That's down to a number of things.. The team's needs, the manager traits etc

That would depend.. It's cheating if you come onto any public forum or space to talk about your success without disclosing the fact you used a premade list of players you already know will become gods in game.. It's not cheating if you do so without the comforts of your own personal game and dont pass it off as your own genius at work.

Short answer is that user submitted photos are going to be in limited numbers and are resource heavy.. you'll have to have them all as part of the game files... not to mention the issues with having to use peoples photo's legally... They just need to improve the facegen.. it was fine a few years ago.. now it's outdated.

Yeah, as long as Belotti is confirmed... do it... vardy, while good will decline soon enough, better to get your money in now and replace with quality... Belotti certainly fits that... look at the likes of Josef Martinez etc too maybe?

Only just seen this thread... great OP smurf.

You tried adding fm.exe to the exceptions list in avg? or swapping rendering mode for fm in preferences? If fm.exe is already in the exceptions list, avg will either be effecting your graphics drivers (maybe update or roll those back?) or avg is just enough a resource hog that it's slowing down your system enough to lag slightly when both are on...

Obviously not.... his name is Jon for a start...

Agreed, hate this stuff on the forums... just trying to get views up and not contributing to the community...

Great thread.. will update my progress here once I get going.

Loving some of these finds... can't wait to start looking myself

The more they update the graphics engine, the more they will need to simulate in the game engine behind the scenes.. adding animations to show the player touch the ball with the inside of his left foot means simulating the change of pace on the ball, the direction, how the player moves the step afterwards, how it affects the balls movement, how the player marking the player in possession reacts (and every subsequent player on pitch, and a million other reactions to that one touch that is now simulated in the new shiny graphics engine.. Pro evo is mind numbingly simple compared to simulating a full on match in detail like in FM

Completely agree with this by the way,the graphica card is the least of your worries when deciding a system in terms of FM.. any half decent dedicated card will ply the game at medium settings at a very decent rate... the 1050 is certainly in that catagory.

This.. in a nutshell... I would also add that I see my scouts as the first step only.. they are one tool in many that I use and I certainly don't decide anything based on what they say alone.. the amount of perfectly suited players I would have missed out on because my perfect scout claimed the players lack of pace or downside in any area is ridiculous.. I don't trust them 100%. Basically, I like to cover all the bases and have every finger in every pie to hopefully spot any potentials and then just zero in on the ones that are great... The thing about finding unknowns is that they are generally unknown because they lack something that everyone else can't or don't look past.. the players I tend to find and post on the forums are all missing something that everyone elses typical filters miss... It's why one of my favourite players in recent editions is someone like Pavelka... everyone looks past certain key attributes that are missing, but fail to see that what he does have is pretty unique to his level and reputation. (in this case, it's his technicals which are a weakness,but his mental attributes are hard to find in someone so obtainable and cheap)
