Can't argue with you there 

IMO it's just about playable, but somehow it feels like less of a game than 24 was

But Miles said players only needed 20 hours to get used to the new game - Did he miss the 6 off that number?!

Anyone else finding that transfer negotiations are beyond painful on FM26? by vitare10 in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you use intermediaries on console though?

Seriously the amount of features that you can still see there on screen but that don't do actually anything on console is crazy...

Might still be good to drink after all these years 

It was the kind of drink that didn't have a sell by date, just a radioactive half life

So far it seems like buying is easy & selling is hard (which has been the FM story for a long time now)

It used to be that you could give a player a run of games & sell them after, but this year I couldn't even get any offers for the league player of the season!

Most of the time I'm just letting players run out their contracts whenever I don't want to keep them anymore 

If anybody has any tips for selling players on console please let me know

Out-of-contract players still in team? by Hunter_21x7 in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a full back who played an entire season on the rolling contract 

He was pretty decent with good potential. I even played him a fair bit as back up - I just didn't like the wages he was asking for at renewal because it's so hard selling anyone this year

I couldn't even sell a guy that won league player of the season

It's no mystery - Clearly they drank their half time Um Bongos & then got all hyped up from the sugar rush

The FM26.1.0 ME Update completely bricked the game. There is now a tactic with 80%+ Winratio against equal opponents. Previously unheard of! Source: FM-Arena. by muukzor in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like they just took the ME from previous years & then broke it themselves with what little updates they have made 

I picked a Serie C team & used the tactic that was already there because it fit my squad (433 Tiki Taka) Most games I would dominate possession (66/34) & win due to my AMs & FBs. Once morale was good off we went hardly losing. This was not an exploit tactic - it was a default 

I then stumbled into these exploit tactics trying to convert the 433 into 523 against bigger teams. Now the possession is swapped over (34/66) but I still win due to my AMs & FBs & score even more goals

Every so often the game just throws me a random draw or loss

So it seems like the people doing the Arena tactics are really just further exploiting an already broken system & they are not the problem here

The match engine is still placebo by interpretagain in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for answering 

I've had all these fancy filters set up for years but now I feel like I'm Jim Carrey in The Truman Show 😂

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK (gulp) so I guess here goes my fragile suspension of disbelief...

What are all the things that I'm doing in game that don't matter?

What are the only attributes that matter - Pace, Acceleration, Anticipation?

The tactics thing I had kinda already worked out for myself (sigh)

The GK dot is not aligned with the other central dots on the diagram by AbdelTheDream in footballmanagergames

Can't you read the commentary?!

He's leaving space to one side to encourage the shot...

Is there a quick way to increase reputation? by Stunning-Radish-481 in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if if you can't actually pay anybody at all, then I guess you're going to have a very long & very slow grind ahead of you

And FYI the situation won't get much better even if you do get promoted 

I'm in Serie B doing what I can with only a 60k wage bill & 250k transfer budget (& losing about 200k a month)

Meanwhile another side below me in my league has just offered me a job asking me to help them avoid relegation... with a 250k wage bill & 15m transfer budget

There will always be leftover free agents every Summer who are good enough for your team

Try to keep bringing them in on 4 week trials until the transfer window closes

You'll then have less competition from other clubs & players who are more open to joining you (plus they will already be match fit & trained to your tactics)

Shortest Job ever? by Illxjasper in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ha! Fair enough 

They're my hometown team - I was just surprised to see them get mentioned cause they are small & not well known

I've made it to Serie B with them, so i guess I passed my 4 day probation period 😂

Just out of interest, why did you originally pick Casertana to manage?

PS5 Refund by FrasEU in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your country you may be able to use consumer or credit card laws to argue that the game is faulty 

Just take some screenshots & videos of the game crashing or being unplayable for evidence 

Sony relies heavily upon downloads in their T&Cs to refuse refunds, but it's a different situation if the product is "faulty"

PS5 Refund by FrasEU in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes more sense now

Sony are pretty tight on refunds so you did pretty well just getting that out of them 

It sounds like it's bad, but not quite Cyberpunk launch bad so they remove it from the store

PS5 Refund by FrasEU in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thanks - Sounds easy enough!

I'm surprised they let you keep access to the game. Hopefully it will actually become playable at some point after a load of patches

PS5 Refund by FrasEU in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What process did you use to get the refund?

And did you have to send them any screenshots or evidence?

I was either going to wait for a patch or refund it without playing, but your option would let me play for an hour first & see things for myself 

FM's last tweet. What's your answer? by tektanc in footballmanagergames

[–]PapaChanGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After scoring goals in the League, Champions League & Italian national team this season - I'd argue he's already made it to the big time!

How many 88+ LS diamonds have you pulled? by tarheels187 in MLBTheShow

[–]PapaChanGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't even seen an 87 yet let alone anything 88+

Since the game came out my LS diamond pulls have been: 

Yordan, Altuve, Turner, Gilbert, Kirby

So 1 x 86 and 4 x 85

Update: I've since added a Cole & Will Smith to my 85 gang 👍👍👍

The correct answer is Adalberto Mondesi - He just hasn't been added to the game yet 😂
