I linked it in here after they announced but its clear you either need to be a creative genius or have had FM have some massive impact in your life (other than it just ensuring you live the NEET lifestyle)
Basically not worth wasting your time on unless you can fabricate a great story.

I'm out to prove that I'm a better manager than Bochum in all football related aspects by making Bochum great by my own hands. We already know i'm better at PES and Haxball. Now it's time for this. Here we go. First FM16 save. It's a noble cause.
>>63658428
tbf we already know you're a better FMer as well.
>>63658445
We made a deal that we'd manage eachothers local teams when FM16 came out. I'm just adding story desu.

Tie color ends up being your teams main color.

I mean I can understand real players not wanting to be called falsely homosexual or anything, but I don't see why it can't apply to regens since they're, uh, fake.

talk about how you flew from canada to iceland to watch Havnar Bóltfelag play a Champions League first qualifying round game against Lincoln Red Imps and they ended up winning 5-2 the second leg at home after drawing the first leg, and so you decided to go to the second round second leg against partizan and despite Havnar Bóltfelag losing 3-0 in the first leg you believed cause they scored first at home in the 35th minute... and they ended up losing 1-3.
all of these adventures because you played with them on fm and you fell in love with a club and the heart of their players.

what a beaut
Maybe I'm just blind and missed it, but how do you designate a playmaker in your tactics? It used to be an option in the tactical setup but with their obsession with radio buttons the option has disappeared. Or does it just look for a player in a "playmaking" type role in 16?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i've made a mistake

That's a rough group.
It would have been a miracle had you ended up in the top 2.
Also Bernando-sama and Depay are prime cheese in FM16.
>>63664137
It would be very hard to buy either unless you are bulking in cash, or like you apparently did, get lucky and see him on the transferlist.
>>63664153
I play as United :^)
>>63664187
oh my bad i thought you were the ajax poster a bit above
>>63664204
Yeah somehow my game bugged out and didn't let me activate his release clause for 30m so I had to go all out and spent 80m.
It's not like I really care though.
3 titles and promotions in a row here i come
tight as a nun's arse though
>>63664209

>still can't offer non-contract players more than back-up status
Do SI really hate LLM players enough to intentionally spite them?
>>63664988
lel, my bad

how's the engine at this point? No goal kick ricocheting off a defender's head for an own goal?

i didn't, they were just annoyed on that too
>>63665294
oh shit that's beautiful
now how do I put them in
>>63665526
Would you like him to play your save for you too?
>>63665416
i usually do medium+set individual player role + focus
never get complains and injuries are not bad
>>63665526
put them in one of your kit folders that has a config.xml inside
open said config.xml
add <record from="granit_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/[team id here]/kits/home"/> (and another slightly edited line for the away kit)
the team ID is 485663 on 16 but you should maybe use the 14 editor to double check
Well shit, the damage is already done guys. That guy I signed on a non-contract who gets £160 per-game really deserved a board meeting dedicated to him.
How could I be so blind?
has anybody seen an FM 2016 save where Bolton DIDN'T get relegated over and over
>>63665752
Do you expect different from the weakest team in the league in a financial shithouse?
>>63665752
Well they do have no money. Probably going to do a portsmouth
Is it just me or are the injuries longer this year? It seems like every one is a 3-5 weeker instead of just like 1 week or something
>>63665585
does player role training + focus work in LLM? I feel like it's a waste of effort. I pick one or the other
>>63665752

CWB(a)-CD(d)-CD(d)- CWB(a)

Control - flexible
>>63666945
Yes. I actually like the way you guys do FF but can't imagine it works well for football. Undeniably works great in handegg though.
>>63666973
yeah, both systems are good. the american system works for gridiron imo because they don't have the restrictions to substitutions that soccer does. that and with a 17 week season, you can be fairly confident that the good players will play every game they can, whereas it's not uncommon to see epl stars get rested every now and then
>tfw sacked if i don't win my next match
Anyone else suck at this FM? All my old tricks don't work and I can't defend against the counter to save my life.

Is roaming playmaker the new best role you can give a player?
>>63667245
does it still count as new? it was in 15. speaking of, what are the new roles 16 has brought?
>>63667183
Yeah, I'm extremely vulnerable at the counter as well, especially in the lower leagues. My defenders have literally no idea how to deal with crosses.
>>63667256
Thought it was new in 16, sorry

What the hell is up with "mistakes" in this. Every time I see a DC rated poorly I go into analysis and it's just missed interceptions. Then you watch the replays, and at worst it's like "maybe he could have done a bit more", but usually just a complete non-issue.
>>63667675
I don't think the engine is tied that much with match statistics when it comes to abstract things like "mistakes" and "missed opportunities" and such
>>63666765
never tried it. ramdeuter's are tactical liabilities. usually play a 4411
what is the best midfield role and why is it roaming playmaker?
>>63667183
I'm doing awful but playing with easily the worst team in the second Czech league, so I can't really be sure.
I want to play with two WBa/CWBa (probably the former) because those are the fucking GOAT roles. How do I get a solid defense at the same time? I found that having two CBs and a half back is not solid enough, usually you just defend with two men mainly because the HB is not dropping deep enough.
What about 3 CBs?
>>63667183
I'm the fucking GOAT in this FM. It's the same as FM15, if you fully figured out the ways to be truly good at FM15 then you'll be great at FM16 too.
Most of /trb/ probably already knows this stuff, but this is a decent discussion on stat weights per position.
>http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/381779-Current-ability-cost-of-of-attributes-position-breakdown
For those that don't want to read it, basically
>Determination is a free stat
>Flair is a free stat
>Natural Fitness is a free stat
>Rushing out & Tendency to Punch for GK is a free stat
>Weak Foot is the most expensive stat for Midfielders
>Accel and Pace are the most expensive for basically everyone but Midfielders.
>Bascially get "x" of each stat for free
>Multiple Positions >10 will rape your CA for every one after the 2nd
>CWBs are fucking ridiculous because their attacking stat weights are incredibly low
>>63667971
what does "free stat" mean? That it's not tied to CA?
>>63667971
>CWBs are fucking ridiculous because their attacking stat weights are incredibly low
how does attribute cost effect roles capability and performance at all
your tl;dr is fucking terrible
Any of you #Cheeky #Lads fancy posting Rodrigo Amaral at his peak, cheers.
>>63668028
Yes, it does not take up CA space.
>>63668171
well that's fucking retarded. I understand that certain stats are more important depending on position but Determination and Natural Fitness being free is a crime
>>63668054
What is it that you do not understand? It is very easy for a CWB to be good at both defense and offense because attacking stats do not "cost" it a lot of CA.
>>63668054
you're retarded :)
>>63668182
You can't really consistently train it thought
Sure you can get determination up by tutoring but it also raises/lowers hidden attributes of the two players involved
>>63667971
Can you train rushing out?
