Unfortunately, I don't really play anymore, haven't in a couple of years. (I don't currently have any games downloaded, and 22 was my most recent purchase.) Regardless, you can always copy all of these files/folders somewhere safe so that you can put them back where they came from if anything doesn't go according to plan. Or place them all somewhere safe in a manner that tells you where they came from. But if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask and I'll answer as best as I can next time I'm here. And I can help explain what I wrote about the 20 game if that helps. (Note that if you're playing a more recent game than 20, some of these steps may be slightly different.)

Yeah. Unfortunately. I'm not sure if this is true as those countries being able to realistically win a European competition is a definite positive. But perhaps you're right. And I don't think that lower-league teams wanted top-tier youth sides in the EFL Trophy. I'm not sure if they would want top-tier first sides.

When I first heard about the Conference League, I was intrigued/excited as I thought that it would only include the bottom half of the countries in the coefficient or something like that, but once I heard that teams from the top leagues would take part too, I quickly lost interest (what's the point?) and was amazed that many were shocked that the first final featured fairly big name clubs. They should have had the Europa League change to being only for clubs from the top half of the countries in the coefficient and then have the Conference League for the bottom half countries.

Little FM things that annoy you...
USASoundersFan replied to KingCanary's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Being told scores of other matches and that I've moved up or down to a new place in the table with no way to turn off those in-game alerts like there used to be. (Unless that was fixed for 23, which I didn't buy, but I don't think it was.) Those alerts really take me out of being immersed in my own match, and I don't see any real life manager ever caring about other scores except possibly on the final day of the season. -
I really don't like a format in which the schedule is unbalanced. Every team should play every other team in their group an equal number of times. I know that they're aiming to have everyone play roughly equal schedules compared to everyone else as far as the strength of their fixtures lists goes, but there's absolutely no guaranteeing that. I remember when CONCACAF did this type of format for qualifying for their first Nations League, and I thought that was a really stupid format as it was going on. I do like no dropping down to other competitions, but, of course, that could have been implemented with the current system pretty easily.

New Uefa Champions League Format
USASoundersFan replied to Celtic501's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Then have nine-team groups. I don't like that not everybody in the same group plays the same opponents the same number of times. But, whatever, there are other things in football that bother me a lot more than this. And at least the strength of schedule for everybody will be roughly equal. -
I do not care at all about other matches or an updated league table for the vast majority of the season. I just want to focus on the match that I'm playing, immerse myself in that. So, I agree with you. I do not believe that any real-life managers are receiving updates on other results or an updated league table while managing except for rare instances on final match days and similar circumstances. I think that there was a way to turn this off a few years ago, but, for some reason, that ability was removed. And, honestly, that has a lot to do with why I haven't purchased FM 23 yet and may not.

Dialogue Exchanges are Childish
USASoundersFan replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
What caused FM to no longer feel immersive to me was the incorporation of these interactions several editions ago. They're just not realistic in so many ways, and there are so many times when my natural response is not any of the options given to me. -
Does Russia ever go back to normal?
USASoundersFan replied to jcp1417's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
They didn't know how Brexit would go ... okay, fair ... but they're acting like they know how this is going to go, that this suspension will be forever, that there's a 100% chance of that. No variables, no alternate scenarios. Plus, it seemed like those Brexit scenarios were relatively easy to fix with the pre-game editor, if I recall correctly, but this is not. I am fine with them doing what they've done with the game as loaded - no end date to this punishment - but they should not make it so difficult to alter it in the editor. -
What's going on with the Club World Cup in FM23? I know that there's just a huge question mark regarding its future in real life. How has FM handled that? Is it still assuming that the expanded format will come into existence, has it returned to its every-year, seven-team format, has it been removed, or? If the expanded, every-four-years version is in it, have the rest issues from FM22 been fixed?

This is one of the aspects of FM that really makes me hesitate to buy a new version. I really wish FM's focus was on being as realistic as possible as having injuries be lower than real life ... it just causes an unrealistic game world. Like you, I also feel that it would be great if FM was like OOTP in that I could set it to a "realistic" injury setting if I want and to actually depend more so on my club's medical professionals and on knowing how to handle a roster with a realistic number and severity of injuries. And I don't want to use an editor file that just focuses on older players. I enjoy football much more than baseball, but I find myself playing OOTP more because it provides a more realistic experience as far as injuries and other aspects go.

FM23 Headline Features Revealed
USASoundersFan replied to decapitated's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Disappointed but not surprised at the complete lack of mention or apparent focus on international management despite the game coming out just a month before a World Cup. Yes, I get that more players would want to focus on the club side of the game even if international management was polished, but international management does not deserve to be this neglected in a game that supposedly prides itself on being realistic. -
I finally purchased FM22 and am playing my first league match, and all of these score updates of other matches in the league are driving me crazy, and I can't figure out how to disable them. Worse, a Google search has only come up with them not being able to be disabled. I have zero interest in scores of other matches except maybe on the final day of the season. I just want to focus on my match. That's all. Is there really no way to disable them? I'm playing on 2D, if that's relevant.

Help! How have Tottenham qualified?
USASoundersFan replied to RichH's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I think it's a bug. I hope that if Spurs does lose twice and ends up third, behind Benfica on head-to-head goal difference, the "Q" would disappear. -
Watching 90 minute matches...
USASoundersFan replied to SlayerX's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I watch every competitive match in full in 2D. The meaningfulness of the match is irrelevant. I do highlights only for friendlies though. -
Amount of teams in top division
USASoundersFan replied to Celtic501's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I like 20-24. Closer to 20 is better.
