it's still shit
>>2357925The age-old question: Why buy new FM when old FM still do trick
So am I retarded or is there literally no way to make money in 24 to at least break even in shitty leagues nobody cares about?Is the idea that you just play youths with no staff and hope for the best until you build enough of a reputation (if you can get results) and/or hope for a deep cup run if there are financial rewards.Currently in the Azeri 2nd league and after one season I'm 1 million euros in debt.
>>2357930The world is filled with retards who absolutely positively must have the latest thing. Even when it's demonstrably shittier than last years thing.
>>2357940friendlies and selling is basically the only way i'm aware of
>>2357940It's all about friendlies and wheeling and dealing until you can reach European spots, then it gets much easier. The good thing about playing in shit leagues is the other teams are shit too, but they aren't controlled by a human.
>>2358028More people are playing FM24 than 26 though
>>2357940not to give the Official SI Seal of Approval but I wouldn't expect normal behavior from a league like that that has been edited in. Though a lot of the lower league financial stuff does seem to be abstracted down to "you lose money, you can't keep your top players just by paying them more, but you won't go into administration just from playing the game"
oh cool SI just fucked something up with the update and starting new games with editor files. I got worried it was something specific to my own gay autistic file
>>2358669FM26 has twice as many players on Steamstats and 24 is no longer included in Game Pass, so this is definitely not true.
>>2358738is it the 0-100 attribute ratings? lol
>>2358749>FM26 has twice as many players on SteamstatsThat's even worse than the reddit chart kek
>43,033 24-hour peak>84,909 all-time peak 4 months agooof
>>2359070FM24>19,068 24-hour peak>89,478 all-time peak 2.2 years ago

Can they just fucking make this for nfl please? American football manager when?? Franchise mode is always ass and clunky. I want to moneyball
Why don't we just make our own football manager?
Got banned from the sports interactive forums again this time for saying that I hope a gay rapist with aids rapes Miles Jacobsen
>>2359110NFL rights probably cost a few billion dollars, I swear there's a college football one tho. Someone just needs to make a good foundation and let players mod in the real life teams. It's crazy how into fantasy football people are andthere's still no decent football video game
>>2359110NFL Head Coach 09 if you want a 3D one, Football Coach: College Dynasty if you want a college text based one.
>>2359851Can you appeal?
>>2359890Ea would have to make it. Nfl doesnt want more than one company making games going back to 05. >>2359933I would be fine with text but i dont like college nearly as much. And HC09 was cool at the time but a lot of it doesnt feel good to play now.
>>2359951Well if you can wait a few years, the "sequel" to College Dynasty is in the works and will be pro focused.
>>2357925IT'S STILL FUCKING SHIT!
>>2359982Didnt know that was in the works. Neat

>>2360185That's what happens when you release a partially complete AI vibe coded tech demo as a full game.
>>2360185>>2360282Are you really going to whine about not being able to play past 340 years?
Hate the 'Back Down' option. Makes me feel like I'm bitching out to computer generated people. Sometimes it doesn't even match a 'Back Down'.
>>2360185It’s over they were gonna win the quadruple in year three hundred and forty one
>>2360185not a bad little science fiction story
how to get players in low leagues when no one will even trial or entertain offers?is it just moving U19s up until you get a good group?
>>2360630just call the best players up and ditch the rest, quickness training double intensity and then sell when they turn 19 lmao its that easy
>starting a save in southern ireland>save name: BritainxD
>>2360672>sellrelease*
>conceded an equalizer in 90+3 to a GK assistthe only reason the entire club isn't seeing my wrath is because I need to focus it all on my retard of a captain who two-footed a defender by their goal line
Amazing game
Anyone here using any of the new skins for FM26?
Every time I think I got over save scumming the game just goes way over the top with the obvious scripted losses. Like extreme underperformance for 5 matches straight or a champions league winning team just passing to the opponent, then leaving 3 players completely open while defending with more men than they're attacking with for 90 minutes and losing 6-0.
>>2362833t. karma
>>2362867Karma for what?
>>2362869Joking :p
>>2359946He doesn't need to, 3 points are in the bag
For me it's vampire
>>2358749Shut the fuck Miles, you little gimp.
Another evening of child trafficking on football manager. Signed a bunch of u18's to fund my future endevours. My recent batch of child slaves are valued around 100 million total, maybe slightly less actual selling price. That would net me 1 genuine proven wonderkid. The yearly grind for mid table quality children to sell in the future is grinding on me. I may have to revert to more ethical fund raising measures.
If your team is already good relative to your division you can make easy money by farming the full-back position. Sign an FB for cheap and give him a lot of minutes with the rest of your first team, since the FB is not that important and as I said if your team already does well in your league he will get a lot of high ratings regardless of his ability(as long as he's not atrocious) which will inflate his price and attract interest from clubs. Once he's sold for profit just repeat the process the next season.

Does anyone know off the top of their head if the Northern Irish league has 3D kits in the base game?
7 months away from FM27any hopes?
>>2370714Depends on the international management update imo. If they pull it off they'll gain back a lot of goodwill.
>>2370714Is Miles still in charge? Then no. He's doubling down in the UI changes.
>>2370714>FM27lol
I am having fun and thats all that matters.
Any good database for FM25 that focus on past years? I tried one from the late 90s or early 00s and it was shit because every known player was like 4.5 to 5 stars.
