I've also worked in football and personally know many coaches who refuse to do additional courses on top of the accreditation they already hold.

I've been playing on half a star for years and have no issues with my game speed. I guess it also depends on what you personally consider fast / slow.

Yeah, you need to put in little restrictions on how you play to bring it to some kind of realism. No pressing tactics, etc. I use DOF for transfers also. In FM23, I went and added 10CA to all zvezda players to make sure they were more consistent as well. Only recently started my FM24 save and definitely overachieving but it's early days, so still enjoying it. And also, I have never won the CL with Partizan even though I tried every time from CM03/04 until about FM2017, after which point I started focusing more on getting that realism of battling to win the league against zvezda.

I believe that is the case, yes. Just register 15 players, even though some will be U21.

Your World also has significantly more players than original. Both Real World and Your World have huge player numbers. Don't know why, but that seems to be the case. Stops me from usimg either, as my set up has 135k to 150k players, and both of those modes hit 200k which just kills the speed.

I'm looking forward to an Atletico Madrid save I have planned for the full release 🙌

I'm fine with their exclusion for now, as that is realistic and will likely go on for a year or two for sure. My buggest gripe is that I generally simulate about 10 to 12 years before I begin a save, and then aim to play that save for quite a few seasons. Which means that Russia is out for like 2 decades in my game world. And I have to always come up with some horrible long term mess in my head to justify the ongoing situation not being resolved for 20 years.

I normally load quite a few leagues from around the world, including Russia. Since their ban, I have continued to load the league, but it probably doesn't add so much value any more. In a journeyman save, I find it unlikely I would find myself there with no prospect of European football.

Yeah, that sounds fair, I think I will attempt FM24 and see how I go, and preferably wait until FM25 make the change. Appreciate the feedback!

Hi, first time posting in this part of the forum, so forgive me if this isn't an appropriate format or type of question. I currently play FM on a 7 year old PC, haven't really had any issues before, but am wondering how it compares to what others use, and more importantly, if it is maybe time to upgrade to be able to enjoy FM24 with a reasonable speed / graphics. Current PC has: i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40 GHz (8 CPUs) 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Not sure if the above is enough info to gauge the quality. I tend to run around 50 to 60 leagues with about 130k players. I play in 2D usually, with maybe goal replays in 3D. Would a better machine improve my FM24 performance much, or would I not see a big difference? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

If they're your players, you would be referring to them by first name 😎

You could actually start the save with an unemployed manager just so you get a 'save'. Then you can copy that 'save' to the other computer, and retire the manager and add a new manager at the club you want. Both of you will then literally have the same game world, from CA and PA of every player to any other elements which are slightly different in each 'save'. Exactly the same starting point.

Sounds like a reasonably promising start. I grew up in Mladenovac specifically, so I'm keen to see how your young midfielder develops!

Thought it would either be Bežanija or Zemun! Good luck, I hope you can break the duopoly up there. I have previously tried to do so with other Serbian teams and always exclusively choose clubs from Belgrade where I was born, but never Bežanija and certainly never youth only 😄

Really looking forward to this one!! Did I misunderstand the opening post, or do we not yet know which club you are taking over...?

Is this when you have the same squad selected? Tactic familiarity will vary with the actual 11 players in the team (though, I agree, shouldn't be that much). I believe when you have no team selected at all, it usually displays a minimum amount, from memory.

Are you able to clarify what you mean? Do you want to have a database with all players loaded?

Was it a league made by SI? I would assume not, so probably need to raise it with whoever made it.

He's just accepted a call up to Serbia irl, interesting decision.

Look forward to this, many thanks 😊

Having never heard of him, I looked him up. Seems that after being convicted of rape in 2016, he only played for a Scottish semi-professional side. When, years later, he signed for a Scottish Championship side, the backlash meant that he was released without ever playing a game. I'd say that sounds about right.

If he gets released on a free transfer (i.e. Manchester United deems that there is enough evidence of misconduct to warrant contract termination) I would say it's very likely he won't play again at any noteworthy level. No one would dare toy with their reputation. If Manchester United stick by him, then that's a different story. I almost have a feeling they are trying to find legal and/or cost effective ways to terminate his contract. I don't see them keeping him to be honest. Probably not a discussion for the GD anyway.

There is usually one near the end of Feb. And then again near the end of March, because not all transfer windows close at the same time.

As others have mentioned, for now it seems all fixtures will be decided before the competition starts (based on parameters outlined above) so it is not a true Swiss system. I have also played chess competitively in a past life and did have the same thought about it being referred to as Swiss, when it doesn't appear to be 😀
