Looking to start an online game, hopefully we can get enough interest

Before starting, I just want to say that I'll probably do some mistakes because my english isn't the best (I'm french) I'm managing the french national team and I'm playing the EURO 2024. In my first match, one of my players got a red card and therefore he's suspended for the next game. So the next game arrives and I choose who's playing and that suspended player is automatically a sub. The problem is that he is counted as a player that can play so I'm not able to start the game and therefore to continue my career. And because i'm in a competition I can't remove this player and I have no idea how to fix this issue. The only way I see is to quit the job but this idea bothers me. If you have any idea please let me know.

Good evening and welcome back to the Hopton United Journey. Todays part we will be looking at Novembers results in the league and we will take a look at the months players stats and also take a look at the overall player stats to date. We will also take a look at the current league table at the end of November. There will also be the opportunity to vote on who you think should win player of the month for November. So lets start today by taking a look at the 4 league matches this month. Not much happened this month apart from 4 league matches, but im sure as we progress through the leagues, there will be more happening especially when we enter more competitions. To see the rest of the post, please check out my blog on a steemit and whilst you there give me a follow and an Upvote to see the story progress. https://steemit.com/gaming/@ricksterblogs/football-manager-2018-the-hopton-journey-part-5

Hello! I would like to know what the club's edition looks like step by step. Namely ... I want to create my club, in the game I click my own club. I create it in a given league (eg, first league). I will replace it with another club. Once I create it and save the game, I want to edit it in the "in editor edit". He searches for places (eg Gniezno - as I set up when creating a club). The team pops up. I change everything in my own way ... budget, staff, etc. ... Saves and exports. When I enter the game and click on a career, I have a saved file in the upper right corner. I mark it and click on it ... When the club selection window is open, the club is not on the list. After loading the game at the beginning, nothing changes. And here is my problem. What do you think? What did I do wrong ? I would ask you to list in the table of contents how it should look or solve the problem in a different way. One more thing ... it's better to make a new club through the game or in the editor? I am also asking you to write in points how to properly create a club, edit it and save it to appear on the list of clubs in your career (or your own club option) l Thank you for your help

I get the "Game could not be loaded" when trying to load the save game from the cloud.

First off, I started a career mode with Liverpool, I spent about 4 seasons before I got sacked. Later on, I accepted Monaco's offer and I have spent about five seasons managing Monaco. I just concluded the fifth season, and there's this strange bug that started obstructing the progress of the game. Counting from the month of June where it updates player career stats and also process the club's finances, a bug suddenly pops up as it quits the game. And on the home screen it says, "Unfortunately FMM18 has stopped." I've tried restarting my phone plus clearing cache, yet the problem remains. I don't know if this can be rectified, but I think it would be my last time playing this game if it eventually happens that there is no solution to solve this problem. I don't want to clear the game data because I do not want to lose the current career mode with Monaco. I mean what's the essence doing that? That is suppose to be the joy/fun we derived from the game. Have you for once encountered such bug? Were you able to solve it and continue your game? Please reply and help a soul, thanks...

I'm Andy by name, and I have always been a fan of football manager (mobile version). I've been playing this game for about 4 years now, and I believe the game is matured enough for proper updates. After purchasing the latest FM mobile, I noticed there wasn't much difference from the previous version. In fact, I still prefer playing the 2017 version. I don't know how possible it is to get these updates in the future, but I would suggest my opinion on it. I don't see myself wasting my funds in the future for something that is unsatisfying. While playing the FM mobile 2018, I noticed some issues/updates which I thought you guys could work out about the game. Sometimes transfers don't get through even after agreements with both a player and a club. However, I only experienced this when I tried selling some of my players. The others went well, but one didn't go through as expected. I always received a message via inbox that the transfer of Sinclair can now be completed, but in the message there isn't any option to confirm the sale. The worst part is that the message kept coming repeatedly, I tried transfer listing him again but no clubs were bidding, I checked the player's status and it says (Looking forward to joining Westham). It has been like this for 2 seasons now, please if it could be fixed I would appreciate the developers effort on that. SUGGESTED UPDATES: 1. There should be more media interactions, just like there are match conferences/interviews in real world football with coaches and key players giving their views on few questions, this is how it is in real world football. As a coach, I would like to also comment on players of other teams, and other coaches should be able to do so at my players as well. Much fun could be added when these features are included. 2. It feels boring when playing a game like this without sound. At least when a player scores, there's suppose to be a celebrating sound. This should also apply when my team wins a final or league. There should be congratulatory sound when you beat your toughest rival, it should also apply after a victory on a semifinal match. If I could make a suggestion towards that, I think the popular champions league music should be added plus a celebrating chant when a team wins the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE cup, while every other competitions can have a normal celebrating sound. 3. The developers should also add the most valuable/richest/best teams roaster at every season/year. There should be national teams ranking just like the FIFA world ranking. Lastly, I wanna comment on some common complaints made by some fans, I've seen many people complaining about how difficult the game was to them and thereby rating down FM. To me, the harder the game the sweeter the fun. If the game was too easy for them, they all would still complain. It feels so nice looking for a solution to a difficult problem, that's where most of the fun lies upon. I once felt like them when I had difficulty winning matches, I understood that there were factors responsible for that. I took my time to try different tactics and also tried some players with a different role, and at last it worked out for me for that season! I started winning matches once again. What's more, even in real world football, bigger teams do get beaten by smaller teams at times, most especially when the bigger teams have some problems, like injuries, player morales, fatigue etc. So I don't see any reason why people complain about the game being difficult. Y'all also forgot you once fault/blame Mourinho, Guardiola, Wenger, Conte etc, over some disappointing results they had at a time. Unfortunately, this is how it is with those coaches. It isn't easy as they have to scrutinized their formations, tactics and squads to get the best of them. Some others do complained about getting sacked by the board, I'm fully in support of the board. They have some requirements given to the manager for the season, and if the manager fails to get them what they want, then it shouldn't be any deal getting them sacked. I want the board to be more strict, although sometimes there should be considerations if maybe the manager deserves a second chance. I really hope the developers see this and give in to my epistle on FM mobile. Looking forward to a better update. Regards, Andy...

