There's a workaround for dickhead agents though. Just press undo or use existing terms or whatever and restart the negotiations.Bollocks. I always forget about release clauses. Drmic tore it up in his first season for me at Wolfsburg. I didn't expect him to do so good, and his agent was insistent he had a £32m release clause when he signed, and he wouldn't go higher. United just activated it. They already have Falcao, Alcacer, Van Persie, Rooney, Wilson and Hernandez. DICKS.
That's plenty crazy. You're Chelsea, right?Pretty much the most fecked up game I've ever played on FM

Shouldn't be a problem then.Speaking of fixture pile ups with the huge teams. I'm currently in this set with Madrid...
5/4/16 - Man Utd (A) - CL QF
9/4/16 - Barcelona (H) - LL
13/4/16 - Man Utd (H) - CL QF
16/4/16 - Atletico (N) - CDR Final
19/4/16 - Barcelona (A) - CL SF
21/4/16 - Atletico (H) - LL
24/4/16 - Real Sociedad (A) - LL
27/4/16 - Barcelona (H) - CL SF
30/4/16 - Atletico (A) - LL
2/5/16 - Sevilla (H) - LL
Horrendous.
Yep. But the non-negotiable option can come pretty handy too.Yup "Existing Terms" is the button. Love this little 'bug'
That truly is ridiculous. What's the worst real-life fixture list like that you can think of? I can't think of any, but surely they must happen occasionally...Speaking of fixture pile ups with the huge teams. I'm currently in this set with Madrid...

Fitness is the enemy, got through to the CL final but think my chances of the league have gone.Shouldn't be a problem then.

Nah, just set the clause higher plus non-negotiable and put in a relegation release clause of 0. Done.It's not ideal in tough negociation, it's better to use the undo button, and then you put the clause on, and then you delete the clause with the option to not talk about it again.

Then don't use Undo or Existing Terms. Agents are assholes. That's the reality.I don't want a relegation clause of 0, i like at least a little bit of realism.
It's pretty common in Germany to have a free release if relegated clause, isn't it?Then don't use Undo or Existing Terms. Agents are assholes. That's the reality.
Edit: And saying that a player can leave if you get relegated isn't that far off.
It's often a very low fee than just for free (for example if a player is valued around €10M the relegation release clause would be around €2-4M), but it happens.It's pretty common in Germany to have a free release if relegated clause, isn't it?

No, but if the agent sets something to non-negotiable and you work around it and basically negotiate it it's unrealistic. Doesn't matter if you use Undo or Use Existing Terms for it.Agents are assholes that doesn't mean that you have to accept everything.

Right, if the player doesn't really want to join you. For example, it happens relatively often if you're a not so big club and try to sign Bakkali in the first January window. In most saves he's a great talent you don't want to miss out on, on the other hand, why would you give him a 10M or even lower release clause. So you use the "bug". At least I do.The thing is you get trapped only when you are lazy, because when the agent wants to trick you he asks you to make the first offer. Otherwise it's because the player don't really want to join you.
And I don't use the undo button, I quit the negociation when i don't like where it's going, even when I have the money.

Then again, I don't know how those negotiations work in real life, if agents really put things like that non-negotiable. If not then it wouldn't be all too unrealistic to use the buttons.
But you said earlier that you use the Undo button.That's the difference between you and me, i contact him, i make a proposition that i judge fair, he proposes something stupid, and I let him ruin his career with Man city reserve.
Aboubakar asked me 190k/week, i sold him for 65m to PSG and replaced him with Jovic.
But you said earlier that you use the Undo button.
Okay, then I understood you wrong.I know you can use the button, but i don't. Like I know you can propose 1m/20 goals to a defender, if you want to sign him on the cheap.
Why?In my first premiership season, teams constantly play their backups against me, reserves, prospects, etc, etc.
I'm 4 points clear after 10 games, with 7 wins and 3 draws.
I guess they're expecting easy pickings. I was in League 1 the season before last, just promoted, predicted to finish 19th.Why?
Yeah, that makes sense then.I guess they're expecting easy pickings. I was in League 1 the season before last, just promoted, predicted to finish 19th.
Bradford Park Avenue from the Conference North.Yeah, that makes sense then.
Which team are you playing with?
The local rivals of the Chelsea beaters?Bradford Park Avenue from the Conference North.
That's them! I've already smashed the world with Bradford City, always play as the Bradford clubs in football games(in between other random saves).The local rivals of the Chelsea beaters?
Are you from the area?That's them! I've already smashed the world with Bradford City, always play as the Bradford clubs in football games(in between other random saves).
Sadly, yes.That's plenty crazy. You're Chelsea, right?
Does everyone always seem to get all the harder teams in the league in a row? Just always seems to be the case in my fixtures. Maybe it is just coincidence though.
No, but my grandfather worked there for years when he was a young fellow, so they've always been his team. I follow them(and New England Revolution) though, I guess as like secondary teams, or something.Are you from the area?
