Hi all. Sorry if this has been covered, to many pages to read through.

Ive created a custom team recently, and it dawned on me to create a kit for them.
I created the kit but they do not show.

I edited the config file but nothing seems to be happening.
Could someone help please, its getting frustrating.

This is what my config file reads:
<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->
<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>
<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>
<!-- logo mappings -->
<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions
in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any
place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics
files from the correct places
-->
<list id="maps">
<!-- Auto generated by fmXML -->
<record from="fm elite - away" to="graphics/pictures/team/2062019894/kits/away"/>
<record from="fm elite - home" to="graphics/pictures/team/2062019894/kits/home"/>
</list>
</record>

Is there anything wrong with it?
Please help

Hey i forgot to add Dzeko in my UCL squad and now he hates me and wanna leave. How to make him happy ASAP??

 

[Carine]

Does anyone know why the following might happen...

I have config files for kits, players, logos etc... and they work, all except for one club where the kit doesn't show up. I've even copied an image I know works for another club (and double checked my id) and it still doesn't work. Can't think of anything else to do.

Any one got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, recently started a game with Bristol Rovers in league 1, first game of FM I've started in years so would like some help with players to sign, as I don't have a good knowledge of players that are good for the lower leagues and are happy to sign for them. Seems a bit more difficult to get decent players than in previous versions of the game

Am happy for suggestions in all positions

Bit o' Help?

Hi There,

New to the forum... Blah... Blah...Blah (more pleasantries)...Blah...Blah But Seriously hi Everyone!

Erm Ive been playing FM for a while since about 2006. The game I started with Chesterfield when I first got FM 2010 has been probably my best career ever. Im at the moment into my 2015/16 season having got the spireites promoted twice throught the play-offs. However Ive come to abit of a snag. I seem to be getting mid-table positions all constantly and try tactic after tacic but nothing seems to work. my squad isnt bad and we've been called 'under-acheviers' more than a few times recently. I was just wondering what everyone else would do in my situation and that if anyone has some wise words... Im all ears.

Thanks

I have just been offered the job at Liverpool. I was Southampton manager 5th in the Championship in the second season after getting them promoted from League 1. I took the job Liverpool are lying 12th in the league and there is major unrest in the squad. I need help with the following please:

How to turn the squad mentality round and lose the unrest

Finally they only have 3 HG players trained in England. I know come 1st July when rgistring squad numbers i will need to find another 5 some how!! Does this mean I will need to signed 5 HG players from rivals. If so how do I know which ones? Some show i.e. Milner at Villa but City, Utd etc none of the players have it next to them??

 

[R_P_M]

hi....so i got this problem...i started the game and i'm playing it for 5 seasons now. and because of the foreign player limit in my league i should find a player for DC position but because of the detail level i cant find him. i know his name and all. how could i find without restarting the game because i've done pretty good in all seasons.

 

[Div_Muzza]

I dont think you can mate youll have to look for another player.

Hi, I have a few questions regarding databases and patches. I have all the patches installed in order. I know that the 10.3 database includes new squads resulting from the January transfer window, but I'm wondering if 10.1 and 10.2 databases also make any player/squad changes?
Also, I assume that even if you choose a previous database, such as 10.2 for example, all the game fixes, mechanics, and etc will still be the most recent (from patch 10.3), correct?
Basically, I dont want to play on 10.3 database since I feel starting the game in June 09, means the squads should be the actual ones from june 09 and not include winter transfers...I'm picky that way Does anyone else do this, or does everyone play on 10.3 database, just curious?

The unrest is there because of where they are in the league mate.
Set up a few friendlies against pointless teams during mid week (Make sure you manage the friendlies) and select your best XI. The team will no doubt smash the team off the park and improve morale etc. Finally, all you have to do is win games, tell them theres no pressure. The unrest will ultimatly go once you climb up the table.
With the HG rules, if you dont want to buy any players, on the day of registarting your players, just take a days holiday, your assistant will then sort it out. And you wont need to make any signings you dont need to make. (The assistant will use the youngsters and reserves to do this, even if you cant)

After downloading and extracting files (eg, kits or logos) can I delete them from my Downloads folder on my computer?

Sure, if you want to. Personally though, I keep basically everything I download. Never know when you might need to reinstall FM or something.

*******, I have not beat Arsenal in 4 seasons. I've been using a modified version of complete dominance and my team bangs in goals left right and centre but Arsenal have maxed out Alphonse Areola (20 anticipation, 20 one ones and 20 reflexes) and I have not been able to beat this SOB in 3 seasons. The only time I've beat him is off a freekick that deflected of the wall and counts as an o/g. Akinfeev & Lloris I can score on all of them but this SOB is giving me nightmares. Point blank headers from the backpost corners are regularly stuffed. My midfielders have shoots with power and high values for long shots and still no go. My strikers have 17+values for finishing and 15+ for composure and have led the premiership and european championships in goalscoring for the last 2 seasons. I've gone into penalty shoot outs and he's stuffed every shot.

I don't mind losing but I'd like to be to be able score occasionaly. My strikers are capable of lob and rounding the keeper and I still can't through him.It's getting a bit ridiculous that I haven't scored on arsenal for almost 14 matches. Any suggestions?

Edit: Oh I actually have beat them once except he was out injured but you get the point

 

[sammyt]

try butying him, then you won't have to worry

but seriously try to play a different style of play as they probally have tactics that counter yours.

Hey, I am having a bit of trouble with fulham. Im considering my options....I have 500k to spend, and i cannot seem to find any players which are going to better my team, can only find players which will be good squad back-ups..... However, i have teams interested in Hughes (6m) and Hangeland (7m) which obviously comes to 13m. So am i better off finding a couple more centre backs for around 2-3m and then investing in my squad with about 5 or 6m, or just sitting tight this season and hoping i can get some revenue in for next year...HELP?????
