I love this!! Followed it from the day it started...

Just wondered if you were open to suggestions?
Here is a couple...

1, Have you thought of taking over a club and only using players from that nation?
2. Maybe do a youth game, got to win everything with a squad with no player over the age of say 22? or less if you think you can do it?

Just throwing it out there.... keep up the great work my friend..... look forward to the next post!
 
After losing almost two seasons to a crash during saving I reloaded my back up save just before I resigned from Altrincham.

On the failed save I managed to win Euro 2084 with hosts England and luckily I managed to repeat that success on the recovered saved...





Back to the club side and where to go next??

On the failed save I went with HSV Hamburg to resume the Champions League challenge. They again offered me a job on the new save but it didn't appeal to me.

So I looked at the other main challenges I'm yet to accomplish and the 'Super Hero' challenge caught my eye (unlock all the Steam Hero challenges on one save).

I've already done England, Brazil, Scotland and Spain which leaves only France and Italy.






FORZA ITALIA!!

Not sure mate. 14.2.2 is an unpredictable piece of ****!

Usually a 4141 doesn't fail with underdogs so try mine or Callamity's.

xPer's Modern Warfare v4 looks good as does Koen's 442 Beast
 
Cheers, yeah I've tried Callamitys and it can be doing wonders at one point and then absolutely awful , ill look have a look at xpers though cheers again , great save btw
 
Quick update...

Got a dirty crash dump on the Monza save and lost almost a full year. I had finished the season posted a few posts above and won promotion to Serie B.

And about 3/4s into the season in Serie B when I got the crash dump I was sitting in the playoff spots and on a good run of form so automatic promotion was definitely achievable until the dump!

So rather than restart the whole Serie B season again I resigned and took over Drogheda in Ireland just for a laugh, no real challenge intended other than to maybe get into Europe.

I'm in 2091 now so will post a quick summary of how I've done in Ireland (much better than I expected ;))

Had two player sent off against Shakhtar as we led 2-0 on aggregate. So close to another year in the Champions League.

Have to settle for the Europa League group stages for the first time ever and a tough group indeed...

Simply unbelievable!!

Using Jassar and Mr. Langvatn's Rock Baby. I have a decent squad now but no better than a mid-Championship side so phenomenal results.

Feyenoord await us in the knock out round.

 
is there a list of challengs and how to unlock them?

I want to do the same as yours....

with xbox and PS3, after playing same game so long, it gets me bored....

FM14, although some patch is ****, but still gets me going when I need to do something to kill time
 
and which tac is best at the latest patch? After I saw your latest post, I tried
Jassar and Mr. Langvatn's Rock Baby for a game, and it works wonder...

Open steam go to library then select Football Manager 2014 and click view all achievements.

Yea Rock Baby is very good (with goals from corners).

Koen's 442 Beast and xPer Modern Warfare both good as well. Depends on who you are and what players you have

Sadly we just missed out on another qualification from the group stages, despite dominating Madrid in the final group game we couldn't ****** a famous winner.

Finishing 3rd does mean the Europa League at least..
