Are you sticking with 26 or going back to FM24?
>Back to 24Back to 12 more like
Just bought this American Football manager called 'Football Coach College Dynasty', Probably something made by a handful of people and somehow the UI is more easily understood than FM
>>2242596I liked it quite a bit but it's even more of a "recruitment sim" than FM
i MIGHT consider buying FM28 if it ever comes out
>>2242754FM needs a director mode where you are in charge of everything [you want] except the coaching/matches desu
back to back. my competition won both their games, of course. makes me wonder why I even field a goalkeeper
Just reposting this from the last thread for those who didn't see it: Finally figured out how to unlock 243 FPS on a 165Hz monitor. Steps: using program settings in the Nvidia control panel, set max FPS for FM to 243 and Vertical Sync to Fast. Launch in 120Hz and switch once you've loaded your save.
>>2242754I messed around it with for an hour but I refunded it, just interested to see some more management sims. I like American football but I just didn't feel like I had a connection with the players.
>>2242596It's made by one guy, I'm in his discord. He's making a pro football one now.
>>2242529id go back to 12 in a heartbeat if it ran as fast as 24
>>2244584Pro football as in 'soccer' or professional american football?
>>2246329Professional gridiron football
>>2244205maybe I should just stop playing this game
>>2247032this is how my loons play
>>2247032The fact that you got even 1 goal shows that /trb/ is evolving.
>>2247032Believe in Nbugu who believes in you

>>2247696How is young Shaqueel in 26? Was pretty good for me in several saves in 24
FRESH CRINGE JUST DROPPED.This needs to be seen to be believed. Four low T shills cope as they see their lazy lifestyles being flushed down the toilet with the game they pinned their reputations to. Funny in the way The Office and Peep Show are funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hquzw8XUDLA

>>2249128>>2249148Desperately clinging to anti-vaccine beliefs years after billions of people were vaccinated without issue is sad. Especially on an anonymous imageboard, you can just stop posting about it and pretend you were never fooled.

>>2249014>>2249619lol, sorry toots but the effects are still being felt. I work in health insurance and claims have skyrocketed ever since it rolled out. Cardiovascular claims in particular. We do have something in common though, I am fully, completely, 100% pro-vaccine on your part
the delayed update?
>>2251582Slowly but surely, they are putting together one hell of a game.

pes baby here, i've been trying to get into the game for every new releases since 18 but every time it basically boils down to>install game>gets overwhelmed by all of the interaction bloat in-between matches>tactic is cosmetic? in pes, your settings match the gameplay, maintain formation means players don't overlap as much, all out defense means they will all fall back to the penalty box when losing possession, "formation width", "pass distance" everything does exactly what it says while in fm, none of the tactics seem to matter>i literally always get raped as buyern, shitty, fartca against fucking elche or stoke even when i don't touch the default tactics and often times it clearly says all of my players are "supremely motivated">player stat is cosmetic? in pes, dribbling stats, speed stats, jump/physical/defense stats make all the difference between shitty and world class players, i know pes is scripted slop but in that game you can simulate for example, thiago, absolute baller with 89 curve and insane ball control and passing stats yet his physique and finishing is shit and it feels like him, meanwhile in fm every player feels like identical stick figures who are capable of doing the same thing>uninstall.exe, fresh reinstall windows even
>>2252663Nothing fucking matters, set the tactic as gegenpressing, select and sign players with high acceleration and pace, set their training to quickness only and keep their morale high. Win champions league by season 2.Solved game.
I like the sound of this
what's the best data update for fm24? not trying to pay for the sortitoutsi one unless i have to
>Naughty Coonwtf Miles
>>2253375Pretty sure I've read that first line on almost every edition since I started playing (fm14)
Is a transfer embargo database impossible in 24? I remember trying it in 23 and it worked fine, but now I downloaded a database from the workshop and teams like Arsenal and Liverpool were already buying up all the players after 4 seasons...
>>2252638nah, but seeing through and standing firm against one of the biggest gaslighting psyops in history carries a bit of satisfaction, as well as health benefits. Hope it was worth trading your immune system so you could keep access to KFC and Spiderman movies.

>>2262731fuck yeah, thank you
>>2262731This one has the attribute updates too ?
here's my idea for a reduction of attributes>technical: dribbling, heading, passing, striking, tackling, throwing>mental: aggression, communication, composure, decisions, leadership, positioning, work rate>physical: agility, jumping, natural fitness, stamina, strength>gk: handling, reflexes, sweeping nothing is removed, just combined under a less specific term
>>2263244>further consoleifying the gameWhy the fuck would I want that? I'd be more willing to see more attributes added than a reduction.
>>2263260but so many of the attributes are useless, why would you want more?
>>2263268>so many of the attributes are uselessThey're not, the engine is useless. Make the engine better instead of cutting corners.
