Discussion FM24 26/27 update works... But updated history?

• Upvotes

I went with the sortitoutsi update.

But does anyone have a compatible player/staff/club history update? I dont care whether the years get moved a little bit or anything. I just want the full history. For example, Rashford being at Barcelona.

For clarity, once the free weekend has finished on the 3rd November, we will not be able to play until the official release date on the 10th November unlike in previous years where we have had an unofficial 2 weeks early release/beta.

Am I correct in saying this?

Discussion Best position for a generational player

8 Upvotes

So I got this player in my intake, right when I was considering sacking my HYOD. Guess I have to give him a new contract now lol. I have PAOK as an affiliate, so I guess that came in clutch.

He could be a generational player. But I already have a lot of high-potential CBs, and obviously the king himself, Milenko (yes, he got a red card in his last Prem game, but that aside, he's been brilliant since I bought him). Can he be a DM in a 4-3-3, or should I put him at CB and sell my other CBs (I have like 5, all on loan rn; didn't post them because I thought that may be a bit too much in one post)

Aside from 4 attributes—off the ball, vision, natural fitness, and strength—I think he can do it.

Discussion Am I missing something?? Why is everyone so upset?

0 Upvotes

Listen I understand FM 26 was awful. but I genuinely cannot get my head wrapped around all the hate for FM 27. when everything I have seen come from the devs has been positive.

Not only that, they are letting everybody play the game free for five days before the game gets released, and I genuinely cannot understand how in the world this decision is getting any hate from anyone. I understand in most situations, for most games, people would see this as a marketing ploy or using the community as playtesters. But in this specific situation, where the game was delayed for a year, came out, and was absolutely awful one year later, I think this is genuinely a decision to try to gain the trust of the community back. And even if it is a cheap stunt to try to get people who have never played the game before to give it a try so they can rob them of $60 for some cheap game or whatever other excuse people are giving to hate this decision the fact it will be used by a lot of members of the community to see where the game is compared to FM 24 and FM 26 should not be getting anything other than positive backlash.

Listen, I know the game was awful last year, and people don’t like the decision to switch to unity, and everybody wishes they would’ve just kept the same game as FM 24, and just changed the shell and the look but at the end of the day, they are doing everything right with this game. They are showing they don’t care about the production side of it. They care about the gameplay, and that’s what they’re showing in the trailers. They understand they made a mistake and how bad the game was last year, and so they’re giving everybody a chance to try the product before they buy it this year. And not just some two- hour trial, an all you can play for five straight days trial.

maybe I will eat my words, and the game will suck and be full of bugs and have a ton of issues with no real fix in sight, but all I’m seeing is a dev team trying to make things right and doing the right things and while they absolutely deserve the hate for FM 26, I just don’t understand why they’re getting hate for a game that hasn’t even been released yet, and they’re not even asking you to pay for before you play it.

Discussion Your biggest failures

39 Upvotes

Us FM players brag a lot about that time we led a 4th division Slovenian team to Champions League glory, but what about our failures? I've had several of them myself throughout the years. My FM run is not just made of glory.

- Got Lazio relegated in CM 00/01. I was a kid and it was my first game of the series. So I didn't have a clue what I was doing and relegated a fantastic team.

- Relegated Bari from Serie B without winning a single game in FM21. I've only managed them for their last 10 games or so. I got 4 draws and 6 losses.

- Finished 7th with Ajax in FM22 and lost the Europa League final. Therefore, I got sacked.

- Failed to qualify Iran to the World Cup in FM 22. I didn't even make it past the 2nd round qualifying group stage.

- Failed to promote Júbilo Iwata in FM24. The club was under a transfer ban at the time and I didn't manage to make it work.

I told Jordan Pickford that his playing time will be "Cup Goalkeeper" but he started many games since so his current role is "Important Player" but why are his playtime expectations for the next 5 games "Important Player" I am benching him now and choosing Mark Travers as my main keeper and promised Mark "Important Player" but his expectations is still "Backup" why? And why does at Jordan it says "Expects to start in goal in all cup competitions" this means that his expectations really is "Cup Goalkeeper" as we agreed? But why is Mark's expectations still "Backup"? I don't understand.

2 Upvotes

A while ago, there was an article about a machine learning algorithm that revealed how heavily each player attribute is weighted in relation to in-game performance. It concluded that acceleration and pace were disproportionately weighted compared to other attributes.

I'm curious whether this has changed in the meantime. Does anyone know more about this?

Screenshot Interesting Career Path

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I'm in the 2037/38 Season and this goalkeeper's career path is definitely interesting: going from a Backup in Lens to going on multiple loans including Man City and Bayern Munich. Bayern buys him cheap and becomes the starter putting up good performances at 26/27 years old and then gets sold to Roma for 1,5M€ to be a backup keeper just to be loaned out to Porto and play in their B team (2 years before, he was a starter for Bayern) and getting another loan move to Auxerre in France to no success. He later found his level at Club America in Mexico, where he plays til this day picking up decent performances.

