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.
>>63657669
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.
>>63658565
it's not iceland it's feroe but whatever

>>63662120
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

if so can you show me your tactic? i never use these roles and i feel i'm neglecting them.
Sooo.. Is fm 16 worth buying?

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
>doesn't care whether he spends 30 million or 80 million
I don't know this feel.
>>63664262
That's because you're not a casual, HC.
>>63664262
£30M would put me into the red, let alone dreading what kind of affect it would have on my wage bill

I forgot how it felt.
THANKS FOR TRYING ON THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON YOU FAKKING NONCES
>>63664408
30m is a crazy good amount anyway, more than enough to build a team who should be finishing midtable
also just saw the SI official Gibraltar database addon

>>63664565
here's club info
I'm a huge huge adidas person.
sponsor? well, you can see the ticket prices they give despite the great product on the field...payment not reflecting value...gamestop?
>>63664579
I just ran the tictacs I love down everyone's throats until it worked. never became a euro giant though so maybe not the best person to ask.

>>63664698
>implying it's not the principle
I managed in '14, the first official SI database, and it had its flaws, namely that the european competition games started a week after I got back from holiday and I was always playing with lads at 45% condition
>>63658360
Fucking hell
>tfw you don't pay enough attention while offering a contract and he sneaks in a minimum fee release clause

>>63664923

>>63664923

>>63664952
is this good? this club has a weird ass badge
>>63664963
looks outstanding, the only thing is (I hate to be a pain) but I said gamestop, not spot--slight difference, but I think the gamestop logo would look better than the spot one. otherwise perfect
>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
will make the away kit now
>>63665069
you're the greatest
how's the engine at this point? No goal kick ricocheting off a defender's head for an own goal?
>>63665095
Still fucked up crosses flying in the goal way too often
Defenders actually tackle
Goalkeepers are better
Goalkeepers are worse
>>63665167
pfffffft
>>63665161
speaking about crosses, do they still do the "1 cross hitting the crossbar per match"
>>63665185
from a header? yes
just randomly? no. only in the lower leagues (and they actually fly in there)

>>63665416
why did you skip High?
>>63665430
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
Reminder that Neil Lennon failed to get his Bolton side to beat a non-league team managed by an 11 year old

Can someone remind me what the Balloon Door voting is based on? I don't see why Coman won.

>a faceinthegame won a balon d'or

>>63666400

>>63666460
Pretty disappointing desu. I was hoping Domont would win and cement his GOAT status.

That's the balloon door from the last year, 2027. The 2028 euros are about to kick off.
>>63666442
How did it go?
>>63665752
Nope, they've gone down to the conference now on my Weston-super-Mare save, and I managed to get a great youngster off them.

Essentially fantasy football but each player can only play for one team
>>63666925

>>63666895
>>63666925
Or just imagine every player is a free agent but still has a value and each team has an equal budget that it can't go over.
r8 my formation
r8 my formation
CF(s)-AF(a)
IF(a)
DLP(d)-BWM(s)-WM(a)
CWB(a)-CD(d)-CD(d)- CWB(a)
GK(d)
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

>already won the league

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?
>>63668183
it doesn't mean CWB are ridiculous, it means players that specialise in that role have great potential. he is attributing a specific role to attribute weight, not a specific role to how great a role is.
I understand attribute weight perfectly, as I said his tl;dr is fucking terrible

always play with my mate in LAN, same competition. probably gonna start in holland first. what are the killers tactics, cheap and effective buys this edition? plan on getting the game next tuesday. my mate is way more football minded than me. but i hate loosing to him. can u give me an edge? thanks

