Oh fair enough, it must be me then. I think I have missed more pens on this game then I did on 16 and I have only clocked 8 hours game time so far.

I think I have missed more pens on this game then I did on 16 and I have only clocked 8 hours game time so far. I had one player who is rated 19 for penalties and has a terrible record. In 4 seasons out of 8 with me, he's scored 4 out of 9. Less than 50% success record which is why I think it's terrible. I took him off penalty duty for my main striker (whose penalty stat is slightly lower at 17) and in the other 4 seasons he's scored 14 out of 18.

Administrator Stan 18,366 Posted July 9, 2017 Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2017 Love the way the game replicates how Chinese clubs would bid for players. I've got a player valued at £31.5m. Most clubs would try to undercut it by a few million. Jiangsu come in with a massive £62m straight up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,366 Posted July 13, 2017 Administrator Share Posted July 13, 2017 no matter how many seasons you have gone through in the game, nothing is sweeter than a final-day title showdown. Especially when you score twice in the last few minutes to secure it after going a goal down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I just wanted to make sure it was still available as I'd like to use it as a template for next season as I quite liked the content I was putting out - trying different things. Unlikely I'll be updating that thread anymore though due to the time it was taking to put an interesting post together. On 7/2/2017 at 4:00 AM, Dan said: I usually have three updates a season. Summer, November international break and March international break (which for some reason is always 3 weeks on my game). I like posting all the results but it does get a bit cluttered too. Definitely think I need to look at doing what @R-D has done in the past as regards to having hyperlinks to each player. I think 4 updates a season is probably my preferred; summer transfer, results up to end of December, January, rest of season. Sometimes a May update if there's some big finals. Hyperlinks or embed in spoilers is a good way to keep it uncluttered, but can be time consuming and then there's always the "is it worth it?" aspect if people aren't arsed.

Far too many are missed for my liking, especially straight down the middle of the goal. Unless it's my keeper, then it will come down the middle and he'll flap it into the corner.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted July 16, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 16, 2017 While I was enjoying the format of my new diary, I don't see myself completing that challenge on this version as I simply don't have time and some of my gaming hours are shared with F1 and other things. Think I'll leave the diaries for now then start a new hexagon challenge on FM 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted July 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 29, 2017 Looks like my Hexagon Challenge thread has been archived which is good because I pretty much sacked off that game, ultimately decided it was stupid to start in Europe then go to the likes of Africa and Oceania. Therefore I started again with the bottom three leagues of Oceania loaded - Tuvalu, Micronesia and Wallis & Futuna (sp?). Will probably just update in here if I stick with that one because I can't be bothered doing the write-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted July 29, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 29, 2017 I've sacked mine off as well. I actually did a couple more seasons but didn't update it on here. I've started terribly in the season after that and my aspirations for the year are basically in tatters by September. New one incoming though.

Administrator Stan 18,366 Posted August 6, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 6, 2017 I've got a 23-year old centre back who's been with me for a couple of seasons. Atletico Madrid showed interest and he's stated he wants to go there. They've just won La Liga so I've agreed that if they come in with a reasonable offer (£25m) I'll let him speak to them and he can move if he wants to. So Atletico eventually bid for him at the desired £25m. Sheff Utd (recently promoted) and Wolves also bid the same amount. I accept all offers. Atletico's reputation over time has rocketed to much higher than it used to be and now one of the top 5 clubs in the game. Wolves currently in the Premier League but they and Sheff Utd have very small budgets. Who does he choose to go to after kicking up a fuss about leaving? Sheffield United. Of course.

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Been playing as Palace as a quick game to kill time (international management is really, really boring) and my God i'm glad I found Ipswich when I did because I am absolutely shite with everybody else.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted September 11, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2017 I had a funny relationship with this iteration of FM because I bought it late and it was my first new version since about 2012 that I've lasted on. Had one great career game on it though where I rattled through season after season in Sao Tome & Principe, Burkina Faso, Zambia, Algeria and Tunisia but just lost the enthusiasm when I moved to South America. Have tried to start new, similar journeyman games since but can't stick to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted September 15, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm still on it but I always forget to update and it's a vicious cycle where it just goes round and round and I don't ever end up updating on anything. I binned Fylde after losing in the National League play-off final and looked like I was going to end up in the play-offs again. It had potential but I just fancied managing better players to be honest so I've ended up at Nantes, yet again. Bit of a 'meh' first season in the league but given Nantes are predicted 13th, and have finished thereabouts for the last three years I don't think 10th and a cup final against Monaco at the end of the season is a bad return at all. Nicely run club with some really talented younger players coming through. I'd imagine this'll see me through to FM18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Been tempted to start a new game but not sure with FM18 not far away. Had a Wrexham file going but with it only hitting the first friendly, I'm not sure if it's worth continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also interested in doing saves with Real Oviedo and Union Berlin but I'm unsure which of these two will come to light, hopefully both. I was going to do a save with Barnet. The most boring side I could think of in the English Football Pyramid to try and make them half interesting. But then Frank De Boer came along.
