Jimbokav1971 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Has anyone sorted out what save they'll be doing once FM16 comes along? I'm torn between 3 things currently: Re-doing the San Marino Youth Challenge. Doing the every league challenge, but make it so I only need to win the top league and add in as many nations as the editor allows into the game. Do a youth only save with a team from the 23rd tier of English football which looks to be developed over in the editors forum. I love the idea of a Youth only save and I love the San Marino challenge, but after doing a Youth Only save in (GIB) I'm not sure that Youth Only works quite so well with such limited teams. As a result, I've decided that I am sticking with Youth only, but instead of managing in (GIB) or (SMR), I am looking to play in a big league that I have never managed in before, (at least not that I can remember). In addition to that, the specific team I want to manage is not playable at the start of the game in FM16, so I will have to holiday for a bit to get them promoted, (hopefully). A lot of people seem to start of with an idea of Youth Only, but then relax the rules a little, (or completely), as things get tough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I've got a message for Nobby next time he pops in here. I tried to PM you but it says that your inbox is full. Any chance that you (or anyone else in here, for that matter!) could remind me which recent version of FM had a reliable non-league update (EE Update, I think it was called) release? I really fancy starting a save with a step 4 club (Royston Town to be precise - I quite fancy trying to get promotion for the Crows). As I understand it, FM15 doesn't have a proper step 3 & 4 release. When I say proper, I mean realistic, thorough and reliable as the versions by Uncle Ron always were. I'm not worried about going back to an old version. I was thinking maybe FM13 was the last one that Uncle Ron worked on? I forget. I know you tend to download it for a better non-league experience. Also, I know you have high standards, so thought I would write to ask for your advice. Whichever one you can vouch for will be good enough for me!

Dayum somebody is prepared...I may be cutting my USA career short as I wan't expecting anything until Friday at the earliest but look at the speed I may take part in one of the challenges first and wait for the Expanded England database to come out and have a good ol' English journeyman. Also hoping that my closest club Hereford will get promoted to the 8th tier at some point during that save.

forameuss Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm all of a flutter on what to do now. Annoying that the editor isn't available - although it's obvious why - as I'd love to get started on Gibraltar early once again. I did start a save with Partick Thistle yesterday just to get a feel for the game, but I'm thinking of just throwing myself into a Journeyman once again to get me back into the swing of writing a career. And if I do, rest assured that I'll spend no more than ten posts outlining the hilarity of creating my manager. I spent longer on that last night than I did actually playing.

DazRTaylor Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Seems fair. You shouldn't be able to spend money you don't have. That is the ideal world, not the realistic one.

Cougar2010 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 He's not though, they're free agents (though there stil are agent fees I guess), the clue's in the name Yes but nothing is free, its not just the agent fees that come out of your budget, other costs do as well. If you had £0 transfer budget in FM15 you couldn't sign free agents either. The question is really whether you should get a transfer budget when the bank account is in the red.

Cougar2010 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Then, you would eliminate a lot of mid-range Prem clubs who run a loss and need the prize money to bump them back into the black TBH it shouldn't be an issue. Prem clubs don't sign free agents after the summer transfer window as they can't register them which leaves the mid season window and how many frees have any Prem club signed in January? Saying that I'm not against the general theory: A) Should clubs get a transfer budget if the bank account is red - In certain circumstances I think its fair. In which case B) Transfer costs should only be checked against the transfer budget and not the bank account from a coding perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the £58m is split over the season. £58m/12 months = £4.89m a month approx which comes in under TV Revenue. You got £4.5m this month which is slightly different, not 100% sure why, maybe it gets split per day or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
