    Better for speed:?

    More leagues, and fewer custom selected database types, or the reverse? I ask because I keep getting low game speeds, but maxed out computer performance ranks, and it is CRAWLING to get through a day or two. Is the database just for loading real players, and everything else would be regens?

    Declaring interest in a club?

    So, I'm an unemployed *** (ahem, sounds too much like real life, that) and none of my opening applications amounted in a job offer (did have a few interviews but took some risks in answering questions) Now I see there are some jobs with very unstable coaches, but I thought there was a button to...

    Is my assistant an idiot?

    So, I'm starting to think i shouldn't even read my assistant's scouting report, because in every game i ever play, he says "Think it's gonna be a 4-4-2, Boss." And I go and look for my latest game, v. Bayern Munchen, and they've started a 4-4-2 a whopping single time! Great intel there.

    When playing out of position...

    will/can a player learn that position? or is that relegated only to the actual training of new positions?

    In match comment "Getting burned"

    Is this message just saying the the named player isn't pacey enough to keep up with the attacking player?

    Closing down/tight marking on GK?

    has anyone tried, and or had any success giving the instruction to close down and or tightly mark an opposing GK? Or for that matter telling a striker to man mark him? I'm wondering if it might cause a skittish GK to play some bad balls if he's got someone bearing down on him...

    Do you "game" the referee?

    if so how? Their statistics mean little to me, as far as how they'll call a game? if so how? do you just base it off of rating, and if it's a low rating, play an easier game, believing that you'll see more yellows?

    Any reason to schedule away friendlies?

    Topic says it all, basically. Does scheduling friendlies away from home give any sort of invisible benefit? I know i get some revenue from "ticket sales", but what about going away from home?

    Convos about a players future intentions

    So, with most players, if you're looking at their future plans, it's relatively easy to know what to talk about with them. If it says they want to get into to coaching to be a head coach, you suggest that. However, I have one situation that isn't so obvious. I've got a player that wants to get...

    Scouting for free transfers?

    Is there a way to search/scout specifically for players on a free transfer? I tried limiting the scout to "asking price is at most 0", but my scout came back the next day and said he was done and no one was worth recommending.

    Faster way to rest players?

    So. I have a problem. After winning the promotion play off to get into German D1, everyone got sent off on holiday. I schedule a friendly for about a week after their return, and when the game comes up, EVERYONE is EXHAUSTED (apparently, the Germans did nothing but drink) I play through that...

    Formations: How different is different enough?

    First, sorry for blasting new posts all day, trying to get a better understanding. Elsewhere, I've seen it suggested that in order to keep teams guessing as to what you'll play, you should have different formations you can go to to start a game with. What I'm wondering is how different is...

    Goalkeeper Unhappy I'm not training him hard enough...

    So I've got Kiraly as my GK, he's 36, oughta be happy to still be playing, but the guys unhappy that i'm not working him hard enough. I've got him focus training to heavy, working on taking longer free kicks (and can't teach him to play a new position) What else can i do, other than tell the...

    Need some help with wages

    So, I know I'm a bit late getting to FM 2013 but oh well. I started as a sunday leaguer, as an unemployed manager, and signed with 1860 Munchen in d2 in Germany. Despite only having mid table aspirations at the start of the season, i've been quite successful, working my way up into 3rd in the...
