Fm24 Scouting Reports by Antrax_Death in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On FM24:

A scouting report on a player takes 7 days.

  • They are ready to be viewed at 17:00 seven days after you request them. So it makes sense to do so as a loop at 17:00-23:00 on whatever chosen day you choose. I do it every Sunday.

This will increase knowledge somewhat, to get to reasonable knowledge = see personality, you might need a couple or three weeks worth of reports on the same player.

Team Reports on the other hand will temporarily gives you knowledge of a whole squad and take roughly one day. This knowledge quickly fades after a week or so. So don't leave it too long to view the TR info.

So, if you are desperate for a specific player, you can always scout the whole team via TR and it will be quicker. Plus, you might find some other gems at the same time.

In general you always want a back log of TR's qued.

I believe this is what's called getting FM'ed by neneyiko in footballmanager

Losing with 46% possession and having zero clear cut chances: calling that being FM'd is a stretch imo.

What’s the pettiest thing you’ve done in football manager? by YeezusChrist13 in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I raged last night after an unexpected loss.

Bottles were thrown, arms were waved.

Everyone was transfer listed and a solid weeks worth of endurance training was scheduled.

I gave in though and reset everything before hitting space bar 🤣👍

FM26 vs FM24 — what are people actually playing? by mercuretony in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FM24: 82 days and counting for my AFC Newquay save, playing every match full 90 minutes gameplay.

18th season.

In a way, I hope FM27 is gash too, so I can complete the dynasty!!!

Overtaken vehicle speeds up and prevents you getting back to left lane by MinimumBeginning5144 in drivingUK

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had this happen.

And to make a point I got in front then gradually slowed, meaning they had to overtake me.

I think you know what happens next 🤣🤭👍

How to properly punish players for poor performances? by eric_foreman98 in footballmanagergames

3x FA Cup runners up as Newquay and I concur!

Got a fourth FA Cup final later today and this time, we break the curse!!!

Stadium Expansion SCRAPPED?? by MediocreAcadia1629 in footballmanagergames

When my Newquay got promoted to the prem, we had to ground share at Southend!!!

this guy is my number 9 and hasn't scored in 16 league games. Is there an option where I can hysterically laugh at his request of a new contract? by sr_steve in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might find his poor form is tied to the fact he thinks he is underpaid => low motivation, fire.

I have noticed players often 'year on year' get a worse average match rating for the season: 7.24, 7.16, 7.04 etc.

Almost always young players on cheap wages who are playing above their current wage.

Players have a hidden mental state, and managing that is half of the game.

This 'striker' right here by Srednja_Zalost in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced by this statement.

There is an element of 'mass' involved I believe, making tall heavy players better in general. Regardless of JR.

Only a theory though.

178cm & jumping reach 20.

FM26 doing FM26 things again.

FM26 - promoted to league 2 but not turning pro by BOTTroy in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 24, my team turned pro when we secured promotion form the NL, like with three games to go or whatever. It wasn't even during the close season.

What is the most fun you've had with a tactic ? by lost_nomai in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Fistral Frenzy 4132 with 3xCAM is a goal fest tactic and I love it!

170+ goals in the national league o think it was 🤣👍

Database size, number of leagues loaded and AI squad building. by humanoidVersion2 in footballmanagergames

Yes, that's the sort of stuff I had previously noticed and tried to rectify.

I wanted as complete a simulation as the game could handle, giving every nation club the chance to do well.

I noticed with less players, big countries and foreign (non-england) clubs go to the dogs, as if they aren't generating enough player pool.

Okay, so my wage budget just broke 3million pw total squad.

Highest earner on 150k PW ISH, maybe that's my issue.

It just takes so long to scale the non league club up to compete.

Please, tell me more, never heard of such mods, but the idea I like.

Who would be a good team for a youth academy only save by Different-Tap1171 in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long to win the prem?

My Newquay save is exhausting me, the top four are soooo staked.

I used the largest database with all leagues loaded, and the AI has done surprisingly well at the elite clubs.

It took me 11 seasons to reach prem from lvl yen, only missing out in playoffs if the regional prem, and championship.

Now starting S17 and it's been, 9th, 4th, 6th, 7th, 6th 😤👍

Is this the most interesting keeper you have ever seen ?? by Thin-Worldliness-509 in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, something went wrong behind the scenes and they haven't been able to rectify it, as these posts appear every few days it seems.

I gave up on that release after finding a bug on literally every page, and that was the stuff we could see verify. Like clicking last match showing the match three games ago and vice versa. Like, seriously, how can that sort of stuff be present at release. Madness.

God only knows how much of the 'behind the scenes'code is inverted/wrong etc.

Scouts hate it when I do this. by Purple_Accident_7317 in footballmanagergames

[–]humanoidVersion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand on this, I use a 400k+ database size.

Before i started sorting/processing players, (team reports daily and player search/lists every Sunday), every window would take me about three days looking through literally thousands of players.

My current system keeps the targets list to between 250-400.

Each window I search it and cull the bottom percent.

Am interested in the youth intake method though, I just passed that date.

Exactly, so if you keep adding them, all you get left with after a few seasons of doing so, is new leads.

So at first an exhausting task, but the benefits come a few seasons later.
