It's quite simple, whats your ocd when playing Football manager?
Mine is that no one in the team has the #32 shirt because I hate Carlos Tevez with passion.
Why the **** not lol.I won't sign any players whose history mentions a B team, i.e. PSG Reserves, Real Madrid B, Baskonia, Bayern II etc. Lost out on thousands of great players that way
Why the **** not lol.
I dunno man, guess it looks messy and unlike what you'd see in real life. You know when you see a player who's been at, say, PSG for 5 years but not been starting 11 and each season lists both the first team and the reserves, regardless of whether he's played any games for either? That **** gets on my ****, and I don't know why it's started happening with French and Dutch teams, plus some Croatian and Romanian ones, it used to just be Spanish and German ones. But I know I'm being illogical and **** about it, that's why I've put it here, not under 'Supercool, clever and amazing things you do in FM that make perfect sense'.
In a similar vein, but possibly even worse, and again to do with player histories, is back in CM97/98 when cup and European games used to count toward the total so a player's history could say he played 60 games in a season. Again didn't look realistic so I used to restrict my players to 38 games combined in Spain and England, and 34 everywhere else. Used to plan ahead to make sure my best players would be 'eligible' for Champions League finals etc.
Is this the winner so far?
Yep you win. :O
I could be playing with a 0-0-11 formation and I'd still have my subs set up the same

How often, if ever, have you had a keeper injured/sent off? I've never quite been brave enough not to have a keeper on the bench...but think it probably is worth the gamble.
I will never sign a contract with a team, if I'm not able to put on sunglasses and make their name sound cool. Really, I'm not gonna sit around and say "Derby" or "Crotone" for five years.
Suit up for every kind of finale. Don't care if it's the Checkatrade or the Champions League Finale, at least put on a tie and respect it. Also, if possible, play the relevant cups theme song during pre game.
Never sign a third choice goalie under the age of 33 or from another country. I want a country grown old **** sitting on the bench three times a year, picking up just enough wages to afford the fare home, whilst teaching my youngsters how to make a woman squirt. Preferences people.
If a player name makes me giggle, he will be signed. Max Power is a stable.
Sign at least one U23 player a year from every feeder club. Just my way of giving back to the people. Don't know, in my head it helps strengthening the ties and increasing the local clubs intake. Probably doesn't, but leave me be.
Agreeing with @naterr, NEVER change a players shirt number. I don't care if I accidentally gave my future star striker the number 2, deal with it. Once had a homegrown goalkeeper go his whole career with the number 4.
Attend all of the press conferences, and if a journalist ****** me off, I will make a note to his name, so that whenever he asks me a question going forward, I'll ignore him. Also, crack a joke every now and again, don't think the game recognizes it, but you'll know yourself, how much of a hoot you are to interview. It's the small things.
Sure there's plenty more, but these were the more irregular ones.
Ps. Sorry for the terrible spelling, I'm danish.
