This is truly one of my happiest moments ever.
Long ball is rising, long ball is unbeatable.

Imagine how badly they'd be if they were in Europe too

I wish we could win a game in real life

Oh Derby scored. Nearly didn't notice this unicorn sighting.

Hopefully they are like buses. Plus it needed a massive cock up of the defence, they all count though

Welcome to the darkness Nigel

Are there any good mods for FM?

I'm not even surprised desu

Commiseration.

Lads I read on the forum that there's going to be a big reveal on Sunday, lads.

Thanks for this breaking news.
Heard Neville Chamberlain might declare war on Germany soon btw.

Don't be a retard who thinks City were playing at this level last season. They raped gladbach, they've raped literally everyone so far but united, the toughest away game of the season to many, and their legit first game for finding their feet vs sunderland. If you unironically think that Pep hasn't turned City from a title contender to "is going to win the league and put 3 on everyone along the way" then you're just looking for excuses to be ABMC

>Gladbach
>good

>this poop guardiolel dicksucking
yeah he turned them from a nerves wreck they were under pellegrini into the title contender.
But to say they will put 3 behind everyone just because of a win vs a united managed by some has been doesnt mean they will walk everything.

Near the end of last season City played Bournemouth and Stoke, two teams they ahve played this season and they beat Bournemouth 4-0 (same result) and Stoke 4-0 (4-1 this season)
The implication that they have suddenly improved massively is ridiculous. I would say they look better but not outrageously so as people seem to be implying.

I guess it's time for Germany to go. Never liked them desu

>Gladbach
>United
>good
Almost got me there.

Epic memes.

Have you actually watched every game they've played? They've just looked so much better than all of their opponents so far. I wouldn't even call myself a pep cocksucker because there's obvious issues with giving up soft goals and a little to much going trigger happy with shots from distance, but even with that they just look nigh unstoppable in their opening 6.

I wouldn't say they ended last season well at all. Not seen are fuck ups vs Kyiv, Norwich, Man United etc.

United's players are good this season to be fair. But ever since SAF retires they've been playing like a diabetic person when their blood sugar is too high a.k.a. lethargic.
If that continues I could see them getting beaten left and right by "small" and "mid-table" team.

>I wouldn't say they ended last season well at all.
No they didn't. Thats the point. Half the teams they have faced so far are absolute shit anyway. So people are overreacting to a solid performance v Man U and a good performance vs Gladbach. Everything else is no better or only marginally better than they were playing at the end of last season which is why it seems unjustified that everybody is sucking Pep's dick like he has turned them into a ridiculously good team.

I remember when companies felt they were beholden to their customers and not the other way around.

More than 10 press questions, impoved libero role and hair that fits newgen's heads.

Cannot imagine having such a poor sense of humour. Please tell me what is it like?

Do people actually bother with press conferences after going decently far into a save? Serious question

>send assman
>entire team gets upset with his comments
>lose the next match

I can't bring myself to bothering if it's not a big game or after a loss desu, it gets really fucking boring after a while

the board might fire you if you send the assman too much

As annoying as it is press conference are needed for immersion imo.
If only it felt more organic.

>poor sense of humor

that's not Miles having a sense of humor, that's Miles being passive aggressive any time somebody says anything about his >game. His twitter feed is a library of excuses.

No it is you having no sense of humour

>lolololol Miles such a prick
>actually it is clearly a joke
>reeeeee SI shill gtfo!
Seems strange to me you would get so upset at a joke unless you unironically do suffer from autism and struggle to recognise humour.

A lot of people say scoring on your old club is something for managers to be bitter about.
For me, I'm thanking him for saving me clean sheet bonuses.

The jokes over, Joe.

>SI
>rivals

the very foundation of your post is baffling, SI has no rival unless you use the standard that would consider Neath a rival of TNS.

Who are SI's rivals in football management games? Other than shitty online and mobile games they seem to have a monopoly and even Fifa tried to compete with them but pulled put.

>the very foundation of your post is baffling
About as baffling as the implication that my ability to recognise something said in jest means I'm an SI shill.

>SI's rivals

>SI rivals
had to search a while for this one sorry

I have the press questions and possible answers memorized by now so the conferences only take a few seconds so I do them most of the time.

being awfully defensive and humorless about a comment made in jest for somebody criticizing the sense of humor of others.

I mean, I even used lel because I thought it would make it obvious but I guess even a sledgehammer is too subtle for some people.

tfw you make profit but you're stung by locked in release clauses

why the fuck is this a rule in the semis? might as well forfeit the final if I can't have tommy score the winner

dont bother arguing with him, its the same autist that rushes in to defend miles every single time.

Norwegian managing gets tedius when theres a 4 month break. Whats the worst that could happen if i holiday through december?

How would unlockables even work in FM?

Like, you win 100 matches and you unlock a stadium being built with your name on it?

>Everton are in 2nd place

Are they this year's you-know-who?

I would hope a named stadium came at 5x Champions league titles

They have them in Classic/Touch/whatever its called this year. Its shit like Unsackable, transfer window always open and other shit like that

I can see them being the new old spurs, finishing 5th every year from now on

>win 100 games by 2 or more goals to unlock multi-ball play

>transfer window always open

fuck off, its enough to keep the top clubs off my talent twice a season

>old spurs
what is the new spurs' gimmick?
>transfer window always open
fuck off Arsene

Well I haven't tried it so I dunno if it only applies to your team when buying/selling or all clubs

...

That would be shit and make the game too easy after a few seasons. I mean, it still is relatively easy unless you go all in and start managing in 12th tier or so, but still.

Or after 10 years in the club.

I hope he cuts himself shaving tomorrow, I hope he bleeds all day long

I actually don't disagree in principle but I won't deny I'd think it was fucking dumb if someone like Kanye has tweeted that

I remember that going back several editions, to at least 12

Im 99% sure that it wasnt there in 14 which is my main game. Seeing as my norwegian club was sold off, which wouldnt happen to a membership club.

...

It's been there since 12 for fan owned club IIRC.
Pretty sure I saw this in 13 at least.

It's not there in norway for 14, at least not in the way that they do it in 16.

Maybe they updated the Norway database in 15 or 16 on club ownership.

Lads is this bad financial year?

...

Thats great, I tweeted at miles when my club got sold off in 14, which was bullshit since it wasnt in financial issues. He just said that it was normal behavior.

Which it isnt outside a select few clubs in norway... Those clubs arent accurately represented in 16 tho

>Pay 60m + Ricardo Rodriguez for Alaba
Why the fuck would you do that
Rodriguez literally is a world class player in FM.

> managing CSKA London

got banged lads

I had cash burning in my pocket and Alaba is the superior player. Ricky Rods wanted 200k/week to resign with a year left on his contract.

It's quite enjoyable. I dropped 77m on Odegaard and he's been a killer.

This sucks.

>77m on Odegaard
damn that's cheap

You know, Aberystwyth came in to some money about 8 years ago and I could never for the life of me work out where they got it from. Nothing in their transfer history ever seemed to give any kind of indication whatsoever. Now Bangor has money too. Neither of them spend it. TNS still rapes the league. Strange.

He's alright

>tfw he'll never be as good IRL

Basically gonna miss 4 months of football, has no degree of physical preparation and at full cost.

3-5-2 fluid attacking

what striker and CM roles faggot

Might be the first season in years Man City aren't paying him

There is no surefire lower league tactics. What I do is go to tactics, pick "Assistant reports", put each player into their best position starting with the best players. If you have holes (you usually will, random shit like having 8 CMs and no right backs) find new players. Lower league starting teams are so weird you basically have to improvise.

He always seems to start well at every club he goes to then turns to shit after just long enough to earn himself a nice new contract.

you're right, of course. It's just that I absolutely HAVE to start with a bottom 3-4 club in the lowest possible division in England and when I inevitably go on a 4-5 game losing streak I get frustrated and start a new save

I have 320h in this game and I've completed maybe 2 seasons

and also he's an inconsistent lunatic who will probably play like shit after his first 2-3 games

if by real LLM you mean amateur clubs with meme databases then sure. But there's an argument that amateur is actually easier than semi-pro because you just take and leave players whenever the fuck you want

Honestly while his good times at Spuds were pretty fun the other half of him being a complete shitbird makes me completely forget anything positive he ever did, with the exception of his Man City celebration against arsenal.

no, I mean that the amount of money and quality of infrastructure in England makes even the lowest in the default db better than some nations top leagues.

>GOAT farm
>Never ever
>Sugar daddy team
Bunch of suckers.

>signing africans

Ok listen to me, this is going to sound a little crazy, but there is a method to the madness.

The first thing you need to know is that wingers and crosses are ridiculously broken in this game, if you play it right well over half of your goals should be tapins from a cross from either your full/wing-backs or your wingers.

Secondly, the main challenge is then to get the ball into such a space to allow crosses to be sent into the box, and have the manpower to deal with it once it does.

The way you do this in LLM is run a 4-1-1-4 formation. Now, dont run away REEEEing all over the place, this isn't one of those meme 50shadesofgrey.gif tactics. Instead this is the most efficient way for you to score loads of goals against weak teams with weak keepers.

The formation revolves around your midfield, which may seem weird seeing as you'll only play two midfielders. You're going to want an anchor man for your DM spot. His job is to stay deep, get the ball back when the opponents counter and then send the ball on to one of your more creative teammates. In this formation he usually has three options..

Meet the BBM, his job is to both serve a tertiery defensive role, but more importantly, he passes to your wingers and then runs in behind your forwards to get his feet/head/dick on the ball to smack it into the goal. This usually allows for four targets in the box from build-up play.

The two wingers are your usual suspects, w (A), they will both cross and score for you on the back post.

For the forwards, I want to run a poacher and a false 9 in tandem. If you cant find a decent false 9 and are at least semi-pro, i suggest checking out Bardh Shala, he is a decent false 9 for LLM on an amateur contract in norway.

Backs should be attacking fullbacks for maximum crosses.

Go route 1, pump the ball into the box and hit early crosses are your key team instructions, rest can be fitted as you go.

Enjoy your meteoric rise through whatever league system you chose

Honestly, based on my current MLS save, this seems incredibly reasonable.

I'm posting a picture of a lead after 20 minutes and nobody can stop me

Do what everyone else does, play previous year until FM either comes out on humble bundle, or they have the CL Final sale

Drink until 17 arrives

Wait for feature announcements to see if 17 will even be worth getting.

The feature announcements are literally always disappointing though. 3D engine when it was introduced was about the only decent feature announcement and that was nearly a decade ago.
It is just a matter of seeing if the ME is up to scratch and if they've added sufficient little things to it to make it worthwhile to upgrade which you will never know until demo comes out because >trusting reviews

That is curious.

After finishing 2nd behind me for 2 decades, Molde finally fucked up and came 5th in the league. Their finances are fucked now, probably because of no CL/EL money I guess but idk

I always wondered what happened to really small clubs when they get a lot of money. Some years ago I signed a player on compensation from a third tier club in Norway, and a couple years ago I sold him on and they got £3M or something in compensation and now that clubs total value is 190k. What happens? does anyone know

I'm getting hammered myself but leaving my save alone, last time I got drunk I bought like 10 £1M players, 2 of them are decent.

>Slap a more reputable team sideways in the first leg

C'mon, a bit of self belief lads!

the only one that consistently works for me in that situation is "good luck lads" in that it does nothing
everything else seems to fuck up their morale for reasons only SI understand

If you are losing or drawing to a worse team at halftime be aggressive, if you are winning be passionate. Same thing with the postgame pep talk, also never use pregrame peptalks it's always worthless.

I'm just always assertive.

Speaking of that match...
>Listen to AssMan's suggestion for once
>Scores two goals
HUEHUEHUEHUE.

Probably linked to "first leg complacency syndrome", where a more reputable team will always be laughably weak in the first leg but absurdly strong in the second. I was leading by one at half-time, told them that they were little pieces of shits and they were all, without exception, fired up.

And it means that there's a "final" for qualification in my group. I perhaps could watch that.

Forgot I can't since both matches are on the same day. Bummer.

Game's glitched for me sometimes and I've gotten to watch games and coach same day

feature reveals tomorrow (today) lads

in a one-off game it's fine, in a two-legged game you regularly get nonsense like what france mentioned

I got a decent keeper in my intake lads :DDD

Sell him, you'll never need him

loan him to me

99% of the time, being aggressive works in FM, especially in FM16. Winning by only one goal at HT? Berate them. Won the match by only one goal? Destroy them. Drawing at HT? Tell them that if they don't win this that you'll fuck their mom sideways, back and forth.
>strikerless.com/2016/02/19/the-hartman-doctrine-why-the-hairdryer-treatment-works-surprisingly-well/

For me, I only get aggressive if we're losing, if we don't play to standards, I say aggressive phrases assertively

And obviously if they underperform, warn them between 6.4 and 6.0 and fine them when under 6.0. It can raise their Det and Workrate. And if they bitch, they probably have shit hiddens so tutor or outright sell them.

That's because you apply real life logic to the game. But this isn't real life, if you were aggressive 99% of the time you'd have a mutiny in no time. Here it works and it's even advised to tell them that they're wank.

>started reading "tell them that if they don't win this" and automatically translated it to if you don't win this you won't recognize me

where's that britanon with the 50+ pictures of le angry manager when you need him

well, hi, i guess.

>Three of the managers that hate my guts are NT managers
What do you want, my players ain't no playing no stinkin' friendlies. Poop likes me but I haven't pulled a player from Spain. Yet.

