Inverting the Pyramid is great but has a high chance of causing you to implement outdated tactics with minimal success and get fired. The Verrou will not work in 2017 (probably)

Walton Simons posted:I managed to win Euro 2012 on (I think) FM10 with my dumb Pro Evo tactic which is kind of similar. One CB, two defensive FBs, two anchor men, a B2B CM, a Trequartista in the AM position with a poacher and two inside forwards. It was great fun and Nathan Delfouneso scored me the winning goal IIRC. FM11 was a bit smarter and any AI team would score a hatful from crosses against me. Your tactic was hot garbage and got me fired from Newcastle before Christmas Actually maybe Newcastle are just terrible, who can say?

7 (Seven) English Pounds. Picked it up earlier after skipping 2016. What's new apart from the goofy manager designer?

Walton Simons posted:Grrrr Turn one of your more ballin' DCs into a DM? I don't have the patience or the time for challenge games these days really. I still like the idea of only signing players who have you as their favoured club (or manager). Maybe include your senior players and coaching staff in that too, I don't know. The scouting for it would be a mess but you should end up with ludicrous levels of team spirit.

Mentals are the problem there. Stick him at wing back and have him run forever in an extremely Antonio Valencia way.

Aren't stats actually out of 100 and the 1-20 is a slight abstraction? 16 is still strictly better than 15 but not necessarily by 5%

Bogan Krkic posted:omg this is even better than having your 2 scouts be Barry and Alex Hunter and only signing players called Barry and Alex I thought about doing this but also allowing myself to sign anyone with the surname Hunt or Hunter with the hope of convincing them to be scouts when they retired. Then I realised it was a stupid loving idea.

When I was racking up the big hours it was usually while hanging out with my uni flatmate, half-playing FM and half-watching some tv show or other. I play every game but don't necessarily pay that much attention.

Rory Delap long thrower extraordinaire was a weird episode in football. Towel undershirts and giving away corners instead of long throws and Wenger demanding kick-ins and touchline/advertising hoardings shenanigans. What a time to be alive.

So in my career game in FM17 I started out unemployed with Sunday League experiene,, got a job at Worcester City, managed to get them promoted via playoffs in my first full season and consolidate in the next league the year after that. Jumped ship to Shamrock in Ireland halfway through the following season and somehow pulled off an unbeaten domestic season (January to December) in league and cups. That led to me being offered the Ireland international job out of the blue, which seems unlikely but not impossible. The weird part came a month later, before I'd even played a game for Ireland, when I got a message from Denmark offering me their job. Definitely can't see the logic there, even with my presumably enhanced reputation from the Ireland appointment.

kingturnip posted:No, I did once work out that they had a net transfer spend of over £1bn over the course of about 15 seasons in one of my saves, though. Honestly that seems conservative, no way they aren't spending at least £1bn over the next 15 years.

Obliterati posted:I'm certain there was a football management game in the early naughts that let you bribe opponents to throw the game (which could be leaked to the media) but I can't remember which it was Ultimate Soccer Manager (2) It also had a cool set piece creator where you could tell your players to punt it at goal direct from the kickoff and a weird in depth training planner and all sorts of cool poo poo. It was ahead of its time in a lot of ways when CM was still text only. e: this was back in the mid-late 90s so might not be the one you're thinking of.

Walton Simons posted:It probably actually is, I just took my assman's advice, we're now mauling the league leaders away from home, we've had 3 clear cut chances to 1 half chance but unfortunately are only 1-0 up. Remember when I got fired from Newcastle before Christmas trying to use your ridiculous pro evolution tactic with an old as balls Sol Campbell at centre back? Good times.

That's been a problem in FM forever, I have strong memories of Spain refusing to play my beast of a Basque regen who was hitting a goal a game while leading Athletic to multiple La Ligas and the CL because they preferred a thirty-something Villa/Torres combo. In FM 2012 or something
