You may have sympathy for the Canadian, if you've never been face-to-face with one. I was there. I was there in New Brunswick during the Canadian war. In the trenches. Rifle in my hand at all times. I'd heard about the horrible living conditions of the Canadians. I once felt sorry for them. Once. When they come charging over the hill, and you catch one in his beady black eye, all that sympathy goes out the window. You see him and you cannot fathom a human being to be this way. You cannot think that what is behind this person's stare is good for this earth. Maybe it was the war, maybe this is what the war does to you. Maybe there was a part of me that knew I had become the same as these Canadian creatures and they were looking at me the same way I looked at them. Maybe when I shot them I was shooting a little part of me; a projected part of my own inhumanity. Maybe I'm sick in the head. But I cannot imagine my 5 little daughters growing up in a world inhabited by the Canadian. If wanting to kill them all is my mental illness, then I don't need any psychological counseling. I already know the cure.

Come to Slovenia. My season ticket sales multiplied by 10 (as in "ten") when I finished second in the league after the previous manager barely escaped relegation. Then we doubled the stadium's capacity and since it still wasn't enough, we're also building a 10k seats stadium which capacity can be doubled. All while still paying the 2M€ debt off the previous' stadium's expansion. Thanks CL money.

I'm not sure I understand but yes, you'll have an easier time getting more important jobs, though you'll still be able to get shitty ones. And you can check on the club's page where it says "Finances", which can be Insecure, Good, Rich, etc.

"Both players were present in the database with good starting stats and a very high potential, and Maksim (spelled "Maxim Tsigalko" in the game) in particular was capable of becoming a world class player, to the degree that he is very well known amongst fans of the Football Manager series and considered one of the game's legends."

Guten tag / Good day,
Dortmund head coach Dirk Knoop here, ready to field some questions from you budding club managers.
Let us make another discussion or two. #dontstooptheknoop
>>69047241
I love getting those comments from some conference team manager whenever I'm coaching in the PL.
>>69047270
I do not even recognise you.
But since you are here how do I become a good manager?
>>69047180
>>let your GK shoot penalties
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bxa4jNhmBM
Never do that.
>>69047270
How is your relation with Ivica Strok?
>>69047265
no, it simply makes me uneasy when all the big moneyclubs are trying to steal my young lads, luckily I tied him down on a 5 year contract recently
Something is very wrong here.
worth 14.5m?
>>69047508
>9 games without a goal
wew
>>69047316
Hello pupil. There are, in my esteemed opinion, two routes to becoming a successful manager: the first is to be born with such skill - I will assume you were not - and the second is to strive to learn every day.
Any role in football has bumps along the way, but you must persevere. Over time, one can develop a philosophy that works for them. This approach helped me become the leading manager I am today. You may get there, but should you fail, you will surely not recognise me.
>>69047366
Hello, it warms my heart to see a Peruvian. I once lived in Peru, it's a fine land, it is really something.
To answer your question, Ivica is a top lad. I think of him as a son. I am godfather to his child.
>>69047420
This is not his account, but a cheap imitation. I implore you to report it.

>>69048547
Well he won't go until the end of the season and we're in late November. He was cheap at 200k tho', so it's not a big loss but still. It's kinda important for me to raise decent kids because of the """QUALITY""" of Slovenian youth that makes me poach left and right.

4-3-3 a shit, welcome home 4-2-3-1 and the Trequartista. I'm unreasonably happy considering it's nothing but a bunch of 0s and 1s. I dunno if my team is getting legit gud or if other top Euro teams are flopping.

>Tevez
He doesn't get called up because (apparently) the other players don't like him. Which is fine, apart from Boca fans, no one actually likes him, I don't even know where this "the People's Player" meme came from. Just because he was poor doesn't make him likable. His skills have also deteriorated since coming back.
I want Dybala. I wanted him in the Copa. Fuck you, Juve.

>>69050156
>Tevez
I suppose he was our Nasri/Cantona then.
>>69049448
>>69049556
this inspired me to go after the rarest of rare flags and literally the only player available for the nation
unsurprisingly he is probably awful but if he isn't totally hopeless I may keep him around forever on the off chance I can convince him to become staff and also he has a funny name.

