Looking forward to seeing the Kroos Modric partnership at the 102 stadium next year. Should be a title winning midfield. 

 

Is 102 their combined age?

Yeah, transfers end at 8am tomorrow.

 

I’ll sort the teams out as there’s been a lot of transfer activity I don’t control and need to clean up.

 

I’ll get the season odds up around lunch, then charity shield should kick off late afternoon.

Season odds?

Just a silly odds thing the season starts with. 
 

All the new players aren’t loaded yet so it means nothing, but we’ll get a few gifs out of it...

What are the new attributes we were meant to be adding Brucey?

I thought the consensus was we wouldn’t? 
 

More than happy to, but it’ll mean a days delay on the start up.

[Captain Turdseye]

I’m all for a tactical mess about if it’s not too much drama. It’s the only way of getting ahead really, isn’t it?

We get three more in agreement I’m up for it.

 

Its things like off side trap, use of playmaker, dirtiness etc.

[Pidge]

Nah, save it for future iterations.

 

Anyway, LATE DEAL.

 

Can I trade Lo Celso for Danilo Pereira, please.

 

Fax sent, just got to see if the league confirm the registration in time. Or if the manager has fucked up and tried to pick up an already registered player.

[Captain Turdseye]

Negged. The league will stay roughly the same unless we’re allowed to right our wrongs tactically. We were promised just that. And more.  

[Allan]

What manager stats is it that may need some attention, @Bruce Spanner?

Loads of players have switched tactics at some point, there's plenty of opportunity to adjust.

I found a screen in game which isn’t in the hard coding.

 

Things like playmaker use, dirtiness etc. 
 

There’s about 6/7 things that could be changed, but when I first mentioned it most were against any changes.

 

We’re all set to nothing so the AI takes over, but it’s so thing that could be looked at.

It's a weird hybrid of some of the other stuff we had already.

 

 

 

There's cross over with instructions already which makes me nervous about changing in game stats against the hard coded stuff.

[Allan]

Ta - I see it in the pre-game editor now.

 

Looks like a number of the values are set to 0 as default, so will be random when new games are created.

Yeah, but stuff like marking contrdict, unless, I assume, you set man marking, for instance, to zero and Zonal to high and then have high rating for 'marking' totally.

 

I don't know, seems like changing things for changing thing sake at this point.

Seems like it's just a consequence of the game's evolution - too many overlapping attributes that they've tried to break down into individual attributes. They did the same thing when they introduced player roles - the idea is nice, the execution not so.

 

Have to say that they've completely fudged the editor too. Used to be so much easier to customise as you desired.

I don't enjoy playing the actual game anymore as it's too convoluted and takes an age, but I've always enjoyed playing about with the editor.

 

This version though I have been literally banging my head against walls to fix things and patch things, it's been a cunt to get, previously simple things, done.

 

I've never used FM forums but I had to delve into them to  try and find answers, but even they are avoiding stuff as one bad line and everything is fucked.

 

I've, somehow, managed to fudge it mainly by trial and error and cutting out large parts of the wider game.

Yeah, I did see a couple of your posts on the offal FM forums.

 

I don't understand why SI made it so complicated to create fully customisable games/databases.

 

You've done a grand job with the resources that you have available to you. (Other than setting all my stats to max of course...)

[Captain Turdseye]

Goddammit. I want more options. 

[sir roger]

I don't mind a twiddle to see if I can kickstart my slackers

[Bruce Spanner]

 

Slams shut!

Did this free transfer get picked up, or was it lost amongst the stats talk?

All good, I'm going through everything now.
