jam jameson Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 1 hour ago, phnompenhandy said: Mid-way through my 3rd season and have stumbled across a very odd observation, which I can't tell is a consequence of Dan's file or built-in SI coding affecting leagues this low. I've previously admitted that I use a utility to monitor CA. What's happened is that a glass ceiling has been reached. By the end of season 2, two players had the joint-highest CA, which I will call ZX. This season neither have increased at all, but the players behind them have all caught up and are on ZX. I'm giving the lagging fringe players first team action now and I expect that by the end of the season every single member of my squad (30 players) will be on the same CA of ZX. The said CA is too good for this level (10) and probably for a couple of seasons yet, but I'll get unstuck around level 8 if they don't rise. The glass ceiling could be a result of the level they are playing at, in which case it should rise next season, or it could quite reasonably be due to my terrible training facilities. After being refused two years running, my chairman has finally agreed to an upgrade after this season finishes. I'll continue to monitor this closely. since you're able to check the CA, you may give a look at the PA too. Maybe the answer is there, your players have reached their top, even if I understand that they've reached all the same level, and that's a bit odd...

phnompenhandy Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Into my 4th season now and loving it. The players know each other and my one tactic so well that they've breezed through the last two seasons (and at level 9 the reputation thing has resolved itself), but I think by next season we'll been properly challenged. One point - what I've done is create my own bespoke team which started in level 12, and put my U18s in the level 22 division. Whereas my first team consistently get eliminated in the first round of every cup competition, the U18s have won a couple of tinpot cups - but I can't see where to find the records of the U18s. Am I missing something obvious, or are they not there? Is this to do with Dan's file or FM17 in general? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullem Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Not sure which, but I'm not seeing my reserve team's cup victory anywhere other than on the past winners page of said cup. The competition history page for the club seems to only show first team stuff. Though I do remember past iterations of FM show U18 competition landmarks on there too, but perhaps because you've inserted the U18 into the league pyramid and isn't just competing in U18 group 1/2/etc that the PL clubs do then that may be why their records are acting the same as the 2nd/3rd team thing.

phnompenhandy Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 ^ Yeah, could be that. So, into my 4th season and another odd observation. I'm proving to be too strong for this level 9 division and will certainly run away with the league again. Entered into the FA Cup I had a few victories until I was drawn away to a level 6 side. We were thoroughly thrashed, as we should have been, but the gate receipts were the equivalent of a year's gate income. The thing is this - I'm monitoring my players' CA and my regular young first teamers' CAs were regularly increasing for three years - and then they hit a glass ceiling. None have moved for 16 months now (I set them up in the pre-game editor to have CA1 and high PAs as an experiment to see how they'd progress). My working assumption is that this is due to the limitation of my minimal training facilities. I'll find out soon because after 3 years of refusals the board did agree to improve the facilities in the summer and they come online at Christmas. So I'm keen to see if CAs start rising again in January. If they don't it means I'll get about as far as level 7 and won't be able to compete.

I'll try to monitor this but it will be difficult. I'm speculating that an upgrade in training of 1 point (out of 20) will enable an improvement in CA of up to 10 points (other factors such as coaching and hidden atts being optimum), so by a simplistic mathematical calculation, you'd need 20/20 facilities to eke 190-200 PA out of a player. The sounds both quite reasonable and rightly improbable to actually happen. From my club's perspective, it took 3 years to make the money to upgrade by one point. I will keep asking the board to improve training facilities as often as they'll allow, bearing in mind that I'll be asking them to upgrade youth facilities and junior coaching too, so let's see how often we hit another glass ceiling and just how much I can improve these kids.

Do you mean you want to put players in specific clubs' squads? Then you need to go to the specific divisions, to all teams in that division and go through each team one by one. If you just click on Level 11, Level 12 etc there's nothing in the subsequent menu - it's a long and laborious job, I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Are you asking about the pre-game editor to use to put players in the teams, or do you mean when you start the game and choose 'add players to teams'? If you mean the latter, no - in the drop down menu for the league to load up, you just click the lowest league you want (e.g. Level 22) and all the levels down to that one will be loaded.
