    Passing sliders

    Sports Management Degree

    Just curious if anyone has a BA/BS or MA in Sports Management? I'm looking at going into a MA program and thought why not ask this forum (I don't think that FM playing guy who works for Baku FC posts here)

    Creating Uniform Combinations-Help

    Hey guys, I'm trying to set up my team with two different shorts options. One blue and one white for both the home and away. I've done it before, but I don't remember how to now. I know it has something to do with the "Alternative jersey number" field. The default for all options is zero...
