Managing Lyon, it's april 2024 and we are second with a 13 points pillow to third place. Now, all of a sudden, reporters start talking about us avoiding relegation this season *yay* .. Sure, mathematically, it's sound but it's still a piece of information which comes across as odd or robotic.. to say the least.. We note that FM doesn't seem to know when it's appropriate to talk about relegation and when it's not.. Surely, how likely a europa league or even UCL spot is by the end of a season seems more relevant and apt with only 9 match days left before the end of a season as second with a 13 points buffer to the third..

yea, save, save a lot.. The one thing which constantly comes across vacuous, really. Interactions with players either have a positive outcome or there's something contrived about them when they end up negative..

oh yes, the... VIEWSss.. The bane of every manager's existence.. What you can try is to click on a different screen, those ones where you notice that the game needs an extra second to load and go back. Sometimes the stubborn columns give in, sometimes they don't. Another thing is to export the current work-in-progress view, delete it under manage views and import it again to allow you to finally adjust the darn thing.. Thirdly, just advance a few days, play a match and try again.. Adjusting stubborn columns often all of a sudden magically works after that.. It's obvious that something under the HUD there wasn't made for in-depth user customization, it desperately needs an overhaul.. I make my own custom views for every screen possible, and yes, it's the most infuriating exercise in FM, besides having to constantly adjust set-pieces manually, perhaps..

oh boy..

but..but.. what about croatia or morocco conceding first but getting a later equalizer?? Surely, that's good enough for the critics to root for them??

I usually experience this at the beginning of a save, like, one match they act like pep's barca, the next they suddenly act like a league one side.. I tell myself that it has to do with my players not having fully adapted to my tactics just yet. Usually, however, at about 10-15 matches played, what happens on the pitch starts to become more predictable..

I see you have an 8700K. I have a 6700K and will perhaps overclock my CPU should the game process through the days too slowly, I didn't really start my save yet, so can't tell yet if it's helpful or not..

I hear many games don't run too well with windows 11 atm. Someone wrote that rolling back to win 10 fixed his technical issues with the game.

Silly comment, if anything, it motivates more people to watch random cup matches.. Andy is prolly just salty over the england elimination.. Move on, just imagine Mbappe's tears after the Morocco match

assman prolly says that because Osi is very fast?

At Barca, one club players like Jordi Alba or Pique tell me after a few months in they wanna leave for a new club since they've achieved everything alrdy at Barca. I found that quite amusing considering RL, so I checked the pre-game editor for their personality numbers. The vanilla ones have very high Ambition numbers which I suspect is the reason why they wanna leave in-game. I hope the issue is fixed now in my new save..

I think a manager's "motivating" attribute also has an influence on if players accept what you tell them or not.. There's also player personality and hidden values like controversy which turn players into d-heads.. Weekly training between 7.75-8 is usually the minimum, never praise the same player three times in a row..

I voted for France, but I really don't think they deserve it after the england match.. A true champion of france's quality would have sent the english 3:0 packing.. Obviously, I would like to see Messi lifting the cup, but Argentina simply seems too fragile as a package deal to me to seriously consider it, especially against a with determination oozing Croatia which will always come back from a goal down. If the french are complacent against Morocco, the whole of the arab world might go crazy next wednesday night...

I've watched all french games, and I am a bit mad with Mbappe, actually. I think the fact that the world expects him to be the focal point of the french team gets to him, he also lost possession and wasted chances too often. Neymar did score an important goal after a fantastic one, two but lost possession a whole lot in every single game he has been involved in.. So, to me, Mbappe and Neymar have been the two most disappointing players of the tourney thus far.. Messi, on the other hand, has been, in comparison, more noteworthy with his creative play from deeper areas. However, Livakovic and Bono were excellent in goal. Griezmann's & Gvardiol's work rate did impress me, too. Bukayo Saka showed some great dribbles in dangerous areas. Then there was the mexican free-kick goal from Luis Chávez & Richarlison's scissor kick. The Brazilians created the best looking chances.
