  1. Cheers for the help people.

    Ive had 2 talks of takeovers and both have been supporters groups (both have failed) so support from there isn’t coming either way.

    Cup runs definitely seem the way to go but I think I’m probably looking at having at least 2 seasons before getting to the Vanarama N/S, 1 to consolidate in this league and 1 to get promotion (if I’m lucky)

  2. Hey guys, girls and all identities in between, I have a question regarding takeovers in lower league clubs.

    So I recently started a save with a custom database that goes down to the 10th tier of the English leagues so that I could play as Hereford Lads Club (wanted a different save from my usual Man United starting save and decided to play as a team I played for when in the youth teams(11-12))

    Anyways after 2 great seasons I’ve got back to back promotions and now currently sit in the league below the National Leagues N/S but the club is running at £200k in debt with the debt only going to get bigger.

    Now I’ve had a brief message about a possible takeover but nothing happened and I was just wondering (from people who have more experience of lower league management) is there a higher chance of takeovers when playing at lower leagues and getting quick promotions due to the club progressing faster than they make money to keep themselves afloat?

    Relieved it's the same match engine version. Previous releases have been carnage when they've meddled with it between beta and full release. This year, the mantra, 'if it aint broke, don't fix it' seems to have been played. A victory for common sense. 

    Although I await the inevitable glut of posts from people whose tactics no longer work. That's always a good laugh. 

    I know what you mean, I’ve purposely stopped making tweaks to my tactic as I’m so used to there being changes from beta to full release. Now I know there isn’t any I can fine tune my tactic to perfection (well as close to perfection that I’ll ever get)

  4. Well after a difficult 1st half of the 1st season i eventually settled on a tactic and ended finishing 6th.

    4-2-3-1.png.9e4b10b3929dec7be803e16b3489c4aa.png

    Made lots of changes to the squad as going forward the squad will be built around Hojlund, Rashford, Garnacho and Fernandes.

    Outgoing:

    Maguire - £15m = Tottenham, Lindelof - £15.75m Real Madrid, Varane - £60m - Al-Hilal, Eriksen - £22m - Newcastle, Malacia - £8.5m (rising to £10.25m) - Ajax, Casemiro - £85m - Al-Ahli. Still got a few more i want to move on specifically Sancho and Wan Bissaka.

    Incoming:

    Scalvini - £75m (£90m total), Shaqueel Van Persie - £14.5m, Joáo Neves - £60m (£65m total), Antonio Silva - £80m, Jesus Vazquez - £19m, Dionande - £44m (£49m total), Fresneda - £23m, Jorrel Hato - £24m (£26.5m total).

    Almost all of those brought in are improvements or long term replacements for what we have or what we've sold, Vazquez being the exception as the squad got pissy after i sold Malacia about squad depth at LB and Hato wouldn't join at that time. He will probably be sold soon. Also looking to bring in a young GK as backup to Onana and will more than likely sell Altay as hes not really done that well when called upon.

    Squad:

    We've called up some of the youth players to the first team to bulk the squad out for the coming 2nd season.

    SKa - Onana, Bayindir, Seimen (incoming from Stuttgart)

    WBs - Dalot, Fresneda

    BPDd - Diomande, Scalvini

    BPDd - Martinez, Silva

    WBa - Shaw, Hato

    APs - Mount, Mainoo, Gore

    BWMd - Nevez (need to get a backup)

    Wa - Antony, Diallo, Pellistri

    AMa - Bruno, Hannibal, Hansen-Aaroen

    IFs - Rashford, Garnacho

    Pa - Hojlund, Van Persie

    Also playing with disable first window as always, so waiting until January to get rid off:

    Maguire
    Van de Beek
    Sancho
    Martial

    That would free up a lot of cash with their salaries.


    Def need a new CB (preferably someone who can play IFB) and a striker.
    Todibo and Taremi/Toney feels best suited. Would also love a Ji-Sung Park type player at RW - any recommendations??

    Before 24/25 I would also like to get rid of:

    AWB
    Lindelof
    McTominay or Amrabat
    Eriksen

    From that I would get an upgrade on RB and another CB plus a young ball winning DM.
     

    I managed to sell off Lindelof and Maguire on deadline day for £15m and £20m respectively and brought in Scalvini for £30m up front and add ons for a total of £75m but he’s on £89k a week so overall it’s a better long term investment

    Yeah the name fix is there, I’ve done it on mine.

    Cheers, I had a look this morning when I finished work (bloody night shifts on beta week!) and managed to get it and so started a new game with them.

    So it seems that most of our Youth players have random potential values as Shea Lacey is now a 3 1/2 star potential player where as Mainoo has gone from a 2 star potential player in my original loaded save to either 4 1/2 - 5 star potential on the save made with the name fixes

    I don't understand how people get enjoyment from playing plug and play tactics from forums etc I have refused to play Gegenpress for last 4 years out of principle as it's been so over powered it feels like cheating to me. I suspect this new Inverted and Libero will be the same. I like the positional changes and I guess that comes with the new roles involvement. 

    To be honest I’ve been using plug and plays for the last 2/3 fms mostly due to the fact that my laptop keeps micro freezing so trying to watch a tactic to see how it plays has been nearly impossible as every 15-20 seconds it freezes and then skips forward by like 10 seconds.

    For FM24 I went and brought a new gaming laptop so from now on it’s full on creating tactics only for me

    make funny faces on youtube.

    At this point you realise you’re starting to sound like a 6 year old that’s upset that the neighbours kids got ice cream whilst you have to wait until you’ve eaten your dinner……your gonna get access to the beta you just have to wait.

    No one at SI is gonna turn around and decide that they have to release the beta because your complaining on the forums

    I'm not complaining but I don't think what SI are doing is really selling many extra copies. If it was they'd be paying them to play it, not just giving them a beta and letting them talk about 3 or 4 points they've already spoken about in blogs and their own media.

     

    So your advice would be to not give alpha access to big members of the FM community because in your opinion is does sell many extra copies and do what exactly? Just release the beta slightly earlier? I mean if that’s the point your getting at that’s worse for them as a business 

  10. The amount of people complaining about YouTubers and streamers getting early access, do you know how the games industry works?

    Also those complaining about not having the beta yet, you realise that SI aren’t contracted nor do they have any requirement to give us a beta? They chose to do it so that a. We get earlier access to the game instead of waiting for the full release and b. Enables them to get more info on bugs that can be resolved quicker rather than doing just a full release and then us waiting months for bugs to be resolved or addressed I.e. Cyberpunk.

    Be grateful for the beta (whenever SI decide to release it) and stop your complaining
