What types of roles they liked as well. - Tendencies: If possible, I added tendencies, such as counterattacking, target man...if they often wore suits or tracksuits, if they roamed the touch line or sat quietly...etc. - Every manager has a club: The club they won the most titles with or spent the longest time with was used. If that was taken already, the 2nd best club was used, and so on. If no club was available, a random club was chosen from the league they managed in. - Current real-life managers have been replaced, of course. Either they are Assistant Managers on a 1-year contract, or been sent back to a previous club they managed. - Managers who are icons for a club were given long contracts: For example, Bob Paisley's contract for Liverpool is until 2040. - For long-term saves, all managers are around 50 or under - 20 rated attributes: Determination, Tactical Knowledge, Squad Rotation and all the Training-related attributes are 20. This is to make great managers, and to help(slightly) the poor player development and rotation AI clubs have. - National Teams: If they managed a national team, that was added if possible Better AI Managers Overall Besides the new managers, ones already in-game have been modified. For 130 CA+ managers: - Given a 20pt CA/PA increase - Coaching abilities increased also, relative to their CA - Tactical Knowledge increased, to 14 or greater, relative to CA - Coaching style from Not Set to General - Use of Subs is no longer less than 11 - Squad Rotation is 20 - Tendency to fit players to preferred tactic, no longer higher than 14 For 160 CA+ managers: - Added missing ethnicity, hair, skin info For 100 -120 CA managers: - Added preference to be Assistant Manager to 10 Questions Remaining: 1. There has long been an issue of unrealistic manager appointments. Would adding career plans help? For example, a Polish 160 CA manager hired in Italy. Would giving him a career plan to manage in Poland reduce that? 2. High quality managers without a job Would it be better to reduce their reputation so they are more willing to work in top leagues? Remove career plans? Or give them a tendency to work in lower leagues? 3. There is a new non-tactical attribute: Versatility Does anyone know what that refers to? 4. Formation variety is poor. Would anyone like it if there was more variety? For example, checking all 130+ CA managers: 179 prefer 4-4-2, 157 prefer 4-1-2-3 DM Wide, 155 prefer 4-2-3-1 Wide, and 83 prefer 4-2-3-1 DM Wide. Would adding variety make the AI dumber? Or are there other OP formations the managers could use to make them better? Input and Testing Welcomed: Having only used Google to know what these managers were like, someone with more knowledge can point out errors, or supply information as to their tendencies. Someone with great knowledge of FM's tactical side could see if a better formation should be chosen, or play style changed, etc... Of course, testing is needed: to see how the managers play, if changes need to be made, crashes happen, or simply if a mistake/typo/wrong info is found.

GazzP Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Do you have a version of this without the legendary managers? I'd like a database where the AI managers are better as currently, they're not a challenge long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\graphics\faces Download/install https://www.fmscout.com/a-fmXML-for-windows.html Do like below: Then open up FM, go to Preferences > Interface > Clear Cache. Then, also, reload skin. Should work then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't even bothered buying FM2018 because of crap AI managers and long career killing stupid squad building. If you can give me a DB edit that makes smarter AI managers I'd demand SI give you a job! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsanchezb Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 How did you test it? Do AI Managers really look better in the game and playing against them is harder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
