Sorry if this has been requested already, but I simply don't have the time nor the patience to go through 154 pages with posts...

Will you be compiling a coach/staff list? In FM12 you put together such a list, but there was a major "flaw" regarding that list: Alot of the coaches' attributes were obviously randomized from game to game, as many of the coaches in your list differed alot from the coaches in my game. I also got this verified by looking at different forums with similar lists. I'm curious as to why this is the case, and if you will take that into consideration when compiling such a list (though I can't really tell how you would possibly do that). It might have had something to do with different versions, but with so many big differences I can't really see that being the case. I'm having a hard time trying to understand why SI would do that, considering all the players' attributes/PA are the same for everyone.

yes I will mate :) I just got my full version this morning :)

not sure mate, database size, which nations you have loaded up.. etc

but remember, ALL coaches and staff have CA and PA... so they will improve over time :) same as players
 
Hey, guys, I'm starting a game on Blue Square North division and I'd like some suggestions about players to contract and training.
 
Raikan I have a question, if I have already started a save will the update I install next (hopefully ME changes) also take effect on that save or only if I start a new game?

Only time you'd need to start a new game is when the database gets updated, all other patches and updates will apply to your current games.
 
I have a question I posted in another thread, but since this is a question thread I might as well post it here too, seeing as how it might give me a quicker answer:

I used the editor to make some slight changes. I haven't created any new players, only edited existing players. I've tried several times, and I know I'm doing it the right way - I've played FM for years and never had this problem. I even checked Game Status, and the correct number of database changes made are displayed. So in theory, all the changes should be there, but they're not. The weird thing is, certain changes ARE saved, some are not. Could this have anything to do with CA/PA? Do these need to correspond with changes made to attributes somehow?

Most of the changes I've made are in different attributes. To take one specific player as an example: I changed Strength from 14 to 15 - this hasn't changed in the game. I changed Determination from 18 to 19 - this change IS in the game. I changed Positioning from 13 to 15 - this is now 14 in game. This doesn't make any sense. What's the point with an editor if the editor decides how seriously it's gonna take the changes? Any ideas?
 
Hey Raikan, I need some advice on three questions, 1st I'm using your tactic for fm13 Might & Magic but Rooney and RVP don't seem to be scoring well at all, so what are there best positions together? and the shots on target are like 20% of the actual shots yet the other team always get like 70-80% shots on target and it is really ******* me off is there anything I can do or is it just fm13 being annoying? Anf finally your the best at finding and scouting talent so I was wondering if you could tell me if it is worth keeping Nick Powell for united and signing Zouma? and maybe you could suggest another future star in any position? Thanks
 
Raykan, can you please say some players for Swansea? 1st season, a lot of money... preferentially if they are from the UK (and young, i plan to make this save full of UK players).

Cheers!
 
Do you know if there is much of a difference between choosing a young prospect to be individually trained and not to be? Will the end result (let's say 5 years later) look much different?

Cheers Buddy, looking alot better now thanks, also if you have time do you know a good way to set up corners so I can actually score from them? I don't seem to be scoring any( and by no means do I mean the corner exploit that was in past games :) )

me neither mate, just mess around until you do!

strongest/tallest player challenge keeper
best header far post (send ball to far post)
next best header (near post flick)
best long shot taker (lurk edge of area)

4 back at all times (both fullbacks and most defensive minded player with quickest/shortest winger)
 
When viewing the Coach Report of any player on your team, there are 2 bars at the top left. One is happiness, which is pretty straightforward, and the other says "progression". Is this the progression the player is making at that specific time, or does it refer to a longer period of time? I also find it strange that the bar is always at about 50%. Fabio Borini, who at the time has green arrows on almost all attributes when I view his recent changes, has a progression bar identical with that of Jamie Carragher!
 
I keep conceding goals where the opposition winger (both left and right) get to the byline and put a cross along the six yard box and it gets tapped in and it seems way too easy. I have tried dropping deeper, and giving specific instructions but it doesn't work.

This is only against players like Etherington and Brunt vs Clyne of Southampton.

Is there any way of preventing this?
