Using ver 1.0 for few seasons and it performed well, will start a new save trying V2

Season 27/28, this season is so wild, I just got promoted, with only 500k wage budget, didn't expect such a wonderful start. Beat Liverpool 4-0, Chelsea 2-0, draw with Man City 1-1.

Wait, year 2060? You have all my respect sir.

It's actually not complicated. 1.Using Daveincid's realism patch. 2.Let staffs control all transfers/staff hiring/contracts/training etc. (DoF challenge). 3.Exceptions for rule No.2, you can choose one player (from scouts' reports of course) to sign per window, still, you can't do the contract and the fee can't be over 50% of your budget for this window. 4.You can only let your players play the best role for him. 5.You can't do recruitment focus, OI, set pieces. I'm currently using these rules & restrictions, coaching Cambridge United from League One, and it's just the balance I need. I think I did my work on average level of all players, and my final results for the season are just a bit beyond the media prediction for the team. Pretty enjoyable.

There are certain things that SI has zero interests while players do, giving these examples to SI won't do any good. And there are things that SI do have interests, but they don't want to share with us. Players of any game are always curious and seeking some possible answers. Like I said earlier, I also agreed anyone come to any conclusion should be very careful.

I'm a big fan of your work, and playing a save with it right now. The first season has passed, and I think your patch has made the game more dramatic. This is a conclusion with even less samples and being less rigorous but in a normal gaming world. Still, this is something no one can proof it right or wrong even someone played 99999 seasons.

No worry, I got your point. I think you are the kind of person who favors certainty, that's cool. Many variables are excluded from the control in various experiments. For example, in a chemistry experiment, if some reactions occur in the morning and others in the evening but all other conditions remain the same, we consider them equivalent. This is a premise for attempting to draw conclusions from experiments. And for many experiments related to FM, the premise needed is precisely what you do not agree and do not care: realistic or not doesn't matter to those who do their experiments. In my view, those experiments are not aimed at drawing general conclusions (although they may use this as an attractive gimmick), but rather resemble: 'In certain circumstances', things are likely to be…… Again, you can argue that without 'in certain circumstances' and 'likely', they are wrong, but their work still has reference value which you don't care.

I agreed that a conclusion is a difficult thing to reach and requires extreme rigor. Fact is, in this matter, it's clear that we cannot meet these conditions to get the 'proof'. While no experiment can ever yield universally rigorous conclusions, confidence in our findings can be enhanced if the conditions are properly set. @Daveincid, what's your opinion on this video? Sorry can't directly post it, it will take hours to get approved. And what's your opinion on EBFM's experiments if you have watched them?

I'll vote for FM05 and FM20

Actually I'm waiting for EBFM to do some experiments about morale. That guy is who I totally trust.

I want to collect some data about English League One and would appreciate if anyone could help by providing some screenshots. Thank you! 1.Your save need to be original database. 2.Your team is not in the League One. 2.please show me the table of the first season (23/24), need media predict and the final results. I'm running with the daveincid's database, want to know what the difference will it make in League One. xD, thanks again for your helps!

Some thoughts: The basic framework involves incorporating the majority of the mechanics from the FM24 game itself, alongside the D20 system to modify corresponding parameters. Race: Different races affect the attribute range of players. For example, vampires have a maximum Jumping Reach limit of 10, Skavens have a maximum pace limit of 25, and so on. Class: For each player, different categories of data accumulating to a certain threshold in a match, such as every 0.5 or 0.3 xG, every 5 successful passes, etc., will trigger an extra event. The impact of the extra event may involve changing the player's abilities in the remaining match or other effects. Different classes determine the triggering conditions for extra events and the pool of events that occur after triggering. For example, a paladin could temporarily boost the mental abilities of teammates every time he get 0.3 xG.

On the football field, the differences in ability between Erling Haaland and my nine-year-old nephew are significant. Haaland is undoubtedly stronger, faster, and more technically skilled. What if my nephew understands how to use magic, has studied sorcery from the Far East, has three dragons as his companions, wears a gun on his belt, and he's actually 600 years older than Haaland? Things might get strange yet interesting. As a game designer in the real world, part of my job is to constantly inspire myself to create more engaging game content. One of the primary ways to gain inspiration is by combining unrelated elements or experiences that I enjoy. I love football and enjoy playing FM. I also appreciate the novels of Haruki Murakami and Shuhei Fujisawa, the films of Alfred Hitchcock and David Fincher, historical simulation games, and fantasy CRPGs. So I thought, why not record those wild ideas about football? In the medieval era six hundred years ago, countries large and small waged war against each other for survival, power, wealth, and faith. Powerful nations possessed strong armies, vast territories, and abundant wealth. If people's love for football surpassed their pursuit of other things at that time, then powerful nations would mean better domestic leagues and more talented youth development. England still has decent leagues, but there are also many young people from Europe who hope to fulfill their football dreams in the Ottoman Super League and the Mamluk Premier League. Many teams in the Holy Roman Empire have strict restrictions on foreign players, and so on. In another world, a football coach is very troubled as he doesn't know how to arrange his team for the new season. His squad includes an ambitious human dragon rider, several dwarves who are only slightly taller than footballs but have exceptional skills, elves who are equally talented but refuse to compete alongside dwarves, a Chaotic Evil vampire, and a group of local Skavens. Introducing the D20 system into football seems to be quite enjoyable. And how would stellaris football league work? …… Among all these ideas, I haven't decided which one to pursue yet, and I'm not sure if they're just passing thoughts of the night that will be forgotten in a few days, or the beginning of a project. But if I come up with something, do something, I'll record it here, and if anyone has any more interesting ideas, feel free to share! Cheers.

