Start a new save in 17 or buy 18?

youtube.com/watch?v=kFZDL_Gf0IU

fm18's the first year of a significant change, usually that indicates that the next version will be better

even number FMs are the best, discuss

The scouting and ui might take some time getting used to, but I'd say FM18 is an improvement. You could perhaps wait until the update, which should be out in a couple of weeks or so.

Aside from the obvious, are there attributes that you want a sports scientist and physio to have?

i'm starting a game with Chelsea in FM 2007

17 the exception

I'm gonna mostly be on holliday and leave the games up to my assisant. I call it director of football mode. Transfers are the key to success anyway.

>start a save in the mexican second division
>six regens with european cl level potential
wtf

In all my years of FM I am absolutely convinced the game is rigged to throw out more world class regens than usual first year.

Fucking REEEEEEE

>No option to say "okay, be greedy cunts, but let me negotiate the deal"

SI behaving like the cigarette companies.

iirc mexico has a pretty absurdly high youth rating in most fms but naff all coaching

If you added the mexican league to europe you could probably win the cl with an all domestic side after like 20 years

most overrated youth rating
>mexico
>england
>sweden

Gonna go out on a limb and say more than anyone it's Colombia.

Trouble with youth rating is that it controls both quantity and quality.

To be realistic england needs to shit out loads of "good" quality players but in order to do that fm also ends up producing more world class players that is accurate

It's Japan because they're on the same level as the like of belgium and croatia

yes true. my list was not the complete list. i do think england should never get GOAT regens. its silly at this point.

The problem is FM can't realistically reproduce the fact that all English talents waste their potential. Their youth rating is fine, the problem is they don't immediately stop growing once they hit 160 CA.

i see it the other way around. their talent isnt that good but any halfway decent talent in england will get in an academy and get top shelf training.
Basically they hit their max early so they are impressive as youth.
look at some of these english youth wonders and ask were they would be if they were from a shithole country.

They'd get first team football and might make something of themselves

I don't think there is deductive evidence of this, but a positive personality is always important to take into account as I think it will affect the team in general. Not sure if those exact roles will have any effect on your players' personalities as such, though.
I guess the deciding factor is whether the English players are managed by yourself, or the AI. I've had three or four English baloon d'or over a period of 8 years or so, but if they would have started their careers at, say, Man City, they would probably never get any games or developed their potential.

>>england
we're just shit at advancing them past early 20s

you are also shit at penalties

I just told you why. They reach their peak early.
England is the country version of freddy adu.
also another problem is that english clubs wil go out and find 6" 16 yo of a certain race (niggers)
and they can dominate in the youth but in the pros they get exposed.

our best youth player is a five foot nothing white twink lol

>what is an outlier
you know that most english academies looks like a dogfart video.

I don't know what that is

...

Why are you familiar with the names of interracial porn sites?

your mom told me about them.

>assistant prefers 4-5-1
>lol no miss me with that gay shit
>team hits poor run of form mid-season
>have to play far and away best team in the league
>defensive 4-5-1 and prepare for Pulisball
>dominate and win 4-0

Guess I have to fully commit to being a hated manager now.

How many years is it worth simming so that good regens are like 17/19?

3

Almost. You can set up the average personality of the generated players in the Editor. So you can indeed try to create talented shitheads. Doesn't mean there won't be outliers or that you can't tutor some away. Not as precise as you'd like but then SI will never underrate England properly anyway.

Countries like Mexico, Russia and Egypt have youth rating scores that seem too high but there are things to offset it: awful youth coaching outside of the top clubs, awful professionalism and ambition for regens, and (for mexico + russia) a mediocre domestic league with enough money to hold on to players for too long

Also, Russians are not desirable by any country that could afford them due to their nationality: they're non-EU national about everywhere. So unless you manage in a no-Brexit England where you don't care about money or nationalities, there's no reason to buy them unless they're truly great and there's few alternatives. Quite a few countries tend to have expensive players because the db says so: Ukrainians are not cheap either for example. Well, can't say it ain't realistic. That said, Russia's youth rating was nerfed in FM16 or 17: any savvy player could've exploited that to their advantage by managing in Russia.

Maximum butt blasting

Lol what 17 is the worst of the series

Is it still a free kick if you shove a player from behind, but then quickly shrug your shoulders and have a confused look on your face?

LA PÁGINA OCHO

some tense last minutes
bbc.com/sport/football/43040061

thanks lad, glad i didn't wait to find that score out until morning or anything

t. crewe fan

The other day there was some lad messaged a bookie on twitter asking why his Spurs to beat Rochdale bet hadn't been paid out. Turns out he was at the match and left after the pen, had no idea Rochdale equalised.

what would trb do if they had to "escape" from home for a week, escape here meaning not being found out and blocked by parents or relatives or friends?
posting this qt just because i opened fm for the first and probably last time in a month

kekking

Well, that's an incredibly bizarre and suspect question to ask a load of strangers on the internet, but if you have the means gather some camping gear, get on a train and find yourself a camping site somewhere in the countryside. Plenty of people go solo camping so it wouldn't look odd, and unless you come from a family of fanatical hikers no one's going to stumble across you by mistake. Might be fucking cold mind, but tough shit, wear layers.

