Jason the Yank Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 You had to move some of your wage budget to cover the signing on and agent fees, but it was usually an insignificant amount and you could easily afford it. Nope, never had to. Although usually I wasn't paying any signing-on fees. Maybe some agent fees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

withnail316 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 That is insane youth and reserve schedules. Surely a bug has got in your game. Yep, I thought that. If it wasn't 2036 I'd probably start again, but I'll just live with it and hope it's only an issue this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverbird93 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Do people prefer monthly, seasonly or something different altogether for updates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I think something like 2 to 4 updates per season is the easiest to read without going into insane detail and still maintain regular interest. However I personally can't be arsed anymore to stop playing for screenies and writing all that often so I do it per season. Just do it as you prefer, really.

deltablue Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Monthly isn't bad, between that and every half-season is probably the best I feel in terms of balance though people have different preferences. I do it every few months or so depending on FM sessions and match schedules, usually Oct/Dec/Feb or March as my 'middle' of season update along with end of season and Pre-season.

kingjericho Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I like a yearly update. A simple template like dafuge's (I blatantly used his template for last season's updates) is neat and straight to the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
withnail316 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It depends how long it takes to play a season for me. It takes me anything up to a fortnight to play mine, so a monthly update means my thread stays active. If I could fly through in a few days I might change my update style, but that's just not realistic for me now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Same here. My Thisted save started out with individual updates for each match, but I am switching to monthly for the second season to make a little more progress - obviously writing up the actual updates takes time as well...

DazRTaylor Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Currently stuck for ideas on what to do to. I'm not feeling the love for my youth save at the minute and I'm not sure what I want to do. Why not a career game? Start as Sunday League rep, no qualifications and either a bottom tier team or unemployed. Doesn't have to be England. Swedish fourth tier is always fun.

Holland & Germany are particularly good due to no restrictions on who you can sign. If your scouts find a sixteen year old Ivorian wonderkid, you can sign him.

Nottingham Forest Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've always struggled tbh. The best one I started was back on FM11 where I started in South Korea. I got off to a poor start but kept my job and built a good side with some British coaches coming over. I signed a new contract and I thought all was going swimmingly. Then at the end of the season I was released. I'd been hit by a bug which didn't recognise me signing the new contract. One of my coaches took over and promptly took the side I'd assembled to top of the league. I'll try and see if I can find the thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

withnail316 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm another advocate for the Scandinavian (Nordic) leagues. Even if you start in the second tier rather than the 3rd or 4th, they're a lot of fun to get you going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameuss Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think my Scotland save has rekindled my love of FM. Helps that FM16 seems to be the most stable release they've ever done, but the ME is producing some wonderfully exciting games. Also probably helps that in international football, every game matters.

JD nawrat Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Long time no talk. Need a club for a new FMCU. I want to do something similar to my Union Berlin save last season where the idea was about taking over a side in a big city but they're the smaller team from that city... would prefer to start in a second tier (third maybe if England, but depends). Any thoughts? Only two I can think of are Paris FC and 1860 Munich. Both somewhat appealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 If you want to do something much more obscure and much harder, here's a team I found out about recently... Inter Bratislava. The poor relatives of the much more competitive Slovan Bratislava. They're on the third tier so you need to holiday and hope they go up, hence also eligible for the Gundo Challenge.

Rikulec Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Cracovia in Poland, great history but in the recent years they've fallen behind their arch rivals Wisła Kraków and for a couple of seasons even become a yo-yo club between the top two tiers. Kraków used to be the capital of Poland and now it's the second biggest city in the country. Also, the derby is one of the wildest and most violent in Europe.

Nottingham Forest Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Being Yeovil on FM14 iirc was one of my best ever saves. It's a shame I ruined it. It seems that they have 10? injuries to key players on this FM and most are long term. That's even worse than Forest. I've tried to be Forest, got to the end of November and we were playing really bad so I packed in. I still have the save though. Tried to be Accrington but we were bad in that save. Gone back to being Forest but on a new save with a different formation in mind. Maybe I'm just poor at FM . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Need something to spark my interest in FM. Tried being Forest, twice. But we're that bad that I can't do anything. Tried Accrington but again it doesn't interest me. I like a particular formation, 4-3-2-1 with wingers and playing a defensive, direct style of football but just not sure. Would love a career save but started up two and lost interest. Maybe I should try England to start off with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
