I think you are talking about Bernardo Corradi. And I think that was FM 2006

Install FM on a new laptop, and open Football Manager on that new laptop so that all the folders needed for the game are created in My Documents. Then on old laptop go to My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2024 > games folder and from there, copy your save to usb flash drive Then go to My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2024 > editor data folder and also copy the files to flash drive Then plugin in flash drive to new laptop and paste the files into the corresponding folders. If you don't have flash drive, you can also copy those files to your phone, or you can send them to yourself via email etc

This may not be the best tactic or it may even be bad, but this is how I do it - For strikers, I always tend to put additional focus on quickness and dribbling. It does not matter if the attribute is good or not. Even if a player has 15 for dribbling, I will put dribbling as an additional focus. But I find additional focus very inconsistent, I mean, it is fine, it should not work every time. If the desired attribute is not growing for 3 months, I will remove it, and then I will try the same additional focus after 2-3 months again. For defenders, I always go with quickness, technique, and passing. I go for defensive positioning only if a central defender has marking lower than 14 For MC, DMC, I go with Quickness, long shots, passing. I found that there is a huge difference when my MC has 15 and when he has 18 for passing. ( but it might be a placebo ) For full backs/wingbacks/inverted wing backs - Quickness, dribbling, passing, long throws until they have 15 for all at least ( except long throws, which is impossible in many cases ), after that, I move to defensive positioning. Wingers - Quickness, dribbling, and passing, no matter how good those attributes are I always look to max them out In short, very rarely I try to improve attributes that are very low, I mostly go with attributes that are most important, no matter how good those attributes already are

There is probably some explanation, like club reputation etc, but in the end, the real reason is that the new player valuation system is absolutely awful. I saw in one save that Martinelly was worth ~400m. It is just bad.

Okay, thanks

Can you please tell me what is the name of the skin you are using? Thanks in advance

I would agree about FM 2015. That was the FM I played the most. I don't remember anything overpowered. If I am not wrong, for example, in 2016 crossing was overpowered What I like the most in FM 2015 is how players behave in certain roles and player traits. For example, inside forwards were really great. If you learn inside forward "get forward whenever possible" you can really see that in Match Engine. You pair him with false 9 and you can really see how that trait changes the game. And Barcelona tiki taka formation worked really well for me in that FM Also, if you like to play in 2D, FM 2015 still has that nice looking 2D ME and not this abomination we have today

It is very broken, even if the agent is influencing the valuation it is still broken, no agent in the world would come up with such a valuation. It would not be a problem if one player value was 200, 300, 400M, but there are a bunch of players. Look at this bs, Martinelli 329M !?!?! I will never understand why they got rid of the previous valuation that was similar to Transfermark. One price, based on a couple of factors, it was not perfect, but at least it is not as ridiculously bad as this system. Among bad valuations, there are many examples of "not for sale" players which clubs would very easily sell in reality. Or, if they don't want to get rid of ranges, they could make a combination of old and new system. One number for player value like Transfermarkt, and range for the money club would sell a player. Something like this. But again, old system with just one value would be the best. No "not for sale" bs, no 350-400m ranges for players in 2025 and similar

I didn't buy FM 24 and this is one of among many reasons I don't want to buy it. Valuation is just weird and makes 0 sense. My friend does have FM24 I was checking the "player search" screen and there are players valued at 400.000.000+.. Like what the heck.. Kvaratskhelia in his save is 360.000.000 even though he is still in Napoli. And we all know in reality they would probably sell him for 3X less money. I have no idea how they even approved such a bad valuation system

1.) Dynamic potential. I hate the fact that you can predict a player's career without any external tools, even when he is only 16y old. When you know that his potential is low, and it is fixed, there is no point in giving him playing time if you already know there is no chance for him to become good. The fixed potential is flawed, ancient, limited etc 2.) Old 2D Match Engine. They removed everything from 2D ME and made it look like something from the '80s. No game should go backward in any department like FM did with the 2D engine. 3.) -

Yes, I fully agree with this. If I am not wrong, they put 0 when they are not sure, but that can completely ruin a player in some saves. Not just determination, any attribute set to 0. I think when they are not sure ( if that is the reason why they put 0 ) they should do a range, for example, they set Determination for Barco to be in a range from 12 to 20 in the editor

I have no idea what is the purpose of this post. SI should create a game with months where managers can't be sacked? They should perfectly recreate reality? When you create a new save, so many things can go wrong for every manager. When you create a new save game, and when you click "continue" for the first time, every connection with the real world is gone. Everything will be different and nothing has to be 100% realistic. It is a game. And it should be different.

