    I haven't played the new one yet but just talking about little bugs/annoyances.

    The Board are happy that you are 1st in the league and playing attacking football.
    The board are unhappy with the 2-2 draw with Burnley.

    Even if that happened weeks ago!!


    I get the fans think that selling player x was a bad piece of businerss
    player x was on 190k per week warming the bench

    Or buy player x was a bad piece of business
    Player x is leading the goal and assist table

    Or if you buy a 19 year old 'wonderkid'. Not quite ready for the first team yet.

    "The fans think buying Diego Messi was a waste of money" (can't remember the exact term).

    In fairness that happens in real life, especially at any sort of big club, some fans are short sighted

    Its not as bad as when someone scores a hat trick and you have one fan saying he’s top class, one fans saying good performance do it again, and another saying he’s terrible and overrated

    The social media stuff? :D

    Player has a worldie.

    "Wow, we're lucky to have him"
    "What a player!"
    "Here comes the over reaction to Messi"
    "Am I the only one who doesn't rate Messi?"

    It's ridiculous. I know it's nearly that bad in real life. But apart from Mourinho, who criticises a player if they have a 9/10 game? :p

    They should really have left out the sm stuff if they were just going to do a 50:50 split for every interaction imo.

    Started up a game with chelsea for the first time in 5 years I'd say, never got heavily invested in FM this year, after Chelsea's sht year irl, maybe some FM success might bring me back.

    I feckin hate the social media stuff. I get that it's a parody of idiots on twitter but it's annoying as hell.

    *player breaks leg* "he probably just fancied a few days off"

    If they insist on social media it should be one or the other. Praise a good performance, bemoan an injury. The only time I think mixed reactions work are first team transfers.

    Got back into my Luton game the last week, was on track for a battle over 4th in March & at least a second straight top 7 finish but terrible form saw me slip out to 10th. Lost the Cup final to Liverpool and started the next season terribly. I feared I would get sacked for the third time in this save but a good Christmas run has seen us jump back up the table.

    Sometimes you can find players to buy on the social media section which is quite useful. I try to keep an eye on it but I'd just prefer to have the news back the way it was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,522 ✭✭✭Wheety


    I'm still playing 2017 touch. Don't think it's worth upgrading every year. But the touch version cuts out a lot of the stuff. Not good if you like setting up training and attending press conferences though. I ignore the social media stuff and get through a season fairly quickly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    I had a falling out with a 33 year old Danny Rose over lack of playing time so I sell him but the supporters are going mad and organizing protests on social media.

    Drawn against championship side Reading at home and the fans saying our FA cup run is over :D (won it 2 times in a row)

    Ungrateful pigs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,596 ✭✭✭threein99


    Played yet another Forest attempt. Won 8 in a row at the start of my second season , scored loads of goals looked fantastic. Won 1 in 12 after that and got the sack.

    Ok need a new save, I tend to get board after a few years in as I end up winning everything

    I need a new league and team to play in

    Preferbaly something in Europe just none of the Asian teams as my computer would probably explode with multiple leagues - any suggestions

    Might try San Marino in Seria whatever they are in C or D

    Finished season 2 with Roma.

    Ran away with the league. Three striker formations seem way OP. Cutrone and Belotti murdered everyone, the latter winning the "Best Player in Europe" award (that's the Balon D'Or?). Sadly, lost to Man City in the EL finals though.

    Bayern are sniffing round me now, and Roma are being stingy with their transfer budget too. If I do a third season with them, it will be much the same team as I had in the second, so if Bayern offer me a big transfer budget, might head off and see this save as a "Win each of the leagues" one.

    I read 3 striker formations are a match engine exploit

    I've noticed a weird cosmetic bug and wondering if anyone else has seen it too? My regen players keep changing skin colour when I start the game back up. A very minor issue but never seen it before


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,848 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    Had the changing skin colour for a couple of fms now

    Regens will also have hair one week and be bald the next before growing the hair back in time for the next week

    Bought a Congolese player who was black


    Next game he was white with ginger locks

    Player: Boss I want to leave

    Me: Sound job out the door with you

    No offers for the player, so i then try to get him to find a club

    Me: We know your time at the club is over, find a new club

    Player: I’m not happy at all with how you dealt with this, this isn’t the last you’ll hear of this

    TFW you sign a new forward for €900k on €10k p/w with the intention of selling your other forward on €12.5k p/w for €1.1m to balance the books, and then...

    This game does my head in when it comes to transfer offers. I had a complaint last year about a homegrown LOI striker receiving poor bids but this year it's taking the p***. So far this summer I've had 3 players get angry at me for rejecting bids; my record signing LW & starting CB & LB

    LW - Bought for £40m 18 months ago, after a good second season he's 'valued' at £32.5m. Spurs offered £25m potentially rising to 40. Eh, no thanks Levy.

    CB - Bought when I got promoted for £5.5m, capped 70 times for NI so he's British, valued at £7.5m although I'd look for a lot more. Keep getting bids potentially rising to £6m but starting round 4.

    LB - Capped 80 times for China, bought him for £8.5m & he brings in a tonne of money from shirt sales. His value dropped to 3.5m despite him being a good player & first choice so now I've got teams like Atletico Madrid trying to sign him for £2m. He's handed in a transfer request now four days before the window closes.

    My player values suck cos I'm Luton but that doesn't validate offers below not only that but what I paid in the first place. Their contracts have multiple years left, the oldest one is 26 & it's not even as if we're a poor club. This is my 5th season in the Premiership, our lowest finish is 13th, highest is 7th & I had a £100m budget this year.

    Well that's my rant over :pac:

    Anyone play Bielsa's 3-3-1-3 or 3-3-3-1 formation?

    My laptop is 3 years old and if I have it on full power settings it starts to resemble the noise of a hand drier from a toilet

    Playing it on a decentish spec PC but built 5 years ago, no different to every other FM I'd say, chugs along a bit, and the new player search lags because it tries to auto-return results as you add parameters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    I don't know whether to laugh or cry :pac: I sold my captain in January cos he hadn't played much (5th choice CB) then my main CB was sold on deadline day cos Chelsea met his release clause. Because of Brexit reg rules I could only add a homegrown in England player so decided to roll with what I've got. Then on February 4th my now assumed starter was recalled from loan for not playing enough (I was paying monthly fees so didn't think they could do this) and now I've only got two CBs to last the rest of the season :o
