Gaming Football Manager 2018

I wanted Tuanzebe, he shat on my face:lol:
It's meant to be a realistic football manager simulation game. On what planet is Tuanzebe going to drop down to the Conference North? :lol:
 
Gonna do a save with the new 'Inter Miami' team.

Just been working on a few kits.

Might have to replace Minnesota to get them in because there's a hardcoded team limit on the MLS in the games FS

Might be quite laborious, but can you not recreate the structure as a new competition, and set the current MLS as extinct?

Unless you’re playing in the 2033/34 season or his knees are wrecked then no planet at all.

I love football management games but FM has become a bit of a joke. They’ve made it unnecessarily complex to mask the fact the core game hasn’t changed in years. The graphics and animations in the match engine are still just dreadful. Even Fifa Manager 06 (released in 2005) was using an actual 3D engine. Transfers and contracts are unrealistic, injuries and scorelines are OTT, interviews and player talks use the same recycled script every year.. I could go on but I’m sure you know all this already.

We badly need a different developer to bring out some competition. FM is not going to get fixed or improved unless everyone starts buying something else.

I've actually been thinking about doing just that but not sure I want to just for time sake. I'm off work for a week so maybe :lol:

Would be cool if I did it all properly
 
God it was a hard first season. Could only sign crap free transfers and got tanked every week FFS :lol:

Managed 2 points all season :lol:

They offered me a new contract though tbf :lol::lol:
 
Was expecting another horrible season but maybe things are not as bad as I had imagined. Terrific start!

It's probably one of the hardest saves I've ever done purely because I started with no players and at a pretty high level. Cant spend money because we have none and just have to rely on tactics to make up the difference in ability.

The no relegation and board expecting me to finish bottom is good now because I've managed after 3 seasons (I think) to stabilise them to be competitive and not literally losing every week.

I'm at a bit of a middle ground right now because I think it's not really a big deal to not finish bottom of the league anymore (got 41 points last season) but still feel I'm not up to the level of the top teams.

How much money do you have to work with now? Very difficult if you're skint.

That's the trouble with the MLS. My reputation is so low, hardly anyone wants to join me. The whole transfer system in the MLS is fairly restrictive too.

This is why I'm finding it difficult to progress as much as I want to.

If it was a case of getting good players in I'd love to be able to scour the earth for good regens ETC but it's just difficult.
 
Saying that though I've agreed to sign Tonelli (Napoli) and Rannocciha (Inter) on two designated player contracts so I'm hoping they instantly elevate my defence a few levels because ATM that's what is costing me. I'm the highest scoring team in the league just cant defend.
 
Started a save with Newcastle, always wanted to do a save with them but never really have. They have so much potential IMO.

Got a transfer update so I turned off first window deals so there's no transfers to speak of so I'll just show my tactics and results so far.

I'm playing an attacking 4-1-2-3 (4-3-3). Not really. been too happy with Matt Ritchie despite him currently being my top scorer (7 goals). Will be looking to replace him in the next window or two. Will also be looking to get a more creative CM that's suited to the AP role as Shelvey is but is just not cutting it for me. My ST is another problem position for me, none of them are scoring. Think Rondon, Muto and Joselu have about 3-4 goals between them in 15 odd games. Shocking stuff :lol:

As you can see I don't have many instructions. I just like my teams to play quickly, pass quickly and close down more. I like to train fitness and then team cohesion, I find this works best for me.

As far as the results go I've have some brilliant ones so far...

Looks like it’s going well so far! @Berbaclass

You’ll be relieved to move on the deadwood and get your own players in. I wonder if Mike Ashley will have his own ideas though.. :smirk:

Ashley is gone. Got taken over by some guy.

There's not too many that I actively want to sell right now because I fell I have little depth. LB is a problem area, as is CM. I have promoted a young player from the u23's Season Longstaff who's doing pretty well, can play the AP role pretty well too. Bring him on for minutes wherever possible to build him up a little.
 
Just got this fella for £1.4 Million. Look at those mental stats FFS

Looks quite the prospect! Cracking price that. All you need to do now is snap up Christian Tue and you’ll have two top Danish prospects to steer your midfield for years to come. Tue is an awesome RPM after training, too. Would suit your formation well.

Will definitely look into him.
 
What's the mobile version like? Is it worth getting (probably the next one now) I played for years on laptop but my laptop broke a few years ago and i never got a new one as never used it. Wouldn't mind getting it if it's decent but I always hear mixed. My mate had the old one and it was quite basic, is the newer one closer to PC now with mobiles/tablets etc becoming pretty good specs?
 
@Berbaclass What skin are you using? Looks great.

Oh and good first year with Newcastle.
Just the default dark skin AFAIK.

Was disappointed to finish 5 points behind Chelsea tbh. I was away at Spurs on the last day they were away to West Ham or someone and they were above me on goal difference. I was winning 2-1 and they were losing 2-1, I conceded in the 90th minute and they scored twice to win their game so it looked a bigger gap than it actually was.

Ah okay, then it's probably just your cool logo in the Inter Miami save that got me thinking it was a different skin. :)
