Congrats on the Liga title Barca.
By Scum Go To Post#FMBros. How's the FM2018 Beta?N8 found it overwhelming. It's a bit buggy and it crashed twice on me, but I'm liking it.
Plenty of QoL improvements compared to previous iterations.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostI'd be pissed if United lost against an 11th placed team.11th placed La Liga team > mid tables in EPL all day everyday bruh.
fuck, any top 4 club would.
and you won La Liga and CL last season.

By Xpike Go To Posthow about the loot boxesI spent £15,000 on them already.
By Scum Go To Post#FMBros. How's the FM2018 Beta?Got Cov promoted. So clearly unrealistic.
The players seem to behave smarter on the pitch, less going for goal when a simple pass will set up a good opportunity.
By Frustrated_me Go To Post11th placed La Liga team > mid tables in EPL all day everyday bruh.Burnley would beat Girona.
Defensive AI also seems a bit improved. Players are better at covering space, but also tackling and not giving away the ball stupidly inside the box. Haven't seen defenders just freeze and letting forwards pass.
A lot is improved. But one thing I don't think I can get used to, after already quite a few hours in the game, is the fucking new tactics screens. It's terrible. Used to be much easier to get an overview over everything. Now it's instead separated and requires multiple clicks to get where you want to be. Just terrible UI design all around. The more I play, the more it annoys me.

A game like FM would benefit immensely from being cloud-based and web-accessible. Imagine if you could just go to footballmanager.com, login to your account and have it running in a tab at work. :blaface: Given how graphically non-intensive and stats-based it is and all. Limit the match engine to 2D, if needed, and even Meier's 8-years old disgrace of a computer could run it with without problems.
Unless that's already a thing?

By inky Go To PostNeverton are tragic. Can't even enjoy it anymore with Kuntman gone. Hope they get relegated.You'd love to see Rooneh go down, wouldn't you?
I love Football Manager but I am very very bad at it. I hardly ever win things. Terrible at making my own tactics, awful at using team talks. I also find too many things overwhelming - do I change my set pieces for a game at West Brom? What's the best way to do that? Should I manmark De Bruyne? Do I change my tactics from game to game or stick with something that works? Is there any point in using shouts from the touchline?
I love it but I hate it.

It's not. While it could be done, it would limit people quite a bit in what they do with FM.
Mods is a huge part of FM, here I am talking anything from facepacks, logopacks, to fixing licenses, adding leagues/custom leagues and so on. This would obviously not be possible or at least very hard. Doubt they would allow you to get around licenses and such with an official cloud based form of the game.
Second, they would surely have to put some fair use policy in there that would suck. People play FM a looooot. Like always fucking having it open. Would require quite a lot of cloud computing that I doubt would be viable in the end. Also while it isn't graphically intensive at all, it is very CPU intensive, unless you want some heavily watered down version running barely without any leagues and so on.
So yeah, if they want to make a web based one, I think it would work if they did a simplified version of FM for handheld and phones. That would no doubt have a high interest from people as well, but I don't think transferring the full game would work well.
The new FM2018 is fantastic. A lot of things I love, a lot of things I hate.
Scouting is harder now, and takes much more steps than in previous FM. I guess it's for the best. Players are smarter and isolating players by man marking them even by getting yourself out of position works waaaaaay better now.
Also the new 'find underlap' instruction is a godsend.
It's also harder if you want to manage a big club without any experience now. The players wont listen to you for the first few months.
They also still manage to muck Pep's AI up. He's always mid table and at this save I'm playing, fired after getting City at relegation tier after 15 games.

By W Go To PostIt's not. While it could be done, it would limit people quite a bit in what they do with FM.Ah, right, didn't consider mods. Agreed on the rest, it would certainly require them to come up with a version that's sustainable for cloud computing.

By n8 dogg Go To PostIs there any point in using shouts from the touchline?Did a lot of shouting in my last match. Seemed to work.
After hating fm17, kinda digging the beta. The UI is uhhh... cumbersome.

Shouting does work, but not in the ways I want most of the time. The most consistent shouts are telling people to "calm down" if their body language is aggressive. It reduces the chances of them getting cards. Telling them to "concentrate" or "show some passion" when their body language shows complacency can change things, but it's less effective. The most effective one I've found is: shouting aggressively to players who are already a bit on edge will definitely increase their chances of them getting sent off with a two footed tackle or throwing an elbow. Perfect for derailing a match or a season and getting sacked early.
The rest like "tighten up", "push forward", "encourage" rarely seem to have an effect, but I still shout all the fucking time because this game pisses me off like that. The one thing that I've seen sways performances more than anything like tactics or training is player morale. Once you start winning, if you are good at keeping your player's morale up through conversations and team talks, it's actually a bit OP how far it can take you. A few bad results and bad man management on top will kill your season and it's pretty hard to come back from.

yes, but this could also make them overconfident and you'll lose 4-0 to Huddersfield.
By Razor Go To PostHeartwarming to see Madrid struggle this season in matches they would have turned to wins in last season.Feels good.
Last seasons lucky last minute goals had to stop at some point.
I feel like that mostly happens with players with poor mentality or professionalism and I constantly avoid them. Heck, I avoid recruiting players with less than 15 determination almost at any cost (Rashford starts with sub 15 but quickly rises above). I admit this is a bit of meta-gaming and just reading up on how that shit works behind the scenes, because some of that stuff isn't even surfaced in the player statistics. But it is a game after all.
Bailly for example I always get rid of early. I love him IRL of course, but in the game he always becomes complacent after a goal, or stops trying mid match and usually ends up the season with the highest amount of mistakes leading to goal in the team. There are tons of examples of players like that, and usually if I see messages of overconfidence in the pre-match screen, it's usually sign of those hidden stats being low. Those cunts have no place in my team.

Just for reference, Lawrie McMenemy is the most hated Sunderland manager in history. 9 of these 12 have been in my lifetime looooooool. Just kill me.
Moyes lower winrate than Sbragia lmao

how
Coz he's got literally 1 win in 14.
Raiola on black players: “There is conscious discrimination that comes from this world’s bastards, but there is also an unintentional discrimination. When people asks about a black player they ask “Is he like Pogba? Balotelli? Lukaku?” I’ve never heard “Is he like Toivonen? like Ibra? like Beckham?”
Oh this is great
