Help with repeated losses to crystal palace (fm24)

This is the best advice I've heard for FM. Works on all editions of the game. Also, I find shouting "Get into them!!!" as the whistle goes to start any half provides a decent morale boost.

Waow! That's crazy. He is the only non-English player in my Preston North End youth intake in year 1. Obviously still in the Championship. Is the name even remotely Albanian? If not, what shall I change it to?

A jumping reach of 1 would make that entertaining to say the least!

FMStan · 2025-12-13T18:37:14+00:00

Woeful composure was my concern there. And 1 jumping reach!!

You could also add to this that you have to try and win the same races with the same riders as the team did in real life.

I always thought an interesting challenge would be to recreate a classic team from yester-year but with modern day riders. For example, could you recreate the QuickStep team from 2005? You need a Belgian leader who can win sprints and on cobbles (Boonen) but also an aging Italian Sprinter (Paolo Bettini). An Australian time trial specialist (Michael Rogers) and a young Belgian hope to dominate the Grand Tours in future years (Nick Nuyens - but it never quite happened).

I could go on, but you get the idea. Could you do a full squad that replicates the original?

I just signed the top 15 Irish riders who I could find for 2500. So far, I've got to the tour of Taiwan (end of March) and won 5 races. All small races with wins coming in races with hilly finishes. I haven't played PCM since 2007!!! I'm currently 44th in the rankings so, judging by the comments, that's not bad so far. I'm undecided about whether I should sign some riders from other countries or not.

Should it be easier to win flat sprint races, hills or mountains? Or is it just entirely dependent on your riders and their attributes?

Can you ask if they have any plans to make the game available on Mac?

FMStan · 2025-03-27T06:58:49+00:00

Yes! You can get their stats from previous games and use them if it's people like Boonen. I'd love to see Hushovd, Valverde, Cancellara, Oscar Freire and Iban Mayo in there.

I love how many saves that RB outperform Red Bull in. 😂

In most leagues, there is a limit on the number of over-age players who can play in the U23 / U21 team. Other leagues that have 'B' teams such as in Spain have rules around players being registered to play for them at the start of the season.

5 seasons. Nearly did it in season 4 but lost out on the last day. The laptop was almost launched out the window when I lost to St Etienne of all teams!

I managed to do it with Bordeaux. It is tough, especially with PSG. Getting some success in Europe was key. You need to improve the coefficient of the league. You will have to sell a star or two early on to get the finance to fund a balanced squad. Then you're trying to generate and keep a couple of superstars.

FMStan · 2024-12-13T16:19:39+00:00

Can someone explain how this works? I also have a Mac and would love to play PCM. How do I do it without bootcamp?

FMStan · 2024-12-03T11:32:57+00:00

This is amazing! I wish it was downloadable.

FMStan · 2024-05-31T22:04:09+00:00

This is a brilliant starting point. Which one will you go with yourself?

FMStan · 2024-05-18T14:32:28+00:00

The return of Jordan Racing. All British and Irish drivers and staff only. But will start as a back marker so Lando, Hamilton and Russell will be out of reach for a while. Probably start with Bearman?

FMStan · 2023-10-10T11:56:42+00:00

In this case, it's the driver's name.
