So far I've resisted the temptation to get FM2018 but those considered immersion touches are selling it to me. You playing on PC or tablet @Stan? Assuming PC from the picture. yep, PC. Never played it on any other platform so can't really comment what it's like on tablet (or smartphone). My brother plays it on his phone though and gets through a season in about 2 days because it is heavily stripped down understandably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played FM2015 on the iPad with an enhanced engine, it still didn't feel like playing the PC version. I did lose some of my will to live on the PC version given how long it takes to get through it. I still love CM9798 for it's simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham (my title rivals; we're joint top in January in our hunt for promotion to the Premier League) made 2 bids of £4.5m and £5.25m for my main centre-back Adam Webster. He's valued at the latter and is my mainstay in the team, first name on teamsheet so to speak. West Ham then offer £7.25m and Marcus Evans, my chairman, says it's too good to refuse. I can't bear the thought of losing my best centre-back to the title rivals and only getting £1.5m to get an equally good centre-back as replacement. Then I see an option to 'Protest Transfer'. Clicked on that... Just hope the player doesn't kick up a fuss about it! The stress of it all seems to have hit you hard for you to change skin colour Stan.

As you mentioned, it is heavily stripped down (no 3D match engine, no dynamic, squads are usually smaller, no interviews etc) but if you want simplicity, the mobile version is the best one as you can usually burn through games quite quickly.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted December 4, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 4, 2017 A few versions ago this started happening with transfer fees where the AI would accept bids from other AI teams for say £10m then you'd bid the same for that player and they'd want £14m and 20% sell on and laughed you out of the room if you tried to negotiate down to the same as other clubs. Such bullshit and surely easily fixed by the developers but it stayed in for a few versions. Not sure if this was still a thing on FM17 due to my tendency to play in stupid leagues with negligible transfer budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really took the fun out of it at first considering we were the smallest team in The Championship at one point. I used to hate when you enquire for a player and they'd demand fourty million only for him to join another team for four million a couple of weeks later.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted December 17, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 17, 2017 Anyone ever done an editor database? If I ever bothered to learn how to do it I'd seriously contemplate a new league system where I merge the 55 domestic leagues of Europe into 8 regionalised leagues - with the top 4 of each 20 team top flight getting Champions League places and the next 4 down getting Europa League places meaning each competition will have a simple 32 team group stage. The thinking is to balance European football somewhat so you've got more powerful teams all over the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not done anything major although there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you'd like to learn. I'm guessing your Leicester save didn't get off the ground then? Lasted three games before I went back to 17. I just didn't like 18 at all, not even just a "god I'm shit at this" dislike I just didn't like the game, I'm not sure I ever will.

A 12 tiered European league system. Only took a couple of hours. Holidaying it as unemployed and Arsenal are top of the top division ahead of United, Madrid and Barcelona which is a bit stupid.

...Dan 758 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm still playing FM16. A strange thing has happened in my current save (I'm Partizan manager), it took PSG four years to win the league. They lost out to Monaco the first season and then Marseille two years in a row. PSG are usually so dominant on this game. Marseille have also just won the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been contemplating using it to get the wage handicap off countries and to drop the home grown rule in China to make it more interesting. I've been keen to revamp the way the qualifiers work for the World Cup and the number of teams in The Euros but I've always started a long save before getting round to it.
