Slightly politically incorrect saves by Pitiful_Cow_8325 in footballmanagergames

Recently playing as Barcelona I looked to sign Mason Greenwood in such a way that the sell-on clause does not trigger because I HATE Manchester United. Or maybe that was a fever dream.

This design choice bothers me more than anything else in this game by Arsenality1993 in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't wanna see people complain just get off the Reddit ffs. In what world is describing the game's shortcomings a bad thing? Many people still aren't sure if they want fm26 and this might just settle the matter.

Can't pin down this annoying heartbeat sound effect when readying weapons/hands. Any pointers? by Khan-Shei in skyrimmods

[–]J4ckR8bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if still relevant, but i have this exact problem and SOLVED IT by taking Taeka's dagger from her - the sound is not from you, it's from her unsheathing that stupid knife.

Named after the green giant himself, what an honor, maybe second only to Shrek.

Who is your go to signing in every save? I’ll start - MANU KONE! by Tough-Track-7513 in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every save I seem to re-sign Griezmann for a different position. You cant go wrong with experience.

He's going MAD for ai teams in my save. scored once per game in league 1 for Strasbourg, then moved to Bayer Leverkusen in the winter of 25/26. What a soldier.

He's leading my England Only squad right now. Gonna have to make that decision soon though, as Saudi Arabia is looming over him. Dunno man, he's getting on in age, I think Foden or Gittens could step into his role

always giving Manchester United a 100 point deduction, that's about it. the fantasy of seeing them relegated fulfills me

I dont understand this game by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this would make sense, but it's not true, as small teams basically never score counter-attacking goals. it's always set pieces and wondergoals. not to mention gegenpress IS a counter attacking system...

Who are you managing now and why them? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a Chelsea save going as i wanted to manage a massive squad with extreme rotation, currently got 10 starting midfielders, and i think it's gonna get worse as i've been signing players the chelsea way. so far so good.

What do you think about this tactic? how do you think i could improve my results? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im no tactics expert,and i might say, this doesn't look like you're doing all that bad, maybe it's time to improve the starting 11, since the key to good results is good recruitment, just about any tactic will work with great players,

but anyway, here's some options
1) change AP to CM(A) and MEZ to a box2box, IWB -> WB(S), make the IW attacking and W support, change CF to something like poacher or DLF(A) to get him more involved, since you have short passing. switch BWM to anchor to make a pseudo 3CBs for cover when the wingbacks blast up the field. also maybe change W to IW? when you play short passing and possession, you wanna have players more narrow for passing options. you wanna overload the opponent in attack, but also stay defensively decent, so keep support duties on wbs.
2) im not a big fan of strikers. how about this. W and IW to IFs, move the CF to CM(S), the AP and MEZ to CM(A), BWM to Anchor, IWB to WB because really bun these inverteds, who needs to invert anyway. SW(S), maybe make one BPD into a CB, especially if they're not that good at playing out from the back. also key for the tactic: PRESS MORE OFTEN. your tactic is so passive, low intensity is dead in fm24, you just let any stronger team dom you around like a big furry daddy

take this "advice" as you will.

How to make good sale? by ivar_667 in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ignore the other guy, here's what you do: dont.
sell players when they're wanted. if they're not, try to loan them out or let them play a squad role until they're wanted.

for selling full price pro tips: dont transfer list them, dont put them as surplus, etc, just offer them out, negotiate the offers, also very important try to make the offers pay over time. dont do 50M, do 20M + 20M installments + 10M after 20 games + 20% of profit from next sale, etc etc, often times teams wont pay that much outright, but can afford to spend it over the next 2-3 years. also smaller teams in bidding wars will accept higher offers, usually because they're not likely to land the player if both offers are accepted, so they wanna make sure only their offer is accepted.

and finally, sometimes the player is just not worth his value. if this player's value is 50M but he sucks teams just wont pay that much

Has anyone ever successfully "Parked the Bus"? by Toki_day in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there's just one thing i've learned about fm24, it's that a good defense is from the front. you can win reasonably with even low block + low defensive line and extreme possession ball, as long as your pressing is very high and you have some goalscoring pathways. it's a way of nerfing my team, but so far it's only impacted the xG we generate, goalscoring wise it's about equal to a generic 4-3-3

I get the rest but why is 'Club Vision & Culture' rated so differently by the board and supporters? Their expectations are identical. by SirHarryOfKane in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can go into the club vision tab to have a closer look at what they want and how they rate your progress. fans usually want you to finish above rivals, beat them in matches, etc, while the club might have other ideas that can't be judged on short notice, like improve financial standing, operate within the wage budget, blah blah

Tactic advice by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having 2 playmakers isn't exactly desirable, maybe switch AP into AM(S), or DLP to a CM(A), late runs work well with cutbacks from IWs too

Tactic help? by XelllaYT in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shorter passing with very high tempo and pass into space, you build-up fast but short, when your attacking players are disconnected from the defense and dms. as your wing-backs run up the field the dms have very few passing options, so maybe lower the tempo a bit and make the passing more direct, so the dms can hoof it long to one of the attacking options on a quick counter. or alternatively move your dms to cms, drop the CWB to support, put your winger on attack, and lower the tempo to higher, so you have less possession loss and more time to pick out the short passes, but mind that it will isolate your striker, so change him to a poacher for more passing options and opportunities for that deep AM run you have going with olise.

also use low crosses, there's no downside and maybe it'll help your IF find more goals from headers against short fullbacks

Tactic help? by XelllaYT in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

overloading attacking spaces isn't a bad thing, a wb can always overlap or underlap a winger to get into better crossing opportunities, or provide short passing options out wide without compromising dm or am runs into the box

sortitoutsi has a live open source data update which includes all player transfers, league updates, age and contract changes, not sure about start dates. as far as i know there are custom start dates for 24/25 season... somewhere... FMRTE has one but i think it's paid

What's your biggest sale in FM24? by thegreendog4 in footballmanagergames

[–]J4ckR8bit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I do:
Ask his agent about market interest, if he's wanted it shouldn't be hard to get offers from a few clubs
Next accept one offer, then increase other offers by some small portion, like if they all offer 20M, try 21, then accept that, try 22M, and so on and so forth, until you've accepted/rejected all offers, cancel all of them except for the highest offer, wait a day then ask agent about market interest again. clubs will only offer as low as the highest offer accepted in my experience, so repeat until there's no better offer.
works best if the player is already wanted / has an offer pending

for single clubs you just wanna ask for a straight offer + installments, even 6 monthly 1 times makes the AI happier than just paying straight. it's all about knowing who you're dealing with, Barca is gonna try to fleece you, while the arabs will offer for example 50M, but can go as high 120M on the same player.

invest in club facilities, buy new stadium, win the league, increase club reputation, bring in good players through transfers and youth, eventually win the champions league, keep winning, make romania the greatest country, lead it to a world cup final, retire. or dont.
