You keep the original ID and location of the replaced club, but change the name of the club, name of the stadium and other such details. You can then go on to create new staff (including yourself if you're the chairman) and players with their names and have them at the club at the start. I regularly do that.

Dan BHTFC Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) An annoying thing I've noticed about the editor is when you create a cup it only adds the number of first teams in the league and not the reserve teams so it means going into the game and noting the correct number of teams, annoying!!

timmins23 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Hi lads, quick question. I've tried a few careers on the database now, this being my first fm I think I might be going wrong somewhere with my game setup. During my first season the players I can sign on frees are pretty OP and generally tear up tiers 9 down. I'm wondering is there a way I can make it so that the players being discovered by my scouting team are more at that level. Is there a way I can do this or should I just do academy challenge and use only the players I start with? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way I can do this or should I just do academy challenge and use only the players I start with? Thanks. The game is set up by SI to be realistic down to level 6. Below that the quality of players is unreliable. Certainly for all sub-L6 semi-pro levels there is little difference, so if you want a challenge you have to build in your own. I myself do the Academy Challenge and that is tough enough. There is also the Director of Football challenge where you appoint a DoF and all transfer and contract activity is up to him (and he will be hopeless at this level). But you can make up other kinds such as signing only players over 30, or choose some attributes to go low such as maximum Determination 5. Another one I do is to create players for my team in the editor and set all starting CAs at 1. Whatever you do is going to lack authenticity as it's outside SI's remit, so go for whatever is fun for you.

You will then have full rosters for every teams (no more grey players everywhere. In my experience, this makes things slightly more difficulte and realistic (you can still sign OP players but they have relatively less impact as the other squads are not empty or just filled with juniors).

I've scrolled in the editor file, and the Others have a pattern. Is there a RL reason? does this mean that a team promoted from such division may be randomly put in any level 10 division?

phnompenhandy Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I started a new save with this yesterday but am restarting due to an editorial oversight on my part. I'm managing two sides, one as an Academy Challenge and the other as a Director of Football Challenge. I hadn't thought through that advertising for such posts at this level is unlikely to produce any response, so I've added two people with the editor. In the spirit of L12 amateur pub teams, I've added a hapless DoF-cum-HoYD to the DoF Challenge team and a chairman who doubles up as HoYD to the other - the Academy Challenge side. I'll write off yesterday as a trial run where I played about 30 pre-season friendlies in total (both senior teams, their reserves and youth sides), winning 2 and keeping a grand total of zero clean sheets. I'm finding at this level in FM19 the players are visibly more crap than they've ever been in previous versions! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Database - small + all players from the 2 L12 divisions I'm managing in and the two above that I'll get promoted into - 6 divisions in all. I have the top divisions in the main European leagues to keep the international scene reasonable. It gives me 38,000 players - 4* with my rig. I add key staff and players - that way the opposition doesn't play greys and I have to deal with excess dross in my squads. Today I fired up the new save this morning and spent six hours before I progressed to Day 2 where I played against my reserves. That's how long I take assessing all my players and tweaking a thousand times until I hit on the formation and tactics I think will serve me. I've got 50 pre-season friendlies lined up (senior, reserves and youth sides) to keep fine-tuning before the season gets underway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only get physios, scouts and coaching staff with attributes no higher than 2, so I assume his attributes will be similar. He'll be some guy who lives local to my village team. I'm following a thread in FMCareer Updates where he's doing a DoF Head Coach challenge. He started at Hemel Hempstead in Van South where his DoF basically got him the sack. Now he's in the Championship with another team and had Dougie Freedman doing a great job. If you extrapolate from that the expected quality at the very bottom of the pyramid, it should be as hopeless as the rest of the staff and players. In my new save I've got to the end of pre-season. I gave the DoF a list of players to get rid of and a list of requests of positions needing strengthening. So far, nadda. In terms of your specific question, what I love about managing at this level is that mentally, I can so easily interpret any AI weaknesses as realism. So anything the AI is not good at handling simply makes the experience all the better. There are a couple of exceptions though that appear to be due to the latest hotfix. In my first friendly, against my own U18s, the ref gave us 2 red cards and 10 yellows. Since then I'm seeing red cards every 2 or 3 games and that's on easy tackling. The second thing is my part-time fat, one-legged, lazy opponents keep scoring 30-yard worldies in the 90th minute - maybe 30% of the goals scored at this level are Ibrahimovic-esque. Can't do anything about either, and the opposition definitely benefits more than we do, so I have to just suck that up until the next update.