Hello. I would like to propose the game to be auto-saved after the end of every game.Thus, both the game will be more fair and we will be sure that no game crash will push us to play again any lost game. Thank you.

Wow!! the list of errors in game on FM18 is frankly embarrassing, the 2 glaringly biggest errors are shooting & free kicks. I have never in my life seen such an array of terrible shooting, even players with the highest shooting attributes in the game are awful at hitting the target. In the grand scheme of things in real life the majority of off target shots cross the by-line within the parameter of the six yard box (this is a 6 yard either side of the goal posts room for error), there is certainly an extremely limited number of shots that are closer to the corner flag than the goal but in FM it is vice versa!!, you have to go along way to see a shot go 18 yards wide in real life!. My other point on the biggest in game errors are free kicks and the pointless nature of them in FM18, I am currently on my 6th season of my current save and have yet to see a free kick scored (either for or against), it is infact extremely rare they even hit the target. Again even the players with the highest free kick taking attributes are woeful at taking them. These are areas of FM that must be improved as it renders the game an embarrassment.

I have encountered this problem with online gaming. Very briefly: with a friend I started a career onlie. I was a host and he joined as a client. The results of the games he played never matched those that were later reported. Even the matches of my friend's team to whom I was assisting did not correspond to the dynamics, performance and results with what he was actually playing. Example to me results that he had lost 1a0 with an expulsion and goal of Tizio and instead he, in the game he played, had done 2a2 with goal of Caio. How is such a thing possible? It is impossible to play. Can you give me an explanation and understand what the problem is?

After the most recent update was installed, the game keeps freezing when i try to progress pas todays date, 18 january 2018.

Hi, I am having an error when re-loading the game from the start menu, it says "the save game could not be loaded" The first file i played worked for a few weeks and encountered this problem so I deleted these files because i assumed it was just one of those things and started a new file. It has now happened again after the first save. I have uploaded the crash dumps and i am running McAfee anti-virus. The autosave is on and one of the very last version is working, but im keen to restore the latest version which is a manual save.

Hi there, i'm not sure if this is a right sub-forum for the topic but I have problem with starting online game (Football Manager 2017). Everything was fine just few weeks ago and than it started bugging. Sometimes my friend and me make a success (start a game) but mostly we can't start it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Game: Football manager 2017 OS (both): Microsoft Windows 10

Hi, I play a network game with a friend. When we came to play each other in the league, we did out team talks and pressed play to start the match however the match engine/interface did not recognise this so therefore we were stuck on the pitch as the game couldn't play. It thought we were still doing our team talks. We managed to pass this by forcing one of us on holiday. However this ruins the game as one of us couldn't manage their team. Please help, as online as been full of bugs this year. Thanks, James.

Include an instant result feature so games can be simulated.

Game has ended but i cant proceed, it shows up as teams warming up, even though the game has ended. PLS HELP, it would be a shame if i have to force shut down the game, after such a delightful win.

My career save has a problem. When I start playing a match, it does not work. An error message tells me to shut down football manager 2018 : "Crash FM 2018 V18.03.1036176(2017.11.06.16.12.19).dmp". Excepted when I go on holiday, it works fine. In the uploaded files, you will find the dump file. Where should I send you my career save ? Hope you will manage to fix it. Good luck and sorry for my approximate english. FM 2018 v18.0.3.1036176 (2017.11.06 06.03.33).dmp

When making senior players available for U23 games from the email, the calendar freezes after pressing continue and does not progress forward, also, matches sometimes don't show up on the calendar and its blank when continue has been pressed.

i'm excited to try FM 18...But apparently my "game purchase can't be re-validated successfully", i'm dissapointed as i bought it on steam. Is this an actual issue or do i have to wait 24 plonking hours to play?

hi, went to play fm17 today, and when loading up it said the save game cant be loaded, i havent done anything to the save files, what can i do to get into my save, ive got really far and dont want to give it up yet

Anyone interested in joining a new online league?

Hello I just had a windows update, and since then i can't load my current save anymore. I've tried a few things i read here (trying to restore a previous version - didnt find one, trying to go on beta mode on steam - didnt work). I've been told that SI has a tool to restore save and that we can send them, is is true ? It's a nearly 20 year save, all of them in Lifeban with tranmere, and i haven't reached Premier League yet, i'd be really sad if it is definitly lost. Thanks in advance

Hi, Two days ago I was starting Steam to play FM. Then I was in the library and tried to start the game but Steam make me download it again (I dont know why, because I didnt uninstalled it). When the download had finished the game started normally but my save could not be loaded... Re-installed the game again but still getting the same error. No power problems, no hibernation, nothing... Cant restore a previous version, Windows dont show any. Other saves are working well. What should I try now? That save was nice, im sad... Thank you in advance. Edit: Game already uploaded to FTP: guz.fm

I'm waiting to I open the game from steam, nothing happens

Hello all, I need HELP regarding BIG GAMES! I haven't usually had this problem with past FM's but in FM17 I have struggled to get my teams to perform in big games when it matters. I know that this can come down to player attributes and traits but are there any general things you do prior to/during big games that help your team turn up and perform? Example of a big game...Last Day of the season going for the title; Play Off Finals Etc... Would love to hear people's opinions about readying your team for a big game + whether other people have this problem regularly?..
