With some real good luck I managed to go into Grouprounds with Cork City, in second season, so I got 2,9 million euro in the bank. However, drunk stupid me yesterday asked the board to upgrade the youth facilities. Now I am sober. I think it's better to invest this into a few good players. So I can make Cork lil bit better and then have a steady club that does CL or El group regulary. Then millions come in and I can upgrade all stuff easily.
Now.. I bet I cannot ask board to undone it. Perhaps something for a patch or FM20
You want SI to create a patch to stop you doing stupid things when you are drunk?

What you want is quite easily achieved, play them as ML or MR with attacking duties, you want the benefits of playing in the attacking midfield strata without any drawbacks.
The issue with AI teams is more a case of managers having more aggressive formations set than they would actually use most often.

Yeah there have be issues about AML/AMR/AMC defending and the way they do it
they defend like strikers not like cm/ml/mr (midfielders)
like strikers they sometimes
- stand without helping
- they dont come all the way back like
- they are not aggressive enough or motivated enough sometimes to go all the way back
they should act like cm/ml/mr
- go all the way back
- be more aggressive and motivated when defending
If you want them to play like ml or mr, play them as ml or mr. If they are going to perform identically what is the point in the two strata?

And of course it should. We are talking about a simulation of human beings here, and players don't suddenly forget how often they played the previous season.

Hey,
Anyone else not being able to hold his own teamtalks anymore? The black box where my teamtalk options/choices should be is empty. (See screenshots below)
Can only let my assistant manager hold teamtalks. Can only pick individual players to give a talk to when I sub them in at halftime.
Have you checked your staff responsibilities? You may have set your ass man to take team talks.

Can't answer the main part of the question, but the version you're thinking of was FM12. Incredibly easy to just put fast players in your team and smash to glory. Also thought of by many as the best example of an ME in spite of this.
I think it's because of that flaw and how easy it made it tbh.

SI clearly sneaked in a Zentner hotfix without telling us.

Took the Newcastle job, bottom of the Premier League with £10m in the bank, negotiated £1.4m per annum, with a £200k bonus if we avoid relegation. Rangers refused to offer a new contract on £230k, with £80m+ in the bank and more Champion's League money to come this season...

In my current save, midway through season six, as Rangers manager I have won 5 Scottish Premier titles, 4 Scottish Cups and 3 Scottish League Cups. I've reached the knockout stage of the Champion's League for the third time this season (having reached the semi final the previous season). I've gone from a Sunday League rep manager up to three stars and I'm in the clubs favoured personnel list.
I'm earning £230k per annum (with another £75k in competition win bonuses). In comparison Paul Hartley at Celtic is on 900k, Celtic have two League Cups to show for the previous 5 1/2 seasons. Andy Kirk at Hearts is on £388k, they have won nothing in the past 5 1/2 seasons. Gary Locke at Aberdeen is on £250k, they have won nothing in 5 1/2 seasons.
My salary has gone up over the past 5 1/2 seasons from about £120k at the start, and my current deal has 3 1/2 years to run. In an effort to get my wages up to something a bit more realistic I applied for the vacant Newcastle job, and attended an interview. A few days later the board approached me to ask me to stay, so I ask for a new contract. They refuse, I tell them I won't stay without a new contract and they refuse again.
Now, I'm guessing this is a product of starting with Sunday League rep, and the board don't want to sanction trebling somebodies wages (I wouldn't even expect parity with Hartley, £750k would be good enough for me), but it still comes across as silly. Especially in the likely scenario I leave for Newcastle and my replacement gets more money than I would have settled for.

I would be interested in other users (or SI's) opinions on a situation I have in my current save, and whether it could be considered a bug.
As Rangers, I bought Marco Asensio at the start of season three for £12m (I know, he was transfer listed and I thought "why not?" not expecting to get him as a lot of other clubs were listed under Major Interest, nobody else bid and he came!), now pre-season of season four and he wants to leave as Roma are interested. So I promise to sell him if the right bid is made, Roma come in and we agree a fee of £15m up front, £2.5m after 50 appearances and £1m if they win the CL. It takes him a week to agree terms, and in the meantime they have bought someone else, so I get the message they can't currently afford the transfer fee and want to delay a week. My experience of this has always been it's a never ending cycle of delay a week until transfer window then transfer cancelled, so I refuse. Asensio is furious, I've failed the promise to sell him.
So, is this a bug? I agreed a fee, buying team couldn't follow through, surely I'm under no obligation to wait. At least I should have the option of telling him Roma couldn't meet their obligations, or that it's his own fault for fannying about to sign for this team he really wants to join.