And the player giveaway to other poor Slovenian clubs begins. This guy's contract was ending, so I just made sure he was going to another Slovenian club instead of going for oil money. Whether they keep him or sell him I don't care. I will give away two or possibly four other players at the end of the season depending of my scouting and recruitment.

No, stick with 14.
Every fucking time I think I'm about to have the spare cash to buy FM16, something happens and I have to stick with FM14. On top of that, the issues with feeder clubs in my last save got to be too much and I had to start all fucking over. Life is the worst and I don't like it.
>>69051619
But are there some current mods and packs for it? Steam workshop has almost nothing.
does anyone know if there are any hidden or long term problems with pirated versions of FM15? I can't afford a real copy of any FM yet so I'm just using this one until I can, but it will still probably get a lot of mileage until then so I'd like it if it worked.

>seven consecutive draws
I'm still relatively new to the finer points of FM and I cannot figure out the tactical/training changes to make which would have an immediate impact in improving my perpetually sub-par possession percentage. Since I'm running basically an expansion team and my squad is very young and more loaded with potential than current talent, maybe there is no solution?

>>69052753
Well no, born in May but that's still shit.
Still new to this game, playing in England means it's difficult to sign players from south america but easier if they have an EU nationality, right? So what about after brexit becomes official?
>>69052965
See ya in FM 19 or something when it actually takes effect. At which point you could just go manage in Portugal or Spain: no limits for foreign players in Portugal IIRC, and they get the Spanish passport in two years.
>>69053004
>At which point you could just go manage in Portugal or Spain
That means being in Portugal or Spain among a bunch of Portuguese and Spaniards with Portuguese and Spanish names, though. England is maximum comfy even though it's hard to get people.
>>69053022
>England is maximum comfy
>>69053050
Wait actually no, I take it back.
Scotland is actually much comfier, their league system is the best I've ever seen.
>>69052270
Germany receives a higher number of regens with American nationality.
>>69053195
Is that documented anywhere? How significant is the gap between them and other european countries, anyways?

I've never had even an American second nationality come through in 2027 of fm15.

And I could not figure out how the fuck to move them to the East in the editor and I had already spent forever editing and not actually playing so I lost patience. The Braves and Falcons were in the west up until the 90's so fuck it.

they all suck, out of maybe 20 players, 3 are good.
the ones I paid more for are the best.
they don't look much different from the ones from big clubs, but the ones from big clubs are 4*~5* and mine are 3,5 stars at best.
this fucking game I swear. it's like they set the PA at will behind the attributes so you can't find them.
a 15yo youngster full of 6 and 7's with lower double digits on my rivals are 5 stars, mine suck.
I haven't got any 5 stars on my youth intake either, go fuck yourself game.

10 years out of the Conference South, I've won the premier league :DD
Proud of my boys. Proud of our club. This is a historic day.
>>69056555
Congrats.
Quite impressive really. Took me 7 years to win the premier league with Norwich who started in the Championship.
>>69056571
I didn't do all of that. I started with Met Police in the Isthmian league. Ebbsfleet's manager left for a higher job while they were 2nd in League 2 with 10 games left. Meanwhile I was struggling trying to keep Met. Police in the Conference so I jumped ship and went from there.
>>69054924
brings me shit year in, year out
>>69056646
Still pretty good. I always manage immediate promotion to the PL with Norwich, then fumble about 10th-7th for 5 seasons before some revolutionary breakthrough that lands me in the top 3.
>>69056654

>LONG THROWS ARE A MEME THEY SAID
I'll never say that. Whenever I meet Chelsea, César Azpilicueta is always on the bench. When they start feeling they might draw or lose the match, Chelsea literally subs him in to make him create goals from long throws in FM15 and I can't do jack shit about it. Even if we hoof the ball there's always a faggot to score a blooter from nowhere. Long throws fucking hell man.

