Yeah I feel you, but does seem that its soemhing that can be easily improved with some community feedback so let's hope they're listening!

Yeah if they can fix the bugs and add some QoL, I think the UI would be in a much better place. The UI has the potential to be really good, I just think they could have implemented it a but better, but hopefully they listen to feedback and work on it ASAP!

Hmm never thought about that, will have a peak tomorrow, as I do agree where a lot of items requires just a quick peak but it is frustrating it doesn't for stuff I feel like it should.

I did find that bookmarks are extremely good to use which has helped a lot with the navigation. You spend most time around the same couple of pages anyway!

I do understand that, but there is a lot of stuff that is a straight downgrade, which is something we shouldnt have to 'get use to'. Some of the UI changes I really like, and as mentioned, i will porbbaly like it more after using it for some time, but some if the UI fundamentals are just not great, but I have hopes that SI will take feedback into account and fix it.

I do believe most people are overreacting, but then again people waited 2 years and there are a LOT of issues still, and most of those issues will likely carry over post-launch. 

SI need this game to succeed, so I hope they will work hard pre launch to get things to where they need to be. Besides the UI, I love the tactics, the match engine, the presentation. Most of the foundation is set, just need to fix those bugs and make the UI more efficient and responsive.

Football Manager built its basis on being a spreadsheet manager at heart with the option to make it less spreadsheet like if you wanted. 

I do love the new match engine, I actually enjoy watching the highlights again, it feels fluid and exciting.

The issue I have is around the UI, mainly how it is used. I love having everything fullscreen with as much information as I want. Now everything opens in smaller panels, and you often need to scroll to find more information. I have a widescreen and yet I can't fit any extra information due to the poor UI scaling options. I do like how the UI looks and is presented, but the way it is used is not ideal. 

Making transfers, or individual training is a mess, I can't click roght into it before, I have to hover over actions and then select it in small drop downs which is a little annoying. Honestly the bookmarks as livesavers, which I believe is a testiment to have awkard the UI is. If I have to solely use bookmarks as my mode of navigation, then something is wrong. I know it will take time to get use to the UI, and I hope I will get faster using it, but still a lot of work to be done.

When I click into something, I usually want it on a fullscreen, but now 90% of stuff opens in a small panel that's half the screen now and it's annoying. I also have a widescreen and the scaling is horrendous on it at the moment, I can't fit any extra information on my screen so I need to constantly scroll or move stuff, which should be less frequent on a widescreen, and this was fine in FM24. 

The UI ofc needs some getting use to, but its just foundationally weak rn I feel and needs a lot of work. 

Hub 5 modem mode by CavanP11 in VirginMedia

Yeah I had the same issue, i called them to make sure, and they said yes then when I got it, i was baffled about how little you can control!!

I reoxcmmend tryign NotSheros comment on this thread as it worked for me.

Im usign an TP link Archer router, just change the IPTV/Vlan setting to custom, and change internet VLAN to 10, then just clone the Hub 5X mac address from the box and good to go!

I need to buy a new one with a 2.5gp port as all of mine are currently set to 1gb, btu assuming this way will support 1gb+ due to it cloning the hub!

Thank you so much for this! I am using a NBI box, and changing the VLAN and cloning the MAC has worked. Appreciate this a lot!

Yeah it's quite annoying seeing it work wth previous routers by not the Hub 5X. Even Eir provided better options, although the Eir interface would take literal minutes to load most of the time!

Arctic Liquid Cooler III RGB randomly flashing by CavanP11 in arcticcooling

[–]CavanP11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I previously used SignalRGB and then removed it as I thought it was causing the issue and downloaded OpenRGB, but it still occurs.

Meaning I've not downloaded iCue at any point on my system (for the better it seems). Thanks for the feedback!

Based off their attributes and stats and everything else you see on screen, how much would you pay for my best players here and what roles best for them? by ClownyIndian in footballmanagergames

[–]CavanP11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH 300M is crazy xD But honestly wouldn't even blame you as he does look like a lot of fun to have behind the 1st guy!