Training on a Sweeper Keeper focus seems to be the only way.
Determination is only from tutoring.
Rushing out only affects how often and when the GK will rush out, Accel and Pace actually determine if the GK will get to the ball in time.
>>63667934
Any hints for us peasants who suck?
My game is constantly crashing lads. Mozzy's prophecy about game integrity is comign through. On the plus side, Dou Xu didnt break his leg this time and will be wrapped in cotton wool until the CL final
>>63658114
Literally have the same thing, but I combine it with
>>63658169
so I can take advantage of timezones with foreign birds for a wanking empire that the sun never sets on. I actually feel really weird that Im such a deviant with regards to nudes but theyre class.
>>63668182
>but Determination and Natural Fitness being free is a crime
I disagree. You will find fit, hardworking players in lower leagues who would be completely shit in game if they cost much.
>>63668287
why should that matter? Certain players IRL are better than others no matter how much the latter train.
>>63668306
But you can train their attacking attributes, an area in which they contribute quite a bit, for comparatively little PA cost
Meaning you (can) get more player from a 160CA CWB than you get from a, let's say, 160CA CM
>>63668394
Rushing out isn't how well they are at rushing out? Always assumed it was tied to the Accel attribute like Command of Area/Aerial reach
I know fuck all about GK's apparently, neat
>>63668414
Use WBa or CWBa.
Dont use AMR/AML, avoid wingers in general.
Have at least 3 central, attacking players - 2 strikers and 1 AMF, 1 striker and 2 AMF or 1 striker and 3 AMF.
Use an RPM.
Close down more.
>>63668431
you can also find defenders with high tackling or strikers with high finishing who are complete shit as well
>>63668444
i think his point is that this is true for any wing back, not exclusively wing backs playing in a cwb role
>>63668445
>Use WBa or CWBa.
FB(A) are really great this year I have fond surprisingly.
>>63668433
I do agree with that (Ronaldos free kicks prime example) but honestly i quite like the concept of moulding a player into a more Determined specimen, kind of makes it seems as if the player is maturing
>>63668461
But CWB's contribute more than regular WB's in the attacking phase
>>63668544
yeah, of course. i figure the brit is just getting hung up on semantics

post table
>>63668664
from a point of view of pure game mechanics you're right. I just think the result is weird because according to the game 2 players are exactly equally good even if one is way fitter and much more willing to train
>>63668717
>>63668720
It just means he'll recover from fatigue/injuries a bit faster, like some people do
He could train 17 hours a day, it won't improve his attributes above the level of his evil undetermined twin
If you're going to weigh Determination/Nat Fitness you might aswell weigh Injury proneness, professionalism , Pressure etc. etc.

What's good use of midseason break for lower league team? Should I do as much friendly matches as possible? What training should I do to keep my players fit?
I always struggle after midseason break.
>accepting a DoF role after being sacked
top kek
how does this look?
any instructions I should add?
>>63669501
Are you playing English leagues? To be honest I find their schedule so jam-packed that my players (many of whom are young and/or have lower stamina/nat fit stats) can do with a rest by the time it rolls around. I don't play a huge rotation though.
>>63669473
Its pretty well known and we still beat them 7-1 so it was kind of a nothing goal
>>63669531
i'd put the BWM in the centre of the midfield trio if only because it looks nicer
>>63669533
I'm playing Polish 3th tier and I my break starts at 16th November and ends 7th March. Thats like 3,5 months.

>>63669557
yeah that's rough. You probably want to schedule some friendlies or some shit.
>>63663440

top lel mate, you were only decent because you had 17 (seventeen) or so attempts
i wish they could implement an element of "choosing your moments" in FM. it's stupid when a great opportunity to make a long pass and send a player through on goal on the counter presents itself and your players don't take it because they're set to "retain possession" or pass shorter. reverse is true as well, players pumping silly long passes forward when your team wins the ball back immediately, giving your forwards no chance to get on the end of it.

Its a waste to use 2 inside forwards with 2 wingbacks
a false nine with 2 inside forwards can be fine
you can make 1 side a winger, the other side an inside forward, and on the side you use an inside forward you use a more defensive back, and on the side you use a winger you use a wingback
but no 2 IFs and 2 wingbacks
