LFCMarshall's FM14 update suggestion thread

[GryWlkr]

Celtic:

Haakon Lunov - First team coach
Garry Parker has left
Danny McGrain is now an under 19's coach
John Kennedy has been promoted to first team coach

Any chance you could give Amido Balde a downgrade? He's not up to par in real life, but is a beast in the game. I'd recommend pulling down the physical attributes and his CA/PA by 10 each.

Position Change in Hólmbert Friðjónsson - LW - 20 ST - 19

Adam Matthews can play both right back/wing back and left

Lewis Toshney and Bahrudin Atajić were given new contracts, contrary to reports i read not long ago that said they were released.

could you downgrade darnell fisher too, he's only a reserve player and has made baby steps towards the first team and looks as though he'll be let go or sold, but in the game has attributes better than matthews.

and last but not least, callum mcgregor and liam henderson could be doing with a slight upgrade. callum is first team regular now and has scored in the last couple of champions league qualifiers, i'd slot him in as a natural CAM too, he looks to be a good commons replacement in the long term. Henderson not so much, but he is up and coming, his attributes just look all over the place and at random.

i know how you are with confirmation, but keep an eye out for samaras making a return to parkhead. his agent has been making noises on twitter about an agreement almost reached. delia said he's looking to finalise one more signing before the CL registration tomorrow (11th) we're not linked with anyone else, so it must be the big man!

yep

A few changes to the Cardiff team as I have been to a few of the Austria tour games and some players have really impressed;

Guido Burgstaller; 10 free kick taking, 13 creativity, 12 decisions, 14 passing, 14 balance, 12 aggression. He deserves an upgrade as he impressed in Austria and against Wolfsburg and Blackburn.

Fabio; Increased strength to maybe 12 or 13, Technique maybe to 15, crossing and dribbling up to 14, anticipation to 11 or 12 possibly. All those I feel he showed signs of improvement against Blackburn and Wolfsburg.

Whitts; Slight CA upgrade not by much though, free kicks up to 14 or 15 as the current ability at 12 seems a tad unfair on him being a dead ball specialist, same with his corners too. First touch, decisions, pace and agility down slightly but otherwise no drastic changes needed.

Brayford; CA and PA upgrade as he has shown that he has improved, specifically changes in Jump reach to 12, marking and passing up to 13 and 14 respectively.

Gunnar; Needs an upgrade similar to Brayford, all of the above going up, off the ball getting slightly done up, balance could get upgraded a little and the same with his strength as Hanley and Malanda were struggling to out muscle him when he had the ball.

Declan John; Pace could get up to 15 or 16, determination could go up to around 14, his flair positioning and teamwork could go up a few notches but that would be about that for him, maybe a PA increase to -8 or -9 but completely up to you

Marshall; Could do with a boost, CA up as Premier League teams are still interested.

Mason; Out on loan at Bolton and could do with some upgraded physicals.

Medel; Even though he has now been sold to Inter (Confirmed) his physicals could also be in with a shout of being upgraded especially his strength.

Moore: Could do with a boost in CA and PA, goalkeeping (the column) stats could be upgraded a fair bit, in particular his 1v1's, handling and command of area.

Noone: Pace should definitely be upgraded and he should have an injury lasting until the middle of September.

Obviously other people will think that I am biased because I am a Cardiff fan but I feel these upgrades and downgrades are needed

will take a look

Few more:

Blaise Matuidi- Up his Reputation a lot. make him MC 19, Passing 15, Work Rate 19, Teamwork 19, Heading 11, Long Shots 12, Marking 14, CA 159, PA 169.

Adrien Rabiot- Up his rep, -9 or 164 PA (you decide).

Mesut Özil- Consistency 10, Work Rate 9, Finishing 12.

David Alaba- Very underrated. Crossing 15, Free kicks 13, Dribbling 13, Agility 16. Up his Rep, 163 CA.