I am surprised he never had "Run with the ball through the center"

What I don't get about these complaints is - You know the state of gaming in general. You know that developers/publishers will release games with tons of bugs or unfinished games. You know in the case of this game, it will always be released with tons of bugs, with minimum improvements, and you still pre-order the game. Wait, wait until is fully patched, and then buy it or skip the year if you see it's not good. That will hopefully teach them to put more work into their game. Here on the forum, you create such hype before the release, "will it be released tomorrow?!" "I hope this week!" "I hope it will be until 6:15!" "I hope it will be this weekend!", 3 months before it is even released there is always a topic "guys who are you going to manage in FM 202X???" . You are counting the minutes until the game is released and then you get disappointed. When will you learn, you are the reason they are comfortable with releasing unfinished games because you can't wait and you rush to give them money.

I am not really sure what to think anymore. I didn't buy FM 2022 and FM 2023 because of the lack of improvements and now I can't buy FM 2024 because I see many people here complaining about this game-breaking issue. I am also probably not the only one, so this is really bad. I hope they will fix this because I want to buy FM 24 because it is the last of its kind; but all the key issues must be resolved. This one especially, I don't want to play babysitter simulator.

Oh, yeah, you are right, my method is not correct. I thought all your players have the same age so you wanted to add 7 years to that age. Yes, my method will not work in this case, since they will all be the same age as you said. Sorry but I am not sure what you need is possible

Well, if you can filter those players on one screen like on my screenshot, you can do it 1. Filter players and select them all by holding shift 2. When you select all players, click on this edit button 3. That will open the mass edit screen

Ah, then it seems we can't do it anymore. It is a shame since it is very ugly

Nope, the folder should not be in the graphics folder, it should be on its own ( in root My Documents > FM 2024 folder to say so, alongside skins and other folders ) Did you change the format to DDS? Because the image in my post is in PNG I will upload the DDS file, try that, clear the cache and all that. But maybe it is impossible in this year's version match_background.dds

Wow, this one is the worst one yet, they managed to outdo themselves I don't know if this works in FM 24 but you can put any image behind the pitch so it is not just one color. In My Documents, create a folder called "textures", and put any image there but in DDS format. And name it match_background.dds You can take any JPG image you like and convert it to DSS ( it is important because if you use PNG or JPG the game will stutter ). I've put this image of grass and stadium stands, it is still ugly but at least it is not the void It looks like this in the game, FM 21

Yeah, that is if you are lucky enough to have other people to make your product look better for free.

I didn't mean a change in terms of functionality. I meant in terms of how it looks. Why do you mean people who make skins are adding for example grass texture to the field or why they are adding player images next to play position icons. Because it is starting to be monotone. In terms of functionality, it is fine, but it is like seeing the same software for years now. Imagine playing 5 sequels of some other game and the menus, aesthetics, and graphics are exactly the same. Of course, it would become boring. They were changing it before so it is not just changing it for the sake of change. Sometimes after 5 years, the game must look fresh without relying on a skinning forum. 2010 2015 2018

I must congratulate SI for remarkable consistency in not changing the tactic screen for 4 years now ( maybe even more) This has to be some Guinness record for laziness FM 2021, 22, 23 FM 2024

As far as I know, that only works for Lenovo laptops, and it is an app from the Microsoft Store, I don't own one, but I guess if you have a Lenovo laptop you can find that app by searching "Vantage" in the taskbar search, and from some guy screenshot, it is here

No problem mate
