

Instead of releagtion release clauses (these are valid only once), the contracts could be valid for certain levels in the league system, as they are in real life. This could be helpful for both the players and the clubs as the clubs could release players with exceeding wages in case of unexpected relegations.

A kit colour clash - the groundhog day continues.
scythian12 commented on scythian12's issue in Match Art, Animation and Sound
I have uploaded RFCUL (v05) you will find the match in February. This is an FM24 game. The kits have been set in the IGE. -
So this was chosen by the game as the kit combo for the game... Blue kits clash.rar It has to be said, I am using kit textures, and have accordingly changed the FM "vanilla" kits in the IGE so that they would fit the designs. I have uploaded the kit textures, the pkm of the game, the config files and further info to the clash. I first suspected that maybe Itzig's textures could have been mixed up between the home and away kit, but this is definitely not the case. I play with Racing Union FC Luxembourg, playing in the home kit completely incl. shorts and socks as defined. For some unfathomable reason the game decided Itzig's blue home kit clashes less with this layout than their white away kit... >:-( However, it pulled a non-existent white sock for that kit and flipped the text colours... The blue of RFCUL is 0/45/145 whilst that of Itzig is 48/72/216 The only semi-logical explanation I have for this is that the "Bold top panel" design is considered to have the same colour "importance" for the foreground and background colours, hence the game logic quite incorrectly deems the home and away kit to be equally clashing with the RFCUL home kit. But then shouldn't it put RFCUL to play in their green 3rd kit?

amateur and semi-pro transfers
scythian12 replied to Ilici Man's topic in Football Manager Feature Requests (PC/Mac)
A bit of shameless self-promotion -
You already get to renegotiate the loan if you actively seek the loan extension as the parent club. I guess your request is for this to be the case also in case the taker club wants to extend the loan on their initiative

The Great Headband heist
scythian12 commented on scythian12's issue in Match Art, Animation and Sound
No, this is not about a single match - every player with a headband in the match engine has one with the RGB triplet 0/255/0. It seems SI have taken all green headbands out there to put them into FM. -
They are a neat easter egg idea, but when you play a couple of saves and you encounter one with the name you know is 'faceinthegame', and you already know they will be an outstanding regen - it's just boring / repetitive / removes a bit of interest from scouting. Would there be an option or an editor file to turn them off?
-
In a jaw-dropping heist that has left authorities scratching their heads, the storage rooms of a renowned sports equipment manufacturer were raided, but the thieves didn't go for the gold—they went for neon green headbands, and every last one of them! The daring caper, reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster, has sent shockwaves through the sports community. With the perpetrators leaving behind a neon-lit trail of clues leading to the gritty streets of East London, speculation runs rampant as to the motive behind this brazen theft. Could it be a fashion statement gone awry or a sinister plot to disrupt the sporting world? As investigators comb through the neon-lit alleyways, one thing is for certain: this neon banditry has turned the spotlight on an unexpected hue in the world of crime.

Player Value Massive Drop
scythian12 commented on OrcePisa's issue in Transfers, Scouting, Contracts and Intermediaries
I do wonder, what realistic transfer value can we expect of a 22yo 125 CA, 135 PA, 6030 CR, 5670 HR, 4300 WR player who has 3 years remaining on a 300k € pa contract at a 4612 rep club in a 108 (on the 200 scale) reputation league? What should the range be? -
Not sure whether bug report, or feature request - but could the offside lines in the ME replays have a colour so that it could be logically deduced which one belongs to which team? Maybe using their primary kit colours or something similar?
-
I would like to have the option to have to scouting priority lists, one priority, one long-term / background. This would help with getting in quick results on focus areas (players for immediately vacant position, players just under 19 for getting them club-grown) and your 'general' background scouting of players who may be interesting, but have no such urgency in signing them. I guess recruitment focuses should in theory do this, but unfortunately they are just unusable / produce nowhere near the results what manual scouting can.
-
Having the option of setting highlight level pre-game. I switch it between key for run-of-the-mill and extended for important matches. Hate it that I cannot then have the important matches on extended straight away, as the highlights give early indication about how the players and the tactic is doing in general.
-
Also once to the US, all of them mid-July instead on the 1st
-
Yup, happens to me all the time as well. Seems to be for transfers where the player's contract end is not aligned with the start of his new contract. Happened three times to Brazil, this time to Norway. No messages at all in the inbox at either the contract being offered, it being accepted, no status on the player either.
