Geordie Magpie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Been tempted to load up Football Manager again, always have loads of motivation for a save during a transfer window but think I will hold off until the winter update with anymore new signings we get. Newcastle save on FM after the window shuts could be very fun especially if we get a few more quality signings through the door! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Used to play FM every release but a combination of work, disappointment with NUFC irl, plus increased game complexity meant I wasn't as die hard as before. New era now. Might consider getting this year's version when they update the transfers and bugs, and when the price drops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Took the plunge and bought it last weekend, not been disappointed. Managing the Toon and spent roughly £249m just before the season started, on Kieron Trippier, Sven Botman, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, Yves Bissouma, Tyrick Mitchell, David Brooks and Dusan Vlahovic (though Kamara has been out since his second game and Brooks has a 'medical condition' keeping him out). Currently sat second in the league with the same points as the leaders after 7 games, though did get dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Chelsea. Deffo need another AMC for the formation I'm playing, maybe a new AMR too at some point just for depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally thinking about this earlier on today, but my network save takes up a lot of my FM time. It would be a lot of fun, although imagine if you could make it so Ashley took over after a few months... Edited January 16 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Just been linked to the Bolton Wanderers job, apparently I'm keen to take over at the Nat Lofthouse Stadium. Yep, 2026 and they've had a new ground built, you know, that club in deep financial trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I've had this since it was released and haven't touched it. At this point I'm waiting for Winter Update before I start anything. I think I'm getting too old for FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Think I’ve stumbled across a pretty big bug. Used the 3 substitutes in a CL game, then get a player injured who has to go off so down to 10 (so far, fair enough). Gets to Extra-Time however, and it wouldn’t let me use my extra substitution to replace the player who went off, but let me replace one of the remaining 10. Luckily won in Extra Time with the 10 men but that’s a bit shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 There's a some sort of shit show about feature lies or something. Seemingly all that progressive growth of countries isn't real, so if you takeover some backwater club... let's say... Celtic... and keep winning everything, Scotland will never develop as a nation.

Yeah, noticed this as well. Had a Rosenborg save back in the day, made them the best in the world and Norway rose to the top of the league rankings and everything - yet no Norwegian club started spitting out good kids so the comedown would be inevitable as you'd never be able to field a properly great team across the league without any Norwegian wonderkids to take over the Norwegian spots. You'd imagine the country would start generating some more talent upon seeing its teams be successful in Europe and not just always fall out of the qualifying rounds and so on.

He's one of the most condescending dev's I've ever heard tbh. I thought they sorted this issue though.

lxsln Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 They have fucked up LLM because of VAR. 50% of the goals you make in PL go to VAR, in LLM they are ruled out immediately. I have 11 goals ruled out in 7 matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lxsln Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Made my biggest jump so far on FM. Second season and jumped from 1st in the National League North with Curzon Ashton to 21st in the Championship with Millwall. The first match is at home against Sunderland.

lxsln Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Spent several hours scouting players in January, sold for 22,500,000 and bought 6 new players for 19,750,000. However, when I select the squad for my first league match after the window closes, I realize that I have not registered them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play him in the PL and he's the same. In fact any and all levels. I buy him or loan him for every game i play. He's basically a cheat mode.
