I agree with WJ. Balance can be the key difference between a good player and a great player. If you check the attributes of the great dribblers/attackers, (Rinaldo,Messi, Kaka,Zidane) you'll find they all possess very good balance. Think about when you run at defences, when tackle comes in , if...

Yeah, not just Benfica, also Porto and other Portuguese teams, they sign Brazilian wonder kids out of no where (I mean my scouts never find them), and these players' value quickly become so high, but they still on less than 3 mil/y contract, and they never moan about going to a bigger club. When...

When I start the game, I've already decided whether I'll manager one team for ten years or I'll move around. I take different approach with long term plan and short term plan. I found it more fun to move every 3 seasons or so, with job interviews, even interviews when you are without a job, and...

I'm managing Tottenham, and Hugo Lloris is just letting me down. I don't know if you guys feel the same, or just me. Goals against me always give me the feeling that our keeper could have done more. Lloris has decent stats, except for work rate, in which a lot of keepers aren't so high. In...

This is a fun thread. I was playing FM08 in the dorm back in college, and that was FM in 2D. My opponent was given a penalty kick, but from where I saw, my defender took the ball cleanly, so I shouted at the screen"there's no way this is a penalty", everyone in the corridor heard me, and they...

Foreword This guide is intended to explain both the general gameplay and tactical side of Football Manager games. I’ve been playing Football Manager since 2006, and am by no means a master of the game. This is just what I learned over the years, and what I think general opinion is wrong. To...

Serie A ref rage day?

Under development screen.

Lucas Melano is pretty good.

At this point, I'm really sure. I'm managing Inter Milan, and I chose to let Piero Ausilio go at the end of his contract, and signed Miguel Pardeza (former Real Madrid director of football) because I thought Pardeza had better stats. But when I tried to sign a young player and let Pardeza...

I don't think playing a high d-line with slow CBs against pacey strikers is fundamentally wrong. The OP mentioned his defenders have the BEST attributes in EVERY aspect except pace, meaning the CBs are very concentrated, make great positioning decisions, dominate in the air during the game. So...

Not much new, but these guys are doing a fine job for me. however, I haven't brought the best out of Mateo Kovacic yet. I play him as roaming playmaker, and I want him to play as Cesc Fabregas is doing for Chelsea at the moment. And clearly there's some distance here. Any suggestions?

hey guys, I really like having the jersey with player number and name on it by the player picture, is this a special add-on or it comes with certain skins only? Thanks.

Well said! I also noticed in this year's game, my own player react very quickly upon my tactical tweaks during a match. I have had some very proud comebacks because of my last 10 minutes tactical changes, so well done SI. Except for some awkward UI changes, I'm loving FM15 so far.

Thanks for answering, Dec. Then how about preferred foot, I don't see that either.
