Never played the game before. So far everything that has happened makes Football Manager look very unappealing to a new user. After being tricked into buying one with a used Steam code which was a bad start, I now have one that doesn't have a used code yet the bad start continues. The screens are tiny and unreadable. So instead of being able to play it I have to research on the internet, study forums, sign up for forums and send request tickets to a support place that is on a redirected site from the site i signed up for. Screenshot I've added should show how the text and option boxes are all framed in a little box that is far smaller than the scope of my monitor and device screen size. Also: who the heck coded this post-to-forum page I'm writing this on? Every time you move your mouse you get an intrusive pop-up that says "Enter your text; hold ctrl and right click for more options". That also needs fixing, it's super-irritating and completely gets in the way of editing. N.B. People can read what I think of Steam on my Steam profile page of the same name.

I made a logo for my custom club, I added a normal and small version to graphics, the normal version looks good but the small version does not appear (on the league table, schedule ...) The logo is png and is 20x20. (small version) Can someone please help me?? Sorry for my bad english

Long time until FM2019 but thought I'd drop this in now seeing as it occurs to me. I play LLM almost exclusively (Conference National all the way down to level 9). Because the crowd sounds are designed for grounds like the Nou Camp and AlianzArena I either have to put up with the sound of 90,000 screaming fans whilst the attendance is actually 16 people and a dog or I have to turn the sounds off. My suggestion, then, is as follows... Scaleable crowd sound fx. it doesn't have to be extensive - empty (just pitch sounds), tiny (a few voices getting lost in the blowy outdoors), small (the chatter of a couple of hundred people echoing off a tinny sounding stand), medium (a few thousands people cheering, singing and oohing and aahing in a ground), large (a full modern stadium of people) and huge (The Maracanã, sounding as only it can sound). The ability to turn off the crowd but keep the pitch sounds on (ball being kicked, ref's whistle.etc) A, perhaps, more achievable alternative. It isn't a massive thing but it would enable me to make use of the sound fx in a way I haven't been able to before.

Trying to buy the in-game editor, when it pops to the screen to 'authorize' I can't click anything in the little box, even if I try to move the cursor to a specific spot on the page? I've tried every screen resolution size and although FM changes size the steam overlay does not. I've tried changing the launch options via properties in steam but still no change. Please help someone!

Hi there, Firstly, loving FM2018! However, the new one size borderless window replacing the full screen options mean that I'm squinting to see everything on the screen. Full screen is 3840x2160, which although does mean I can see more features; unfortunately means the lettering is very small. Zoom is at 200%, can it go higher? On FM2017 I had it set to 2048x1152, 60hz at 125% zoom which was perfect, as shown by the 397 hours sunk into it! Will there be any patches in future for flexibility on resolution size or further zoom in functionality?

Hej, i created an own club, added a logo file (same style as the logo-pack i'm using) and started the game. so far, so good. at the home-screen, the inbox, the club profile the logo looks good, but whenever the small version is shown (league table, player history) it just scales wrong and looks ******. i checked the id of my new club, and added a small version to the /logo/small folder, but it won't show (yes, i cleared the cache and reloaded the skin. several times.). i'm using the Football Manager Light Skin. at this point, i'm out of ideas. can anyone help?

I'm managing Cobh Ramblers in the League of Ireland and my club debt is at about -£220,000, and it is projected to get worse and worse, and I'm confused as to how I can help the situation. I'm in my third season with the club and each year the debt has gotten worse, apart from my middle season when a little run of good results in the early qualifying stages of the Europa League brought in about £130,000 to the club, putting us briefly in profit. The wage budget for the club is £8,100 p/w (up from £2,200 p/w when I first arrived, due to a promotion to the premier division and two smaller cup wins), but I'm only using £5,500 p/w of it; partly because I'm trying to improve the club finances, but I have also assembled a squad which is surpassing all expectations this season (board expectation was to "fight bravely to avoid relegation", but at the halfway point of our first season in the premier division we're on course for a very comfortable mid table finish) and I literally don't need to spend anymore of it! The board is delighted with my management of the wage budget, with a 97% rating on the board confidence screen. When I've looked more into the details of the finances, our biggest expenditure is wages even though it's at a completely normal level in comparison with the rest of the division, with one £33,000 transfer fee, which was pretty much the entirety of my transfer budget. If the wages are way too high for a club like this, then how come the board are allowing such a big budget? Is there anything else I can do to help the situation?
