If it isn't a fast computer you may need to clean out some game files.

I just uploaded jerseys today for all of the European leagues essentially. It's awesome how easy it is to upload all that shite.

I've had a skin and regen hair for awhile now and was thinking it would be PC only to edit game files, nope. Just as easy on Mac.

I activated a lot of the european leagues and Brazil. You can add as you play too.

I've lost in three straight FA Cup finals and the game brings it up in every emailed news story about me. It mentions the three failed FA Cups and then my EPL and Champions League triumphs lol.

I've lost to United, Leeds and Norwich. Disappointing to say the least.

Take advantage of Steam refund system.

I thought I would love this game, but I ended just not enjoying it. I'm a big stats/numbers guy, but I just couldn't get into it. I returned it through Steam after about 2 hours.

I like to use the editor in game and give a shite load of cash to lower level clubs to see if they ever make it to Europe.

Pescara used the funds and built a CL/Europa contender. Then literally gave away players and went for drop

I do love how cpu always wants my stud players for pennies, but wants me to pay $100mil for a 17 year old, who isn't starting for the teams u-19 team.

Or, they pay 100Mil++ for a 30 year old player, then sell their best player, a 20 year old stud for $9mil. lol FM and their cpu management skills

This is one thing that's aggravating. If I find a young player I want there is no chance I'm not spending more than $50 mil for em.

But Real Madrid came and offered me $35 mil for De Bruyne who had three years left on his deal (I did manage to get $65 mil from them though).

The only transfer that I felt I got someone reasonably was Origi because I declared interest, offered like $40 mil (valued at $22 mil), Liverpool denied it, and he reportedly threw a shite storm about them not accepting. I then offered $17 mil like a week later and they accepted it.

it's been a flaw in the game for many years

Worst part is, you want to move some young players out of starting 11, to let others in, and players valued at 78mil are getting 12mil offers.

Best thing I ever did on FM was a joint game with a mate (have to arrange to play at the same time)

I was Schalke and he was Bayern Leverkusen.
I won the league and qualified for CL 3 years straight

I think I'm going to resist and just complain about FIFA. I don't want to lock myself to my desk any more than I already do.

I'll live vicariously through y'alls stories, though.

I played for like three hours today once I finished work

fricking Marquinhos got a red card in the return leg on the UCL round of 16 and it essentially lost me the tie. I bitched him in out in private and he was not happy. Looks like I may have a full club mutiny on my hands. Dybala and him are leading the charge.

thankfully I only have my old lap top from college at home so when I leave work it's c'est fini and onto FIFA. but I probably put in 4-5 hours today and shut it down before the first friendly. I literally took 4 hours to move like 3 days on the calendar


granted I'm new to the game so most of that was just going through menus and whatnot. frankly, I can already say with certainty that I would've easily paid $75 for this. if not more.

you have no idea how far over my head all that crap goes. I spent probably 45 minutes learning how to correctly offer a contract










to a youth player

I designated contracts for all youth players to the AI. I do it for all the senior players and coaches, but unless I 100% know I want the kid, I don't mess with their contracts.

I also only tinker with training. Other than that, I let the AI handle that as well.

I do press conferences and pretty much everything else though.