I'm pretty sure the attribute that is used for next opposition reports is Tactical Knowledge (certainly in my experience when you have more than one scout, the game will always select the one with the highest Tactical Knowledge for reports on the next opposition). His is very low and perhaps affects the range (and/or accuracy) of reports he can produce?

Hi, I have a problem with the selection of the team, all the teams are in gray, or write can not add the player "As Monaco" is not the correct choice.
Pls help me i want play;(
Did you select the option to make clubs that have managers unavailable to use when starting the game?

My team has gone to a penalty shootout but I cannot see the button to continue? Isn't there a continue or match button at the top normally?
Have you tried to continue with the space bar?

These 'he certainly didn't mean that' shots are getting on my nerves. 2-3 of them every game. It's maybe a level thing, I'm in the Vanarama North
I'm getting similar numbers in international football with England. I don't think it's a level thing.

I've noticed that setting up the exact same game world can lead to different star ratings at different times. I'm guessing it's related to whatever else you have running at the same time as FM.

Speaking of the England job, the Social Media tab has made managing in international football even worse this time around. For something that is supposed to immerse us in the footballing world, it has made me feel even less a part of it as England Manager. The only messages on it are squad announcements and results, with no real positive or negative feedback. Removing our ability to manage our inbox has made this even worse, as I used to be able to get messages about the other home nations, but now all I get are the same generic announcement/result posts on social media. The inbox opinions you do see are from "a former England player", not exactly drawing me in with that. The lack of press conferences just highlights the lack of immersion in what is supposed to be one of the most high profile jobs in football.
Liking the match engine and animations so far though. Watched a number of AI v AI games and it's better than 16 from what I've seen.

I've been playing this game for years. FM17 is the first time I've seen injuries like this.
I am managing Stoke City. We are still in the run up to the start of the season. I have 9 players out injured right now. Half of them are AT LEAST 4 months out. TWO are 9-10 months. This seems way worse than the past games. Tell me I'm wrong. (Straight man set up)
You're wrong. Stoke start the game with four players out injured, so in your pre-season you've had five injuries. Pretty severe and unlucky, but not unrealistic. Unless you aren't counting the four players injured at the start, in which case I would say nine injuries in pre-season is creeping towards the unrealistic realms (but I'm sure it's happened somehere).

Non-realistic or bad luck?!
Player is C. Ronaldo
Certainly realistic and bad luck. The potential to have the same injury recurring for certain injury types was added a few versions back from what I remember.
Even someone as fit as Ronaldo can have a bad injury.

I'm seeing a lot of those mis-hit crosses that give the keeper trouble too, not just the high ones but quite a few that nearly sneak in at the near post and end up tipped around the post.

I see it like sending a scout off to report on the next opposition - whether their JPA/JPP is 20/20 or 1/1, you get the same report.
I was under the impression Tactical Knowledge affected these reports. Certainly if you allow your Chief Scout to control who scouts next opposition he always picks the scout with the highest Tactical Knowledge.

I'm loving it so far. I do have one negative comment though. The social media feed doesn't comment at all on International football (at least in the first game I started) I just beat Scotland 5-1 as England, and the social media feed is full of comments about Tranmere Rovers and Dundee but has never featured any tweet on the international side of things. Surely that's going to be glaring during a world cup or European championship?
Have you set your feed to follow national sides?

I've noticed my keepers will regularly ignore their instructions and kick the ball long, despite one of the full backs (who he is instructed to play it out to) being in a completely open position. I just assume this is down to feeling slightly more under pressure in an away match.

I hate these threads, always see players you thought were your little secret, only to find half the CM/FM playing world knew about them.

Oh, thought of a few more. In one version I'd always raid peterborough for some of their youngsters who ended up being some of the best in the world. I think one was called Gareth Jellyman? Others were Simon Davies and Matthew Etherington. There were probably a couple more. I think a couple of them made it into a decent club in real life but never were really world-beaters.
They had a great keeper for the level too, Mark Tyler I think.

These players aren't playing for a rookie coach in real life, they are playing for Jose Mourinho.
He's won the PL three times.
