FM 2015 - Who will you start off with?

[JorshRod]

I usually run two games each year, an unemployed small start they I go with all year, and a Liverpool/England game that I restart several times, usually going 4-10 seasons each.

I've always done my small starts outside England, but I think I may start with a conference team this year, I'll be looking for one with aspirations, so good sized ground and decent facilities, any suggestions?

You could try to get Bristol Rovers back into the Football League. They have over 10,000 capacity in their stadium, and as a bonus you get to look at one of the best club crests in all of England.

How do you guys go so many seasons in? I play 100+ hours each save and only end up like 4 season in haha.

Anyways, now that I am starting to casually watch the Premier league, I have decided to be an Aston Villa supporter and will try to turn their team around. Most years I start in the Sky Bet league and work my way up, so this will be a nice change of pace from the usual.

I got through 3 seasons when putting in 100+ hours in the past. I've never gotten farther than that.

Of course I didn't know until last week you could advance through news items by clicking on the spacebar so all that clicking took me some time.

I always space bar. I think the farthest I have ever gotten in FM was in 13, where I started off in the MLS, then moved onto a serie B team, brought them up to Serie A and won a few titles with them. Played like 7 seasons, I think? I put in 195 hours on that one though.

I'm even worse - I do real-time managing, going day by day. I'm just in October of my second season with Ajax on FM14

I'll likely keep that going even after buying FM15, but in 15 I likely will do the same.

If starting unemployed, how is your coaching self rated?

How long is the wait, typically?

For the most realism, am I best to start with the default database, or is there one that starts with 2015?

[Mike Lowe]

To elaborate: I know there's an updated database, but the game still starts in like Jan 14.
