Let's test how many newfriends a clear cut thread will attract
>implying clear cut means anything on /trb/

>tfw losing sleep over red arrows

release on a free m8

Isn't this game Farming Simulator 2010 with worse graphics?

The embarrassing thing is that FM has better economic modelling than sims that are supposed to be about selling stuff.

you're the expert
>implying you don't sell modern day slaves in FM

>tfw can't afford to terminate

>implying this isn't all about creating a factory of regens to sell off

I hate how true this statement is. Even though there are obvious flaws in FM, the values used are much more realistic than most games, which just often use fake values for grind and unlock gameplay. The biggest drawback of FM in that regard is the weird mix of values, that change, like attendance, and values, that don't really change, like the size and scope of transfers. Or economies on the whole, which is very hard to implement, why I can understand the way it's implemented right now - but I'm still pissed about the whole Brexit fuckery, because it directly contradicts this game design choice. Even more enraging is that it can't be turned off - and every other country in the game doesn't change in the least.

I want a pure domination save. What top 4 team in a top 4 league should I play with? FM16 btw

why is it so blurry?
Buyern, Juve or PSG, easy peasy

Buyern or Juve, that's the question.

Can we get some CL match predictions lads? Which tribbler knows his CL football the best?

rip hypetrain

>scrap work permit
>scrap Bosman rule
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH

>mfw all those people that transferred out Aguero for him in FF

>that guy on the live text who had put Jesus as captain for his team and bet on him to score first
>it was his birthday too

Social media is going to reach new heights next FM game, on this evidence

It's a shame just how shallow MM is

Yeah, having fun with it though and got it with the FM voucher so can't really complain. It's more for comfy than anything else

I tried to start with the worst team but the improvements were so incremental that it wasn't fun.

I think the best way to play is to actually pick a team with some big expectations

I picked the Japanese team that start with a small deficit (which is gone after you sign a couple of sponsors). I had a shit first race because I didn't realise that the second tier competition I was doing didn't allow refuelling which made both my drivers massively angry. We happened to have some wonderkid reserve driver who I promoted and which caused my other driver to "go rogue" because I sacked his mate. Can't do any improvements to anything in my tier so I'm just hoping the kid becomes good enough to start winning races eventually so we can build up cash reserves and promote.

Man I hate mid season breaks so much

Too soft for the Premier League

It wasn't even from a challenge, he twisted it landing

See

>374 matches refereed this season
I'm genuinely impressed.

Your players could be breaking their legs in the snow and on ice, with multiple cup rounds cancelled for damaged pitch. At least that's what has been happening in my Slovenian saves when I decided to have 20 teams in the league and removed the winter break between December and February. Generally an undersoil heating system help mitigate that.

It's the opposite la

Sweden has a month break in fucking June

We are going to get exposed tonight. Tuchel is a talentless hack who ruins everything. I hope we'll get trashed 3-0 so that his sacking comes sooner. we can still qualify for the CL next year if we sack him early enough, but his cancer is going to kill our club's future if he stays.

>We

I'm a club member and a shareholder. What's your point?

Didn't know Dortmund was in Turkey

>Basel manager: "They were just lucky, we'll show them next time!"
Right, right. The annoying thing is that I likely won't finish third because they somehow completely destroyed Jorge Jesus' Barca 6-0.

memes

>Simeone still at madrid
Impressive

Also Real won the Europa after coming third in their group

Didn't know that Germans with a German flag lived in Turkey.

they lost another 2 finals here

I think you played too much of your DoF save

He broke the curse in the first UCL of my save vs Tottenham.

>SI
>realism

>Trolling your missus on valentines day

>You will never be Miles and get a Haribo tree for Valentines

holy shit I'm jealous now

DEVILISH

>Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus suffered a broken metatarsal in the 2-0 Premier League win against Bournemouth.

...

...

That new stadium construction really raped the club's balance.

>CM rapes an opposition player in the midfeild after already taking a yellow
>This results in a goal
A fine example of fairplay. At least in FM I won't get a fine for that.

>Dots between numbers
>In English

I still have to understand how all of this works

Wonder if Jesus is just a plebeian.

And that's partly why they're doing away with it.

boys my strikers are really struggling, getting shit ratings every game

missing chances left right and centre

should i just splash my entire transfer budget on a decent one

>strikerless.com/2015/02/24/finishing-chances-how-can-i-stop-my-forward-finishing-like-torres-at-chelsea/

Hope it's damaged cruciates.

I usually play in spanish and i'm used to dots.

>Conceding a PK on a set-piece
Come the fuck on.

>Broken toe
Meh. With it was a broken foot at the very least.

they were doing so well, what the hell happened?

>trannie window
>everyone rumoured to buy my players

At least fucking offer if you're going to unsettle them

>December-January flop
Best player left? Cold made them slip and break their legs?

January happened

And sometimes your club will be rumoured to buy a player you never even scouted or doesn't match your system. That much is realistic, but still fuck you Milos.

wew

transfer rumour news is like a free scout

Never ever scouted a good player out of that 2bh.

I once had an agent recommend me a clubless regen who turned out to have world class potential

Every other time it's been garbage

I've had a couple good agent offers. Generally all for HUEs just out of the intake sold to pay their parent's loan to the local drug cartel.

Hope all your gfs say Freddy I Do to you lads today /trb/

And I qualify for the EL. Got worried about that since Basel EXPOSED Jesus, but thanks to them for giving us 6 points and 3M€. Thanks Carlo for being a Gentleman and not blowing my face a second time. Fuck you Jorge Jesus and the folds of your chin.

>Jacob Bell
Nice one SI.

post your weirdest functional tactics lads. sick of playing 3412s and 343s so i made a wide target man tactic thats doing alright but i wanna see what else is out there

also how the fuck do i increase my attendances? i win constantly but languish in attendance statistics

Depends of your rep, your league's rep, the price of your tickets, and the population in your area. I actually find it pretty unrealistic that Monaco consistently fills its stadium on big games for example.

Then you could have situations where you manage in shit countries with shit money, which have low attendances and where expanding the stadium or building a new one will consistently cost you more money than you'll recoup through ticket sales. Pic very much related.

Press F to pay respects to the greatest defender to ever grace football manager.

sign big name stars, play beautifully, add a wacky promotion to attract media attention

I'm so sad I have no pics of him in his prime when he basically had 20 in every stat.

wew
F

>9 bravery

Scared of his own shadow though.

there are people RIGHT NOW who don't sign Indians

tfw can't sell out a 2000 seater in Sweden

I remember on an old save (I think it was Siena) where we never sold out or expanded the small stadium but the prices kept rising.

By the time we were in the CL we had the most expensive tickets in europe
