Are senior affiliates supposed to be nearly impossible to find? Currently in year 2020, I went from third division to winning the first division, but I can't seem to find one to save my fucking life. I have around 85k players loaded, if that matters.
I understand that when looking for a senior affiliate, you're basically looking for a club to give you money and free loans, but to not be able to find a single one in 4 or 5 years, despite the rise in reputation and my scouting knowledge, seems odd. Or is my board just fucking retarded?
Any suggestions for this tactic? I've been trying to play a fast paced football, but somehow it never works
>>77910830
Usually you get one from the first tier when in the lower tiers
Getting a senior affiliate from abroad is a much rarer thing

By fast I meant recovering the ball deep and launching fast counters.
>>77911279
I do, at least the widemen are quite fast for this level.
>>77911636
a post
damn
>>77911709
if you want to recover the ball deep i would suggest putting the 2 midfield players in the DM positions because that way they'll naturally start off much deeper
also would recommend taking close down more off and giving it to certain players as a PI instead because if you're closing down more as a team your back line will be pressing harder than a team generally expecting to win the ball deep would (i think)
>>77911771
It does make sense, no idea why i never thought of this before. Once i get home i will try it, thanks mate.

According to Wiki, 80+ percent of the people in the area speak a variation of Malay as their first language. In FM there are three cities in the area. The Area has no language set for some reason, neither do the other cities. I've been browsing the db and tried some changes. Putting Malay at 100 in the area while removing it from the city means that the regens only speak "good" Malay more often than not, sometimes Fluent, sometimes Basic.
I wonder why they can't just speak Thai to each other since they all understand it. Why do they have to learn Malay.

IRL, crosses always have been very low percentage. FM17 apparently has an even lower percentage than what happens IRL notably in reaction to FM16 where a couple of crosses would see you being elected "Man of the Match".
>>77918784
first match after posting this I get two cross assists lol. Wingers still work well but most of my goals created by them are either 5 yard passes or just them shooting
(although the other winger played 90 minutes without completing a single cross)

Lads this shit is driving me insane. I posted a thread or two ago that I can't drag and drop players anymore. I've deleted my saves. I've deleted the game, cleared the cache, reinstalled, I've installed different logo packs.
How the duck do I do it. The only way I can drag them is using their shirt number in the far left of the tactics screen or in match. I can't drag from the tactics screen to the bench, or names to the tactics. What do I do? I can't even go out and buy 18.

>>77924278
I know but cmon. 18 minutes. He's not even very aggressive and his tackling is good. In the past I've won the league by a nice margin by only playing murderball with 2 BWMs in the center. Murderball MUST be encouraged
>>77924287
Aggression is not Dirtiness nor Sportsmanship, both of which are hidden attributes. And being good at Tackling isn't nearly enough. And BWMs put an incredibly strong accent on those issues.
>>77924293
dirtiness isn't really hidden, it shows up on reports
>>77924307
Like Sportmanship can be reflected by personality. "Hidedn" means that you don't exactly know what the attribute is, not that it's completely buried.

>>77924354
>4K monitor
>RX580/R5 1600X
Lol no. Well unless you're planning to play Mincreaft and CS:GO at 4K, but in CS:GO's case you'd be better served by a monitor with a higher refresh rate.
>>77924382
Well I wouldn't mind having a R5 1600X instead, but that was released a good year after I bought my parts and I don't really need to change. I OC'd it to 4.5 Ghz.
>>77924385
I'm not going to play 4K games, I just want a great monitor for other stuff. I'll play upscaled until I can upgrade the internals
>>77924385
I haven't OC'd it yet, don't feel it is neccesary at this point.
>>77924394
That's pretty pointless. That's really a case where you could just WAIT™ for them to be affordable and having the internals to match. But who am I to judge anyway.
>>77924409
Shaves seconds off FM since it doesn't draw from the GPU at all except for few graphics and the 3D ME. Other than that, it's unnecessary indeed.
>>77924341
Do you have FM on your SSD? If so did it make it any faster than loading it from HDD?
>>77924447
I have FM on my SSD but my Documents folder on my HDD. FM doesn't draw on the potential of SSDs since it really loads everything once. So you shave a few seconds on startup and when you load saves. Someone tested it and the gains are really small.

Welp, there's no female manager of a male team in FM anymore; at least none of a pro male team. Corinne Diacre decided to manage the French Women NT. The previous manager was sacked after a fairly disappointing Euro where the team collected only one win, and during which he was criticized for dubious choices (and garbage thinking process too).

that's literally all old FMs are when you play as Arsenal.

This is my current intake's best prospect, he's supposed to be a fullback but he's absolute shit, can I retrain him as anything else?
>>77932416
He's not gonna make it. His dreadful Concentration, Positioning and Team Work basically prevent him from playing in any defensive role (nevermind that he can't jump). His tekkers and Vision are garbage for a midfield, and he's no striker either. He also need sot be tutored quite heavily.
>>77932482
>tfw your best prospect is DOA
It's not like I could even make him decent to sell him, I haven't sold (or bought) a single player since I started the save.
>>77932416
He's not any good for it but he could at least be usable as a a ball winning midfielder
he'll never make it anywhere else

Depends if you're planning to sit deep or harass the opposition. In the former case, anything that doesn't have glaring holes would work.
>>77934193
how would I go about avoiding these glaring holes?
FC Solaris it is

It means you don't sit back with a 4-4-2 Diamond because you'll have overlapping FBs and wingers tearing up your wings, that's what that meant.

