How is it calculated? I pay nothing per week to any players only staff receive a salary yet my wage bill is £564 in the board screen that gives me a £98 Pw allowance, £6,130 ( £0 pre Youth Intake) per annum in the league wage salary list, £0 in the average wage on facts list. Considering I only pay bonuses If players play, are subs, score or keep clean sheets so for 21 days I have paid nothing due to there not being any games played. How can it be calculated into your ''managing finances'' rating?

I hope the developers will finally understand what indirect free kicks are, the league stats screen gives high numbers of Indirect free kicks often more than Direct free kicks. I hardly see an indirect free kick given IRL let alone scored. Does it really mean Direct from the free kick & with a pass or deflection from a free kick.
Choices of teams you want to apply for while holidaying being country specific not just lower/higher leagues or low/high reputation, or National etc. The USA 's lowest league is its highest and covers the same tick box as The Welsh Premier League, I want to be able to apply for available jobs in the UK region at levels:- Conf N/S, WPL, Irish Prem-Champ, Scotts L1, L2.
Sort out International jobs and give them contracts so its the same as club managers.
Assistant Managers and reserve teams (outside of the leagues that allow them into the main league system) let you learn the ropes under the senior staffs rules, you may have play to his tactics not your own, the first teams the priority, your jobs to supply him with players and get them fit.
Stop AI clubs emptying there reserves once first seasons over. They can start with massive RL squads built by numerous managers in a short space of time.
More ruthless chairmen, a three game losing streak can see managers sacked in some countries no matter what they've won before, or for not picking a player he's told you to.

I regularly spend loads on booze, birds and gambling the rest I just waste, Can't do any of that on FM.

As they've sacked you perhaps you could become a hod carrier.

What business of yours is it? Managing the team is, building stadiums is not. Tell them you've got a degree in town planning, construction and are whizz when it comes to the legal process involved.
Anyway Anfields been recently expanded and doesn't look to be getting bigger before 2022 IRL/ But I'm waiting for the announcement ''Klopp Sacked for disagreeing on stadium planning decisions with the board'' Specifically the amount of toilets and Hot dog stalls the clubs got.

Anyone see mates, relatives or even yourself in the game? Do you buy them, sell them or leave them alone. I know a lad whose early 20's but 30 in the game has he bullshitted the researcher or look a lot older than he should? Either way it's a handy tool for taking the pi$$.

Will International team management be better replicated with realistic appointments, immigration rules applying to staff and yourself? How about anthems when they line up. Salaried contracts for managers, training for squads, preparation tasks for long haul away matches, results impacting on the whole nations morale, proper rivalries

Do players still buy on release? I find the game isn't complete until the winter transfer window and the final update so wait for the sale in the summer.

Anyone got the number for the stadium decorators? I've seen many shared stadiums paint there seats within 24 hours and then paint them back again.

I was wondering what Jose was up to now, you'd think with his money there would be better things to do than spending your days playing computer games.

If you want realism get out in the fresh air and become a coach, run a kids team or volunteer at low league club, If you're as amazing as you think you'll be snapped up earning £10,000 a week you will have no time to play at pretending to be a manager and reading the internet.

It's a balance isn't it? You cannot have it as realistic as RL as it would be unplayable, you'd hardly ever get a job or progress as easily from top to bottom. If you failed spectacularly in the first job that would be it game over.
The game isn't easy enough to be able to succeed with one tactic no matter what players you pick like it was before, I've gone many editions without ever winning a cup or league. The career stories on here are pretty alien to me since early Playstation versions when I was a kid and used cheats or go back to a save point to win.
Every edition since 2012 my career and results follow a far more authentic story if I just play to how I think a tactic should be and how I'd build a squad, not succeeding is part of the game for me.

Was planning on buying the game and a new laptop today. Having read this forum,i will probably wait until the new year
Is the game ever worth buying in the first month of release? You cannot really get a save going until Feb/March and the final edition, as you need to restart to include all the fixes that have been included.
I find buying it early means you stop, start new saves continually just without committing to a longterm save.
I'm currently on a longterm save in FM 17 9The longest FM save I've done) unless FM 18 is significantly different will not buy FM 18, my next purchase of FM will be FM 19 in March 2019. Or how I feel the finished version or FM 19.5.

Crikey the topic was last posted in 7 years ago. And you brought it up to say that?
Anyway if I drain a player to 0% will he drop dead?

I tried to help beginning from the basic steps of defining the problem but it has no use. You are right, this has nothing to do with "in real life" thing. Board approved the new stadium and you must at least have a feedback even it is no success.
I think the best thing you can do is opening your own thread in the bugs forum. You are an experienced user, you may upload your save and get one-on-one help there.
I never said that look at the thread? You've quoted someone else there but my names on it

Is the stadium really that much of an issue? To me it's a part of the game that I don't bother with after all what has Stadium construction got to do with a Manager? My job in FM is the playing side. I leave all the boardroom stuff to those whose job it is. I may occasionally request training facility improvements but that's about me getting a better squad. Perhaps one or two managers IRL probably had any influence on a New Stadium and been there long enough to see it through. SAF and Arsene Wenger.

Playing FM 2017 as my local team Tranmere Rovers. I have taken them to championship 2 seasons ago and i think i will be off to the prem this year.... fingers crosses.
In my first year the board sent me a message, without prompt from myself, about them considering a new stadium due to the high maintenance costs of my current stadium (rebuilt in 1987 according to the game). Since then i haven't heard a dickie!
The board have not mentioned anything else and there is no option to address this at board level, stadium option is simply not there.
Has anyone had this experience before? Does anyone know will it work out? Is there any way i can check, maybe using an editor to see what is going on or if the board are moving forward?
Thanks in advance
Yes with Tranmere and I hadn't even left the Conference. I believe they would have built a smaller one more in keeping with average attendances
Could your increased attendance mean they can now cover the maintenance cost? And the stadiums no longer to big.
Ps
I didn't see this save through long enough to see what happened

I've had Neil Brock as a regen. He was crap and had a blank face.

Do title odds now change through the season and has expectation become relevant to the position your prospective club is in at the time of interview?

Well I have this newgen with pretty high potential, but what interested me more is his hair. It could not even fit into the profile pic. Fellaini 2.0?
I would rather not imagine how much of a hair does he have outside the picture.
His heading ability should be better. Or would it be possible to lose the ball in his hair and walk it into the net?

I've moved on from developing newgens, to developing a new master race of large brained footballers with enormous foreheads. The results are astounding.
You realise Regens are modelled on SI staff!

Yes I suspect this to as many regens look like computer programmers and definitely not like professional sportsmen.

I was looking through available jobs and found this.
Poor poor Bolton.
£1 lol
And how much is a ticket? You can buy the club rather than fork out for the ''booking fee''.

I have no idea how that happened, but it was, as I said, a really bizarre save. I also remember that Brentford were Premiership runners-up in one season and relegated the next. You don't get that much volatility in the newer FMs, do you?
I've got something else to share from that save. The World Cup winners in 2010 were...
And in my main FM13 save, the 2014 World Cup was won by...
In other words, I have seen Ukraine win two different World Cup tournaments (in two different versions of CM/FM) that they didn't even qualify for in real life.
Shame winners do not automatically qualify for the next WC anymore.

Never buy until long after winter transfer windows closed. I cannot enjoy a long term save knowing updates and fixes will only be installed in a new save, also squads are six months newer, managers will reflect the time then. As usual I'll wait for the sale and buy a cheaper priced completed version rather than one thats not finished yet.
