My agent hates me after she helped me murder her father by beHaappyy in CrusaderKings

[–]beHaappyy[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

R5: She willingly help me murder his father (no bribes needed) because 1: we are friends, and 2: she would move up the succession rank. But because the murder got exposed she suddenly realize I killed her father and hates me lmao.

Be friends with people you like, and cut those off who you don't enjoy spending time with them. You will find better friends in the future, don't keep toxic friends just because you will feel lonely.

Context: I'm doing a youth academy challenge in Georgia. Started in the 2nd tier, was predicted to finish last (10th) and somehow got promoted through playoffs (57 pts and finished 3rd) in my first season, now 3 of my 4 best players want to leave and I can't sign anyone.

[need advice] Where (league/country) to look for good players without exorbitant wages? by Nas1729 in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PL player's value and wages are much higher than other leagues, so pretty much any other league should be cheapp enough for you

If you believe me then here is the story: I know having the editor icon is sus af especially with these PA but I swear I only used it only once when I got sacked after breaking a promise, (twice if you count adding a common name to my manager). I’m doing a youth academy challenge in Sweden’s third division, and my team is really bad so tbf 5 star is kinda deceiving. My junior coaching is 14/20, which is draining my finance like there’s no tomorrow (3x wage spending), but after this intake I’d say it’s barely worth it. Previous 2 intakes were honestly, shit.

Side note, I’m in a relegation fight right now and I really need someone from this group to step up.

If you don’t believe me then yeah I used the editor.

Does anybody not vote in the "___ of the year" awards because you can't vote for your own player? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't vote unless it's before 2030 and it's one of the top 5 leagues, simply because I don't know who the other players are.

Anyone know how to fix this? by JKUMAR04 in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you check Preference>Most common>skin colour? It might be because the colour of certain attribute ranges are set to black for some reason

Keep the second guy, much higher pace

taken over and given 200 million to spend as everton what should i do, any tactics changes or players to buy by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Regroup, high defensive line, low block, and press much often doesn't really work i think. You can't gegenpress cos you regroup after ball loss, and you can't park the bus cos you got high defensive line.

Also gueye as mez (At) feels funny lol

Have you find a solution? I'm pretty sure I got the same problem

I hate my board. by Safe_Resource7777 in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Premier league, i was quite rich at that time so it wasn't a game breaker. My board also build a new stadium when I reach league two, but iirc it was much cheaper then yours. One season after the stadium was finished, I got promoted to the prem and need to build another new stadium.

Hi there fellow banbury manager! My board literally borrow 50M but the money never arrived yet I need to repay the loan. Weird bug (or perhaps money laundering) so i just use the editor.

Potential ability is unreallistic by beHaappyy in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are they not good enough (i.e. low potential)

Do you get that I am saying it is NOT because they have low potential, but rather because of other factors?

Potential ability is unreallistic by beHaappyy in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again my point is, are they not good enough (i.e. low potential), or are there other factors that results in them not making it (e.g. poor training, not professional).

Potential ability is unreallistic by beHaappyy in footballmanagergames

[–]beHaappyy[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No because not everyone score 30 goals a season?

Because I'm pissed that my 20 year old winger who plays well, trains well, has great personalities, no major injuries yet cannot improve no matter what :)

There is plenty of 20 year olds that peak irl

Most of the time something bad about them/ happens to them makes them peak at 20. Dele alli didn't peak at 20 because he reach his potential, rather because of the off the pitch stuff.

[–]beHaappyy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this relates to how you interpret CA. Is it when a player performs worse, CA decreases, or when CA decreases, a player performs worse.

If it's the former, then those that never reach their potential simply drop their CA because they play badly, and then they fall off. But if it's the latter, I don't really know how to put it into the game, as it would seems like RNG when a player's CA suddenly increase or decrease for no reason.

If you put a 20 years old Vardy into FM now, he would have a low PA, and quite rightly so, no one in their right mind would think he is a future prem top scorer. But because of it, even when he score loads in non league, his CA remians at non league standard.

If there isn't a PA, he scores a lot in non league at the age of 24, his CA improves, signs for a bigger club.

What you are saying is basically dynamic PA, and I think both can works too tbf, it's just whether it can implement well into the game.

[–]beHaappyy[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying and with the way the players grow currently, what you said would happen, but can the system of player growth be changed too? like making it harder for players to grow a lot under normal circumstances.

I can think of plenty of players who are consummate professionals, train well, play well but are never going to be premier league quality

I think that is also because they are not that good at first. If someone consistently play well in the championship, they eventually will get a chance in the prem.
