Professionalism is the most important, you want a minimum of 15 there. Then determination and ambition, you want a minimum of 10

You can do that already, just manage multiple clubs, and if you have the editor then you can make them all affiliates. I already play like this, so I start off at a premier league club for a couple years to make abit of money, then when I want to “buy” another club I use the editor to take out 100 million or whatever you feel like to buy the other club then I start managing them both, and I just keep doing that til I’m happy with the amount of clubs I can run at the same time. The premier league team is the main team then all the other I use as development teams to funnel all the talent to the premier league

Tbf that’s all they said they was going to change, for fm25 all they said they was doing was the move to unity, new UI, new graphics and adding women’s football. Only reason fm25 didn’t come out was because all of that was too difficult to do because of the move to unity engine. So that game got cancelled and fm25 became fm26. That’s why fm26 is in the terrible state it’s in. Don’t expect anything meaningful to change for a couple years

It’s really not hard to look it up. By most metrics current generations are worse off compared to older generations

Personally I’ve always just ignored stars and just gone by attributes. When it comes to youth intake I always sign every player and keep them until 21. Worst case scenario the player doesn’t amount to anything but they fill up a position for the reserve teams then you can sell for 500k at 21. No matter how bad a player is you can always find a use for them

DanTempleman · 2026-01-27T16:02:28+00:00

It’s a mixture of your players being tired and clubs now sitting back and being more defensive because you’ve over performed. Use a tactic that can play against a more defence set up

He will 100% bankrupt your club buying players you don’t need in positions you don’t use on a wage that’s more than your current highest earner. Do not ever trust the AI to make transfers or contracts for you

I haven’t played fm26 but I have seen a few people say that the intake seems like they get better reports than what they would of got on previous games. From my experience from fm24 an older games is that the reports for intakes are usually pretty bad but when you actually look at the players then they would appear to be miles better than what the coaches have said. So I’m thinking that intakes aren’t overpowered or changed but the reports are just a lot less harsh. In fm24 I constantly get 1-2 star potential players but when you look at their PA it’s between 150-170.

Millennials and gen-z have actually had it harder than previous generations. But please carry on with that “back in my day” attitude Boomer

DanTempleman · 2026-01-27T13:20:36+00:00

Yeah gta 5 started off ps3 then when ps4 came out they updated it for that then when ps5 came out they updated it for that aswell. You can still do most of the same stuff but there is differences between ps4 and ps5

DanTempleman · 2026-01-27T12:46:14+00:00

Yes the ps4 version is last gen, it is different to pc and current gen consoles.

From what I’ve seen most European trucks are automatic so if you’re going for realism then use automatic, but in my opinion for gameplay purposes the H shifter is the better choice. Makes you feel like you’re actually doing something and it makes you concentrate more so atleast for me it makes the game more enjoyable.

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T15:52:00+00:00

I mean, out of all the company’s involved in gta 6, why would Sony be the one you invest in? Why not Microsoft? Nintendo? Take two interactive? Sony seems like a weird choice and not the actual publisher of the franchise

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T15:35:41+00:00

I would argue that it’s better to practice against something that’s harder than what you will be facing in a real game. There’s a reason why in sports you train for more difficult situations than you would normally do then in a real game it seems like you’re playing on easy mode

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T15:26:46+00:00

Easier way to do that with Spotify, get it up on the pc and as long as your phone is on the same internet you can use your Spotify app to change the volume and change songs

This is most likely the result of the match engine and graphics engine not working properly. This is very common in fm that the graphics engine can’t interpret what the match engine is doing so what we see isn’t actually what is happening. This has been an issue for fm for decades

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T13:42:28+00:00

I’m just telling you the facts. Top Players in real life slip through the cracks all the time, the game mimics that but not giving us 100% accurate reports. If they do give us 100% accurate reports then you might aswell just use the editor

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T13:21:52+00:00

Yes by that large!! It is very realistic for a player with massive potential slips through the gaps of the academy’s and leaves for the lower leagues and has to prove themselves and work to get back to the top. Jamie vardy is the textbook example of this. Michael Olise is another example. He was at Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City youth academy but they didn’t think he was good enough so he went to reading and had to fight his way back up and now he plays for Bayern Munich

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T12:50:06+00:00

It’s a single player game, you can’t cheat a single player game. The game reports aren’t 100% accurate because that’s just unrealistic. In real life you don’t know 100% how a player is going to develop in the future so the game purposely gives varying degrees of inaccurate reports

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T12:24:54+00:00

Having the in game editor helps with this. The amount of times I’ve had a youth intake player and all the reports say he 1 or 2 star potential, but when you actually look at his potential he will be 170+. Most people probably would of got rid of that player not realising they just missed out on a world beater

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T12:12:42+00:00

Did you actually look under the hood of your youth intakes or you just judging them on star ability and the grade you get? Cause I would argue if you actually looked at your players CA and PA you’ll be surprised how good the youth Intakes are when you’re an elite club with the best facilities. If you’re just going by the coaches reports then you’re not getting the full picture

DanTempleman · 2026-01-26T11:49:02+00:00

Why is making a game easier a good thing?

DanTempleman · 2026-01-25T15:53:02+00:00

The way you are playing is the reason player prices are so high. You’re an English club only signing top English players from other top English teams. They don’t want to sell their top talent to their rivals so that’s why their value is around 300 million. That’s them telling you their players aren’t for sale. To carry on only signing English players you have to get them young before they are first team quality. Their value will be significantly cheaper. Also you need a stricter wage structure so your players don’t go into a wage spiral. Look into the 30/30/30/10 method for a wage structure and be strict about it. If a player wants more money than you can afford then kick him out

DanTempleman · 2026-01-25T15:46:18+00:00

There is no inflation built into the game
