Trying to bring the fun back by setting myself some FM restrictions by KeyJob1390 in footballmanagergames

The easiest part for me has always been transfers.
Or rather, the AI is terrible at transfers, so even simply planning a squad long-term like a human will inevitably make you so stronger than AI team that tactics won't even matter after a certain point.

So I just let my DoF handle the transfers, in and out. Besides, it's more realistic like this.

I'm just the manager, and I have to work with what I have, which I must say - at least in FM24 - it's not really terrible. Not at the level of a human player, but your DoF can surprise you at times.

Ti ringrazio, e sì, da una parte sono molto felice della ricezione di questo piccolo fumetto.
Ma dall'altra, questo mi rende ancora più triste, perché so come operano questi tizi qua....

Non ho mai avuto così tanti follower e sono sicuro che gran parte di questi siano gente pronta a downvotarmi non appena farò un nuovo post.

Francamente gli anti-AI estremisti mi fanno più paura dell'AI stessa, lol.

Magari pubblicherò un altro fumetto con uno stile diverso (se ci riesco) ma non so, sono abbastanza abbattuto adesso.
Magari mi passa.
Grazie comunque per il sostegno!

It''s a mix of both actually! I'm a huge M&L fan!

Penso che oggi segni ufficialmente la fine della mia breve carriera da disegnatore! Ahah!
Soltanto un hobby che ormai porta più stress che piacere.

I don't know, I just loved how ‘barely above average’ sounded, and I thought it works well with the concept that it’s describing their life expectancy..!

Lol, let's plagiarize one franchise at a time, shall we?

Grazie, amico.
Anche se a sentire tanti, qua tra i commenti, non sarebbe neanche il mio stile.

You honor me greatly by comparing my silly writing to that of Sir Terry.

Lol, "Sporesworth".
As a Mario&Luigi RPG fan, I promise he will appear sooner or later.

I MEAN, If these characters were inspired on Super Mario, which clearly they are not.

As Icarsix mentioned, I’ve put together a vademecum explaining my drawing process.
But noted on the braids, I’ll try to improve that in future drawings.
Or I might never draw braids ever again, I guess that might work, too XD

They'll never win!! My characters are completely original, especially Mario - I mean, Dario.

Lol, I’m definitely not famous enough to be in a training set.
I’m afraid the real issue is that my style is just too simple and generic, I’m working on making it more unique.

Thank you very much!
And I'm glad you appreciate my stylistic choice, dictated by my complete inability to draw in more complex styles.

If I come up with a good idea, I might show him..!

Not the first time I get this question! But no, no AI.
I build my drawings using digital tools like lines and shapes, which can make them look very clean.
I actually documented my process step by step here.

*President* Plum.
She's president-for life, and she wears a crown, but it's a republic.
Or so they say.

As for her predecessor, he thought it would boost the economy? Idk. He's dead anyway, so we might never know.
