What happens when you mail it in against us at Anfield

Ugh, I basically ran through the same scenario (missed winning the league and auto-promotion), then had to play into the promotion playoffs, but instead of my team exploding, they lost 2-1 over the two legs... so again I'm in A. Hmmph.

I would reload the save until you win, since you actually won the first time. It's not your fault the game crashed, and you shouldn't be penalized for that.

Agree 100% reload it

I don't even know what tiebreakers allowed me to win this group, but...whew.





The reward for winning the group was drawing Barcelona. Wonderful.

Finally picked up 15(I skipped 14). It's definitely different and going to take some time to get used to.

Meh, I've already overwritten the save. It's not a big deal. Hopefully we can win the league this year or perform well in the Beaver Bowl (the Oregon-based cup in the data). Every year we've gotten matched up with Gresham who's demolished us. I mean, we're not going to be beating Portland in the final, but hopefully we'll get to the final.

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

Guys, I plan on getting this game so quick question (hope this doesn't bother y'all): with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000, an i3 and 4GB RAM, can I run a league with a deep pyramid (like that of the US)? And does the MLS include drafts and salary caps (even if that'd be a mod)?
Please don't just say "you need a better PC", because down here in South America that crap is damn expensive...
Thanks!

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

Uhh... You can probably run a league with a deep pyramid with no issues, but you won't be able to load many other leagues alongside of it?

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. That's just my best guess.

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

With 1 game left, I was in 3rd place behind Perugia and Empoli who both 1 more point. They both played terrible teams so I thought I would just finish 3rd and have to try to get promoted going through the playoffs once again. But Empoli tied with Benevento and Perugia lost to Spezia. 6 long years in Serie B, finally promoted. Hopefully the board gives me a new stadium.



We shattered the record for most goals in the league in just 42 games. Empoli had 106 goals in 45 games couple years ago, which they broke as well. Both of my strikers had an amazing year.

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

So, I started on that US pyramid (down to the AAA league, because no way would my computer be able to handle down to the lowest), and it definitely is different than handling a premier league team, or even a lower league england team. Talent is basically non-existent, so its kind of a fun challenge down here.

I run the US Pyramid with 0 problems on a worse processor, though it is always better the fewer amount of leagues you run. MLS on the original database contains those things. I haven't gotten very far in the US Pyramid save(I hate some of the changes so I've started working on my own like I did in 2013) so I don't know if it's in that if that's what you're interested in running.

Great responses; thanks!

My dream first season continues! Arsenal should hire me after the beatdown my rag tag team of Championship players and young prospects took the likes of Mertesacker, Welbeck, and Giroud to school

Wow

I open up the season against them, lucky me!
