How is FM 2017? I haven't gotten FM since 15. I hate the regen faces, but some of the new screens look nice. Is it still possible for 16 to be purchased?
>>77085021
17's way better than 1t6
>>77085021
Torrent 17 and see how it feels. If I were you though, I'd just stick to 15.
>>77085021
16 was a big pile of shite. 17 definitely better but opinion split on if its any better than 15.
Just play the demo and decide for yourself if its worth buying.

Is it normal for players to be asking for a new contract when they still have 2 and half years left on their old one?
I can't be bothered with that shit desu
>>77088263
wouldn't you ask for a raise if you had been working at a company for a few years since signing the last contract?
>>77088299
They all have yearly wage rises in their contracts.
12 months max with a possible extension in january is what i'm used to.
>>77088263
If they do well then yeah
My lad signed a contract at the start of the save then asked for a new one come summer because he was unexpectedly playing a key role as a 16 year old
Went from £35 p/w/ to £45 lol

Yes they do because why not? Why wouldn't they?
Just tell them that they have too much time on their contract left, or lie to them and say that your club cannot afford it. Rent seeking is everywhere, don't fall for it.
>>77088362
>They all have yearly wage rises in their contracts.
Don't fucking do this dude, this is probably the beginner's trap/pitfall of the game and I'm not sure why SI find that it's okay that non-savvy players get super fucked because of these clauses. 5% a year at most if they're super into getting a yearly raise.

Hello, what is an international break?
wtf
Now i want a real player with that attribute distribution
Nope
I want compensation now
What happened to the guy playing as Juventus but couldn't win a CL? Don't tell me the madman had finally done it.
>tfw looking for qts in female Japanese teams
>tfw they are all ugly
The GK literally looks like a guy.
So...
Are there regens or newgens or both and how does that whole thing work?
I probably don't have to, but a quick rundown:
Newgens have their attributes distributed randomly (or at least according to a pattern, how does that work?), regens are based on a retiring player.
>>77091022
>English... anything
>>77091022
Regens don't really exist, everyone just calls newgens regens
Boys I just won the goddamn Portuguese League with the team that was scheduled to be 4th (Braga). This is my 2nd year on command of the team and this was a stellar year.
Here comes the issue though, like 5 or 6 of my favorite players are asking for a contract renewal which is fine seeing as how they played pretty well. Things is they literally want quadruple what they earn (like from 9k p/w to 35k p/w+).
How do I deal with this? Is it even manageable? Should I just sell them and try to salvage good replacements for them? Because it seems like I cant sell them even for the value they are priced at for some goddamn reason.
>>77091022
Regens is a carryover term from when newly generated players were entirely based on retiring players.
Newly generated players are given attributes based on position, nationality, generated pa, relevant staff, with a good amount of random thrown in. The term regen is still used.
>>77091583
I'm in the same boat as you just now, it's due to your increase in reputation. Unfortunately any new players that you try to sign will also likely ask for big wages.
Just sit tight and wait for those champions league monies
>>77091583
I'm gonna need a higher wage to advise you on this.
>>77091583
If they have a reasonable amount of time left on their contract, you can often just tell them so and they usually accept that. Remember, no matter how much you like the player, it's their cunty agent you'll be negotiating with.
>>77091670
>>77092339
Yea I'm stuck in quite the pickle, I've been looking at my shortlist, I think I can manage to sell them off and buy replacements that have like half a star below them but better potential so I'll be doing that
>>77091913
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>77091583
Actually I have a follow up question to this, One of the players in said situation have been offered a loan offer. Is it possible for them to change their minds if they stay a season somewhere else?
>>77092364
>REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Don't forget his loyalty fee.
>that age
>that hair
JUST
>>77091022
It's all newgens nowadays, but the amount of newgens is roughly the same amount as the retirees to keep the number of players at the same level.
People just call them regens because of the past. Calling them newgens kind of makes you a tryhard hipster
>>77091583
What are your manager attributes? If you generally have good mental attributes, you can simply reject them. They'll sulk for 2 months at most and be unhappy for that while but after that they'll get over it. Otherwise, you can tell them that your club cannot afford it/that they still have a long time on their contract.
If they're on their last year of their contract and want a raise then you might be shit out of luck and just have to sell. Otherwise I always let them sulk. Even if I have garbage attributes, I'd rather have a sissy bitch player in my squad for dirt cheap than a happy player for too much money.