>>69054697
>Scouting everything
Yeah, if you want your scout to waste their time that is. They're already slow enough when roaming. Pic related is what I usually do when they roam; for countries where the money is better (like Central Europe), I even just scout players under 18 because I wouldn't be able to buy older, more experienced players. For other shitholes or Sudacas, I put 3.5 stars instead for decent adults.
>>69058779
I scout every player from every single youth intake. Roaming doesn't mean shit if I can know from the first day they exist if they have any potential.
so it's my tiki-taka thugball against simeone-managed barca. I almost pity the referee
>>69058798
I would, but the issue I have with that is that I have to check every intake ever, which means I need to know when precisely each intake takes place and the World view doesn't really help. And even lists like these are shit at predicting: Slovenian intakes happen in March, not in February for example.
>http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2015-players/183486-football-manager-2015-youth-intake-dates.html
>>69058893
Just check it every three days or so?
>>69058905
Seems the date for the 2nd of January for Brazil is correct however. 500+ kids to scout, and I only have 4 non-Eu spots.
>That queue
>>69058930
>South Europe (Scouting Cyprus)
Good luck with that.
>>69058930
They'll burn through it eventually. Only annoying part is getting 200 reports of .5 star regens a day.
>>69058990
For the 1% chance that something might be there. It also includes Greece and Turkey. It's pretty much a fast assignment due to how small these countries are. Also, the leagues being loaded on view only means that it's sill more active than if they weren't loaded at all.
>>69058990
cyprus at least used to have ridiculously good regens for some reason
>>69058990
Reminder Cyprus have had a club in the QFs of the CL more recently than Arsene Wenger
>>69058996
I'd be happy if it was 200 per day. I'm barely at 30 reports per day. Granted I only have 8 scouts because I can't recruit every shitter and all the decent ones ask for twice the wages I can propose.
>Liverpool
Question: I want to play as my hometown team, but they only exist in a fake league structure. Because '16 got released before we unveiled our name and logo, it's just a "City FC" placeholder name. Can I go in the editor and change team files in a downloaded league setup?

>>69060376
Let me help you remember
>>69060376
I shall end your suffering out of pity.
Lads, a lady just called asking me for donations for a place where they help poor kids. She was asking for 30$, which is not very much at all, and I told her no and then lied to her.
I feel terrible.
>>69060376
Here you have the non-technical regen.
>>69060533
That guy is literally the England manager's wet dream.
>>69060060
Neat. I was doing some research on MLS / NASL in order to re-spark my interest towards FM (yes, the situation was / is that bad) around the time when Reno announced their logo and name. I was surprised how professional everything in NASL. I especially liked Sacramento's jerseys from the previous season.
>>69060013
Although you didn't include any conditions (which FM we are talking about, where did you finish last year, etc.), Alberto Paloschi might be a relatively cheap (and productive) option for a team like Sassuolo. Unless he got a major downgrade in 16 of course, I haven't seen his attributes from that one yet.
>>69059826
Not long ago a guy did a similar experiment: he signed (IIRC) 4 or 5 key players from his favourite home team (Újpest) to his favourite international (Juventus) and put them into the starting XI for a season. To everybody's biggest surprise, they performed decently amongst /against world-class players.

There has been lots of bugs. SI cannot fix the media.
Several times I win a cup, when the board wanted me to reach 2nd round. I then get told, by the media, when I won it "It was expected for X to win the cup" or "X were always favourites to win the cup".
No I fucking wasn't. Fuck you.
I've just given up on FM16 and gone to cheating.
>>69060891
>cross to win
I signed Aina on a free for my League 1 team. or League 2. By the time I got to EPL, he was super fast, but had shit mental and shit technical. Yet by the end of the season, he was my best assister with like 27 assists.
I had wonderkid AMC's who couldn't beat him. Aina had 9 crossing, but it was irrelevant. He just raped it up.
So I ignore technical and mental. 18+ Acc + Pace will make you rape ANYTHING.
>>69060932
this is why 15 is better, compared to 16 at least the match engine is wonderfully balanced
>>69060997
Day 1 15 wasn't better. Physical was literally all you needed until the first patches. 20 Finishing, 20 Off the Ball, 20 Decisions, 20 Anticipation, 20 Composure? Won't score any. 5 Finishing, 10 Off the Ball, 6 Decisions, 8 Anticipation, 9 Composure... But 19 Pace and Acceleration?
GOALS GOALS GOALS.
>>69060820
16 brings a better, smoother interface. But the match engine is complete wank. SI shouldn't have spent their dev time putting worms into the images files and actually should've tried to work on the damned game instead.
>>69061082
who is still playing day 1 fm15 though?
>>69061082

