eternal /trb/: butters go study edition

Decide to come back to trb and the thread's half-way down the catalog at 525 posts. You guys fall apart without an Asian flag to make your threads.

Let's make this thread alive then. How's save my chinese friend? And if you allow me to, let me ask: how's Renato Augusto?

tripfaggery killed /trb/ by turning the threads into their whatsapp group, to be perfectly honest

>>73862798
ok think about it

what would happen if all the tripfags suddenly left

>>73862798
What killed /trb/ was the leave of Kenyabro, most of Argies, butters (he didn't leave, but doesn't post as much) and some other tripfags such as MF (as annoying he could be at times he would at least have some semi-interesting topics) imo.
Most of tripfags these days don't post 1/5 of what the oldfag tripfags used to. No offense, they are still nice people, but still. Except Mitch. You can't stop posting, can't you Mitch?

Don't get complacent.

>>73862769
I have a month holiday between ending studies and starting work for the new year, so I want to tribble a bit.

I don't know shit about the Chinese league tbqh. Watched one game in the stadium, which is in my district, between Hangzhou (my local team, starring a 47 year old Tim Cahill) and Guangzhou Evergrande. Was looking forward to watching more league games this year, then my team got fugging relegated. I will watch more anyway.

>>73862798
/trb/ is tripfaggotry.

>>73862835
never

>>73862851
i mean if they're that insufferable just filter them and enjoy your totally empty /trb/ threads where the one britanon posts links to interesting articles he finds and people occasionally post "bets" along with a picture of their WACKY world cup draws from the future

>>73862818
we'd have good threads for once.

mitch out.

Has anyone ever had a team that's shit at home but amazing away?

I have no idea what's causing this

>>73862890
good threads with 3 posts per day

if you really want me to stop posting i'll take off my name and start using proper grammar and sentence structure and start being a massive cunt to everyone, that way i'll become one of the other 4 britanons that frequent this place :^)

that'll surely revive /trb/

ON TRIPFAGS, AND THE WORLD

There's one thing and one thing only that we could do to immensely improve /trb/, instantly, overnight, and that's facilitate more posts about the lives of tripfags. Create them, nurture the ones that exist, guide the "discussions", and make sure they stay on track. If we're here to discuss fm, ultimately, we are here to discuss the life of tripfags. There is no way for a person to grasp the full implications of /trb/ and not realize this. We're talking about the most autistic people who ever lived. You must realize this. It's not a joke anymore. We're seeing the world degenerate further and further into chaos, and we're standing by and watching it happen. You want to fix /trb/? You want to fix the world? You want to fix your life? You need only take one step: read tripfag posts. There is no substitute for hard work, and that's what the tripfags require of you if you are to understand them. If you are to understand not just them, but the world. We're not talking about fifa, reddit, all that nonsense. We're talking about saving our lives. We're talking about meditating on God. We're talking about communing with the primary presence. This is not an issue to be treated lightly.

hi mango

>>73862957
why man, and how.

>>73862987
the french guy isn't a tripfag though, is he?

>>73862798
You got it wrong, kiddo. Some tripfags actually had a whatsapp group, literally. /trb/ is more like a discord channel.
Also sometimes trips are good to use. For example I pressed mitch to use his trip because his identity is relevant.
I started using my name because there was another spanish guy posting when I started posting here.
Also what >>73862862 said. Trips are part of the /trb/ culture.

>>73862987
>The american fe/male /mu/ poster that died?

Not our regular autistic obsessive frog, the other one (who has literally posted like 3 times). But yeah, he used a trip.

Quite good. Had a shit 2017, started the year good, but not as good as I wanted. I do have plans to stop being a lazy cunt by doing stuff like going to the gym and stop fucking playing FM as much. So in general good.

>>73862957
>Only 2 goals of difference from 7-1 and not really as shameful

The feels.

>>73863088
I mean, I can only speculate, but he hasn't posted in several months and one of his last posts was talking about having been diagnosed with some kind of cancer.

>>73862963
i'm not saying i don't, it's just there's very little content here that isn't that kind of thing

or someone posting the 900th screenshot of their save in 2564 when they lose to le tiny team from inner mongolia

or someone posting the 9000th screenshot of them losing 1-0 with the match stats showing they had 94 clear cut chances

/trb/ is repetitive nowadays and probably was before nowadays too, i've only been here for just over a year and i'm pretty sure i've seen most of the original content that i'm ever going to no matter how long i stay

>>73863061
Regular autistic obsessive frog is a pretty good poster to be desu. And that comes from a guy that hates French people.

>>73863088
well he was a ghost
>>73863096
the trip drama is what keeps /trb/ spicy, most of the actual FM content hasn't changed that much over the years
just that people went from uploading FM highlights to youtube to uploading gifs and then to uploading webms

>>73863096
You need to pick a poster and become autistically obsessed with one of their reasons for absolutely no good reason.

It worked for the rest of us with Mitch for quite a while anyway.

>>73863096
That is why trips are so important, since they manage to transform normal FM conversations into non-related shit or manage to actually make memes. Or they just throw random not FM related stuff in the thread and people reply, making the thread alive again. That's why the thread being alive depends on tripfags not because they use a trip, but simply because no one is quite as autistic to speak of the stuff they do.

>>73863088
>I do have plans to stop being a lazy cunt by doing stuff like going to the gym and stop fucking playing FM as much

good luck, /trb/ will always be here for you.

and i will encourage you to improve when i am about.

>>73863186
a lot of this is to do with the fact that you can build up a solid idea of the characters behind the trip

if a random britanon posted the daisy story without names then 6 months later told another story about how he broke his foot chasing after his girlfriend it wouldn't have been 1/10th as funny as when i did it

if morzi wasn't such a massive bully the sister sniffing thing wouldn't be half as hilarious (although the lithuanian flag would make it a little easier to guess who he was if he posted)

if the irish guy who got bummed in freshers week didn't use a trip (sorry forgotten their name), the fact that he named his kid Archie wouldn't be anywhere near as good either

tripfag memery is a HUGE part of why people come to /trb/ imo, this place wouldn't be anywhere near as interesting without trips

>>73863277
>massive bully

>when i did it

>trips on existential pooicide watch

good.

What's the point to the team talk system? You don't have full freedom, it's somewhat limited by the score and you don't have all the choices at the same time, and then again, you only need calm, aggressive and passionate, and only like two or three options underneath those.
Seriously, what's the point?

>>73863277
>he named his kid Archie

>>73863341
agree with >>73863362, next time you're 3-0 down against the team in 20th at half time, don't use any team talk and see how you do man!

you're right in that it's limited but they'd need to do significant work on it for it to be improved much and we all know there are more important things to improve

>>73863341
you literally only need aggressive unless you absolutely thrash someone

>>73863341

morale is fuckhuge important in 17, kind of the reason they're more necessary now than ever in FM.

>>73863546
jair is good.


it's when you have to skip past 20 replies of tripfags having a conversation with each other about utter nonsense that they get annoying.

>>73863553
jair memes weren't that bad, and well, the UTV shitposting is just nostalgia for the first threads I read

>>73863586
Jair memes spawned Lynk.
Enjoying or having fond memories of anything related to UTV is a bit questionable.

does anyone have the screenshot about /trb/ discussing what "listened passionately" means?

>>73863580
>it's when you have to skip past 20 replies of tripfags having a conversation with each other about utter nonsense that they get annoying.
Have you ever tried maybe entering the conversation and not being literally autistic? Because I haven't a conversation that was way too personal to enter in for a long time. Well, there aren't many conversations here anyway because most threads are always dead.

>>73863643
Must've not seen Marq's posts.

IT. IS. IN. THE. BAG.

But R. Augusto was indeed an overrated piece of shit that can barely pass decently. Props on him for becoming a 'leader', though. That's what earned him the spot in the NT. Everyone else is better than him but is also a spineless mute cunt.

>>73863856
lad, it's the player's attributes that dictate that.

if he has poor decisions but can tackle, limited defender
if he can pass and has fine decisions, bpd
if he can tackle but isn't that agile, stopper
if he's fine overall, set him to defend.

I'm probably inaccurate but the core idea is right.

>>73863970
>But R. Augusto was indeed an overrated piece of shit that can barely pass decently
That is true yea. He was quite overrated. I just asked for him because there aren't really many other good players from Corinthians who left for China since Jadson was shit/ may return to Brazil and Gil was good, but eh. One player that was quite underrated was Vagner Love imo. 3rd or 2nd on the goalscoring charts and was called useless most of the campaign.

>>73863970
>Everyone else is better than him but is also a spineless mute cunt.
Probably the only reason R. Augusto was the ''''''''''''''leader''''''''''''''''' on the Olympic NT, because no one has the wish to be minimaly involved wit the NT and would rather spend the week taking selfies and talking with their friends on the phone. And hence why the 7-1.

