Just for you brother.

Thanks buddy I'm starting a new Chelsea/Real Madrid save tonight with the regen database you provided. Hopefully, my regen will turn into someone half decent.

Everyone is playing 13 in the OS Group. I just don't know when I should switch.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Just a heads up. Some anti-virus software doesn't like the update. I use Avira, and it triggered. Simply ignore it, there is nothing malicious in there.

Also, the update will not finish if your anti-virus flagged it, you ignored it, but real-time protection is still on. Just turn it off while you're updating and it's good to go.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

My computer isn't the fastest, and I can really notice the processing performance improvements that they made in the patch. Well done, SI.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

It's so hard to keep goaltenders with my defensive system. It utilizes crowding the box and blocking shots, so a lot of times my keeper never needs to make saves, this leads to a lot of low morale keepers. I've nearly never had a keeper above 7.0 for form, mostly cap out around 6.9. Not sure if I should change up my system( I don't want to, I'm winning!) But I'd love to not have to buy a keeper every friggin transfer window

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Took over a team in Argentina. Get to looking at my transfer clauses and six of my first 11 have clauses where 100% of their transfer fees should I sell them goes to a 3rd party......

Guess I should offer them up for frees. That'll show that 3rd party.

And I love what I have read about the match engine updates. My wingers kept leaving my defense wide open down the flanks.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I managed to pull off a HUGE upset, winning 3-0 at Old Trafford vs ManU, but ManU may have won the war. I'm in League One, as Port Vale, so my starters are pretty good(1st in League One), but my depth is all youth players, and my youth system isn't exactly the greatest(SINCE MY BOARD WONT LET ME UPGRADE MY &$*(*@&($ FACILITIES), so what happens during the course of the game? My three stars(the three players ALL of the big boys want), all get injured during the game, no big deal, it's only for the game, we'll see the damage after the match...

3-4 Months



2-3 Months


2 Months

^%$#.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Sorry, it was 2-0, forgot the last goal got disallowed for whatever reason. Also, this is the League Cup, so I'm way farther than I should be(but I've been running my Starting XI ragged all season), but mother$&($ I'd rather take a straight loss on aggregate than lose my three best players for 2-4 months.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Aaaaaaaaaan we lose 3-1 after extra time to ManU, not bad for a League One squad, imagine if we were at full-strength....

Keepers rarely go above a 7 in FM regardless of what defense you run, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Norwich fired their coach, not sure who, and they approached me with the job. $11 million for a transfers and a 5 year contract. Not to mention, they have some honest to God actual TALENT on their team.

So yeah, **** you Cardiff. You are going down because you are cheap as hell. The only reason you are up is because of me, Kenny Miller and Rob Earnshaw just decided to rape the Championship.

Cardiff has 11 points and it's almost February. And I earned every single last point for that team. They haven't won or drawn in about 3 months, now.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Keepers at 7 is not bad. If they get 8's and stuff, it's likely because the other team is peppering you with shots - not necessarily a good thing
