Think I just had the best miss of FM18 for me so far.... Nice attacking sequence, my left winger clips a long thru ball that my slow-*** striker gets onto and just at the byline, cuts it back across the goal. The keeper is about 2/3 of the way toward the near post. My right winger comes in to the far post. He's about even with the post, so he has about 2/3 of the goal open in front of him from 2 yards out. His shot is back directly into the keeper. FML.
...and the s**t show continues.
So my team are 2-0 up at Home against fellow strugglers Leiston with 11 mins left to play...so instruct team to play containing football whilst 'shout' was to concentrate.
This was the final score...

** "oh for f**ks sake" "bulls**t!" and "boll**s...I'm never playing this sodding game again!" were just a few obscenities mentioned after that game **

Ongoing save...
Boston United:
Ashley Hemmings chased by a whole load of league clubs at the end of 17/18, agent playing hard ball. No way in **** am I going to be able to get the guy to sign a new contract but when he inevitably leaves, I get the blame.
Go from Boston United to Airdrie, middle of 18/19 first question from journos say that Boston United think I've been disloyal, I had been being chased by English league clubs and some reasonably big Scottish guns all season! You don't turn those sort of clubs down.
Get told by Airdrie chairman to just get/keep the team out of relegation trouble but the players consider me unambitious for passing that on.
Before the end of 18/19 I put Airdrie on their greatest unbeaten league run since the club's reincarnation...we're in a higher league position than the club has been all season...and yet 39% of fans think I should get the sack.
Media claim I'm under pressure/about to get the sack from Airdrie, board confidence meter says otherwise.
Media ask my why I'm not playing Willis Furtado in a tunnel interview, possibly because George Paterson has been my regular starter in that position.
19/20...sell Paterson to top flight side Motherwell. Furtado becomes my starting left mid...and then immediately says he wants to leave.

This is the worst fm in ages. Every time I turn it on its being turned off again after 3 games at most. Dreadfull it really is
I had a similar error, i managed to fix this by going to preferences and interface, clear the cache and check/tick the reload skin option, consider lowering graphics detail also look at amount of leagues your running anything under 2 - 2 1/2 stars when stting countries and leagues can cause problems.
also be wary of other programs running in the background, as not all the memory issues have to be from FM.
I have upgraded my laptop since then but worked for me at the time.
what what i gather this is a memory dump issue the above options should work to reduce memory usage and improve the overall speed of game.
The other issue when going from Boston United to Airdrie. Airdrie initially offer me a contract of £400 per week which was less than what Boston United were paying me(£425 per week). I haggle up to £450 per week. Deal done.
I then later check my personal profile and then find I'm still on only £400 per week! Gah!

Art, er, video game imitating life.
If you ask me, it has no place in a manager game. As if Arsene would value drama queen TV pundits and newspaper match reports to assess how his forward performed. The game's feedback needs be much smarter. XD

I seem to concede a clear cut chance every attack where my opposition crosses the ball - why?! its infuriating, tried to man mark wingers, close them down, hit them hard, show onto weaker foot, nothing seems to change this, then the striker(s) can be left/closed down/marked tightly etc and they still get to the ball first EVERY time... happens whether my team are a deep line or high light, attack minded or counter what am i missing?
It does work perfectly for me, I can play 6-7 hours straight mate...

So done with this game. All I want is a tactic that allows my squad to play consistently at about the level you'd expect. I don't want to play a game-breaking three-striker tactic and go Vanarama North to Champions League in 6 seasons, I want to slowly build up a squad and progress though the divisions.
But this game is feast or famine. I take over a team predicted to finish 4th, build a normal, no-frills tactic with no cheating. Until February I'm running away with the division, 13 point clear, only two losses all year--it feels a bit too easy. From February, I can't buy a win. Strikers can't score basic chances, multiple sendings off, morale collapses. Defeat after defeat.
Maybe I can drag the team over the line and get automatic promotion or play offs, but it's not realistic and it's certainly not fun.