Now for the obvious question, why?

Get on a bus, get on a train to a city and stay in a youth hostel there assuming I only have cash on me

It's only hard to do if they involve the polis

nah i'm not going away from home without a goal, i'm going to a place (that i'm not saying) and then going back home a week later

>Now for the obvious question, why?
memes and shits

half of this is answered above, and youth hostels are more expensive than just renting a room on airbnb so i'll go with that i think
no poliz involved, unless my parents call police, which will lead them to look into my pc and see this post (hi officer)

have another qt btw

But what's the goal? Are you just fucking with people by vanishing for a week? Are you an adolescent drugs mule going in country or something? Or do you just hate everyone you've ever known?

I mean, you can be vague if you need to be, but I'm massively curious as to why you'd choose to spend a week ostensibly paying someone to flatsit for them.

>Are you an adolescent drugs mule going in country or something?
it would've been more interesting if it was something like that desu senpai

i'd rather not say it here, if you're in the discord of the general (discord.gg/92Pmke) just look up my trip and message me, but then again, it's nothing really interesting

but do you really need a reason to go away when these are the countries winning the WC? i think not

Can you explain the playing style? They were playing at home and seemed to do their best to get a 0-0 draw. A lot of hoofing for the 45 minutes I saw, at least.
Are you hiding from them because they plan on marrying you away with a cousin or something?

i’m just trying to sneak away desu, because they said no to it so that’s the only way
it’s childish, i know

Let's hope you don't get a two week wage deduction.

i’ll probably get beaten up, deservedly so, but it’s a risk worth taking

The world outside of Norway seems like a harsh place

The CA/PA model can't distinguish between young players that look good because they grew up early, and those that look bad because they haven't had a growth spurt yet.

English prospects will rarely ever develop much irl because most of them are already at peak size/speed/strength at 17 years old. An FM regen with killer physicals at that age will always get even bigger/stronger/faster.

>if you're in the discord of the general (discord.gg/92Pmke)

oh that's why the threads have died a fucking death

that discord is deder than the general, probably because I never talked on it.

>that aim

Drunk ama

What's been the average age of your gfs?

28

Why are you drunk on Tuesday?

My friend wants to run away and join the national team. How do I stop him?

Day off tomorrow

Tell him NTs are non representative and are for cucks

...

No need to get personal

Looks like a happy family to me

O REI

Is there a crack yet? I don't wanna buy this

Good FM18 goalkeeper to sign for Newcastle in second season?

Got it narrowed down to

Ralf Fahrmann
Loris Karius
Timo Horn
Yann Sommer
Mattia Perin

lol Peru fucking rules, this was my first game and with a tactic that was supposed to be on the defensive side

my striker missed a pen and got a 10.0 anyway

Alban Lafont or Perin would be good.

What has changed in 18 apart from the fags?

is there a bug or something that if you let AI handle staff signings they'll never stop signing meme shit like data scientists?

>Aggression
>Bravery
>Manlet
Like pottery.

>English prospects will rarely ever develop much irl because most of them are already at peak size/speed/strength at 17 years old
Most players are IRL, generally they only become marginally technically better afterwards and mostly gain in mentals as they smooth the edges around their game. Of course in FM you would have a riot if a 19/20 yo player couldn't improve technically anymore, so the development curve in FM is slightly different to accommodate for that.

English youngster do physically dominate early on, but yeah, when it becomes time to play the big boy leagues they get mangled by players with better tekkers and especially mentals who aren't much weaker physically either.

The AI is just dumb, don't let it handle anything. ANYTHING.

What does this even mean and why is it considered an "improvement" by the board when I said to spend money elsewhere? Why can I then request a new improvement if I'm saying I don't think I'll sign a new contract? Am I reading something wrong?

It's just the default reply you have when the board asks your opinion on something. Generally since the board is as dumb as brick you just accept every time because they could refuse everything else for no reason.

Every single time.

>start as Spain's manager
>5 questions about complete scrubs of a player who have dual nationality and whether I'm happy that they've declared they want to play for Spain

fucken drunk lads.

on the fence between buying 18 and waiting for 19.

impulse purchases when drunk usually go well

>tfw you can't sign a good prospect because his agent is butthurt over you making players sack him too many times

>second season with Newcastle
>have £103m to spend after selling some deadweight
>no one worth a shit wants to sign for me even though I'm in the Europa League
I don't like this feel

>no one worth a shit wants to sign for me even though I'm in the Europa League

realistic

post trequs

>board takes out a £4m loan to build a £10m stadium with half the capacity of the old one
Fuck off, we're not even losing that much money on ground maintenance

How do I check the exact number ratings of my facilities?

humming

I guess you would have to download a save game editor or something. Or just check the normal editor if you haven't upgraded anything in the game yet.
>tfw not been drunk for three years or something

You can see in the SI in game but I think you have to have that purchased when the save starts

is fm2018 worth a buy?

I can get FM17 for 15AUD/8.5GBP/12USD. Worth buying?

no

yes

Did they do anything to sweepers in 18? I care about nothing else

If you like it you'll get hundreds of hours out of it so on that note yeah. However it is last year's version if that bothers you

hey where?!

literally google it, found 6 doing the same price or cheaper just on the first page of results.