I watched some videos, and interestingly, the conclusions drawn from videos with more rigorous experiments are that morale neither affects the team's performance nor the player's growth. This conclusion surprised me because it contradicts my common sense in real life and also contradicts the information SI tells me on the game's loading screen. With this question in mind, I've been paying more attention to morale in the game over the past half month, and now I gradually agree that the role of morale is indeed limited (based only on subjective feelings from a small sample). However, I did have found a positive effect of morale: it has a decisive role in improving Team Cohesion. I want to know how everyone views this issue. What do you think morale affects?

Excellent layout, pretty sure you're a UX designer or some similar job position. xD.

Here's another info. In my current DoF save, I only have 1 WBR where I need DoF to focus on, and I have 5 WBL in the team. I deleted all WBL in the squad planner to see if it will affect DoF's work. Before the transfer window opens, I saved and reloaded it for 5 times. DoF never sign a WBL for me. So I think squad planner will not affect him.

I once had a thought a bit like yours, it's FM 1444, a medieval football world. Inspired by Paradox. But never start learning how to make a db myself. Love your idea, please keep going.

That's a good question, from my experience I think they know.

I made a new tactic for the next season, and the squad planner too. What I need is a decent DM plus 2 WB, hope our DoF can receive the hints. Our wage budget rises from 238K to 250K, too much shorter than I expected I have to say. Let's see what our DoF can do for us with the funds. Hardie wins the scorer list, he is named in ToTY too. Another upgrade facility request has been approved. The new season will begin in few days, here are the transfers that the DoF has made so far: Justin Hoogma, 3-star CA and 3.5-star PA, a decent DC, nice physical and defending. Cost us 1M. Surely will be our starting DC. Liam Bennett, 2.5-star CA and 3.5-star PA, young player, very nice personality. Cost us 700K. Will be our starting WB on the right. Jack Taylor, 3-star CA, 3.5-star PA, very balanced on abilities, a decent midfielder, cost us 325K. Often gets injured. This is our squad at start of the new season, I feel that compared to last season, we haven't significantly improved. Our transfer budget has been used up. Hopefully, our luck will be better than last season.

May 2024 The match begins! 4', In the Ipswich vs. Huddersfield match, Ipswich scored a goal to lead 1-0. As a result, we were pushed out of the playoff qualification zone in the live standings. 45+2', Leicester also scored a goal in another match, leading Blackburn 1-0 for the time being. In the first half, Hull consistently tried to slow down the pace of the game. We kept up the pressure, but with little effect. Their defense was solid, and they posed a threat with several counterattacks. 51', Huddersfield has equalized! Ipswich once again falls behind us! 60', Hull has a corner opportunity. The corner is taken, and there's chaos in the box. Suddenly, the referee blows the whistle, awarding a penalty to the opposition! The referee believes Doukoure shoved Dorrington. They easily convert the penalty, we're in trouble! 64', We've got a corner, Randell delivers it to the near post, Gibson rises high and heads it in! 1-1! We've equalized! At the same time, Leicester has been equalized as well, there's a new change in the standings. 73', Leicester's goal has been breached again, they are now trailing 1-2! I'm not sure what happened in that game, but Blackburn scored two goals in a few minutes! 78', Leeds United scored against Southampton. They have entered the promotion zone. 80', Only 10 minutes left until the dust settles. If we win this game, Leeds United and Southampton draw, and Cardiff loses to Rotherham, we can get promoted directly. But this really requires a miracle, no, 3 miracles. 82', Another corner kick opportunity for us. Butcher also sends the ball to the front post, again it's Gibson. Can he score his second goal? The ball hits a defending player near the post and bounces out, unfortunately! But the ball doesn't go far, Gibson gets the ball in the goal area, three defending players completely block his shooting line, he can only pass the ball behind him to Butcher. Butcher slowly dribbles the ball into the penalty area, he is observing the position of his teammates, just as the defending players are about to pounce, Butcher suddenly chips the ball towards the far post! Hull's defending players must have been praying that no one is there, but there's a green figure already rising high, it's Bundu! The ball is in! 2-1! Mustapha Bundu! The hero! We won the game. We did everything we could, but no more miracles. Norwich and Leeds secured automatic promotion, while we will participate in the playoffs. May 15, 2024 Championship Playoffs Semi Final First Leg, Leicester vs Plymouth Their performance was nearly flawless, and even luck wasn't on our side. May 18, 2024 Championship Playoffs Semi Final Second Leg, Plymouth vs Leicester We are just a few goal differences away from our dream. If we had one more victory, or even one more crucial goal, our dream of promotion would have come true. But that's football; there are no ifs. We will show the world our best, and our fans will always be proud of us. The season has ended, not our dream.

