I just saw a newgen with the personality type "Mercenary." I'd never seen that one before. I assume it's just super low loyalty, with maybe high ambition. Any other super rare personality types you guys have seen?

One thing that FM has over real life, is that when people try to force their way out, if you stand firm they usually give up. For example, my star defender has handed in four transfer requests so far this period, because I have it set to auto-reject bids for him, but other teams keep trying (Set an asking price of 60 million, they're not even offering half that. Got tired of telling them to gently caress off). Every two days now he puts in a fresh transfer request, which I reject.

I just started playing 19 for the first time and got hit with a hard brexit immediately.  17-player cap for overseas players, and pretty much every scout report I get now is 'This player will probably fail to get a work permit', even for well-established players.

All of my scouts are convinced everyone will fail, but the only limit on who gets it is their salary. Mbappe will fail to get a work permit? Sure. If he's on less than £7k a week. But guess what? He wants more than that just to get out of bed in the morning!

I got the message about Brexit happening "soon" and that details were to follow. It was a year or so in game time before they were confirmed, though there was to be no changes. First time I've gotten a soft Brexit.

Masonity posted:So, my 6'7 monster of a striker is being a sulky baby, and after 4 years and 86 league goals I might have to let him go. I'll get a fair bit more than the £10 million i signed him for at least! He went on to become Arsenal's record scorer at 22, and has now surpassed Kane to become England's top ever goal scorer at the grand old age of 24. Harry is the top Premier League goalscorer with 278 still, so Tommy should manage to pass him midway through next season at 25. He's on 253 with roughly a goal a game for the past 3-4 years.

Yeah, this is actually the case (I had to look up the rules section of the league to confirm it). It's annoying, because I had dumped 3/4 month's worth of scout reports telling me the guys I was looking at would all fail one. Thanks, game designers!

What tactics are you using to get scoring like that? I'm a ways away from the top leagues but I can't seem to find a tactic that consistently even creates chances in this version. Most goals are coming on crosses from the WB to the opposite W on the far post or from long shots in the middle of the field. I basically don't see anything else.

Here's a fun self-imposed challenge: Once you've successfully built the biggest trophy-munching megabastard in the world and you’ve grown bored with it, resign and go on holiday for a bit. Then return to the same team when it inevitably sacks your successor 4-12 months later. Marvel at how spectacularly the AI has hosed everything in so short a time. Race the clock to try to unfuck everything before you get sacked too because the minimum expectation is doing the league/cup/CL triple.

Caf posted:What tactics are you using to get scoring like that? I'm a ways away from the top leagues but I can't seem to find a tactic that consistently even creates chances in this version. I spent my first few years playing a 5-2-3 with wingbacks. Super hard closing down, super direct, three strikers. I then transitioned to an almost 4-4-2 (4-2-4?) With wingbacks and an AML/R rather than fullbacks and wingers. veritcal tiki-taka, still stupid closing down when out of possession. I've pretty much built a team with the best players in the world in every respective position. With my original tactic I'd have 30-40% possession but score tons anyway. Now days I completely dominate games, with 60-70% possession. Both have gone narrow with underlapping though. I guess my "thing" is narrow underlapping attacks and a hard tackling high line closing down the second it loses possession and forcing mistakes. Edit: Tommy is scoring a goal a game for England for the AI too though. I think he'd score in a nunnery. Not sure how much my system enables him. Going from one of three strikers to one of two (with the other more of a provider) has helped though. My newer tactic was inspired by the Invincibles, with him as my Thierry.

Sure, bu now everyone's salary has doubled, except for the guys who have already demanded a transfer, morale and cohesion are in the toilet, and they've signed on a bunch of overpaid useless guys who don't fit any really useful tactical role to boot.

It's also available in the Xbox Game Pass for PC beta at the cool cost of $5/month (on top of a ton of other cool and good games). But there you have the disadvantage that you literally can't mod the game or take advantage of Steam Workshop stuff.

FM20 is going to be available on Google Stadia, where you can play it through your browser. No idea on cost, but it's an interesting idea. Think I'll stick with the regular one for now, but if it is a success, it could make a big difference. The idea of having FM available at any time on my work computer is terrifying though...

sebzilla posted:Pele challenge, 1000 career goals. So, Tommy is 25, about to turn 26 before the next season starts, and he's kinda on track? After eleven seasons he has 280 league goals but 422 club goals in all competitions thanks to absolutely tearing up the cups. I haven't counted friendlies. He also has 93 England goals to bring his total to 515 in all competitions. In the last 5 seasons he's averaged 52 club goals and 11 international goals a season for a total of 63. If he can keep that form up for 7 seasons (32, about to turn 33) he should be around 30-40 goals shy going into the twilight of his career. He was Arsenal's top ever league goalscorer at 22, England's at 24 and at 25 he beat a recently retired Harry Kane (who's England record he also took) to the most ever Premiership goals. The board are building a new stadium and I genuinely won't be upset if they choose to name it after him instead of me!

Dumb question: is there any in-game point whatsoever to me (the manager) drawing a salary above $1/yr? Because the rest of that money could be better spent on giving my lovely VNL mid-table Boston Utd squad an extra quality player or two next season so I can loving finally make an actual push to break into league football after spending four seasons managing this club FM16 if that matters at all.

Supposedly your players respect you more the more money you make (absolutely or relative to how much they make, not even sure) but that could just be a longstanding FM urban legend for all I know. It could be just relative reputation actually having the effect and people getting confused because obviously your rep is a big determiner of your wage. Otherwise yeah, the only effect is that how much money the team still owes you is one of the 45 variables taken into consideration when deciding whether to sack your rear end.