To see it so dilapidated and self-loathing is just sad.

the guy on the right constantly cuts off the guy on the left and i feel like the guy on the left is the better player so it's incredibly frustrating

i watched the videos on scouting, coaches and training and they make a lot of sense but i know they're wrong about some things (like data analysts needing certain attributes, i'm pretty sure SI have come out and said that attributes make no difference for them)

they say that their opinions are, well, just opinions, and keep reinforcing the idea that the best way to get better at FM is to talk to people and see what other people's experiences have been, which i agree with partially but really i doubt there's any better way to improve than just to play the fuckin game more (perhaps instead of spending 5 hours watching 2 greek dudes talk about it)

It's a fucking 3-2-2-1-2 that used two fullbacks, so offensivelly it was a 4-1-2-1-2 and defensively it was a 5-2-1-2. Could go really bad or really nice. Considering my ability in using ''3'' in the back formations it will probably go real bad, but the team is shite anyway. I am so mad with the Evandro purchase that I don't even care.

>>73867335
so THIS is the tactic that someone once used in a final? i honestly thought it was a 3 cb formation when you described it there but that looks retarded as fuck man

>>73867326
The typical reasoning most people give when altering youth ratings is that X country has a higher rating than Y country which shows a basic misunderstanding of the fact that it is far more than just youth rating that impacts the quality of youth produced by a country so there may be a perfectly good reason why some countries have a higher youth rating than others that you would consider superior and ultimately the lower rated country may still produce more quality youth prospects.
I'm not saying this is the case with Kem mind you, I don't know his reasoning and I'm of the mindset that people can do what they want on a save to make it fun for themselves as long as they don't brag about their achievements as if they mean the same as those that play on a vanilla db.

Well, just discovered that it was really a 3-4-1-2. But Cannavaro was playing in the middle in the UEFA Cup final and Thuram and Lassissi were playing really high up the pitch for defenders and Cannavaro and one of the two DMs was quite near the defensive line. (This is the 1999 Supercoppa Italia starting eleven)
By the way this is going I am not really into 3-4-1-2 anymore and I think I'll just swtich back to my 4-1-2-1-2 meme narrow magic formation.

>>73867679
>kek did he fuck your nan or something
Nah I just think he's wicked overrated by SI.

>do either of those changes actually affect your save enough for them to be worth it?
Well I have no idea about Pulisic desu. But I know that Hertha was relegated in the first season, and Brooks was purchased by Schalke for 11m following that. So I can't say as if it has had no effect, but I can't swear to it either.

>does this make a noticeable difference?
No idea, I've only been following myself, and my occasional news items about Munster, Bryan Ruiz, and John Brooks.
Also, I don't believe I added it to Mou, only increased it from 15 to 20.

>>73867747
After seeing Brooks and Pulisic play for the nt live, and appear as if the only ones who hadn't completely given up on Klinsmann as manager, I felt inclined to give them determination boosts. Most of our older players seemed to be content losing every game as long as Klinsmann was eventually pushed out.

I split my Munster save at one point and began managing Spain, Asensio dominated everything. In honor of this I gave him a fixed PA.

>>73867801
what difference does it make that it's fixed?

>>73867769
thanks man, it was really fucking difficult

>>73867850
By default it is at -9, so upon creating a new game he would have a PA randomly picked between 150 and 180.

>>73867801
I mean 196 PA is Messi level of GOATness, right? But do what you want lad, if you wanna change CR7 and watch 10 PA Tsunaldo missing every pass, go for it.

But why did you nerf every major European country and not Germany's rating? Is it lower than France/Spain/Italy by default?

>>73867501
Obviously youth ratings are meant to both replicate real life quality of youth and keep the quality of players coming through a country fairly stable so that 20+ years into the future you won't generally see some a completely different world where suddenly Germany and Brazil for example are complete shit but shit tier nations have risen to be the best in the world, obviously they will fluctuate a bit but it stays pretty much the same unless SI have determined that some country, Iraq for example, have a very good youth setup and are investing heavily and may feasibly see themselves move up a bit in rankings in coming years.
The problem is that youth training facilities, youth coaching, first team coaching/training and basically anything else that you can ask your board to invest in will impact players development so its really only keeps world rankings pretty stable if you were to take over no teams and holiday and never manage a team.
Because all those things will have an influence it means that a very rich footballing nation like England can snap up 15 year old regens from anywhere in the country and give them the best development possible (from an AI perspective, obviously they still suck in comparison to a human player) virtually guaranteeing a high potential youth will turn into a star.
In the poorer nations the facilities will be awful, the coaching will be awful and if its say Ghana or Nigeria or some other non-EU nation they won't be able to be bought to be properly developed by a club in a richer nation until they are 18 so in order to combat the lack of quality coaching they have a higher youth rating than they perhaps "deserve" to level out the playing field.
Conversely you have rich nations who are shit at football like Qatar who will at least have the resources to build good training facilities or maybe even start with them (haven't checked desu) so they probably have a lower youth rating than they "deserve" to balance it out.