Apr. 2024

The question you're asking actually involves a lot of details that ratings alone can't provide. You should pay closer attention to his various stats, as this will make it easier for you to make adjustments. This is an example from my save:

Mar. 2024 Mar. 2, 2024 35th round of league, Plymouth (5) vs Ipswich (8) Much easier than I expected. Only 2 points to the auto promotion zone. Mar. 6, 2024 36th round of league, Sheffield Wednesday (20) vs Plymouth (5) Such a disappointing draw, we were 2-0 leading earlier but can't hold the advantage. They scored 2 goals with through balls. Mar. 9, 2024 37th round of league, Blackburn (11) vs Plymouth (5) Here's the problem we have. While we are attacking, there are too many players crowded in the middle, compared to other 3DC tactics, our 2 WBs find it difficult to create threats on the wings. I added an extra striker to spare the room and replaced the starting WBL with a left-footed player. Hope it will work better. Mar. 16, 2024 FA Cup Quarter Final, Plymouth vs Liverpool We held on until extra time, eventually losing 1-2 to Liverpool. We should be proud of ourselves. Mar. 23, 2024 38th round of league, Plymouth (5) vs Preston (19) Only one point to the promotion zone! Let's check our 3 attackers, see if the players' data aligns with the intended design of our tactics. Ryan Hardie, playing as PF-at, our only starting forward for most of the time. He leads the league's top scorer list with a margin of five goals. From the data, his pressing and interceptions are particularly outstanding. Although he doesn't attempt many shots, his xG and goals are impressive. His main weakness is that he excels mainly in seizing opportunities inside the box and tends to lose possession too often when dribbling in the attacking third. He is close to his full potential now so we can't solve this by improving his ball controlling abilities. I can only set his PI to Dribble Less, hope that will help. Ben Waine, sub forward, playing as AF. He has wonderful finishing data as Hardie, and has the same problem as Hardie. He can still improve so that's what I'm going to do. Morgan Whittaker, playing as AM-at. He scored 14 goals and have 5 assists in 37 games. He's a bit too much of a lone-wolf than I expected. I'll let him dribble more and take more risk. Hope these changes will make him do more teamwork. Mar. 30, 2024 39th round of league, Norwich (1) vs Plymouth (5) Most of their players have much better quickness than ours, it's lucky we didn't get even worse result.

Feb. 2024 Feb. 3, 2024 30th round of league, Swansea (12) vs Plymouth (3) We have the upper hand in the game, but their aerial advantage makes our defense helpless. We dropped to 4th after this match. Feb. 7, 2024 4th round replay of FA Cup, Plymouth vs Luton The players have been amazing in this match! The first goal was a testament to teamwork, with Warrington expanding the defensive area, Cundle's exquisite footwork delivering a brilliant pass, and Waine's excellent positioning crucial. We made it! We shall marching on. Feb. 10, 2024 31st round of league, Sunderland (6) vs Plymouth (3) Sunderland is only 3 points behind us. This match is crucial for ensuring a spot in the playoffs. We dropped to the edge of the playoff zone. Defending against high balls remains one of our biggest issues. Feb. 14, 2024 32nd round of league, Plymouth (6) vs Coventry (23) There's only a four-point difference between 2nd and 7th place, that's crazy. Feb. 17, 2024 33rd round of league, Plymouth (6) vs Leeds (7) We've climbed to 5th place, just 2 points behind the auto promotion zone. This is the comparison of the stats between our 2 starting AMs. Although they play different roles, the 0.57 difference in average rating is still surprising. Wright prefers ball controlling but he makes fewer progressive passes than I expected. I'll change his role form AP to SS, so he can have more chance to attack directly. Feb. 24, 2024 34th round of league, Middlesbrough (17) vs Plymouth (5) This draw hurts. Feb. 28, 2024 5th round of FA Cup, Oldham vs Plymouth We received 262K prize money from this victory. We are an exceptionally united team.
