@Minuy600 is trying to finally get a save going in Holland with VVSB, he isn't bothered to make a thread about it though.

Thanks for the mention, @Makoto Nakamura. Just beginning the new season with Celtic now, hoping to win that fourth Scottish Cup this season. Good luck to everyone mentioned above, some cracking threads amongst them, not least your own adventure in Cornwall

How could @Makoto Nakamuramiss off my 378,912 threads.  😂

[JD nawrat]

So I only recently bought FM18, started a save with Hamburg with a view to it being a short, one or two season save, then I'd start an FMCU thread and all would be good...

Instead I got sucked into my HSV save for 29 days, 15 hours and 15 mins (at the time of posting... yes, I fall asleep with my game on a lot). It's the 2022/23 season and Hamburg are 4-time Bundesliga winners in a row. We conquered the Europa League once and have been in a Pokal final, but yet to conquer Europe or the domestic cup stage unfortunately. 

This is how things are going. I'd been planning to see the save out until I hit #1 for the Nation & Nationality rankings, essentially becoming the German Fergie and turning HSV into the new Bayern (who have been on a massive decline and are a Europa League team at best - have finished 6th and 5th in the last two seasons respectively)... but with Bayern on their knees, I feel like the save has perhaps become a bit too easy. 

So now I find myself looking for a new save. To do an FMCU for  Part of me wants to restart with Hamburg and do some things differently, set some transfer policies in place, such as Germans only (might slacken this to allow me to sign from within Germany and free transfers), because my current HSV team is shockingly biased towards non-Germans (think I have 7 Germans in my 24 man squad). There's also the hope that Bayern don't crumble and present a more fierce challenge...

But I'm not sure if I really want to go through it all again. This team has been quite special to me to be honest. But I'm a bit gutted I never got to detail it and share it on FMCU, so I kind of want to give it another go

Failing HSV, any suggestions? I like to manage in one of Europe's big 5 leagues, but don't mind going elsewhere if it's tempting enough... my laptop is a bit rubbish so I generally prefer to stick to these 5 as any more and it takes about 3 weeks to load the db  Always tend to prefer the idea of being the underdog/smaller club in a city... I had a Union Berlin/Torino FMCU if anyone remembers that from a couple of years ago. So the likes of Lazio are appealing too... might have just found my new team actually, Lazio would be perfect  Good bunch of players but not a CL team, not bigger than their cross-city rivals and have enough substantial challenges in the league to hopefully make it interesting (Juve in particular to begin with of course, but on my HSV save I've found Milan and Napoli have actually become bigger than Juve in terms of challenging in Europe and battling for domestic honours). 

e: on second thoughts Lazio may be a bit too easy, they're not a million miles off being a CL team and with Milinkovic-Savic being so good/potential gold mine, I think a rebuild would be easier than I wish. Torino could be a good shout again, not sure how they look irl these days as I don't follow Italian football like I used to.

*gets vague flashbacks*... I vaguely remember someone from Mexico... a Bayern shirt... arrrrggghhh.. whatever it is my brain has blocked it out, it wants to forget it.

[Minuy600]

I have a considerable lack of concentration on terms of careers. Started with VVSB in the Dutch third division with the thought of it being long-term, now i'm tempted to jump into my own Kosovo DB and manage a club from the lowest division there, AND i'm tempted to finally win my first silverware with Feyenoord or PSV. Now i'll never get further than 2019 this way.

It's this Mexican striker I had whilst managing HSV that I decided it would be a great idea to sell him to Bayern. Then it went like this:

... that was just the first season. He'd torment me for like 5 more years, beating me to the title with Bayern every time. Then he moved to Man Utd. Then he kept on tormenting me in the Champions League anyway.

 @Jimbokav1971 has gone from Iceland to France to Chelsea and has a 2nd save where he's managing Sunderland in League 2,

Yes I have moved from HK in Iceland to Stade Rennais in France and on to Chelsea in England and yes I have also introduced a 2nd manager in the same save starting in control of Sunderland in League 2, (although they are now a struggling Premier League side). 

In more important news however, it should be pointed out that @Makoto Nakamuranot only creates the best threads, but does the best forum updates on everyone else's threads. 

[deltablue]

He also creates the most, being on 10 this FM year alone I don't think I've made that many career threads in total!

[Minuy600]

Guys. I have officially won a prize on FM. The amazing, dazzling, sprankling, fantastic... Dutch Super Cup.

 

In all seriousness I am glad the silverware count is no longer at zero, gives me hope I can win something more important.

[Minuy600]

Hahahahahaha! I had the most worthless month on FM ever so i've already deleted this save. What a treat! I really shouldn't have offed VVSB.

[Jimbokav1971]

I think my 2037 save is dead. Every time I try and save, the game crashes. 

[Jimbokav1971]

Now I can't even load the save without it crashing. 

[Minuy600]

Does anyone know a good club that is not in a competition of the top 10 European countries or Holland and has extremely low expectations so I can build on the road in a relaxed manner?

I do better than that. I keep a save every season for ever. 

It won't let me save games at all and crashes when I try.

It's a crash every time I try to save the game. 

It seems like it is a common crash for those with Asus laptops. 

I have seen that reverting the last Windows update worked so I am doing that now.

But what actually happens?

If Windows updated after the last time it worked then it's going to be that, if not the drivers.

Even with older games like FM 07, there's a certain update that stops that (and other old games) from playing. I ignored it, but one random time it installed it anyway, so had to uninstall and ignore it again.

When I try to save a game I get the following message. 

It happens each and every time. 

I upgraded the drivers this morning so I have reversed that so it's not that. 

I have uninstalled the windows update so it's not that. 

There are loads of threads created in the last few days about the same problems. 

Hopefully the lads in the office manage to sort it out tomorrow.

I'm having a great time at FC BW Linz in the Austrian Erste Liga (2nd Tier), the club starts off (in FM17 at least) as the only semi-pro club at that level, so extremely low expectations, I'm currently in my 5th Season (which is my 2nd longest FM save ever) and I haven't even gotten promoted yet.

Your response is slightly too late as i've already picked NK Imotski from the Croatian 2nd (or 3rd in FM18) tier, but i'll keep it in mind for if this save fails.

I have the Scottish leagues loaded, but whenever I'm looking for a new job in the summer there's never any SPL clubs looking. Does anyone here have Scottish leagues loaded? Is there a resistance to sacking managers or am I missing something here?...

Right so I've decided I'm going to start a new career thread again - part way through 2nd season with Rayo Vallecano. Gonna get to 1st Jan then start it from there, looking forward to posting again.

Anyone who has played in Azerbaijan before? Seems like a great competition for me, with a short-ish season and two clubs that have the potential for world domination.

Finished my first season as a U13 coach today, and we finished it with style, clinching promotion to a higher division. 0:2 down at half time, won 3:2 in the end. They parked the bus and just hoofed it at the quick guy they had up front, but they were absolutely knackered in the second half and we roared back. Great day for the boys, a couple of them really proved their character.

Gonna be coaching mostly the same group in the U14 league next season. Onwards and upwards!
