Coalville Town after doing about 30 simulations from the date it generates the promoted teams, done it in the background during work at home Rep is like 1800 which seems to be the lowest of teams likely to come up. Anything less than that is very rare. The Met Police was an option but I opted for the mighty Coalville. They’ve got no youth set up at all or at the very least very, very basic and limited. Strong FA Cup runs will be vital to get the funds and grow. No scouting etc is perfect for me really these days too, just don’t have the same time to enjoy the game - getting olders shite!

Orangeclement 570 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 There is a database in the steam workshop that has a full on British league all put into the English pyramid system only downside I've come across is the number of games in the 2nd half of the season as there are 24 teams in the top league added with the European games you end up playing every 2 days if you are successful in the cups.

aird 3,799 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Does anyone have the in game editor and can check something for me? I'm currently doing a Rangers save, 2nd season. So the B team aren't in the lowland league any more and don't play matches. I'm just wanting to see if I can add them to a league midway through a save using the editor before I buy it.

There will be a mod in steam workshop that probably does this though, you'd need to start a new save though. aird 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my probably my final save for this year, so looks like I'll need to exploit the loan market for my players. esquire8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option is unchecked in the database for the reserve team to enter the reserve league due to having a b team. SI have no interest in adding highland and lowland leagues. Use one of the custom databases you can download that adds the entire pyramid structure and puts us and the tarrier b teams in league 2 but can't get promoted past league 1.

Essandoh 21,224 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Holidayed into like end of 2022, early 2023 as an unemployed no badge Sunday league experience manager as I always do. Applied for jobs but only considered ones I really fancied. Got Slough Town dead bottom of blue square south (it’ll always be that name to me) who hadn’t won in 15 games and were 13 points from safety about halfway or just over into the season. I’m on matchday 37 now of a 46 game season and I’ve climbed to 22nd, with one place above me before safety. However, that 13 point gap is now a mere 5 points. I recruited well and took my chances with 6 loans from leagues above with nowhere near enough time to scout properly. Most have hit the ground running and my trusted FM22 4-4-2 diamond formation with a trademark Half Back and Carrilero inclusion has worked wonders - only 3 losses in around ~10+ games. Life can be shite but there’s always FM. I love it. J-Maestro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I absolutely fucked it before loaning out keepers, and ended up with a season of Ross Doohan on the bench, luckily Onana stayed fit. The only available free keeper that wasn't fit for part time football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,224 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I’ll buy it anyway because I’ve had every edition since 2005 plus the champ mans before it and I suppose I’ve actually ended up collecting them now (albeit for the most part digitally on Steam) But those ‘new features’ are incredibly disappointing Its beyond belief that set pieces are still such a clusterfuck. For example, in terms of not being able to rank who you want attacking the front post at a corner so that if there’s any changes to tactics or players on the pitch then the team knows how to re-organise for your set piece routine. Instead they all panic like morons and you've now got your Jumping 17 centre back now staying back with your 5’5 left winger with Bravery 1 marking the keeper There’s no excuse for that being neglected for so long it’s piss poor Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,224 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Also international management has been dead for as long as I can remember I accept they can’t really do anything about the long periods between games but other than a very mundane National Pool screen there’s next to nothing to do. You can’t even do the training, why? And when you go to the World Cup or any other tournament your players are shattered after 3 games meaning if you go far in the completion you either have to play an eleven of exhausted players or start essentially reserve players in the Final. No national team fully rotates a squad like that in real life Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,627 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I made a very quick custom DB last night where I've put us and Celtic in England. Currently letting it sim a few seasons while I'm working to see if it's worth playing. We got relegated in our first season and we are struggling to even get into the playoff spots in the second season. Celtic are going to be relegated in the second season. Weirdly we have stuck with Gio, while they have sacked Postecoglu and Ranieri and are now onto Koeman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 43,013 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Just watched a bunch of youtubers play the alpha FM23. Far from convinced. The match engine looks and plays exactly the same with little bits here and there that add nothing. Sticking with FM22. Probably download the season extender mod once I'm finished my Rangers save.
