RinusFM

Steam says: 4473. Since I have played FM2005, 2006, 2007 and FM2008 before it had a 'timer' I think roughly 700 or 8000 hours. Most played according to Steam: FM2008 with 1456 hours, but I think it is more like 2500. Least played: FM2009... 9.6 hours. Average 446 hours or so

250ish.. In FM 2018 or FM 2019. After a year or 15 I made Cork City FC soo big I got 80m for Irish defender from my own youth. I was baffled. Thought it wasn't possible for us.

After Winter Update Si games always leave big or gamebreaking bugs in the current version, but patch them in the next version that releases in November/December. Why not patching the current version as well. It annoys me a lot.

I believe SI Games going to remove the 'founders' of the Super League and anyone who joins them. Then SI games and us the player just continue with the clubs, players and staff who have football in their heart. Hopefully we can have a proper Football Sim by then with passion, the art and much more. Less billions and millions flowing. Just pure football.

So after a few months I did quit FM again. Is FM easy? depends. You can go from zero to hero with any team outside England. It's only a bit difficult cause you can't built your club like English teams can. as example, in Ireland once I grew with million and millions.. I couldn't get a reserve and a 21 team. These could come in handy a lot. Storing young talents in reserve team, etc doing matches versus Irish other reserves, etc etc. Also Irish, Swedish, Norwegian teams do have it difficult cause there's no gameplay option to tell the organisator of said competition to switch to win

@Francis MooneyGoodday Mooney, Did you found out what caused the issue? Yours, Rinus

@Francis Mooney There you go. Name: For Francis Mooney - Cork City. Wondering what causes it. Edit: 3 days before the new week and I can change it in the training-section. I think if you do not touch the calendar they will holiday and then bug out cause you can't go on another holiday.

Fm2005 - 2008 were a total different era. With FM2008 being the best of it, before FM2009 was introduced with 3D, etc. Its also some form of nostalgia. Kuyt, Vlaar, Robben, Bergkamp, Stam, Kluivert, etc etc etc all were still playing. Not to mention players, like Mika Aaritalo, Freddy Adu, Eddie Johson, etc.

@Francis MooneyI am do not have a savegame of that anymore, but I will report back when I am at the end of the current season. See if it happens again. by the way 2 or 3 seasons ago the season ended with the competition, so we went on holidays. 1 month later I suddenly had to participate in the Champions Cup vs a team from N-Ireland. Then I had whole 1.5 month doing nothing cause it bugged out and we couldn't go on holidays. This was when the team didn't reach CL grouprounds, tho.

In FM2019 or so. I got a Irish player in my youth. Sold him for 80 million. Upgraded everything, took a ambitious HoYD. HoYD's personality is the most important, tho. Ambitious, Model citizen, perfectionist, etc.

Teammeeting. Take two or three players out for others Take 1 or 2 TI's out and put another or back to KISS. Save game and play next day or two, cause it seems to reset the losing-streak and I am winning again.

That the organisation of a league with a summer-calendar ask you and other clubs, when they meet a certain reputation or so, to vote for a transition to the winter-calendar, so the league is synchrone with the Europa League / Champions League.

Guys. Is there a way to tell the game that I want a -23/reserve squad for Cork City? Perhaps bugging it or so. I know Shamrock Rovers has a Senior, -23 and a -19 squad. It makes me wonder why I can't form one with Cork City. or other clubs. It's really important to grow, so I can buy players place them into the -19 and the reserve squad for development + backup, etc etc. Ohh who can help me out.

If bought on Steam they will first automatically refuse your request because you're over the 2 hour-limit, but you can request it again. Just tell them nicely and in a normal matter whats wrong, etc and they will likely refund the game. Don't know how it works with other store, like Epic Games. Website that sell keys are likely just to deny your request, etc. Specially the grey-market ones.

Wont do a new save. Too much time and energy invested. 160+ hours Ohh good. I was already looking to buy some, but they dont wanna come, yet. Lacking reputation Hope not. Dont want rich teams even more OP
