Are you running OS Catalina?
It's basically spitting out a blank file (looks like it's corrupt) and I think that's why YouTube won't accept it. A quick Google would appear other users are getting the same issue on Mac OS Catalina...
Yeah I'm on Catalina 10.15.2. I didn't have to grant FM any permissions or anything like that afaik although if it ever prompted me I would have done (other than targeted advertising haha).
@JordanMillward_1 all good.

I'm on a Mac too, and I'm struggling with this, it's spat out a .ogv file in this location:
/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2020/uploads
Also, the file size seems rather small. Doesn't add up to me.
Is this correct? As YouTube won't upload it
Hello mate, I just tried this again to check for you and mine is an ogv file which YT allowed me to upload. Look it's uploading to YouTube for me now.
For reference my file is a 7 seconds highlight and it's 93MB.
In FM you need to add the highlight so it should look like this.
It brings up a loading screen whilst it's creating the file. I've got a 2016 MacBook and it took a couple of minutes.

With the IGE you could put yourself in the favoured personnel of the players he played with, add your own favoured personnel and put the new Roy Keane where he rightfully belongs, in the Legends list at Man Utd (SI have him in the Icons).

So when they are in your B team you should be able to go to the top right corner and under the filters add your B squad. Then you should just be able to select the players but if they play a set number of first team league games (I believe ten) then they will be registered for the first team and unavailable for the B team. I spent six years with Atletico Madrid on a journeyman on FM19, my B team being a major focus, and this was how it worked for me then. If it's not working like that then it could be bugged, I've not managed in Spain on FM20.

Well it's a feature in the preferences to link FM20 to a YouTube account, so I don't see why it's not doing it, is it a bug?
What's the best way of exporting video's from FM20 then, if I can't upload them to you YouTube directly?
So you go to the relevant game, go to Review and Share Highlight Video and then select the goal highlights you want on the video.
Then rather than clicking upload package, click the arrow next to it and select export package.
It will then come up and tell you the name of the file and the file path to find it. I use a Mac so the file was hidden but when I searched for it I found the folder, I'm pretty sure this should be easier on PC than Mac as well but not sure of the exact file path.
Then you just log in to your YT account and in the top right you should be able to see a camera and the option to upload the video.
They upload really quick, then to post the video you here you just copy paste the share link and it embeds automatically.
edit: oh and yeah I'm pretty sure it is a bug but I toggled everything with Steam, my Mac and FM and it just wouldn't work

Cheers, but I'd like to link it directly - how is it possible?
I tried a bunch of workarounds and checked online for ages to find a way to get in that way but never could find the answer.
When you say link it directly, do you mean on here? If you export the video, upload it to your YT channel (you have one if you have an account) and then just post the link in here.
The only difference that logging in to YT in game and uploading it outside of the game is you won't get a Steam achievement.

Tried to login into YouTube via FM20 and I'm getting this error:
Any ideas?
I couldn't get it to work. If you export the video you can then upload it manually to YT.

Winning the CL from Scotland is doable and fun plus as long as you keep hold of your players and keep that Anglo-British tinge to the squad, it won't be too easy. I am not a fan of Scottish football (not saying I hate it, just not an active fan) but I have had an absolute blast there in the past. One thing that is fun is even when you get to the point where the league is brilliant there are always three or four terrible teams in the league so your U18s can easily get first team exposure straight away and the reputation of the competition is still very high.
On my really long term Dundee United save I lifted Scotland way up the coefficients despite providing no assistance to the rest of the league other than my European glories increasing the coefficient. You will notice that once the second place team in your league starts qualifying for the CL group stages automatically the quality just explodes and you start to see all sorts of cool stuff. However, in my experience this is more of a fifteen to twenty year thing minimum and you'd have to keep going well beyond CL glory.

To be fair to you, you did provide me with a screenshot so it was right there for me! Haha

Thanks.
The strange thing is, is that they are playing well together and what they are each saying in their profiles also confirms this.
The news item and advice currently makes no sense. Unless I'm missing something.
Oh yeah! I hadn't realised you'd meant they actually had a positive indicator on their player profile. Bit of a weird one. Either the one on the player profile uses a different time frame to the one on the tactical page or it's a bug. Very strange though!
1 -
@rootcoors Right I am 99.9% sure that this just relates to their performances whilst on the pitch together. I don't tend to implement the advice from that news item but it definitely looks like it is saying what I thought, just that they've not performed well together in the team, and it is listed as tactical advice as well.

So you saying there is nothing I can or need to do then and the I should just ignore it, or?
When I read it, it sounds like there should be something built into the game that I can do to make this partnership improve - I was thinking maybe I need to make them train together or something like that. Not sure if thats even a thing though.
Is this piece of information appearing at the bottom of your tactics screen when there is an orange or dotted line between the players? If it is then I personally would ignore it, although if the game is telling you about other things going on then I'd check their information to see if it says they are struggling to connect. If so, get the one with a weaker personality mentored and that may improve things but it will be slow. I am confident if it's just the tactic thing then so long as you were getting good ratings with them in those positions then they would be fine.