>>73867501
>>73867968
Also probably the amount of playable clubs in the db will play a factor so because England has ~150 playable clubs and shit tier nations might only have 30-40 that can play a factor because obviously every playable club in a loaded nation will produce a batch of regens every year so probably numbers are slightly balanced vs what they "should" be to account for that.

And now my 3-4-1-2 meme journey ends. What a shit formation.

>>73868235
To be honest, I've found that anything with over ~100 youth rating and a handful of clubs in large cities with good facilities can produce the 15 or so players needed to dominate on the international level.

So while Germany does have an advantage, it's more in the number of world class talents a manager has available 15 years in, as opposed to having them or not.

Yeah I've always felt that generally the number of world class talents is too high in fm, I mean look at the kind of meme players even the best national teams have to play with in real life.

But it's probably for dem kids so that they have an ebin world class player once in a while in their youth intake. Mike should make the >game less casual friendly, I also propose forced 2d matches for this reason. Graphics are shit anyways.

I haven't used it in a while since steam isn't awful quality and fm used to save in pngs which are obnoxious to open on 4chan

>>73868994
Frankly I use fms inbuilt one since it keeps them separate from other fm screens and other steam game screens, and names them in a more meaningful way than "steamappid date.jpg"

Just found out that I'm only allowed to sign 3 players in the May-August window

This club is doomed

>>73869486
Sell your goalkeeper and buy strikers.

>>73869565
Already resigned, totally should have though. Gray goalkeeper wasn't that much worse

>cunt whines about wanting to leave the club for the fucking serbian league
>has the balls to still celebrate with the team

At least APOEL really struggled against my stupid tactic

>>73869696
I feel like you're gonna go on and win the champions league or something

>>73869119
why?

>>73869749
I asked myself the same question and then resigned.

Whole affair really ruined my reputation too, so I guess I have to start a new save as well. Shame.

>>73869727
Nah, we got HJK next so maybe we can make groups but this team has no way of beating a good defence.

We can barely beat the top domestic teams and only won the title because everyone fucked up so badly 64 points from 36 games was enough

>mfw youngsters i forgot buying arrive and ive allready signed, better younger regens in their position

>>73869775
alternatively add a new manager.

>>73869890
I have a 5 foreign player limit. I used it all on regens I could free transfer in the first season.

Now they're turning up and worse than my academy kids so I don't think I can even sell them on.

>>73869918
Yeah I just figure if I'm going to start over might as well do it from the start.

Does anyone else get like bad save anxiety when trying to decide what to play? I feel like I need to start unemployed and it really messes with me

>>73869949
i have to have 9 homegrown players in my match squad.

>>73869950
I really struggle to chose a team to play.

>>73869973
Israel is 5 foreign players max in squad
And any unregistered players can be approached for a free transfer

5 years to gain nationality

>>73870079
Yeah, me too. I'm just going to be a self indulgent prick and play with Hertha Berlin. Figure deposing Dortmund and Buyern will be enough of a challenge, plus I haven't played had like any experience with continental matches in 17.

Oh yeah thats right I forgot you get off on John Brooks. Gonna make him a beast! Or lose him to Man City in January.

>>73870288
>Or lose him to Man City in January.
More likely to Schalke/Wolfsburg, and then to England.

>>73870240
He could've just played him offside

>>73870323
With his momentum and the distance between him and the 2nd attacker? No way.

The second he switches gears the through ball gets played and it's a goal.

>>73870323
Do you mean the first pass where both runners have 5 yards still to pass Brooks? Or before he goes to tackle, when both other players are still behind the ball?

I'm struggling to see an any way an attempt to play someone offside doesn't end, at best, in a 2 attacker vs. Guzan.

I wouldn't mind but the most beloved people outside of prefm ones are shit/short term players

It's not even the local born guys who have played here for years who are beloved

Why is the rating system so busted? I can put literally anyone in at wingback and they'll get a 7.5