Scotland has a bunch of female physios for some reason.
I'm messing around with the DB Editor, and I have a question about reputation.
What's the difference between "Current", "Home", and "World"?

>>77104921
i think it works but it might just be placebo desu
makes all the animations go 100x faster which kinda feels like it's speeding up the game

>>77104986
It was definitely faster on 16. I did some holidaying while testing for Macca's db and it cut the time I needed to holiday 10 years into the future in half.
But I'm not sure I'd use it outside of holidaying for long periods unless you think FM is running stupidly slowly for you and even then I can't imagine it'd work terribly well and probably it'd be really bad for your processor.

>>77106174
idk tomorrow maybe
>>77106214
o-okay
>>77106173
Did you try a tactic with fullbacks? Also, didn't the sliders disappear in FM13 or 14?
>>77106288
Last version with them was 12 I think
>>77106173
Cross to the back post. Lots.
>tfw Icardi scored 45 league goals
>tfw most of them were from less than 6 yards out
>>77106288
I can't individually adjust my player's mentality and can't get him to take up the space i want him to unless he is given instructions that i don't want to give him.
For example i want my fullback to be aggressive and push forward for crosses. If i give him support duty he doesnt nove forward into obvious open space and if i give him attack i can't uncheck 'makes forward runs often' which means he just pushes up stupidly 100% of the time, doesnt help the midfield with possession and leaves a huge gap for the opponent winger when we inevitably lose the ball where he should have been
I've got players complaining about squad bloat but i fail to see the problem here
>>77106288
>>77106333
There were sliders in 13, 14, and 15 if you knew where to access them. Not so in 16

Shit, I can normally do a season in a day. But England just makes you play so many fucking matches compared to Italy. and Europa has an extra round compared to their CL counterpart. Why is there two league cups man? Now I remember why I wanted to go anywhere but England. England is not comfy. Even Copa Del Rey's two legs every round is more comfy.

Reloading and using more managers are the only "direct" ways of getting the actual result you're looking for. FMRTE/Genie Scout/In-game editor help you find good players to make winning really easy, but you can still lose a CL-final with good players (unlike when you reload, you can just do it until you win).
Looking up the PA of real players is not that bad because real players become irrelevant really fast, and they're pretty irrelevant to most people's saves (I mean, how are you going to cash in on the fact that Dembele is a -10 talent unless youre Real/Barca/Utd? nobody plays those saves).
Using downloaded tactics is perhaps the most shameful of them all, because you literally admit to yourself and the world that youre too fucking dumb to get a basic formation working, and letting other people play the game for you. Not cheating though - in real life, managers copy tactics all the time too. Its fair game.
>>77113485
Alright.
Unrelated, but it also bothers me how 98% of wide players are wingers, so you have to spend a whole season teaching them how to to be IFs, if you're into that sort of thing, obviously.
>>77113639
don't use IF's man use raumdeuters
ask Art
>>77113659
I have done, they're pretty good, but IFs are a bit more... freewheeling..
>>77113731
according to art IFs are just retarded always-cut-inside morons who will never actually assess the situation and do what is more intelligent at the time
same with wingers only they always stay outside and try to dribble past 9 men
What role is the best to use behind two strikers on the AMC position?
I use a raumdeuter, much better than IF for me... then it's a CMa on the other side of the pitch, it's a nice tactic.
Just downloaded genie btw, only Messi on 200 yet, after two seasons... no real cuties neither, feels kind of cheap and like I destroyed the save
>>77114028
Depends on all the other roles obv, and on tactics as a whole. In my system I find that the vanilla AM works better than the AP at least.. And I have him on support rather than attack.