What’s going on with players ignoring the ball? Usually when defending a corner, the ball is cleared and the player told to stay forward ignores the ball to get back into their position. I conceded a goal in one game because of this bug.
I think that would be more a question for the tactics thread, such a generic question would be impossible to answer, can you post screenshot of tactic and team instructions?

My players seem to forget how to score in finals. Scored in all bit 4 league games yet had the fa cup and community shield where we failed to score in both. Bottle jobs at there finest
OK...it's December 2020. Am Airdrie manager, we are the team to beat in Scottish L1...and south of the border, the Brentford job becomes available! Brentford are one of my character's favoured clubs, is a jump from the top of Scottish L1 to the lower end of the English Championship doable? Let's see.
Well Brentford give me an interview, and they question my limited managierial experience in England(one and a half seasons with Boston United prior to Airdrie!). They then give the job...to just-retired one-time England international Matty Jarvis! Who has no managierial experience whatsoever! Brentford fans not impressed and neither am I!

So I took a shining to managing in Liga MX in Mexico on FM17, having two fun saves with Pumas. For FM18, I've continued that but with Lobos BUAP. A club that is a far cry from being one Mexico's grandes. They are a university club in Pueba that were a surprise promotion. They are a second division club in pretty much every way, but hey, they've got a cool logo. I had two saves with them earlier on FM18, but both died for the same reason - money. Liga MX has strong attendances (in reality and in-game), but cheap tickets mean you don't get tons of money that way (and BUAP have the lowest attendance by a large margin). all clubs are heavily reliant on sponsorship deals and especially the individual TV deals. But on those first two saves, the new sponsorship deals didn't improve much. The club reputation went up notably, but the new deals were almost the exact same size as ones signed while Lobos were still in the 2nd division. The club was losing about 4m a season, so that's not really sustainable. I posted it as a bug and it apparently got looked at. So I decided to try a new save.
The aperatura went well. Finished sixth so made the liguilla (playoffs). And won. That was wholly unexpected. I managed that on one of the earlier saves but with rage quits that meant it wasn't a legit accomplishment. This time, no rage quit replays. We had to get past Tigres but we avoided other powerhouse sides otherwise. Almost the entire way through the closure and sitting in first (equally unexpected), but really, will be content so long as we make the playoffs.
The squad isn't good for this level, really. About 2/3 of the first team players are on loan from around Mexico and there are zero good prospects at the start. I found a few first-day newgens and signed them up. One of two have played a role so far. The best is a Mexican rightback (well, actually a right-footed leftback who is being retrained) with strong starting skills for a 16 year old but he lacks top end potential. He's 17 now and starting regularly. I was going to offer him a new deal and accidentally clicked on DoF negotiate it. Immediate regret. I went in and he had offered him a deal as a Key Player. The release clause was at least reasonably high. After he accepted, I dropped his squad status. But I had him complain about playing time after 3 starts in a row and one match where he didn't start. Blame the DoF for that. Asshat.
Second grr.... Amongst the first-day newgens I snapped up were several from South America. The best of them is Brazilian who was 15 at the time and 5 star potential. Loads of flair and versatile but small and not all the quick for a winger. He's two footed, though. He can't join until he's 18, but he can be "on trial" so he can play in youth matches, train, etc. He's pretty good on the left wing so I've been training him to play on the right as well. And he's improved more than anyone else. He's reasonably well rounded, so I've given some consideration to retraining him at both fullback spots, as he could be an excellent complete wingback (assuming his pace and stamina both improve). But the frustration.... he doesn't join until December 2019. He's already pushing to be one of my better players but can't feature for another 18 months. Gah.
Final grr.... still losing money. Over 4m and we aren't through the first full season yet. Still 2-3 months away in-game from when new sponsorship deals will come through so don't know yet if they will improve enough to compensate for the losses. Really want to be able to dump some money into facilities as they are pretty poor to start with. But the only other option is to start selling players. Very few have the quality to attract interest from clubs that can and will pay except a couple of the prospects. I would happily lose that rightback.... but it will probably be clubs coming after the players I need more lol.
