No worldies so far, but he did manage 4 league goals in 9 starts and 2 champions league goals in 4 starts, including the only goal in the champions league final. Not bad at 15. He's put on 5lb since he generated though. I think his signing on bonus went on pies.

I don't know how overrated Arsenal's players are in their Determination but realistically that 12 could plummet 2 points a year until he's 18 and signs for a big club.

The boy has Icardi, Navas (Yeah I know a keeper won't help much but he has a great personality) and a few other regens in with him. All of whom are professional or perfectionist.

I've only ever had Spirited players cause trouble, or at the very best just completely fail to acclimatise and get moved on, so now I'm really wary of signing them. Is it really that good of a personality type?

The two I can think of off the top of my head are Adrian at West Ham and Arthur now of Barcelona, both of whom wouldn't stop kicking off unless they played every single game and got a payrise every year.

Full game (and editor) is out now. edit: Doesn't look like Spirited is a high Professionalism personality after all. Either they changed it or the list I read was always wrong. sassassin fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Nov 1, 2018 |

with the new mentoring system, am I no longer able to set up mentoring for players outside the first team squad? I want them to have good personalities by the time they get there, not have to start mentoring them at 20/21

You can still move players to the first team squad (for training and mentoring) but make them available to the youth/reserve squads to actually play, or set up a mentoring group between the kids (surely SOME of them aren't assholes) but the first team squad and the youth don't spend enough time together to mentor each other I guess.

Yep. It's a realism thing. Your most promising kids should be involved in first team training much earlier than 20/21 regardless.

pffft my most promising kids are all on loan at Napoli and Monaco and Arsenal and poo poo, just waiting for a first teamer to piss me off and open up a spot for them  e: actually it sounds like this mechanic might be a really strong discouragement from loaning out promising youngsters because I can only imagine how the AI's handling of mentoring will wreck them

Collecting all the wonderkids and hoarding them in your youth system is way less viable a strategy than it used to be. Development is generally slower and less consistent, and if you don't manage things properly you can ruin a lot of investments. Better by far to stick with only a handful of kids, get them in the first team, give them games and quality mentoring and build the rest of your team out of ready-made veterans.

Found an unattached 16 year old regen Welsh winger in September 2018 (by found I mean saw him during highlights of a Wales u21s game one of my players scored in). Didn't know they turned up that early, let alone without a club. Maybe they were short and pulled him from the crowd. He's an ugly bastard but 15 dribbling and Premier League potential is well worth £250/week imo.

I just wanna know if they've sorted out the injury bugs and the state of the match engine. Might just hold off until a sale really unless this is a massive step up from 18.

I haven't noticed any injury bugs in ~400 hours of play. You get the occasional unlucky flurry, and at one point there were way more match injuries than training ones but the balance seems right now. As long as you don't overwork the players it's fine. Release match engine feels a bit weird to me. Seeing a lot of stuff I didn't in testing (like different types of headers I didn't even realise were missing). And a lot of nice through balls to my slow DLF (pacey strikers will probably score bucketloads). Overall I like it but wide AM roles really suck imo. I'm using ML/R wingers on support as my outlets as anything more aggressive goes and stands in the box to watch the game. I didn't play 18 but it's a huge improvement over 16 & 17.

I think this years edition is really good, the quality of life improvements have really added up. It seems wingers and inside forwards actually take players on this year too, every highlight with them last year always had them getting tackled almost instantly. Injuries were crazy in the beta but I saw they’ve changed em in the patch

I've been having a very underwhelming season with Leverkusen. Running tiki taka without barça quality players was probably not a good idea, switching to gegenpressen seems to be working much better. The new Tactics and Training are a real step p forward for the game.

I’m doing LLM like always and I had a sequence where the keepers hoofed the ball to each other’s penalty area 6 times in a row. Other than that the AI seems to love long balls to wingers but who can blame them when they’ve got 15 pace.

 Friedrich "New Labour" Banza Seriously I've always hated the way they've handled positions in this game. Almost anyone at a top club in the original DB has green and yellow all over the midfield. Kevin Phillips was an academy + lower league right back before someone decided he was really a striker! But if Friedrich here plays on the right for too long, he'll forget how to play on the left. But even though the tactics screen shows a bright red "DO NOT PICK" it doesn't really...matter if someone's out of position, it just dings your decisions a little bit, right? Or is that an FM urban legend (there are probably a ton of those) Fat Lowtax fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Nov 4, 2018 |

The Ui makes a much bigger deal out of positional familiarity than it should, yes. SI have serious issues with communicating information, be it the blatantly harmful assistant advice, the role and duty suitability icons (scary red warning signs for friendly tips with no mechanical effect), shockingly bad technical writing (when your players say they want "more Quickness training" they don't mean the Quickness training session, they want anything that works on Quickness attributes; the same words are used for different concepts within a single conversation all the time) etc. A player chosen out of position suffers a penalty to their Decisions attribute, and that's it. From the research side the main purpose of setting positions is to help the AI pick teams, it has almost nothing to do with how good a player is in a position.

If picking a player out of position affects their Decisions, it should absolutely also affect Off The Ball and Positioning too, imo. The main reason I've found to not play players out of position is that they'll get mad eventually about it

Clubs thinking that making one of my players unhappy means they can make even lower, now non-negotiable bids for him. I'll keep him here out of spite if nothing else.

I was close to (but under) the wage budget when I got promoted, so I went on holiday for a bit, since I didn't have the budget to sign anyone. Big mistake. My Director of Football has signed 18 players - for £250-£500 p/w each - meaning that we've gone massively over our budget once you factor in %Yearly increases, Promotion increases, etc. Except, I can only offer £250 p/w now for Key Players, but my DoF can - and has - brought in players for more than that as Hot Prospects. So now, I'm financially cluster-hosed and have no realistic chance of avoiding relegation. At least before, I just had no chance of avoiding relegation.