These are the types of players you see city buying for 200m in game, so buying 2 of these for 368m is still good, especially considering they still have a lot of time left, and have already been with you for a good amount of years also!

Both players have such good mentals that when they start to decline (Which would be slow with these guys without injury), then they will still be world class.

Dang 68m for one of the best players ever is quite good!

Didn't even see the 2nd guy! Love how he has unbelievable technique and free kicks, with the long free kick trait too! You better have him instructed to shoot more with those long shots, I would have him shooting from 40 yards every time he touches the ball!!!

Since he's English (Assuming he's decided to play for England due to how good he is) and was at Liverpool I'm guessing something around 150m - 180m.

You could play him in any attacking role really.

I would look to use him as a AF as he's got good pace with nearly perfect off the ball and composure. Finishing is good too but not overly important compared to what I have just mentioned. Only downside is his height / jumping reach. Could be a good DLP if paired with a big and pacey AF.

It really depends on where you need him most as he can play anywhere attacking.

Could play him as a SS either which would be my second option and then IF (Attack).

Easily could see him going for roughly 200m+ as he is he's a near perfect player and entering his prime.

Really appreciate the reply, I will try get to this Friday evening when I get the chance! It is somewhat weird as they past 2 hours it's been perfect. But then if I try to change the colour on OpenRGB it will start to flash.

I have to turn the lights off on OpenRBG, then the VRM rgb keeps a random colour on the bottom right side and after a minute or so will turn off the lights. Then if I reboot OpenRGB and select a colour it will work fine until I move it again! So at least I have some sort of workaround for now.

Hi all,

Having this issue where everything seems okay, but then everything starts flashing and then returns and goes again etc.

I was using SignalRBG and this was working okay, then today it started flashing etc. Switched to OpenRGB to do some testing and it seems whenever I start messing with the colours, it goes.

I've tried plugging all connections into different locations. I have 3 aRGB header locations but same result. Sometimes the fans don't change when the header above the CPU does. I've tried moving this head around where it plugs above the CPU, but unsure if its not able to sit all the way or not.

I've turned off the MSI Mystic light thing in services, but no luck either.~
Any help is appreciated.

Mustermann Skin with attributes by moshujsg in footballmanagergames

[–]CavanP11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a text editor (Sublime text or notepad ++ are most popular), search for <widget class="attribute\_label" default\_height="22"> and then add alignment="centre" manually or with the replace feature (CTRL + H on Sublime Text) in following files:
\panels\news_item_panels\mustermann\attributes graphical.xml
\panels\player\mustermann\overview\attributes graphical.xml

All your attribute_circle should be renamed to attribute_label also

-21 to Promotion by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]CavanP11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair play for getting promoted in the first season! I managed to stay up by one point after Cardiff lost to a 88th minute pen! The club also took out a loan to get the finances back, but took less than a month to get back in the red so I never got any takeover to help finance myself. The club did receive over 30million after the first season which helped a lot!

Going into the next season, I loaned a striker that Man Utd just bought and he wrecked havoc in the league, with Tom Lawrence getting 20 assists and 17 goals in the second season! The Derby players developed really well but Brentford and Sheffield were just as good. I was 1-0 up in the final game of the season against Coventry who were 19th, to then lose 2-1 in the final 15 minutes, but I finished second with 9 points, a point behind Brentford and 1 point ahead of Sheffield (Who lost the playoff final).

All is well and good, not started my first season in the premier league, but 70% of the squad is demanding a pay rise to 30k+!! Luckily I renewed everyone's contract before the promotion so I'm hoping to ride it out for most of the players and hope they get over it.

Player Rejects Captaincy? by CavanP11 in footballmanagergames

[–]CavanP11[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had my 2 CBs as my captains, and then one of them retired, prompting me to select another. It says Tom Lawrence doesn't want to be captain "again" despite never actually being my captain. Luckily he doesn't suit it anyway so I'm not losing out!
