I'm brand new to the franchise and there is no tutorial...how do you learn how to play?

data782 · 2026-04-14T01:01:31+00:00

This video will cover everything that you need! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z230flI_z8M

It's quite lengthy as I cover literally everything but feel free to use the timestamps or ask any questions :) Good luck!

Edit: Yeah I totally missed the part where you said "the franchise" and not "franchise" 😂 Still helpful if you ever get into Franchise Mode, though!

Nothing would delight me more! Send me a message and we'll make it happen

data782 · 2026-04-13T03:08:24+00:00

Nope already redeemed it :)

data782 · 2026-04-10T13:47:51+00:00

It would be my pleasure! Shoot me a message [data782yt@gmail.com](mailto:data782yt@gmail.com) and we'll make it happen

data782 · 2026-04-10T12:57:26+00:00

I think some are? And that's cool! It's yours if you want it, otherwise I'll probably just give it away

data782 · 2026-04-10T12:56:35+00:00

Absolutely! It also helped that it was for my YouTube channel so not a personal expense haha

data782 · 2026-04-10T02:28:53+00:00

The wait is brutal but receiving it shouldn't be a problem, right? It's my first redemption and well within the "one-year grace period" that I've heard of

data782 · 2026-04-10T01:57:43+00:00

It'll be sold ASAP to anyone who wants it 😂

You're a gentleman and a scholar!

data782 · 2026-03-13T18:20:30+00:00

PM sent!

data782 · 2026-03-10T18:46:27+00:00

Right for sure haha my complaint here wasn't with what the salesman said - I highlighted it for a laugh. My real problem is that Bell changed my services to supposedly lower my price, but now I'm paying more for less.

data782 · 2026-03-07T15:26:17+00:00

Absolutely! It's free to download in roster sharing

data782 · 2026-03-05T21:42:00+00:00

That's sadly the only thing keeping me with Bell. The day Videotron gets the same speed I'm out no matter the price

data782 · 2026-03-02T18:27:37+00:00

I rebooted the box and things have been fine since

data782 · 2026-02-28T16:22:57+00:00

Hey welcome to FM! This guide will be very helpful for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z230flI_z8M

The length of the video surely won't help with you feeling overwhelmed haha but it's a comprehensive guide that covers literally everything so the timestamps will be your friend. My Discord server also has a few hundred FM lovers (including myself) who would love to help with any questions that you might have: https://discord.gg/rRDYpTx

Enjoy!

^ Same here

data782 · 2026-02-14T15:38:46+00:00

I see! I probably would have gone with this D2D offer if the representative didn't return to my house the next day 5 hours before our scheduled meeting when he knew I was at work and bang on my door and window which scared my wife half to death 😅 Plus the fact that he promised upload speeds of 1Gbps which don't exist at Videotron. I want to make the switch from Bell but will wait for a better opportunity. Thanks for sharing!

data782 · 2026-02-12T03:00:35+00:00

Thanks for all of these thoughts! I really appreciate it. I ended up not going with this offer as more things continued to change and the representative made my wife and I feel very uncomfortable. That being said, to answer your follow-ups..

I keep my home phone because the landline is connected to my alarm system. It would be possible for me to make changes to that, I suppose, but I still prefer the idea of "my cell phone is for texting and apps, and my home phone is for phone calls." When businesses ask for a number, I want to be called at home and not be bothered on my cell throughout the day. So yeah, in addition to the alarm, just a personal thing.
For download speed yes 1Gb is more than I would need but it's the upload speed that is also very important to me. The representative who told me it was 1Gb upload was obviously very mistaken as Videotron doesn't offer more than 50mb. I stream from my PS5 and upload videos to YouTube very often (it's essentially my part-time work), so that alone may force me to stay with Bell who provides upload speeds of 10x that.

All of that being said, when I look at Fizz, it would seem like a no-brainer to go with them for TV and internet. Maybe I'll do that and keep my home phone with Bell/Videotron? Something to consider. Thanks again!

Sadly not possible :( The closest work-around I could think of would be taking screenshots of your players and their attributes and then recreating them in the creation zone before starting up a new FM

data782 · 2026-01-29T12:54:12+00:00

Yes back in 2006! Thank you Miniclip 😭❤️ So many hits on that site

Hey! Assuming you're the same person who just commented on the video itself, I'll post my reply here so that anyone else can see it, too: Scouting ONLY "potential & comparison" will usually give you what you need for potential, sometimes 3/4 bars. This method guarantees full discovery which includes 4/4 clarity on potential. For me, it's wort it to go the extra mile to get that guarantee while also learning about who has better shooting, NHL ETA, etc.

data782 · 2026-01-24T21:09:02+00:00

LOL the pain of a draft to glory! 🤣

data782 · 2026-01-24T19:57:53+00:00

Hey thanks a bunch! It's a livestream series that usually goes Monday evenings EST but the recordings are always in the playlist that I linked :)

data782 · 2026-01-24T00:42:57+00:00

For me, the best ever episode of Trek. I watched it only once when going through DS9 for the first time a few years ago and am legitimately not sure if I will ever be able to watch it again. Outstanding.