The turnover rate for Maribor and Olimpija is uncanny. If you're just one place below what you were asked to achieve, you get insta sacked.

And since the game values reputation over anything (especially current league position) and that as a result every manager and their mother will attempt to jump ship, it also means that the turnover rate for every manager in the league is incredibly high. We're in December and there already were 6 changes.

>first game in charge of new club

well, as long as nobody's being given 6 (six) year contracts, I guess it's ok

14 decisions should paper over a few cracks

I've played against a one-armed goalkeeper before
he let in a few that someone else would have saved obviously, but the dude was an incredible athlete and had no fear of anything, made some amazing saves.

Definitely needs "Is completely offsides" and "Rounds the keeper"

>1000 new features
it's literally just fm16 with a new skin

I hate when that happens. I feel like they should have some suggestions even if they tell you they aren't confident in them cos surely any other job you're in if you say you're not gonna do a task because you don't feel confident in it even though it is one of your duties you're gonna be disciplined or sacked for not doing your job.

>keepers still laughably bad

>20,000+ new media items

T-Thanks Michael :^)

Every FM has just been "same as previous FM with a new skin." mostly just because its hard to convey changes in a 30 sec teaser trailer so they prefer to stuff it with match engine footage that realistically shows you very little.
It was pretty much known this was gonna show very little. At least graphically it looks a bit better, realistically that is all we could hope to take away

Also leaked hours early lol get rekt Miles.

I thought the same tbH.

>chief data analyst

Oh good, somebody else to give me terrible advice I should ignore.

>tactics screen looks exactly tghe same

what is the goalkeeper doing at 10 seconds?
Laughable bad animations

miles is lucky his game is not based on that

not even a new skin, same as last year

>still using those disgusting boxes on the tactics screen

>Blurring this bit out on every screenshot of the inbox
He shows name on a couple of them so I doubt its that but makes me wonder if its something cool they are keeping hidden.
More likely its something shit they can't get working right anyway so might just scrap and don't want to create any hype for it.

Confirmed they are keeping it secret.
I expect my disappointment to be 6/10

>implying blurry menus not a feature

2016 annoucenment and this. I feel like Miles got lazier. At least we used to have three or four new shit annually. For two years we don't even get them.

i'm not sure i can understand the concept of this award if it isn't given to the first place team

Yeah, City is such a better side for having beaten United this season :^)

>At least we used to have three or four new shit annually
They literally are not announcing new features till next month though and have deliberately concealed certain features (see ) in this teaser trailer (which they do every year tbf) so its a bit harsh to be judging it and saying it is definitively exactly the same.
If you want to imply the new features when they do get announced will probably be underwhelming and buggy anyway then that is fair.

m8 dont you know poop guardiolel is literally jesus for turning the 1+billion investment into a good team :)

united is literally the 2nd bets team in the world all hail pep guardiolel

*dabs in celebration*

Is it time we retire le Ozil maymay for a forgotten image and replace it with Pogba?

but he's the only United player to come close to scoring today

not his fault he's being managed by Moyesinho imo

visually appealing: FM06, FM07, FM14
not great but not bad either: FM05, FM12, FM13
shit: literally everything else, specially post FM14

...

Why do people want a new skin every year? Why would that alone convince you to buy?

So basically we're again getting FM14. Fuck off Miles.

I don't want a new skin, I want an appealing look again

there was no need to completely change the look and feel of the game in FM2008 just like there was no need to completely change things after FM14. It doesn't make sense and it draws old players away, not to mention it makes the game feel more bloated every year. Changes are good when you're trying to improve on what's good, not when you're drastically changing buttons and shit every few years for literally no reason other than claiming it's a new game

UI is fine imo, not great but fine, easy enough to navigate. Don't see any reason to get upset that they haven't done a new skin this year since it always takes a while to relearn where everything is when they do that.

>Captain / Vice Cpt appears as a table instead of list
>Chief Data Analyst w/ Fitness Coach attribute focus
>recommended mins based on Match Fitness / Condition
>Managerial Style: literally a dropdown + 7 custom list
>a few redesigned UI element that used everywhere

Literally low-tier "features" that any intern with little to no previous experience could have done in two afternoons at most. The table-like (news) panels (that Mike included like half dozen times) are the only one that takes some effort.

>tfw when it's in-game store where you can spend your hard-earned virtual credits
>that's coming either from FM Classic "accomplishments" or from real life shekels

They don't specifically want new skins, just want something for their money. Since Mike obviously doesn't give a shit about the half-assed features and illogical issues that's still in the game for God knows how long, visuals are kind of the last resort.