>>2263270>Make the engine betterlol
>>2263272when you look at the obvious things the game gets wrong (even before this version!) it's crazy that people will also perma-seethe about like "I win too many games with a five striker formation made by malaysians"
Apparently if you're still on the Steam beta branch you're slightly behind on updates now.
>>2262974no just transfer moves and promotion/relegation plus coach moves. apparently it's ANOTHER fee on top of the current sub to get the attributes "live" update.
>>2263270but anon, if the engine is useless, and it is, doesn't that make most the attributes useless?
>>2265165Only via the engine's uselessness. You shouldn't tolerate dumbing down the game to accomodate a shit engine.
>>2264882Viewing match stats during highlights being something that had to be patched in is still wild
>>2263244>nothing is removed, just combined under a less specific termThe SI playbook for whenever they don't feel like actually fixing their shit. Reminds me when Mentality "went away" circa FM14 : they hadn't removed it, just your ability to adjust it. Attributes being visible for staff? Just hide it. Hell, we even used to need Instant Result to be modded into skins because they didn't feel like giving it to you if you weren't playing the Touch version.I wouldn't be surprised if the next "fix" for the new tactics system is to prevent you from having your defenders become attackers, because having the AI actually cope with it and punish you for it would be too difficult.
>>2265558>Reminds me when Mentality "went away" circa FM14 : they hadn't removed it, just your ability to adjust itRemoving the sliders was horrendous and it affected more than just mentality. Locking instructions according to role/duty and not allowing you to override them fundamentally limited how creative you can get with your instructions
people still mad about flankers blasting the side netting instead of passing for a tap in lol
>>2265185>dumbing down the gamenobody said this
>>2251302Quick! Give Miles a pay rise and start working on adding 65+ walking football to fm27 for representation! What about all those old people that are an untapped market!
remove player roles
>>2265666>consolidating different aspects of player performance into a single attribute That's a FIFA-tier dumbed down game.
>>2263244Just condense them into 3 statsKickingRunningJumping
>>2264882>sports interactive employee>umm I think the beta branch might be behind the release version… I think… I’m not sure. Oh well
>>2251302>year ended march 2025A game studio lost money in a year they didn't release a game? Not shocking and doesn't really matter.
>>2265672no it's not, if anything it makes it harder because you'll need to look at stats more
>promise weekly updates>already failing to deliver by the second weekBravo Miles
>>2265688It absolutely does, unless you make sub-attributes for each one which defeats your whole premise, just keep the attributes as they are and fix the engine
>>2265672Listen, I’m a normie-lite twat and every year for as long as I can remember I’ve bought the new fifa in September and messed around on that for a couple of months to feed the football fix when the new season starts while waiting for FM in November - then I ditch fifa completely and play nothing but football manager until the next September This is the first year where that isn’t the case. Played the fm beta but quickly refunded. Load of shite. I can’t believe it, it feels sacrilegious, but FC26 is a much better football game than football manager 26
>>2265696no it doesn't, reduce it even more, two players ranked 90 overall, which one is better?
absolute kino
>>2251302>>2265681>doesn't really matterIKR? When you look at the evolution of other SEGA franchises across the years, it's clearly the fault of the legion of us stupid retards that every year get in line to spend $60+ on a mediocre gui refresh for an officially-licensed football-commercial-brands xcel spreadshit>>2265689Could be just my imagination but maybe they have been failing to deliver for half a decade now.
>French manager wins the World Cup for Englandtop lelThe result in the final was 2-0 btw. A 38 year old free agent Harry Kane scored in the final, and scored five goals in total, just one behond the tournaments two top scorers Cole Palmer and Saka. Kane is retiring so that was his final game.England's run to the final was: Scotland, Australia, and DR Congo in the groups, and then USA > Portugal > Georgia(!) > Belgium. I would dream of having a piss easy run like that.
In 26 I regularly see agents refer to their client as "her" despite me playing the mens leagues only and having switched off as much of the womeme shite as possible. That's a basic SI mistake compared to this other one I found:>player misses glorious opportunity to score>match engine commentary used to say "He'll kick himself for missing that"They've very badly attempted to make this line gender-neutral because it'll now say, using a player called Valentini as an example:>"Valentini'll kick Valentini for missing that"Fucks sake SI, stop hiring pajeets.
>>2266699They/them are through on goal here! Oh no, they’ve/them’ve skied it!They/them will kick theirself for missing that
>>2266699>>2266804>6’4 trans star striker regen who has scored 143 goals for you in the women’s league is out injured for the big women’s cup final>hover over red inj >out for 3 weeks after bottom surgeryMIIIIIIIIIIILEEEEEEESSSSS
>>2266699When you play womens leagues only there's he and him everywhere as well
>>2266699SAAAAR
>>2266699The SI studio is almost entirely White men lol.
