The draft mode is proper laggy especially during the draft pick screen which is kind of an important part of it, and it crashes 50% of time me or my mate change our tactic, even slightly. Patch soon pls.

I don't even load the mls.

I have a hypothetical question. How does not loading a league affect player development and stuff? Like I've alway wanted to take over a Premier team and use it to farm and develop American regens in an effort to win the cup. If you don't load the mls would you get better or worse americans?

Do all American regens start in mls?

I have a bit of a vacation before starting a new job and want to try getting back into FM after stumbling around Arsenal and almost getting them relegated in FM14. My managerial style was akin to a retard humping a doorknob. I have FM15 currently.

1. Whats some bullshit I need to watch out for? Crosses from RB/LBs i believe when I was reading the thread for instance

2. Should I start with a very good team a-la Arsenal/Man City/PSG/Barca or go from the bottom up? By bottom I mean a lovely team in Italy, or like League 1/Championship.

3. Is it generally more advisable to fit players into a tactic that I want to play, or figure out what my players do and keep a fluid tactic?

I think I'm going to try FM classic this time since the full FM experience is way to overwhelming.

How the gently caress do you identify who is a good transfer for your team? Jus better stats in the role you need?


And how do you find players.....just assign scouts regionally

God contracts confuse the poo poo out of me I wish there was a way to automatically respond players I wanted without getting completely hosed

What are some good back 4 and midfield signings for a championship side? Blackburb rovers in a 4-3-3 downloaded tactic?

Its FBs(a), CBs(d) behind a BWM(s)

Got a centermid (s) and centermid (a) next to each other and than 2 wingers wide attack and an advanced foward attack.

Playing control, very fluid and like 16 team instructions.

I only have one decent option for that bwm(s) role but im happy with my attacking players even though weve not scored or conceded in 5 leauge games.

Personally I learned a lot more when I started in League 2 because there was so little to work with. Those tiny % make a huge difference at that level so you learn to work with what you got, rather than trying to apply your philosophy to the team.

i wanted to do championship cause i figured i'd have a bit of a budget and be able to attract talent but :/

Right I understand but remember even a "League 2" team can attract top class players when your team becomes good enough, for example, the Champions League.

If you mean you want to sign up players you know already, yeah it's going to be tough. You basically have to promote the team to the Premier league before all the players you know retire :/

I didn't even go after players I know, I don't really know anyone except world class players, but I went after like...Balanta, Mammana, Andrija Zivkovic, Arango and all of them are not interested in playing in the Championship with me

e: Does anyone have coach hiring recommendations? My guys are being poached and my staff is getting low

Any recommendations for a beast, game breaking plug and play tactic for FM 14?

I would be interested in what you guys run on fm16. I am currently running this

http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/share-download-fm-16-tactics/358219-bluths-16-3-tweak.html



as Blackburn Rovers, not arsenal, in my second season. I'm having trouble filling the tequestra and CF role.

I signed some old striker from the prem and I have a nice American regen striker who looks like a wonderkid but both are poo poo CF's.

I'm also not sure if having attacking wingbacks is too attacking. I have alot of 3-2,3-3 score lines but i don't know how to ensure my wingers pick up any attacking slack

i also don't know poo poo about football tactics so i am scared to change anything as i dont know how to balance any changes.

I have great wingers, as I got Josh Murphy, Alejandro Bedoya (who is great in either central roles and a decent poor mans tequestra), and Ben Marshall so I'm interested in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1/4-3-2-1 with wide wingers

anyone have anything?

Change your WBs to FB-support and central defenders to CB-defend or even Limited CB-Defend if they have poor passing and mental stats.
I did this and i got opened up and lost 4 matches in a row 2-1, 2-0, 1-0,0-0,3-1 and idk what the gently caress to mostly bottom half teams....I thought i'd be more stout but good lord, what the gently caress. I kept the same creative midfield roles though and the CF....

I should apparently train Jose Reyes as a sweeper keeper....are sweeper keepers poo poo in FM?

If you want a good tactic I can give you one. It's not great on possession but it will score goals and not concede those insanely frustrating ones from deep crosses. I won the league with Red Star (Ligue 1) in the third season (promoted, 5th, title) which is loving ridiculous given the team I had and the fact PSG were around.

Currently using it with Sporting in Spain. First season I came fourth and qualified for Champions League despite being picks for relegation.

He's not impressive for a 20 year old but he's not awful. He'll dribble about a lot without passing it and then fluff one on ones because of his balance and composure. But he's got enough attributes to be useful in the Championship and bottom of the Premier League.

If you can still tutor him do it as "fairly determined" is a bad personality type, and he's already complaining about going to training. But then if your whole squad is complaining you're probably doing too much, so either add a few more rest days or lower the overall intensity.

do i rest before or after matches

If I wanted to run a 4-2-2-2 similar to Manchester United in 07ish with Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney what would I do?

It was a 4-2-2-2 right?

Also, should I play an IF who cuts inside on the same side as a wingback? or thats like too much attack and no defensive duties

I've simmed foward and purchased a regen thats matured into someone whose got 17 crossing, 13 Pace/Acc, 7 Passing, 16 Dribbling, 13 marking and 13 tackling.....with 3 balance and some poo poo mentals (7 concentration, 6 Determination)..... How should I get the most of him? Make him a dumbass FB who crosses?

I believe he is refering to NBAs 2K myCareer and assosciation mode.

Mycareer/myplayer is loving sick and you negotiate contracts, sign for teams, get endorsements, rgularly hi milestones, give inteviews yhat affect how much fans/teams/owners like you which affects endoresements and $$$.

I play a 4-3-3 and got a FB with 17 crossing. I play with an AP as CF, two wide support Wingers who are by far my best players. They can play inside foward as well, and one can be a trequesta both with two bars off full.

I want my FB to cross a ton....how do I make that happen while preserving the ability of my wingers to create and finish?

Usually do LW(s)-CF(a)-RW (s) / CM(s), AP(a), DLP(d)/ LB(s) BPP(d) CB(d) RB(my new guy)

im afraid if i ask for overlap or set him to attacking it will diminish the role of my wings and ill have a winger and my fb sitting in the same spot in attack...