top choke ac milan

I would also like to add that the only FM where I've gotten a son was in FM15, even if he's crap.
>>69061917
>tfw never had a son :(
>>69061917
did you fug a grill
>>69062035
>Quick but no significant intelligence or technical abilities
I'd say he fucked a microwave
>>69062081
nah that acceleration and pace suggest that he got cucked by someone of western african descent
>>69061917
>that raw pace
>can dribble
>can sorta mark
2nd or 3rd division FB for life

>>69062452
>northern premier league premier division
You mean the 7th division? There are plenty of db's for that. One of them even goes down to the 24th division if you're that big a madman.
>>69062336
Good luck, I lost a 9 game accumulator thanks to England.
>>69062491
>betting on England to actually live up to expectations
you have nobody to blame except yourself
Is Robbie Brady the greatest player of all time? Our sources say yes.

Is he implying his older kid will be a footballer too? I thought he was a girl at first.
>>69062696
Yup. His son is a shit tier CB
Has anyone ever had a decent player from a literally who country? Like Turkmenistan tier.
>>69062735
Someone posted a Seychellian player yesterday.
>>69062735
Does Odemwingie count?
>>69062534
I was robbed. I was going to get something around 500 to 1000 dollars.
>>69062723
>shit tier CB
Isn't he like 9? How can you know?
>>69062787
he said decent
>>69062735
I've seen a barbados player win EPL top goalscorer, though he was part english but didn't choose their nat team
what counts as literally who though? I had a finnish player win balloon door multiple times in 11
>>69062768
Yeah but was he good?
>>69062696
>I thought he was a girl at first.
it's sweden, the kid probably thinks so too.
>>69062735
I had a guy from Cape Verde once
I was managing in Panama though
>>69062808
I can't seem to take a picture. But he's pretty garbage in FM.
>>69062846
Can't remember, was too distracted by the awesome flag.
>>69062794
so you went from 7 (hundred) to 0? seems about right.
Ok he's not going to be great but decent at least
>>69062336
well Kongsvinger are doing it, 2-0 now
Sandnes Ulf - Levanger still 1-1, watching it on a stream now, neither team look likely to score
>weather: gusty
>field condition: very poor
both teams playing hoofball atm
I think I'm about to claim Denmark
I know I splurged like a faggot to make him come here, but it feels nice when you cuck Roma, Barça, Inter, Real Mad and the likes. Must be a good lad if they were tracking him.
>>69061863
>city of AC milan
this is some world class choke
>>69063048
>>69058798
Also graciously fuck you Kem, 700+ reports for one jewel.
he's retiring at the end of the season, pretty good timing to have the best season of your career
Let us make another thread or two (just one please).
>>69063167
After you, fine sir.
>>69063167
with quality OP image please
>>69063218
asking a bit much there
If a pass is made inside your own half to a player in the other half does it still count as off-side? Swear it doesn't.
>>69063104
Next one, a manlet CD... I suppose I can always retrain him.
>>69063263
I sweat it does.
>>69063282
Maybe it doesn't count if the receiving player is in your half? I distinctly remember Villa scoring against Arsenal this way a few years ago.
>>69063263
I thought it only negates offside if the player being passed to was also in your half, or else you could just camp a dude in the opponent's box and if your team steals the ball in your own half and the defense pushed up too far, then you can just hoof it all the way down there.

It is only onside if the receiving player was in your own half when the ball was passed
>>69063300
Oh yeah, that's right. Just went back and seen the Villa goal as well and the scoring player was in our half when the pass was made.
>>69063263
Offsides don't count if the receiving player was inside his own half, inline or behind the ball.
>>69062489
where?
>>69063776
just google it