>They don't specifically want new skins, just want something for their money
And that is perfectly fine but teaser trailers never have revealed anything in the way of new features and its seems most of the responses in here to the trailer was "Hurrr looks the same" or ">No new skin"
I'm sure it will have few if any good new features and it will be fair to get mad at SI if we do find out that is the case but its a ridiculous overreaction to a teaser trailer and they aren't even expressing a good reason to be mad at it.
When we find out the new features and have had a test drive on the demo it'll be fair to criticise but criticising it for not having a new skin is flat out retarded.

dont be like dutch internet isnt fast af.

try doing that while its downloading at 200kbp/s m8

Can anyone give us a hand, got some weird glitch. The bottom right part of my screen isn't working. Like that respond button in the bottom right won't click, tried changing resolution, changing to windowed and adjusting window size, neither has worked so far.

>git hype
lol
>suribro in charge of reading the thread

it's the same one from earlier

o-oh
why does he fucking tweet it if its already on yt then
fucking another minus for fm17 mike

Because it leaked, its a private vid and was viewable if you're a member on Watford's site.
Public release is the 3pm.

Oh.

Well no pre order for me today then.

You people should be grateful we're getting 1,000+ new features.

>redmond

should be lucky to even get it released to us worthless peons 2bh.

doubt the number's real unless they're counting individual players' attribute and club changes as features

Every new/reworded media question counts.
Thought people knew that by now.

we'd be lucky to get 50 new media questions

I think I am on my way to my first cup after the johnstones paint trophy

You're absolutely right. However, I think these remarks are meant to be quick, emotional reactions instead of legit criticism. Since it's totally reasonable to do not expect anything from SI, a new skin would be at least something. Even if the game will be shit - what we indeed can't tell until the demo.

Have you tried restarting FM? Also, exactly which respond button [in the bottom right] are we talking about?

And when was the last time we got a 1) meaningful and 2) major feature? (Note: being properly implemented is not a criteria). Because technically speaking, even 1k new one-liner to press conferences or media sources from various countries can be counted as such.

>not even the FA Cup

i dont even want 17 desu

>Hamilton got third

kek.

think I'll wait for 18 2bh
15 is fine for now

got man shitty in 3rd round yesteryear so....

Man I can really see that all those people saying Miles acts like a cunt on twitter really have a point.

my coaches have been raving about this guy's potential since he came through the youth intake, and now he's doing well for the russia u19s too
I guess I should give him a chance with the first team but he just isn't good at anything
what would you do with this kid, /trb/?
bear in mind that he doesn't need to become world class to be valuable, just serviceable, because of the 4 domestic player minimum for league matches

put in as AM-S or CM-S

AP, I suppose, since you can't afford to sell him.

To be fair I'm only half joking.
I'm just enter the "fuck my life and everything in it" phase right now. Guess it came with being old.

Guess my dad was right all along.
At this rate I will grow old to be a grumpy old man that is tired and hate everything.

>At this rate I will grow old to be a grumpy old man that is tired and hate everything.

You say it as if that was a bad thing. Being grumpy and generally hating everything is a privilege of the old.

Fiorentina hasn't been a big team since the 60s HC.

just as long as you hate old things and new things in equal measure
we'll all be there eventually

Maybe because I was raised by parents that are the polar opposite of that so I think of them as a bad thing. I don't know.

Exactly.

I understand why Miles gets so much shit but he seems like a gentle soul

>he seems like a gentle soul

he seems like a dick with money.

not "fuck you" money, but enough to think he has it and the ability to act that way. and that only makes him seem like more of a dick.

Why are Swansea only good against top 6 teams?

ultimate FM competitors

That's not even close to remotely factual.

Look at their records against Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and City.
Even when they lose, they rarely lose too badly against those.

They are always mediocre as fuck against mediocre teams, even when they win.

>tfw have a knack for forcing good African players into accepting shit wages and selling them high
This is why slavery exist.

is that a full-time contract or is he semi-pro?

as a literal lifelong swansea fan who watches every single game every single week (since they were on tv ofc, I had to follow scores in the daily newspaper when they were lower league except the rare occasion i travelled to wales/england for a swansea game)
no

Full time pro contract. Even I feel sorry for him sometimes.

Of course I don't watch every game, so you are probably right, but that's really how they look to me.
It's probably the third team I watch the most, after Spurs and Real, and I can't remember a great match from them since last year against an average team.
Maybe West Ham?

>thinking of watching the Madrid game despite being broadcasted at 2 AM here and having a meeting tomorrow
Fuck that. I'll watch it.
