USMNT, 5,71 goals per game! xD you are really advanced in your game 2025?! Odegaard, 89 goals!? I made similar records on previous FM, when I was on 2027, more or less xD

Ya it was a crazy tactic. It was a 4-3-3 3 striker formation. But all of that was on 15.2, so idk if it works on 15.3 lol. I need to go home and try but I am stuck here at work for another 6 hours.
 
can't download the latest patch . It's auto download on steam:(

Restart Steam. Auto download has nothing to do with it. Sometimes it just gets stuck. Exit your game and restart steam.
 
Kun, or any other person who can answer this question. In the OP, Kun lists the key attributes for each position. For FB's, CD's and wingers, passing isn't listed as a key attribute. But for tiki, passing is the most important, and you pass the ball 600-800+ times a game. So shouldn't very good passing skills be an absolute requirement for every position on the field?

Ofc, but your team must help. You must have all of best regens on your game, so... Now is a bit easy. If you wanna try to take it to a new level, try now with only guys from your youth academy :)

Still working well after the patch! Opposition still only need 1 shot on target to score though XD

LoL, nice result. I suppose that you are on 2020+ lol But nice game ! :') and about the fact that they only need one shot... well, there are things that never change. xD

USMNT, yes, it's important but for some positions isn't that important, like on defenders. If they have good passing attributes, obviously it's better ;) But I have to agree with you on the wingers, on this formation and with this new player roles, the wingers must have great passing attributes. But, talking a bit about the defenders, the most important thing is to tackle balls from the oposition, even if they do tons of passes per game, but the passes of the defenders are too short, so they don't risk to much.

I got Sturridge to score 66 the first year lol. He consistently scored 60+ league goals. Then sold him once Odegaard was developed enough to take over. But ya, as you go on it does get easier. The approach of only using players that came through my youth and not purchasing any players is an approach I am going to take. Going to also start an Athletic save where you can only sign Basque players.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Wow, love the idea! I also create in every single FM a save in Athletic! :) that is a big challenge! :) Dominate Spain and Europe! :'D And, even with that restriction of "Only basques", they are (only with Barcelona and R. Madrid) the only team who never have been relegated! :'D

Ya, that is a crazy fact about Athletic.

I also want to bring the Tiki to the BPL. Has there been a team in real life to run the Tiki in the BPL?