Always depends. But PA is no guarantee the player will become GOAT. If he's a shithead (Balotelli) or a wino (Rooney) he won't fulfil it. If he lives in the middle of nowhere and never gets spotted until he's 21 because he lives in places you won't usually scout (Central Asia for instance where there's literally nothing), he won't fulfil it. Albeit rare, severe injuries can also lower a player's PA. The only thing is that I find that players with great potential more often than not have good personalities.
>>77115403
>Albeit rare, severe injuries can also lower a player's PA.
I'm curious, do you mean that they just don't ever reach their potential or do you mean the PA number goes down? I thought PA stayed constant regardless of whether their CA would ever reach it
How common are the "off field events" in fm17?

>Arsenal keep bidding 50 million for Barkley

I'd say yes if it wasn't for the fact that I only have 40% of player sales available as transfer budget. And I don't think I can find a decent replacement for only about 22-ish million.

>>77119455
No work permits. You got a real soft brexit there.
>>77119512
thats beyond soft. its like i got a better deal. maybe Leave.EU was right all along

An AP needs Passing, Technique, Vision first and foremost imo. the player is equally shit for all positions so it does not matter.

I've been doing transfers and pre-season THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON, its been almost 6 hours
I'M STILL NOT THROUGH THE THOUSANDS OF FRIENDLIES FOR CUP AND TURKEY U23s
WHEN WILL THIS FUCKING HELL END; END MY LIFE

You can't play david silva centrally very well
>>77119622
When the season begins. Next time make it even more fun: use this and sim for a decade.

This is bait however I will still reprimand (You)

plesae
>>77120785
>>77120874
That's why I use instant result for friendlies.
>>77120874
So much this.
It doesn't even take a long time or any thought, I'll gladly play people out of position, stick the match speed up to max and fuck off to the toilet or for a smoke, come back and switch all 11 at half time and get rekt 5-0, I just want to build up fitness and match sharpness which moronic AI is incapable of doing.
>>77120926
Which means you aren't managing your subs which means you are leaving the match in charge of your assman which means you're still holidaying which means you're not doing anything but what they're doing.
>>77120926
That... does not help.
>>77120926
>>77120976
I prematurely posted. What I wanted to say is that it does not help because doesn't that mean that either no subs happen or that your assman does your subs, which fucks you all the same?
>>77120926
You just put key/text only and rotate at half time.
>>77120926
>>77120976
I prematurely posted. What I wanted to say is that it does not help because doesn't that mean that either no subs happen or that your assman does your subs, which fucks you all the same?
>>77120973
Fucking this. When can I tell my assman to play 11 players in one half and the other 11 in the other half. I dont even care where they play, I like to play my GK as a striker for a laugh so that he can get a goal.
>>77120973
>>77120986
It allows you to pick starting 11 which is all I need since I just have different starters each match.
>>77121070
>Playing unfit guys for 90 mins
I bet you also bitch about the amount of injuries you suffer in preseason don't you?
I bet you casuals don't even manage your under 21's & 19's
DISGUSTING
>>77121105
I bet half of you honestly let them play different formations

>>77121090
Yes I do.
tfw considering quitting save because I'm bored of the tactics even though I could probably just change them
>>77121534
Post boring tactics.
use 2 raumdeuters senpai
>>77121661
It's just 3 at the back that I'm bored with
But if I don't use that I have to use wingers and those have boring roles and I have to use less AMCs who have fun roles
>>77121722
a 4-1-2-1-2 works out pretty delighfully although it's basically a 5-3-2 with less defensive stability
>>77121722
also you can try a 4-2-2-2 if you're a brazilian madman, heard it works too
>>77119682
Does he actually play poorly, or does it just give him a crappy look star rating?
>tfw your left wing back decides to score 4 goals
>>77121916
>playing as monaco
>>77121931
Good pun.
>>77121916
>his left back isn't inverted right wing back
Could've had 5.
Would making Hull good be remotely challenging for the first 5 or so seasons of the save?
I want to play a save where I can sign people immediately and face an actual tough top of the league
