Brother Ben

I'd say you have unfinished business in Turkey

This guy did it, https://realtimefm.wordpress.com/2012/11/ crazy amount of commitment needed His save ran 01 Dec 2012 to 30 June 2015.

There was a thread about this very thing on here recently. You are very much not alone there are a lot of people who do just that I know @Platinum does

Nice size screen too, great desktop replacement. Begs the question why don't they just stick one of their OEM Windows licences in it and sell it for the £900 its worth?

That's an insanely good deal

You're a terrible person to give advice on this thread

All of those things yes, very rewarding and challenging if you have the time

I mean the stars as in the ability and potential ones as judged by your staff I'd like it to be like previous FM/CM's where there were no stars and you had to judge players solely on attributes. It makes me lazy because it tends to affect my judgement of players when it can be wrong a lot of the time, especially when you manage low down like I do with terrible staff. There was a Skin like this for FM21 but by all accounts the stars are on so many screens it is really hard to implement. I've used the kind of skin involving the attributes that you refer to in the past and enjoyed it too, but it makes you have to devote an awful lot of time to the game and I found myself writing endless notes on players. It can be quite realistic in my mind though, I used to use the attribute colour skin and have one colour for attributes 1-5 6-14 and 15-20. Gives you a nice at a glance picture of what players are really bad and good at.

I have done in previous FM's but I was already well into my save on FM22 before I found one. Personally its just the stars i'd like to turn off, I think they make me a tad lazy when it comes to assessing players

Just read your rules back and I know you've said you'll start unemployed but here's the LLM Picker for bottom league clubs sorted by stars. https://www.the9llamas.com/llmpicker/llmpicker22-blue-llama#h.qm4qn8u8qnhm Good luck with your save, keep us updated as you go along! Don't worry about being successful, heck, as you can see from my post further up it took me 7 seasons to get out of the bottom division so it's all relative when you put constraints in in an effort to be more realistic

I do all my press conferences mainly because it mentions it on your manager profile. It says something like "lets his assistant do his talking for him" which I really hate

I know this doesn't help you with your question but i'd say you are doing amazingly to be knocking on the door of the league within three seasons

I realised how lazy they made me when I booted up CM01/02 for a touch of nostalgia and found myself lost without them I hope they will remove them too along with mentality in tactics but that's a discussion for another day........

I would say the lack of absolutes is what makes FM such a great game. I personally try to always use a skin that removes all stars. They make me lazy.

Its a shot in the dark but have you tried to send the save file to someone else and see if it will open on their computer?

Its great to bring a load of players along for the ride, it definitely adds to a save Thanks! Honestly people in my office can't understand why i'm in such a good mood on a Monday morning Obviously its taken me a long time but I do use the 1 hour rule and other LLM guidelines so sometimes its to be expected.

@George_84 Good going there mate, absolutely gutting though to fall out of the automatic spots at the final hurdle! Good luck in the playoffs though, let us know how you get on Also managed to bag myself my first promotion in FM22! After 7 seasons trying and only confirming it on the final day it's fair to say I was literally punching the air with joy With 3 games left to play the table looked like this Thanks to a Newcastle in 1996 style capitulation from Halifax a draw on the final day was enough to seal the title with the final table looking like this To be fair i'd been due a bit of luck after 2 really tight playoff defeats over the years so I will take it! Here's my history with Stalybridge

I believe you, it's just not my experience. It might be worth bringing up as a bug

I have to say this doesn't happen to me. Mine will fly through a week in the off season without stopping. I was going to suggest less subscriptions. I subscribe to nothing at all and regularly trim my shortlists down to the bare minimum

I find continue game timeout is the best way to go

I think it was reduced to increase saving times and file size

In case people are wondering, here are a few other teams with no youth system Persekat - Indonesia Liga 2 Group B, Maccabi Raine - Israel Liga Leumit, P.S.N.I. - Northern Ireland Premier Intermediate League, Portstewart - Northern Ireland Premier Intermediate League, Annan - Scotland League 2, Edinburgh City - Scotland League 2, Stenhousemuir - Scotland League 2, Cristo At. - Spain Segunda División RFEF Group 1, Kórdrengir - Iceland 1. deild karla,

Probably because you pasted it from elsewhere, you need to remove the formatting.
