>>74896437

>>74896437
Wingers are really good but I tend not to use them because they really limit your formation options
Is the match engine in 2017 any better? Thinking about getting it since it's on sale.
>>74896440
Depends on formation and the players in your team.
>>74896445
Crosses less OP, fluke cross goals way less frequent but in exchange there's loads of space between wide players and central ones when defending so IWB types are strong.
Performance across the board is better as well but that's about it outside of the brexit gimmick and NEW GRASS

I'm actually surprised that you're getting good TV deals. I found that this was the hardest part in saves in small countries: getting good TV money. Macca can attest to that, although helping out other clubs kinda helped a little bit.

Well time to eat my words. Tho' I dunno why the hell Atletico would want a second Slovenian GK who's vastly inferior in ability and potential to Jan Oblak.
>>74900748
Because >SI
They still haven't managed to programme the game to have teams sign 2nd choice keepers properly. You always see teams buy keepers for stupid prices and not play them. United signed Butland in my save and he did nothing for 2 seasons.
>>74900815
They've got 4 (as in, four) of them. Albeit one on loan and an old fart, but even then it's pretty useless to have two GK prospects; especially when a 33 yo keeper can be a backup for at least 3 more seasons.
>>74900894
>>74900815
Oh yeah, and 3 more in their B squad because reasons.
>Three shots on target
>Three goals
The first goal was complete spaghetti from my keeper trying to deflect a shot with his shin but it instead bounced into the goal. Then the own goal and the final goal for Real was a free kick
Agents, not even once.
>>74900815
I remember one FM2012 save where Barcelona bought 4 keepers and ended up loaning two of them to death until their contracts expired

I still think it was worse in 13, though
messi had scored 50 league goals in 2011-12 and I have to wonder if they tinkered with the ME to make fast AMC/STs more deadly
>>74902965
They did, they even went "too far" in FM16. Milos even said in interviews at a time CR7 had a purple patch that if SI tried to reproduce such performances they'd break the ME. I mean, even further than it is as of now.
>>74903020

>>74903424
>although I'm pretty sure it's not one of the last two
ID can change if there's a conflict, so I'd double check in-"game" if that's the case by having FM display IDs in the options.

I'm currently intentionally signing low det players, because I've never done so and want to see how much of a difference it actually makes.
I see AI low det players scoring 30 goals a season very often, so I'm curious.
Though my greatest ever player only had a det of 12, so it can't be that great.
Oh, I'd sign the right.

>The Netherlands have sacked head coach Danny Blind after two years in charge
Is it time for van Laal to make his triumphant return?
>>74904092
It's more critical for defensive players. You see when players make a mistake and go downhill? Det mitigates that. You see when Torres is invisible, has a incredible chance that he creates for himself but then hits the post and flops even harder? That's Det. Player who misses his penalty and goes on to be invisible for the rest of the game? Det. When Ramos bails out his team at the 90'+ minute? Well he has 20 Det (and Imp. Matches too). Of course, Imp. Matches, Pressure and that jazz also will have an influence.
>>74904158

>>74904092
yeah, I already have the guy on the right, so I probably won't bother. slightly curious just how much 10 points of determination impacts the performance of fairly similar players, but it's not worth the inevitable squealing and whinging from all of my rightbacks that think he's taking their spot

Verify that the extension is similar to the others. Are you certain that the ID displayed in FM is the right one?

Are you perhaps suggesting that the problem could be that it isn't a .png?

I looked in my FM15 and 17 folders. No TCM logo is a .jpg. Obviously it could be because of the higher quality of those logopacks, or perhaps...?

I had it happen to me after starting (yet again) a new save after 17.3. It fucked some pics I added because there were changes, additions and removals in SI's db.
Is it worth buying 29+ year old pacy strikers (Aguero) for around £50 million? Never had a long term save, usually stick with youngins and kick the older players out when they hit early 30s or on the decline

What's the most you've ever spent on a player, /trb/?
And did he end up being worth the fee?
>>74908751
spent £30M on Donnarumma in my casual Everton save, he's quite good as you'd imagine
>>74908751
£90m
Best striker I ever had
I think this just ended our season.
Everyone up front is completely fucking useless.
Told you.
>there were ""people"" in the social media feed who claimed he wasn't a good signing
>>74908751
£25m I think, was on a forgettable central defender regen in fm10
started with an incredibly small database and by 2022 or so he was the only CL-quality CB left that any club was willing to sell for any price
>And did he end up being worth the fee?
I guess, sort of. in a normal save he'd have gone for about 10m but I didn't have much of a choice
>>74908751
45M, brought a young lad back home.
>>74908751
~£15m
He would've been worth £50, single handedly kept me in the Bundes.
So what's a good ppm to go alongside curls ball? I want to turn this brave young lad into a machine.

But it's been so long since I've actually played a save with money to spend, usually I get bored of the save before then
>>74911406
create a new save, see where that goes and stick all your old saves in that one if it isn't the same one.
Assuming by "can't find the foler" you mean the save folder. Otherwise no idea, maybe try reinstall.
>>74911416
No I mean it won't default to "E:\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017", instead defaulting back to the Sports Interactive folder on my main PC, I checked by "loading" a save and checking the file it was lucking in. I want to use the E drive as I have a fuckload of graphics and shit and can't be arsed moving it all over
>>74911426

The league is 16th in rep rating and 15th in coefficient rating.
I've been to the group stages for around a decade and I haven't had any groups be this challenging, much less two of this difficulty back to back. It's just extremely bad luck I suppose
>>74913603

No, I've been to the knockouts multiple times. I was just saying that for about a decade of qualifying for the group stages I've never seen draws this bad

>>74915572
It changes nothing. Actually it's kinda worse: they're still fairly shit, and once you topple them you cut their CL shekel supply and they invariably flop as a result. For saves after saves of managing in Slovenia (or "Mariborwinslol"), I've never been bothered by them past the first or first two seasons.
"Xwinslol" is harder in more reputable leagues with more money and rep, where the club is a legit European club with quality players and staff. Like PSG or Juventus. These two clubs can spend years cockblocking you. But in small leagues? Please.
