On the left side there are links to everything you'll need.

I just modded the ish out of my game thanks to that site. Metallic megapack logos, facepack for thousands of players, updated 2d and 3d kits, adboards, new skin and font. Looks like a whole new game!

Yup. And if you get 2015, don't delete the files when you uninstall 2014.

Just move the graphics folder, it will carry over. Then you can just go about updating the kits as they get released (plus any logo/facepack additions.)

I don't plan on getting 15, probably go every other year but it's great that I can just transfer them all over.

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

Decided to get back to my Stuttgarter Kickers save after a break from it. Switched up my 4-3-3 tactic a bit.

It's 2017, my first year in the Bundesliga. Didn't really expect this to happen, but man it felt good.

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

Well I got fired from Northern Ireland. 14% win ratio with 7 goals and 15 allowed.

For what it's worth, it gets more difficult the more years you go. I had a save where I had no senior player under 25, which must have been around 2020ish maybe.

How did the results go? I'm more interested than usual as I haven't touched Northern Ireland since the first few weeks of the game being released.

I'm dreading 2015, I've ported my graphics over from 12 to 13 to 14 and told myself that 2015 I'd finally download some new ones.

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

Finally finished ahead of either Real Madrid or Barcelona.


Woot!! 4-0 loss last year, 4-0 win this year for CL.


I was so happy when Spurs beat Real Madrid.

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

What would some good team instructions for Chelsea be? I am mainly running a 4-2-3-1 with 3 AM's and 2 CM's. I want to play a possession type game, with the ability to strike on deadly counter attacks. How would I go about doing this?

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

I'll need to check those out as well. I'm playing as Tottenham and use the same 4-2-3-1 Cardinals is using except we play attacking style (what the board wants) as well as stress possession.

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

So my first season in St Lucia is over and it's not been a particularly happy one for me. We just simply could not the put the ball in the back of the net often enough. I went for a bit more of a defensive approach than what I'm used to, but that is no excuse for the countless chances we didn't put away. We also participated in the Caribbean Club Championship, but that was also another disappointing competition. Though we did not shame ourselves, winning 1 of our 3 games, I felt we should have done better.

It was much the same for the national side, only playing two friendlies and losing both.

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

Hired as the US manager in 2017, made it to the quarters before losing badly to eventual champions Argentina (my game is the WC of getting over the hump, England won it in 2014). Now the U-20s just won the U-20 CONCACAF Championships after I decided to create my own tactics for the first time (didn't manage them though). Now I have the Gold Cup coming up and hopefully the U-20s can make some noise at the U-20 World Cup.

EDIT: And the U-20 draw puts us against England, Uruguay, and hosts Morocco.

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

I can't give any tips at all, but this exists as a fictional 9-tier pyramid. I've only played half a season of it (too busy being 13 years into my Sounders game, or 3 seasons into AIK), but it seems solid.

I know this was a bit ago, but I'm going to use this instead of my creation, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to figure out the editor enough to get much to work. Would there be much interest in a dynasty of a lower league team trying to make it all the way to the top level of USA football? Are there any good dynasties that I should read?

You get further than me with the editor.

Every time I start it up, all it does is flicker. I'd mess around with it quite a bit, but even doing a fresh install of it doesn't help that issue.

That sucks uber. I just decided to go away from creating my own structure, and use someone else's, while making sure that a few teams I possibly would like to play as or keep an eye on are in the save (edited in Lane United, moved a team from Blacksburg up to the bottom rung instead of inactive).