>>2267338I was gonna say, it seems like the kind of cliquey workplace where you only get in if you have a connection to someone
>active players down to 56kUH OH
channel midfielder seems really good. finally a meta reason to not use 2 dms
>>2268180not played an FM since 20 but i found it funny that they renamed all the meme roles to english-sounding namesits like SI saw all the >segundo volante shitposting on /sp/
>>2268185obviously the continuation of appealing to the FIFA crowd
>Peaks are hitting 55k, in late November FM 24 got peaks of 82k, a 32% decrease.>For more context, over it's 2 year lifespan FM 24 didn't get lower than 64k peaks until September this year.UH OH MILES
>>2269697Yeah but there are 100s of millions of people who use Netflix and football manager 26 is available through Netflix on your iPad so actually we have a billion players chud stop questioning the numbers you fascist
>>2242516bump
>>2271813calm down
>>2243708You can do that by downloading the instant result skin and setting your staff to do all the responsibilities. I do it sometimes as a roleplaying experience.
Shouts are coming back and match engine improvements are coming! WOOT!
>>2273344lol
>>2273344>distract them, quick!
>>2273384>distract them by listening to feedbackSI can distract me all they want, I guess.
>>2273344>>2273427ok miles, now get back to work.
>>2273344>>2273427They promised improvements before release and then it turned out the only changes were graphics i.e cosmetic. Except for wingers dribbling down the line being made extremely OP of course
>>2275035How could you even tell? You don't run a formation with wingers, do you anon?
>>2275822No but my opponents do.
i like wingers
Excited as fuck for the next content update. Match engine improvements + shouts are going to be huge.
>>2276294Wasn't the match engine the one good thing about 26?
>>2276938Yeah, but they're going to tweak it and iron out a few things.
>>2276294>going to be hugelol
>>2276938>the one good thingLeast shockingly bad would be more accurate, and that's only because we were already used to a dogshit engine in previous releases.
>>2275941Get the fuck out of here glowie
>>2277794weeeeeeee haha down the wing
Today's beta branch patch notes summed up: >we fixed everything.
>Total War announces upcoming games will be going to consoles tooSEGA must be stopped
>>2279532fuck offreally?
>>2279532I wonder if they also have a lolcow dev
Where are they? Why haven't they updated with the new IP and OOP roles?
>>2279532not like there's been a good Total War game in years anyway.
>>2280371is attila good? i've had it in my library forever
>>2279419no shit miles? OMW TO THE STORE!!! just kidding...
>>2280196>RATE MY TACTIC is no longer being actively developed or maintained due to changes since Football Manager 2026. The substantial changes to the tactics system from that game onwards mean substantial changes would have to be made to the rating system. RATE MY TACTIC will remain online for the foreseeable future to help players that still want to play previous versions of the game. Thanks for all the love over the years!>A huge thank you to everyone that supported RATE MY TACTIC throughout its development! The largest contributors are now commemorated on the tactics board for posterity.too much work so they quit
>>2280531yes
>>2280619Why bother with all the work for a new game if you think the new game is shit and pointless?
They brought back the placebo feature: shouts.Somehow this is a very, very appropriate thing for SI to add to this unfinished game.
>>2280619based
>>2280619kek
>>2281217it was a strange thing to get rid of, and if the reasoning was "randomly bellowing on the touchline has next to zero impact on the result of the match," ok, this is technically true. Now try to explain the last ten years of bloat features and the fuckin' press conferences for me
https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm26-match-realism-mod.htmlMatch engine mods are back
What appeats to be the latest new bug is some players apparently getting depressed when the team is running up the score.
Hnnnng.
>>2283101Maybe they're just complacent and this is how the UI portrays it
Man I just booted up FM14 again and I don't remember the roles being so weird. All striker roles, CM-A, CWB/WB-A don't have 'get further forward' automatically active(and it's entirely unavailable for the strikers), and the Advanced Playmaker has both 'get further forward' and 'hold position' automatically active on both support and attack.So did roles/duties only affect mentality and creative freedom in that game?
>>2286251It is kinda sweet that IFs don't have 'dribble more' active automatically so they don't act braindead all the time. The engine has lots of 10 passing between the CB and FB into a running wide man as well so they work sweet.
>>2266699In case people thought I was making it up, here's a similar string (complete with a [NAME NOT FOUND] error.)
>>2273344>SAAR, PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL AND ATTACK DOWN THE WING MORE
>>2286390lol
>>2286390>>2286858b-b-but we are being told to be excited because the new patch is as good as a new release?
>>2287121They add in new bugs or I find bugs that haven't yet been found. Pic related, the stupid "pop-up" menu function bugged out while I was tactic-tinkering and was still in front of the screen even after the match and somehow I was able to save (by asking the game to quit, prompting the "do you wish to save?" message) and reload.
