Alexander Clark
Thanks for this breaking news. Heard Neville Chamberlain might declare war on Germany soon btw.
Kevin Reed
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
Noah Jackson
>Gladbach >good
Liam Brooks
>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.
Grayson Morris
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.
Sebastian Evans
I guess it's time for Germany to go. Never liked them desu
William Russell
>Gladbach >United >good Almost got me there.
Jace Garcia
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.
Jackson Hernandez
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.
Jaxon Gray
>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.

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.
Luis Sanchez
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.
Liam Davis
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

Grayson Howard

Grayson Long
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.

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.

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
Angel Cox
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.

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.
Connor Jones
I'm just always assertive.
Ryder Taylor
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.
Angel Richardson
And it means that there's a "final" for qualification in my group. I perhaps could watch that.
Nicholas Martinez
Forgot I can't since both matches are on the same day. Bummer.

in a one-off game it's fine, in a two-legged game you regularly get nonsense like what france mentioned
For me, I only get aggressive if we're losing, if we don't play to standards, I say aggressive phrases assertively
Joseph Lee
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.
Nicholas Collins
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.

Henry Hall
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.

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.

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.

>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.

Liam Bailey
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.
Juan Campbell
>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.

Asher Ross
>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.

Zachary Peterson
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.