Éder Álvarez Balanta- I know this one is tricky, because he was an obvious buy for almost everyone. But I watched him closely from the release of FM 14 and i dont think there is any chance of him being -10 PA. I suggest -9 PA.
His weight is 84 kg, also 11 decisions, 12 composure.

Sorry for the total randomness of players, i´m just checkin your database and write everything what comes to my mind. Thanks!

yep

Modaser Zekria from Enskede IK to IK Brage

yep

David Alaba - I definitely agree.

Balanta - Decisions and Composure stats are listed as "0" in the database editor which means they are random. (1 - 20) I would agree with you though he is probably a -9 but please Marshall keep him as a -10 because I need him to be awesome!

My Suggestions:

Marco Reus - Underrated, his CA needs a boost imo.

others will look at Reus was suggested a few pages back

Celtic:

Haakon Lunov - First team coach
Garry Parker has left
Danny McGrain is now an under 19's coach
John Kennedy has been promoted to first team coach

thanks mate

yep

Thanks mate - yes, if you would like it would be good if you could continue to give you suggestions like these

yep


Thanks mate - will take a look through them.. first page has all info

Just a quick response - not sure what you are looking regarding Walcott... he has a better CA than both the players mentioned and is also faster?

Stats wise I thought he was a lot more accurate before and didn't really deserve to have an upgrade or downgrade. He had a pa downgrade which meant that every stat had lowered.

 

[damola3]

David Alaba - I definitely agree.

Balanta - Decisions and Composure stats are listed as "0" in the database editor which means they are random. (1 - 20) I would agree with you though he is probably a -9 but please Marshall keep him as a -10 because I need him to be awesome!

My Suggestions:

Marco Reus - Underrated, his CA needs a boost imo.

Imo Matuidi needs higher long shots than 12 and 14-15 is more accurate. He also likes to place early shots In the near post therefore early shots, likes to shoot from distance and places shots should be selected as ppms.

Rabiot is an easy -9.

With Ozil I agree with the finishing, however my media fuelled myth that he is lazy is untrue as he had covered more ground than players which had played the same number of minutes or less. Tbh it is his determination and leadership skills which should be low and already low. Ozil is a very consistent player and you see the effect on the team when he doesn't play. He isn't a talisman but make things tick (alot like Coutinho at Liverpool).

Alaba is very good with take ons and should be round Luke Shaw quality 14-16. I agree with the rest though.

Reus doesn't have amazing stats but he does have a high ca and he is already amazing. I got him from Gladbach in the FM 2012 days and he was a god.

 

[LFCMarshall]

CA has been dropped from 157-155
Attacking mid left, composure, crossing have been increased by one - they are the only changes made to Walcott in my update

 

[damola3]

Imo I don't really think that any stats should have been touched tbh because of the weird way stats are redistributed. Walcott should be no more than 16 at AML as he has only played as an IF 3 times I can remember. The only problem I have with increasing stats and lowering ca is that other key stats lower and run players. He is transfer list fodder now. I think that touching stats wasn't necessary.

Yes the ratings are slightly weird but Walcott is still a first team Arsenal player on ratings - or at the least rotation. He is no where near a player on the transfer list

If you have a pirate copy it wont work, you need update 14.3 ... if you have a normal copy it will be because you have more than one custom file selected so it is conflicting

 

[pero1994]

i got some with patch,can you hit some good torrent link to downloaded it wich would work great with you transfers?

I like to think of the guys that made this game possible as my pals. They're accessible on Twitter, they want feedback and your suggestions on the future. They're just normal guys, not your average celebrity. I understand people don't have money to pay for the game, but why not get it for Christmas? or a birthday? or save up yourself, it usually only is around £30 and as the months go on, the price comes down. If you have a pirate copy, your save can be placed into the legitimate version of the game, meaning when you convert, you're not losing anything, only gaining!

If I were the Steven Naismith of FM, I'd buy everyone the game, who reached March and were still pirating because they haven't figured out a way to afford the real one yet.
