    Making your own skin?

    Over at the SI forums? I don't really want to burden people I know it's a hassle, but just really sort of understand the structure of a skin so I know what sort of changes I can make. For example I know how to change fonts, but according to the different files inside the "fonts" folders, I tend...

    Making your own skin?

    Hi everyone! I'm really interested in learning how to make my own skin. Obviously I don't have the fully knowledge to make one from scratch, but I'm taking the framework of the nicer skins out there and just by studying them I'm trying to learn how to customize them, but I'm still confused...

    No "fluid", "structured", etc, in the tactic screen?

    FM Base Skin '2020

    This skin looks great, but there are specific bugs that have gone unfixed that leave the skin unusable unfortunately.

    4-3-3 DM wide - Can't get good ratings for my STC

    Hi all, As usual, I'm going with a tiki-taka 4-3-3 just to get used to the match engine. However, as it was for many points with last year's game, my lone striker just can't play well, usually with very low ratings (never over 7.00). I've tried the formations that come by default and of my own...

    Do classic 4-3-3 formations work anymore?

    Hello all, Haven't posted in a long, long time. Just got around to playing FM 18 and I'm somewhat surprised with the tactics "revamps" (as SI calls it) and ME results. In previous FM versions, I was pro 4-3-3 (classic SK; WB, BPD, BPD, WB; HB; AP, DLP; IF, IF, F9) possession, slow paced...

    Emulating the unexpected - Leicester: To Olympus and beyond!

    A Story of Ultimate Glory As we all know, Leicester and Sir (or at least he should be) Claudio Ranieri have taken the world by storm. Will Leicester hang on? That’s the big question now. Will they be able to keep Tottenham at bay? Only the Gods know that at this point. We can say it’s that...

    Changes in performance in latest patch - CWB vs WB? - Looking for some kind help!

    Guys, Sorry for tthe nuisance, but I have to ask. Ever since the latest update came around, my tactic went from flawless to a complete disaster (maybe that's an exageration, but close enough). I've tinkered around with roles and players, training, and positions, but nothing. My latest...

    Most underachieving player?

    I invite you to please let me know what player just never plays up to par and you end up selling him for far less his real value. It's probably the most frustarting thing that can happen when things are going well for your team. My case? Gast?n Ram?rez. I spent 3 seasons trying to get him to...

    Patch 14.1.4 - Please kill me now!!!

    Anyone else feels compeltely screwed by the new patch? Anyone seeing their defender get stuck to the ground? Anyone set pieces becoming street fights? Anyone see corner kicks becoming a concert slam that somehow ends in a goal for the opposing team? Anyone has felt the need to adjust tactics...

    Tactics issues

    I'm a big fan of time wasting (especially when ahead against bigger teams), but I can't seem to find that function in the "team" sections of the tactics menu. Help please?

    Help creating a tactic to upload, Please!!

    Folks, I've had the pleasure of testing and compare many tactics by some great minds here (JJ86, Raikan, among others). Every tactic uploaded have designs that can't be recreated with the tactic creator (for example, the use of arrows representing player movements) and the team and player...
