[Bundesliga reserve teams not playing games?]

Hello

Ok. Guess it isn’t a bug then

[Bundesliga reserve teams not playing games?]

Helllo

I have Bundesliga and 2 Bundesliga as playeble leagues and it seems like the second teams playing in the 3 liga doesn’t play any games with is a shame as it affects player development. Is this a known issue?

 

[Sunderland got 6 goalies and five of them on loan]

Im afraid I cant find a save before the transfers did go through. But I've uploaded a file where you can have a look at it called Joninho1

[Professional and bending the rules]

Ah. Ok! You would make my day if you changed the sentence "has tendency to bend the rules" to something like "a player prone to shithousery". That would be brilliant, right?

[US U21 team selections]

Hello 

 

Found this the other day. They seem to only have players older then 21?

I’ve uploaded a save file called Joninho1 where you will find the issue.

Two of the goalkeepers are on loan from the same club (Leicester)

[Professional and bending the rules]

Thanks for a great game!

You’re probably aware of this but Is it possible for a player to be professional and still be bending the rules? A guess this player has high professionalisms but pretty low sportsmanship? Right? For me bending rules sounds more like arriving late for training and so on and not diving or kicking people during the game.

[Semi-Official FMM Wish List]

I've enjoyed playing FMM during my summer holiday. It's a lot of fun and highly addictive just like FM should be. There is an ongoing debate whether FMM is to easy or not. In my opinion there will always be someone who creates the perfect training regime och the unbeatable tactic. However I've noticed some flaws/issues that, if they were fixed, not only would make the game better but a bit mor challenging regardless of training regimes or tactics. Here are my suggestions on how to fix them. 

1. Decrease amount of newgens and add fixed age on all newgens

With the current system there is a widespread issue with newgen inflation in the game. The youth promotion thing you've added is great. How about expand that system to all clubs in the game? If that isn't possible you have to code that all newgens in the game are 16-17 years of age. At the moment you got 20-25 year old newgens showing up in various clubs (with high CA and high PA) and they outrival the Donnarummas, Sanches and Diawaras of the game. If these newgens would be 16-17 when they are promoted the Donnarummas, Sanches and Diawaras would have som time to shine before the new generation (the newgens) would become good enough to compete with them. FM should't be a fantasy football game with fictional player names that are way to easy to lure to a League Two team.

Another way to solve the issue with newgen inflation is to overhaul the current system of picking players from the large FM databas to the smaller FMM database. The current system seems to be based on CA, PA, the different varieties of reputation, nationality, added leagues/nations and player history? The consequences of this system is a FMM database with many older players (some with high PA) that retire during the first couple of season, ends up as newgens and enhances the issue described above. The aim should instead be a system that sort out players based on age and PA that creates a database that slightly emphasis young and talented players. Most of us would rather like to se all these guys in the database (regardless of the league/nation your playing) instead of a random 34 year old Brazilian. These changes would make the game a bit more realistic and fun to play.

Furthermore it would be great if you could make a significant increase in the likelihood for all clubs, but especially top clubs with top and superb youth facilities, to compete to sign promising newgens. For an example a African newgen with a high PA should sooner rather then later be signed by a club high up in the picking order (e.g. Ajax as 16-18 year old) and not stay in his African club until he is 25 when I sign him to my newly promoted conference club.

At the moment clubs tend to promote newgens from the same country as the club and if it would be possible to change that it would be great. A African newgen from a french speaking country should be able to be promoted to a french club and a Caribbean newgen to a club i England or the US (and less so to Real Madrid). 

If these issues were to be solved and it would't be as easy to create a great team based in newgens players the game would be more challenging fore sure.

2. Create more ungrateful and spoiled players

Most players in FMM tend to be gentle and good-natured and I doubt that is the case IRL. Your best players should want to move to bigger clubs and your reserves should want to play more. In FMM17 you find a lot of players staying in a top club (e.g. Chelsea) despite only playing a handful of games the last couple of seasons. They won't accept a transfer to another premiership team because the won't move to a smaller club. A player (or player representative) should definitely react to a decline in playing time. If only played 0-15 times a season they should want to leave or go on loan. If this could be fixed we would have a more dynamic och realistic transfer market. Of course you'll always find a Winston Bogarde or two but they are rare. 

Furthermore players (or player representative) should force player transfers. If not allowed to change clubs you should increase the likelihood of the player to skip training, talk to the press, request a transfer and so on. 

3. Significant increase the likelihood of clubs higher up in the picking order signing your best players.

If you got players (especially younger players) in your team with an average rating of 7.30+ they should chased and purchased by bigger clubs (regardless of PA). I don't know how the transfer system is worked out in FMM but it seems like the player CA is the most important aspect? I would love to se the average rating having a much more central part to play. If you got a League 2 striker scoring goals for fun he would most definitely attract a lot of interest from other clubs. 

That in turn could  increase the amount of transfer gossip from the media that you as a manager would have to handle. In FMM17 i might get question about transfers from media once or twice in a season and that should happen a lot more often. Maybe a couple of times in a month and every singel day the week leading up to transfer deadline day? 

 

Thanks for a great game
