remember this is the company that pissed off a lot of people because they put Brexit into the game and it turns out that an ultra-hard Brexit makes it quite hard to sign foreign players

Julio Cruz posted:remember this is the company that pissed off a lot of people because they put Brexit into the game I didn't mind them having it in, because it is supposed to be a historical simulation, I just want the option to *not* have it because it's not a core part of the sport and it models a real-life externality that no decent person would support. Not a great parallel, but the only Zelda games that I do now own (apart from the awful CDI ones) are Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks because those are controlled entirely using the stylus. I don't have a problem with them trying a new movement style, but the fact that they didn't include an option for classic cross & button controls is just baffling to me.

They'll just add a new injury with a mandatory 2 week "send home" result so our wonderkids will be getting the corona in 2033. Just like real life. Having a custom schedule for the first season+ is standard practice anyway.

I take it, then, that it will accurately model every club below the megabastard level being skint broke and half the sub-top-flight clubs in the world going into bankruptcy/administration as they no doubt will over the next 4-6 months? NEW FEATURES: All transfer budgets set to $0 Only sugar daddy clubs may buy players, all other clubs may only sell

It's something we're being told to keep track of - new contracts, potential pay cuts etc. Effort is being put into figuring out how much less money is flying about, and how many clubs are pushing the boat out even more thinking there might be an opportunity to get ahead of the spendthrift opposition (this will be 9/10 clubs imo). The financial side has been too easy for years. Not enough corruption.

So, uh, how far into the red can you go, and/or how long for, until it becomes a problem? I've stayed well within my transfer/wage budget, and the board haven't warned about anything, but it'd be handy to know whether I need to start offloading players or praying for a moneymaking cup run.

There should be a page telling you where you stand on FFP rules but it's always worth looking at your club's bank balance as even if you stick to your budgets overspending will effect future budgets. Much like assistants, owners are bad at playing the game. Sometimes you have to trick them into giving you stuff with funny clauses, sometimes you have to leave half that £40m transfer budget in the bank. But the financial side is pretty generous (far too generous in fact) so you have to work hard to completely ruin a football club Redknapp-style.

Small clubs normally just get owner infusions at the end of the season. Big clubs just reduce transfer revenue which is honestly more annoying.

Got FM 2020 in a bundle or sale a bit ago and started a vanilla LLM. Overall pretty fun, but the details just make me go uuhhh??
Nothing game breaking that I've noticed, just the usual quirks of LLM FM games which SI seem to never improve. Overall OK, 7/10 good for nerds. Shazback fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Sep 10, 2020 |

You might need to bribe the agent more in some of your negotiations and it seems weird to warn a player about a card that you think was unwarranted so I don't get the issue there. Maybe it should let you and the result is the player thinks you are an idiot or something

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:You might need to bribe the agent more in some of your negotiations and it seems weird to warn a player about a card that you think was unwarranted so I don't get the issue there. Maybe it should let you and the result is the player thinks you are an idiot or something Most of the players don't have an agent, but perhaps they simulate themselves as an agent or something? For the red card, I think that it does make sense. A warning when the code of conduct is a fine is reasonable (after all, the player did get a red card), but you can still dispute the 2-game suspension if it was harsh. Even if the result is the player thinking you're deranged, that should be the manager's choice. Specifically I was thinking of a case where a player was on a yellow & instructed after that to ease off tackles, then picked up a straight red before half-time. Assman said that the red was harsh, but I still wanted to give the player a warning because even a yellow instead of a red would have been too much. I clicked on "appeal the red card" and it removed the option to fine / warn the player at the same time, and best I can see it automatically selects that you don't discipline the player, regardless of what you have pre-selected.

As far as I know, unless Favorite/Disliked modifiers come into play, a player with multiple offers will always sign with the highest reputation team that makes them an offer they/their agent accepts, and money and squad status have nothing to do with it beyond determining what they/their agent will accept. And actually I think the effect of the Favorite/Disliked modifiers is to raise/lower their contract requirements, and doesn’t affect their choosing between acceptable offers. Reputation is displayed on a 1-10 scale (by half-stars up to 5) but under the hood it’s tracked on a 1-10000 scale. Two teams with actual Reputations of 5788 and 5917 will both show up as three stars, but as far as I’ve ever been able to tell a player with acceptable offers from both will always sign with the latter.

Shazback posted:Got FM 2020 in a bundle or sale a bit ago and started a vanilla LLM. £300/week is a minimum wage job so if you're a full time club you're probably not going to get a lot of interest offering less than £400/week, realistically. Club vision is a chairman thing, you're not supposed to be able to influence it right away. It's not your club, you're just head coach and statistically not going to be around two years from now. Player ratings being based on goals and flashy stuff is extremely realistic as well imo. Your players thinking they're important when they're not is also very realistic.

If 400£/week is a "minimum" for players to be interested that would make sense (relocation, etc.). But then, why do clubs have players on 0£/week? I had a player leave my club on a "release as free" to join a club at the other end of the country and is signed on a 0£/week contract. For a part-time club I would even find this to be an impressive bit of attention to detail if players' location was somehow meaningful, and this could both explain the 0£/week contracts and be something the -human- player can leverage (e.g. a player released locally after 6-12 months who is still a free agent would be open to a "pay as you play" deal to stay in the game, 0£/week but per match bonuses). For club vision / board requests during contract negotiations it's just weird that individual players I sign start negotiations with a dedicated page where they can make requests such as "improve quality of defense" or "improve the coaching team", but when I negotiate my own contact there is no such option. Again, having the option doesn't mean it should be accepted or anything. The situation is just that after 4 years at the club where we went from being tipped for relegation to promotion candidates in the league above, while staying at around 60% of the wage budget they gave me in the past 3 seasons (the club now has over 500k£ in the bank in Vanarama National), I want them to improve the training facilities. Sure, I could go to make a board request, but it seems a missed opportunity that players can request things but the manager can't. I don't want to make a board ultimatum since I think we can reach the playoffs and I don't want to be sacked before that, but at the same time I won't sign a new contract unless they improve facilities. So for now I just run down my contract while chasing promotion, then have to either make an ultimatum with literal days remaining on my contract (lol what) or sign a new contract and make the ultimatum afterwards and accept being sacked if they refuse. Either way is fine, since as an LLM being unemployed again isn't really a big deal, but this just feels like something not working as expected. I know FM isn't a role-playing game, but it's part of the immersion for me to not feel like I'm just playing excel simulator.

In the current version you can't set 8 players to "Attack Goalkeeper" on corners, so it's bad. I miss being able to dole out major spinal injuries to enemy keepers in exchange for a reasonable amount of red cards per season (26)

The good news is you're getting the emails, where as before they'd have had your account before you knew about it. If you're going to play anything on Epic, absolutely do not put any kind of payment info or personal details in there.

I used to get a lot of email spam from epic about account hacking attempts. Not so coincidentally it started exactly when Fortnite started to catch on. It ended as soon as I enabled 2FA on my account.