Anyone here managing in Japan on FM26? What's it like?
>>2287224No idea buf if you start out unemployed/unqualified, Japan's third division clubs will accept applications.
I've made a loan signing with an option to buy later. Is there a way to view what I offered as a permanent deal?I can see it was 43m plus additional clauses, but I can't see what those clauses are. Does it show up anywhere? I'm on FM21.
>>2288872Idk if its the case on 21, but if you go to the player's overview, maybe clicking on his wage or seeing his wage details will show you details about the loan contract.
>>2288874It does, but I can't see what the additional clauses were.I might have to go back to an old save and find the inbox message with the details.
>15 technique 15 flair 16 pace 15 acceleration>4 reflexes 4 communication>yeah you're gonna be a goalkeeper
>>2289375Agility, Acceleration, and Reflexes are the only attributes that really matter for GKs, so, yeah, probably would've been just as good as an outfield player, but he can be just fine as a keeper as long as his reflexes get trained up to at least a 12 or so over the next ten years.
How are your graphics folders doing in FM26 so far? For me: FM Slovakia kit packs, 3D kits, sortitoutsi face pack, TCM logo pack, TCM women's facepack, and regen face pack.
>>2289883i didnt get 26 but on my FM24 im at 42GB
>>2289883>FM26>TCM women's facepack
>>2291190You haven't done a women's save yet? Are you some kind of woman-hater?
This guy was given an estimate value of £10m+ when he appeared in my intake, I'd since given him a quite a few games in the first team, he has scored some vital late goals (including a very late equaliser in the Copa Lib final), he has successfully adapted to the AMR inside-forward position I put him on, and Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United, and Spurs are active/rumoured to be interested in him... however I don't get why this game seems to like him so much. He only has ok speed, his highest attribute is 16 Flair, and the rest is just mentlels, physilels, and technilels. I don't see the big deal here.
>>2291480>15 accelerationThere you go. Good off the ball too. His hidden attributes might be high too
>>2291481His OTB is only 11 and could only maybe go up to 14.
>>2291531So what is that 14 in the pic you showed? What genie scout cheating is that?
>>2291469picrel
Tactics are so fucking boring, the only ones that do decently are still the same 4 defender slop or 3 CB's + 2 WBI just want to actually be able to use 3 or 2 CB's without any FB or WB, without being cucked hard...
>>2291549Fuck I misread. Well still I guess his OTB can get to 18 later on.
>>2291795>the only ones that do decently are still the same 4 defender slop or 3 CB's + 2 WBWow just like irl football!>I just want to actually be able to use 3 or 2 CB's without any FB or WB, without being cucked hard...Do you want the game to be realistic or cater to your esoteric shit?
>>22917953 cbs with wide midfielders is good.
>>2291469yeah
"Tight Call"
Mmmm.
>>2292848Clearly offside
I created a graphics -> faces folder and dumped my DF11 facepack into but all the serie a players are busted still? Anyone have this issue?
What's better, generalist roles or specialist roles? I'm talking pre-fm26
>>2291812So we always should follow what the current trend in world football is like without any room for innovation or creativity?I'm playing a videogame, not real life, and even in real life teams experiment, 3 CB 2 WB wasn't a thing until recently, everyone criticized Amorin for doing it in Portugal initially until he perfected it there.
>>2296501The game should reflect real life as it is in the year of release. Maybe as the save progresses the dynamic could change but even then it should involve heavy RNG elements and would be very messy, it's better to keep it static. >3 CB 2 WB wasn't a thing until recently3atb with 2 wing-backs is a common template in football for decades now. The closest thing we got to something novel in recent times was Bielsa's 3-3-1-3 which had mixed results(was fired from Lille while sitting in the relegation zone for example) and far from established itself in football, so it's entirely reasonable that the match engine won't accomodate it.
>>2294966Did you use the FM26 pack or did you copy your old one?
>>2291469I tried during the beta and I was immediately met with a NWSL squad registration that more or less said I would have to sell two of my five best players because of foreign player limits. Then I looked up my team's real matches and those people play together all the time, a lot of the older players who have been in the league forever are grandfathered in as non-foreign. This is the kind of bug I have zero tolerance for because, like. No one tried to play in this league before you shipped the game?
>>2296920>No one tried to play in this league before you shipped the game?anon...
>>2296920>>2297273jej
It's only the first pre-season friendly of a new year Miles.
>Ipswich makes an offer for my Uruguayan>player preference is for NorwichEast Anglia derby is massive in Uruguay apparently.

Been addicted to these games since I got the CM 01/02 demo disk back in the day and i've never seen an ai team capitulate as bad as this before.
>>2298325That's really fucked kek. I thought my U20s making it 3-0 against the senior team inside 10 minutes in a friendly was bad.