>>77932482
>>77933127
I just came back and saw him again and I can't believe he's good at absolutely nothing. I can't see him in any position, and both his Positioning and Off The Ball are terrible, so I can't even see what role he could fit in.
Probably one of the worst regens I've had, made worse by his high PA.
>Go ape shit at my team at half time and on the touchline
>We get back into the game
>lol straight red for your best player
I know I should take the highlights with a grain of salt but the tackle he did was no worse than any other tackle from behind.
Every single game I've lost we've had a player sent off, the refs really have it in for me.
new tictac worging
>>77934728
>Had an excellent game today
>>77934698
It happens all the time, it's just that we don't pay attention to those players as they tend to have no potential. That one is particularly disappointing: good team/collective attributes with his Bravery, Work Rate and Team Work. However, being a turbo manlet he can't play as a CB, he has no tekkers, and I have no need for a DM that has no Vision since I almost always play a DLP(D) as my holding midfielder. I'll probably put him on DM training regardless.
>>77934747

the 3d animations are useless at simulating tackles desu, all the time I get asked about "controversial" penalties when the ball was in another stadium and players get red carded for being within 5 metres of the other lad, at least in 16 it's just not animated well enough yet to be taken seriously.
Also how do Brazilian tournaments work? This guy is about to overtake Fergie and he's only won 3 Serie A titles, like what even is a Minas state trophy, is it even important? How does he have so many points outside of Europe.
It feels undeserving he's going to overtake Fergie, he's only 55 so he definitely will do it. Can you get like an octuple every year in Brazil-when is the off season? IRL he would never be considered the GOAT for this record right?
>>77935511
he's won a bajillion copa libertadores, so that's worth something
fergie was a hack anyway tbqphwy
>>77935556
really bold post there
>>77935511
Brazil has state championships every season, from january to may, and it means absolute nothing. Just a waste of time to feed rivalries.
The state of Minas Gerais has 2 big teams (Atletico Mineiro and Cruzeiro) and they play this tournament against 4th and no division teams.
>>77935511
>Fergie
Shit manager. A product of right place in the right time.
>>77935556
I hate the bacon nosed twat but let's face it he won the premier league with some right trash players in the end.
At least Pep "I only move to tycoon-owned clubs" Guardiola won't be top, he's been sacked from 3 of his last 4 jobs and he still has 4.5* reputation.
>>77935511
>back to back libertadores wins in the modern era
last one was 2000 and 2001 with Boca, it's pretty impressive to have a quality team in South America for more than 2-3 years because all of your top players move to Europe.

That's a U, I guess you'll have to try again at a different club.
Will this fellow be better as a RB or a CB? I just joined the club so it's not my fault he can't dribble or cross. He's one of the club's brightest prospects according to the coaches though so I want to do him right, although I doubt I'll be at the club too long.

is the game designed to intentionally frustrate you?
We had a ton of league matches postponed due to EL and cups so we finished the league weeks after the other teams. We spent most of the season below mid-table and suddenly ended 3rd in the last match. Irish scheduling is whack.

>>77954880
2K Sports
EA Sports
Probably Riot Games

You already could do that in FM14
>>77947563
I rarely make decisions directly in the inbox, at all

Speaking of deadlines,
>tfw I won't have time to play FM for weeks or months because studies and deadlines. I should have stayed in my previous job.
Do you think it will be worth updating from FM 16 to 18? I want to get a new FM for new player potentials, updated leagues ect but it's just not worth forking out £35 for something that's barely different from FM 16, like I can watch an FM 17 lets play and there's practically no difference, at least with 16 and especially 15 there were genuine improvements to the game.
>>77954880
Think of any AAA publisher.
They already do.
>>77955409
You can download player potential updates albeit not done by a professional scouting team
>>77955561
Can I download the full FM 17 database (like league updates, player updates ect) for FM 16? Not starting a new save any time soon but if I don't buy FM 18 I will eventually.

>at least with 16 and especially 15 there were genuine improvements to the game.
except FM14 was the best FM ever with MAYBE the exception of 12
>>77955615
you can also just pirate 17
>>77955640
Yeah but the graphics are prettier
>>77955655
Heard it has loads of bugs.

>Heard it has loads of bugs.
the only bug for me that i know of is that the stadiums are always empty (no spectators). but i play 2d anyway so it doesnt really matter too much for me
>>77955701
Never seen anything like that I was just talking about user dbs
>>77955701

I have not found any bugs, although it's true that I haven't played more than a two seasons
>>77955816
>>77955701
I'm playing a pirated version of 17. Literally have not encountered a single issue in any of the (at least 10 at this point) saves that have went at least a decade.
>>77955755
Oh cool, I might do that then after my '16 save if the new one has no proper features, don't want to support a company ripping off its customers. Thanks German friend.
Someone make a new thread and I'll post three cuties
>>77955862
always happy to make sure the good wins. and i am increasingly convinced that piracy is at the core of the good. pirating stuff is, i think, a moral and political duty.
