I hope the transfer AI is improved. I lost Manolo Gabbadiani to Bayern for 36m. Real Madrid promptly buy him six months later for 40m and then proceed to not play him for the entire duration of his 275k/w contract :pwn:
Yeah of all things I want this is the thing that I really really want but at the same time I'm almost confident they haven't done poo poo for it considering how lazy they've been on that front to date. I imagine if they do improve it it'll be a marquee thing and it'll be advertised so that dumbies like me buy it fast.

The fact that they've not mentioned AI transfer improvements means they probably haven't done much for it... but who knows I'm still grinding away in FM 15.

So if you have a talented but inconsistent player are you just doomed to him under performing in half the matches or can you somewhat manage that by giving him a role off the bench. Making him save his magic for fleeting moments on the field instead.

I'm still plugging away on 15, is 16 a must have or would I be safe in waiting for a steeper drop in price (or rather, 17.)

Outside of designing an ugly manager I don't see the point in buying, especially since the match engine was broken again after the beta progress.

It'll cut off the future flow of the SA legend pipeline, but those who're already in it will still remain iirc. And depending on how wide that pool of talent is the damage could already be done.

Still playing FM15 but I've run into a funny problem with PSG. It's Feb and I've yet to lose a match in any competition, headed towards a treble and potential CL glory. And yet, Zlatan, Cavani, Veratti, Van der Wiel, have all expressed leaving for a better division bc PL teams want them. In short, am I going to lose every player I ever have because Ligue 1 is a poo poo coefficient or can I safely ignore all of this and let them go on frees later after I've run their legs into the ground?

Luckily bids didn't materialize for any of them so they eventually dropped the issue. The only one who persists is Veratti whose moaning over reaching later stages of the CL. We're in the semi-final against Barca so lets see how it goes.

Booted up a new save in the PL and the ever present reminder that Liverpool and United have boosted their squads potentials a hell of a lot slapped me in the face once more. Like, Depay winning the golden boot with 32 goals in his first season. Wonder if he'll still be a world beater in FM17?

Also I wonder how big of a boost Vardy gets if he goes to Arsenal.

I'm playing FM15 after ages away. First season with Arsenal went really well, 2nd in Prem with 89 points, unbeaten at home all season, CL final etc.

Now the second season is here and it's all gone to poo poo. I'm 8th in the league after losing 4 home games all from winning positions. Do the AI managers just figure your tactics out after the first season or something? I'm worried that if I throw a whole new tactic in my players won't have a clue and it'll get worse.

For the record I play most home games 4-2-3-1 with a DLP and CM, then two IFs and an AP. either AF or CF up front. Any advice is welcome at this point, although I must say I forgot how angry this game can make me!

Yeah you need to switch tactics up a bit, it's a mixture of AI's figuring out your tactic, complacency setting in on the team and seeing your clubs position/rep improved so teams you face will tend to sit back much more stifling your play and generally playing on the counter. Usually you can get away with just switching up the roles somewhat and not having to drastically overhaul formation shapes. At least, that's what I've always heard about it.

I generally go by this but don't be afraid of small changes. The players i have tend to control if I'm using wingers or inside forwards in my wide AM slots for instance. We rely on fullbacks for width anyway though so it's really a difference in how they attack the box and that's about it.


My favourite save so far this year is taking a middling premiership side (Swansea in my case) and trying to do a Leicester. Then build them into the best team in the world. It would have been easier if I was QPR or Palace probably as London vs Swansea and English vs Welsh regens. I'm probably too invested in this save to change now though. I have a spanish regen striker so good I almost want a Swansea shirt with his name on it... Not sure how I'd explain a Swansea shirt to my wife though...

13 technique and 13 long shots??? I'd rate him for my under 15's.

I'm still playing on 15 and won't be buying 16, will eventually buy up 17 once the match engines somewhat sorted. General rule of thumb is to skip buying every year as typically the older game will still have all the relevant roster updates etc. and so there's no real point to drop $50 every year.

How do updated transfers work on an older version? Do you still start in 2014 (for FM15) but have the correct squads for today?
Exactly that, game date remains the same but you'll have correct squads, contracts, injuries, guys outta contract etc. A few will even have updated promotion/relegation. That said I don't actually know of any databases that are current for the end of the season... I've been using one that was current at the end of the first transfer window but that's literally back in August so ymmv.

I didn't buy 16 on account of people saying how poor the match engine was. Anyways I hope they add the brexit demolishing the value of the pound as a feature. So I can raid EPL clubs like a wall street baron and maximize the value of the market as a pseudo wenger type manager.

Dribbling controls the penalty to movement attributes that a player suffers when on the ball, so high dribbling is generally pointless without high agility.

A player with both will go round keepers (and other players) well.

Also, it's not said enough but it's your players. Sometimes you can set up a tactical masterclass but if you're expecting Danny Drinkwater to be Andre Pirlo you're destined for a poo poo result. Sometimes with a poo poo team there's little you can do but set up a negative side and hope you can grind out a result. It's very similar to rl football in that regard in that not every team can play the "beautiful" game.

*Unless you're using one of those exploit formations like having 3 strikers in FM15.

That's because having an entirely new XI (or even just a lot of new players) in a team means you've had very little time for the squad to gel together which means as an overall unit they perform much worse and are all individually learning your tactics alongside the rhythm of playing together. Chances are in the back end of the season you'll see a run of improved form and maybe survive the drop if your good enough.

FM models the "new division challenge" well enough in that freshly promoted teams don't just boss the next division unless they're bringing in talent a worlds above the rest, instead they have to survive the drop solidify and then get on with it.

Hmm so will Dynamics be cool and good? It definitely seems interesting and a good step towards representing the player power of the modern game.

So do any of you use loan fee's when you loan out players? I've always avoided it since I'm afraid it'll deter bids for my youngins but I kinda wanna start a Chelsea type academy.

Considering setting my loan standards at 100% wages and 200% loan fee but I feel like this will probably kill off my loan options. Guess I'll find out... :10bux:
