From SI, patch 15.2.1. now in effect:

"To download the update, simply save your current game, quit FM, then close and restart Steam. Then launch the game as normal and this should start your update automatically. As always the update is save game compatible but for any competition issues, you'd have to start a new game for them to take effect.

The update includes but is not limited to fixes for the following issues:

GRAPHICS
- All custom .fmf files can now be distributed via Steam Workshop
- Fixed 3D kits not displaying in the match viewer

USER INTERFACE
- Fixed various light skin issues in the match screen
- Fixed player duty not being listed on Make Quick Sub dialog
- Fixed rare cases of inbox failing to update properly
- Fixed 'Take Screenshot' shortcut

COMPETITIONS
- Fixed rare instance of Belgian league fixtures not being scheduled
- Fixed rare instance of Copa Libertadores not being scheduled
- Fixed ability to fine players multiple times
- Fixed cases of players not travelling for international games

IN-GAME EDITOR
- Fixed 'Edit Club Contract' check boxes

The match engine is unchanged and still the same version as was included in Update 15.2.0."

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

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

So FM Arsenal decided to play like the real Arsenal.

So I reached the Tim Cup Final by beating league leaders Fiorentina 5-2 on aggregate.

Screenshot number two is the league table right around the midway point of the season. I sit 6 points behind Fiorentina. Catching them will be tough, as they have only conceded 13 goals so far. The board, if you'll recall from an earlier post of mine, wanted a Europa finish, so I'm on pace to do better, which will hopefully delight them.

Finally, Javier Hernandez has 33 goals in 33 apps for me on Feb 9. I have never had a striker score at this rate in FM. If he keeps this up, he had better win a ton of awards.

Avellino is not a good team:

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

Apparently with the new system, I just don't get along with boards. After securing Champion's League Football, I re-signed some key players, and went off to sign up some transfer-listed folks to make the second team better and the board blocked 3 of the 4 transfers, all were well within all budget requirements, and were some big needs. This time instead of pressuring the board through the press I decided to resign as an Atalanta Legend. The game won't recognize it as a resignation because of the board, but it sure is.

Now we'll see what happens.

Got a massive win over league leaders Fiorentina to pull to within one point:

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

And with 9 matches left in the season, I pull into the lead in Serie A. Fiorentina has an easy schedule though, so I might have to win out.

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

Two more fixtures of the season, and at least assured a spot in the promotion playoffs (which is tough, as I have to not only beat the other team in my league, but I have to beat the relegation candidate too). I'm Club Lents, behind Anchorage Malamutes by two points, but I've got a chance to make it up because I play them next.

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

4-4 draw against the Malamutes means I'll have to win and they'll have to lose to have a chance at the title and the automatic promotion. I'm not getting my hopes up.

[The GIGGAS]

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

And a second draw, this time 0-0, when Anchorage lost in front of us.

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

Somehow this happened and we're currently sitting 3rd. Our match with Juventus got rescheduled to late December, so I have another game against them next week.



Edit: City got relegated

Chocked away a CL spot

Chocked away a CL spot

Man, that sucks. Did your team morale just tank? That's been the cause of most of my FM losing streaks over the years.

That's a really hard closing schedule though. Fiorentina, Napoli, Roma, and Milan in your final 8 fixtures? Just brutal.

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

Here's the Serie A standings with 5 matches left.

I play: Milan (5), at Catania (17), Parma (14), at Palermo (15), and Sassuolo (8). I also have the Tim Cup Final against Juventus (3) in between the Parma and Palermo matches. And thanks to rescheduling, the Parma match is on a Wednesday, then the Juventus match is on Sunday, followed by the Palermo match on Wednesday, then the Sassuolo match is on Sunday. So yay, fixture congestion!

Fiorentian plays: Napoli (4), at Verona (11), Lazio (12), at Sampdoria (7), Juventus (3). They do not have a fixture congestion issure, nor a cup final to play in, but have the more difficult schedule overall.

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

I conceded a bad equalizer to Milan and was just praying that Fiorentina, who played later, would also drop points. Well:
