  1. Because it doesn't swap the teams. I move teams between divisions but when I load up the game, they aren't swapped at all. What's the point of this button if it doesn't actually do what it advertises? The editor even reflects the change but the whole things ends up being a waste of time and a scam.

    I know I'm a beginner at this, but so many things in the editor is flat-out broken. Unless, of course, there's some obscure hidden thing that this "swap" button does. What does it do? Is it just there to trick people?

  2. He's useless. Every recommendation he gives me is utterly bollocks. He will ask me to juggle my analysts from role to role, giving them new contracts every other year to switch sides. He will ask me to sign ****** physios or terrible coaches. It's not like he has terrible stats, I've used to editor to transfer the best one to me (all 20's) and he's still coming up with nonsense.

    SI needs to either sort this staff role out or bin it completely. He's definitely working for my rivals, trying to sabotage my operation.

    Unfortunately.

    I'm trying to do something simpler now — replacing teams in the top 5 English divisions with teams from elsewhere. But I'm encountering a problem with the youth teams, specifically U23 Division 3, when trying to verify changes. It's saying there are too many teams. I think what's happening is the new teams and old teams are somehow in there, but it doesn't make sense. In the database there's 20 — which is how much it wants — but in the "registered teams" there's 18 from the old one (bringing the number to 38, which is how much it's saying there is currently). How do I fix this? I've tried clearing the registered teams but no dice. This is annoying. I don't know how you guys put up with this.

    EDIT: Well I never figured it out but I just deleted the entire division and that solved it... I guess the lesson learnt is that there can be no problem if you just delete the entire problem-causing league? Would be nice to know what was the actual issue though...

  4. Does anyone know an efficient way as to how I can approach this? I'm thinking I can copy over everything from the English leagues and cups but it's taking a while to do even just one nation. I've got to do the cups as well and the TV money is a nightmare, I'm going to have to shoot myself if I have to modify the figures one by one for each stage of the competition. Also, I'm trying to edit the placement prize money (1st 2nd 3rd) but it's missing, do I have to add the rules manually?

    Sorry this is a lot of questions, but, basically, I'm hoping someone can point to a general workflow where I can accomplish this with the minimal amount of pain. This is my first time trying to do something like this ):

    Thanks in advance!

    Here is what SI have told us about the intakes:

    This is taken from the Youth challenge thread.

    All of this makes complete sense, and that was what I've figured they mean from hours of playing the game.

    So you can understand why it's frustrating and baffling when I don't get any good regens despite spending a lot of time optimising my club for youth intake, even going as far as start a save with maximum everything, and still not getting any good regens.

    Must admit, i can't remember getting any wonderkids in playing 30+ seasons over the last 2 versions of FM. Just bad luck?

    Past a certain point, it's no longer bad luck but just bad design. If you're the world's leading team with the best staff and great connections in the footballing world, and have been going for a few years, its not realistic to have consistently poor youth intakes.

  7. I've played this franchise for a while now and I've NEVER had any good intakes in what must have been at least 50 seasons. The one time I had consistently good youths was when I was playing Palermo, and I started getting them right from the start even before I had upgraded anything (so I began suspecting that the system was rigged or flawed).

    Recently I decided to start a cheaty save with Maidstone where I immediately gave myself the best facilities, best staff, as well as a collection of feeder affiliates to see if I can get some godly regens. The results were staggering.

    In my first season, I got the only good regens — a goalie and a winger, who stayed and gave results even in the Premier League. They were both English!

    The six intakes afterwards were completely garbage, and all the affiliates did was give them interesting nationalities. I can only conclude that facilities and staff did not matter, affiliates were useless, and best of all, reputation doesn't matter either! I started at one star rep (that's when I got the two good regens), and ended with 3, all along the way the boost in rep did nothing.

    So I wonder if anyone has actually found out if everything is really cosmetics and RNG and a bit of pre-destiny, or if it's really proven that what the game provides actually helps in any way shape or form.

  8. It's ridiculous, I'm trying to offer new contracts and I'm not allowed to modify the demands. The only change I made was knock the wage down by a click (-25k/w) but I left everything else as is, but the agent is not having it. I try to modify other clauses also by one click but the agent just gets more and more angry. I literally cannot modify anything. I'm not paying 400k for a single player, I already had to sell a guy asking for 600k! (And of course because transfer in this game is stupid af, I still have to pay half his wages for the next 5 years).

    What team are you managing?  Ambitious players will always be attracted to teams that have a higher reputation than your team or are playing in a higher reputation league.  Players also may want to challenge themselves playing against better players but keeping them happy is part of the job

    I'm playing Palermo, long term save 8 years in. Multiple Serie A, Champion's League, among other titles under my belt already. Best club in the world according to ranks.

    The thing that also makes me annoyed is that Serie A is still apparently behind EPL and La Liga in rankings although Napoli and Milan traded Europa titles for a few years and I faced Inter twice in a row in the Champion's Cup finals. Maybe being second behind EPL will be acceptable but I don't understand how the game thinks La Liga (Barca and Real fell out of continental competition early more often than not) is still ahead of Serie A.

    In any case, there's no reason for any of them to be unhappy. They've got their glory. They've got ludicrous wages. They've got playing time and a great squad to play with.

  10. I'm so absolutely effing sick of having to sell players every season. I'm trying to peacefully play my game, build a team, and invent stories for my players. But it doesn't matter how much game time I give them, how much wage I give them, how many trophies and medals I let them take home.

    Those bastars want to leave for every B team that comes knocking on their door. Arsenal, who hasn't won anything in the past ten years! Yes please! PSG, whom we beat every single time we meet them in continental competition? Say no more! Even bloody Watford had a go and there was nothing I could do.

    I've looked it up and the only "solution" was to bench them until the interest goes away but that's dumb as hell. I kept a guy for a year but he never stopped being upset and I still had to sell him. I sent another guy into the U19s for half a season and even though interest waned he stopped coming to training.

    I swear this game just hates you. The players and clubs all wish the worst for you. There's no dialogue options or anything you can do to appease them. You just really have to empty out your squad every season. Like a prostitute getting bummed by every club that wants in.

  11. I don't know if this is against the rules but I'm in a bit of spot. I'm playing in Serie A and I got a player I can't register. No problem I guess, I'll just run the in-game editor and fix that. Well, I'm flat broke and paying 5 dollars for something I'll only use once is a bit mad.

    Wonder if there's anyone willing to help me load up my save, fix him up, and send it back to me. I've tried to release the lad on a free so I don't have to see the massive abortion of a mistake but the board won't let me do it.

     

    Uh, remove this if it's against the rules? Otherwise, the guy's name is Hussein Pirbhai...

    (This could be avoided if Brexit never happened!)

    True, I was looking for two fullbacks last night, 11 years in so regen time & they're all 5 6" - 5 7". It's no wonder so many far post headers are scored  

    Yeah I'm looking at my squad now and it turns out everyone's on the short side. I've got a regen at 1.98 cm but he's an outlier lol. Here are his stats:2145538435_Screenshot2020-10-14at7_26_18PM.thumb.png.6cb0d3ec98dcecf3b884101af6339059.png

    He's not perfect right now but he's only 19 and I've only had him for half a season.

    Depending on his stats, I'd retrain him elsewhere - fullback or DM/CM as a BWM/DLP.

    He can certainly play DM/CM but I don't need bodies there now :P I have too many MC's, I had to move a couple of DM's down to CD's. I play 4-4-2.