I am pretty sure this advice is based solely off the ratings they have got whilst in the team together in those positions.

nope its end of season which is 24th june in england. you have to wait for all leagues in the country to finish. you are refering to team of year
I definitely get mine when they go on holiday for the season (way ahead of 24th June), normally the day after the CL final or whatever my last game is. The Team of the Year I get after the final game in that competition, so the PL I get Team of the Year the day after the final PL game.Yeah, I clearly can't read as I'm talking about the end of season awards.

Believe it ties into what type of contract the player was given (so Youngster/Breakthrough Prospect etc) would come into one of the youth teams. But yeah, agree this doesn't look great for a £9m signing, so would be good if you could raise the issue here so our team can look into it - https://community.sigames.com/forum/724-all-other-gameplay/
Would be worth uploading a save game ideally just before the item appears so we can reproduce. Details on how to upload saves here - https://community.sigames.com/faq/football-manager-2020/238_how-to/241_pc/how-to-upload-files-for-support-r847/
Thanks.
I get this when the player signs and goes into that team for the AI sometimes, I think it might be when it is actually the U23 manager doing it? That was my assumption at least.
I would actually really like it if when we signed a player for an U23 or U18 spot that it was announced they had signed for that specific squad. Know it's only a minor change but think it would be cool to have.

So I THINK I have an answer to your problem, even though it isn't perfect. I recently learnt this myself from a fellow forumer, was delighted to do so and now you are the first person I get to pass this information on to!
So it's Scouting > Scouting Centre > Filter > Advanced Filters like this...
I now don't receive any scouting messages in my inbox having set it like this...
You can't do it specifically for your shortlists, although if you want to get scout reports and not scout your shortlist then you can do that on the shortlist page here.
You just untick the box. May be a bug but you can only do this for all shortlists or none.

yes :-) But finally, after 26 years(!), they have built their own stadium. located in Blyth. Not named after me (as a Blyth-legend ingame) but after Robert Dale, also a Blyth legend :-)
Deserved. Robert Dale is a true legend.

it comes into your mailbox on the 24th June if playing in England, otherwise find it where you looked
It's actually after your final game of the season.

So the criteria for players having to be a least "competent/orangey-yellow circle" is just for passing on players traits then?
That's right. I generally have attacking, central midfield and defensive groups (plus a gk one if necessary). I have never used a GK to mentor an outfield player so not sure it is possible but I use it solely for mental stuff so I actually prefer to have a mix of positions.

It’s extremely rare for MY goalie to make 10+ saves
Haha, I know what you mean but I regularly see the opposition keeper do it even though I am more than happy with my goal tallies.

They get poor ratings but they regularly make 10+ saves which is extremely rare.

So players in the English leagues cannot sign for other English teams until the final month of their contract but they can sign for teams abroad once they reach the final six months of their contract. So any player with six months left can sign a pre-contract, will depend on the rules nationally as to whether or not this includes domestic transfers. You will have received an inbox message when a bid was made for your U23 player and you get inbox messages about players who are going to be expiring in the future at 6 month intervals (with a few extras). In terms of player search you just go to the filters and add in that their contract is expiring within the next six months if you are after the 1st of January in Europe or if you want to build a shortlist you can do this from 30/6 the previous year by filtering to a year left. In terms of whether or not the player's current club has offered them a contract and if you will be due to pay compensation, this information is displayed when you are confirming the transfer.

Yep. Lots of greens. It’s my go to chat for a rival game. A derby.
Yeah it's basically just specifically for rival games when I use it, particularly if I am the underdog. I sometimes use it on the final day or last home game of the season but without really expecting the same impact.

I don't think his hidden PA (out of 200) will ever change although I could be wrong. His star rating will change though and will go up a lot from reputation and forum rather than pure ability in my experience, far more than on previous FMs. I've also noticed very different reporting from different staff members and have had some scouting reports where I've ended up with flops even though I don't use attribute masking or anything like that.
I just wait on my mentoring until they are first team players normally but if you are in control of training (I always leave it to staff) then you can promote players from the lower squads to train with the first squad without having to actually promote them but I'm pretty sure this does not work when you've got training delegated. I've found when players are in the first team and made available for the U23s they don't play as often as they would if they were in the U23 squad although only had players in that situation a handful of times really.

Football Manager 2020 January & February Transfer Updates Feedback Thread
in Football Manager General Discussion
Posted
I finished my save about a week ago now and had been waiting for this patch to drop before starting a new one. I've read through the thread since the patch was confirmed and it feels like there is some ambiguity over whether there will be further updates. When I look at the Football Manager Twitter announcement it says that this is the second and final part of the winter update so that feels a little bit more like saying it's done (even if it is still left open). This is normally the final update in the FM calendar so it would be good to know if there is an intention to release another patch and then I will hold off starting a new save proper for now.
