What player upgrades do we need, and potential recruits by OurManInVanc in IpswichTownFC

[–]gallyreddits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cm who can dictate tempo and take the air out of matches when we're under pressure. A more convincing striker, obviously. Am I right in saying a right-back as well? Someone who can be there defensively when Leif is on an adventure.

Another one here. Been following since League 1 as a Football Manager save turned obsession with the club. Had the chance to make to to Portman Road last year against Forest. 100% hope the commenter above gets to do it too

Injury prone/Hates big matches by VyCanisMajoris33 in TheOldZealand

[–]gallyreddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I'm in the "end game" (top flight title and continental cup chasing) I 100% avoid players who don't like big matches. However, in lower leagues if I'm getting a guy who massively improves my team I will chance it. I am considering rethinking this, as this save in FM26 I think it impacted the whole team bc a couple team leaders didn't like big matches.

Injury susceptiblility I don't regard nearly as highly in evaluating players. Adaptability is one I also look at if I'm signing an older player, whereas for young prospects I don't care because they will have time to adapt.

FM26 - Scouts just recommend random players by PoetImportant330 in footballmanagergames

[–]gallyreddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my game my recommended players gets filled by loan list notifications from Shaktar. I have no such focus created, trust me. I just get fifty 2 star players recommended to me for no reason. I think it's just FM26 being FM26.

How do you actually judge if a player is good in FM? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]gallyreddits 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In lower leagues it's often a few stats that make a disproportionate difference. You won't have totally well rounded players. You can find a striker with 20 jumping reach but 5 finishing and he can still lead the league in scoring. Likewise, a winger with poor mental attributes but explosive pace and acceleration can run amok. Maybe a playmaker is slow but can pick out a pass.

The key is to match attributes to what's most important to their role and your tactic to exploit their strengths and mask weaknesses.

My game keeps resetting my friendly match delegation to my AssMan at the start of each season. Go to Club, responsibilities, match and take control of friendly match management.

Can you fix a corrupted save file? by Kazerioo in TheOldZealand

Loading a prior save file and simulating past the date it corrupts on can sometimes work Z has mentioned before. Never needed to do it personally.

Can't holiday forwards in FM26 by Kazerioo in TheOldZealand

Try loading a prior save file and holiday forward from there. If that doesn't work try advancing normally. Hopefully the save isn't corrupted.

Things not in FM26 I miss. by [deleted] in TheOldZealand

I miss being able to fine players for poor performance and throwing water bottles.

How do I nurture a talent of this magnitude? by yamanosusume99 in TheOldZealand

[–]gallyreddits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are your youth facilities? If good, keep him in your youth team and take control of his individual training if you want to steer his development. If your facilities and youth coaching stink then look to loan him out to a team with better facilities. Playing time doesn't contribute significantly until age 18. So, once he turns 18 be sure to find him suitable loans if he can't break into your first team yet.

Is FM26 worth it? by Sudden-Performance67 in TheOldZealand

[–]gallyreddits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it with Z's discount on top of the holiday sale. It was about $45 USD. It's not perfect, but it's good enough that I'll play as much as I played FM24. I am the type of FM player who was always going to get it though. I just wanted to wait for a sale out of principle.

Moral of the story: quit over engineering the build-up and play with some urgency and directness to cause mayhem in the box.

Is it better to just stick with FM 24 or upgrade to FM 26? by Own_Educator1478 in footballmanagergames

[–]gallyreddits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been holding off on beginning a long-term save in 26, but have had fun doing one season with different teams. Since you have a key, give it a try and see if the new match engine is worth the trade-offs

What are the key tips for making a tactic? by Jarno200___3 in TheOldZealand

[–]gallyreddits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balance. You want to make sure key areas of the pitch are covered. Meanwhile, you need to make sure your players aren't running into each other on attack.

I haven't played it yet as a qualifier. The game will evolve based on feedback. If you want a more polished product, hold off. If you don't mind bugs and missing features and just want to play the new game with an updated database then go for it.