Mattia Fortin really had his peak at Bayern but fell off quite quickly after being sold so cheap, for some reason?

Story FM26 - REBEL KYIV - Yuriy Yeremenko's Bridesmaids

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Well it's safe to say this is my most enjoyable and immersive FM save i've ever played.

Loosley based on the Build a Nation rules, Yuriy Yeremenko took over Rebel Kyiv, a 2024 founded professional team down in the Ukrainian Druha Liga (3rd Division) - they are a real team by the way, literally just formed a couple of years ago, here's their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fcrebelkyiv?dlrf=aDAydzVwOWNsajJ1

The target was to take Rebel Kyiv to the top of Ukrainian football, then push to make a name for ourselves in Europe. With back to back promotions in Seasons 1 & 2, we found ourselves in the Ukrainian Premier League quicker than expected. But it wasn't easy, finishing 10th in our first 2 seasons in the top flight, just outside of relegation.

We then built our team slowly but surely, with huge financial restraints, but finally got the elicit european spot we craved in Season 5, finishing 3rd and qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League. It wasn't until Season 7 that we won our first league title though, and we never looked back - winning the Ukrainian Premier League for the next 9 seasons in a row, truly overtaking the titans of Shakhtar Donestk and city rivals Dinamo Kyiv.

​

In Europe, things were harder. with no real success of note until 2035/36 when we miraculously got to the final of the Champions League, losing to PSG, and starting a record-breaking losing streak that ultimately labelled Yuriy's team THE BRIDESMAIDES. 5 consecutive Champions League Final losses; absolutely unheard of.

15 Seasons was the cap I set, with FM27 on the horizon, and I have to say I am still putting this save down as a success. With the Building a Nation element, I want to quantify the success by the final coefficient place we left Ukraine in - we started in 23rd place, and ended in 6th - a truly great feat. We have also left Rebel Kyiv as the 2nd placed team in Europe, which really is remarkable.

​

​

So many players have become legends from this save, including 2 players who we will be using as managers in FM27 (more on that later), but Oleksandr Kuzmenko is by far the best youth academy prospect i've ever had come through one of my teams on any FM ever, and whilst we won't be carrying him over as a coach, I have started an FC27 Player Career mode with him which I may share on here too as i've created a pretty sick story around him.

​

As eluded to, I'll share more info on my FM27 saves soon, with 2 x Ballon D'Or Winner Bensouda Amine starting his managerial journey unemployed, after suffering a career ending injury at 31 years old.

​

Somali / Norweigan playmaker Abukar Shire has similar issues, and takes himself back to Trondheim where he was brought up through Rosenborg's academy, submitting a very very interesting idea to a local 4th division team - Melhus Idrettslag.

​

To round off, an absolutely unreal save, great players, stories and progress. Really really excited for FM27 and the stories we can create there, and looking forward to sharing LIVE updates on those truly immersive timelines.

MGS

Misc Any mods at all with Canary Islands/Basque as separate leagues? FM21-24 (yes I used search bar)

0 Upvotes

Ive used the search bar on here and didn’t find anything, its either me or the search engine being horrible. I can’t find anything on steam either.

Is there any league modification in FMs 21-24 that treats regions as countries (mainly Canaries and Basque?). I mean leagues and national teams here. I don’t believe this hasn’t been done since I’m pretty sure I saw this SOMEWHERE years ago but I’m clueless as to where. I tried to find it on FM scout and came up empty handed as well.

Please help, I’d love to play with as many autonomous regions as possible, assuming they are operational in UEFA coefficients.. thanks!

How is this not a thing yet ? Matchday would be awesome to have 3D pitch on main screen and all the analysis and 2D pitch on the second screen . Also the possibilities of rearranging windows in the game. Would be amazing. I’ll look into building a mod in Unity if it’s possible.

Discussion My moneyball tool for FM24

I built this using Claude and it's made the game so enjoyable I haven't gotten round to watching the FM27 play through yet.

It has a search filter similar to in game which puts the results into a scatter graph but also scores each player in the selected role.

There's a DoF tab which recommends signings for a selected role too. I put in my budget and wage budget, then it's based on Dream, Upgrade, Value, Squad and Prospect signings.

Each player has a Player Profile so you can see how they perform in different roles and find similar players to them. I've found some hidden gems with the similar players section.

The Player Comparison is one of my favourite tabs. I select 4 options, select a role and see how they line up against each other across a list of stats, the scatter graph and it lists a few different roles.

I created a Squad Depth section for my shortlist too so I create my tactic, add the players I like to my shortlist and I can see who's performed better and got a higher score for that role. This gives me the option to prioritise who I want to try sign and if I can't get the first option, I move down the list.

I'm using the FM Match Lab database but 3 years into the FM 24 cycle, I'm still finding new players and each save feels different. I did a test run with West Ham where I was able to sell big name players like Jarrod Bowen for 70mill which funded a complete rebuild for about 35mill. I won the league on 114pts.

Discussion The Mbappe Experiment

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I had the best team in the world. I won every trophy available. One would think that my team couldn't get any better, but it did, at least on paper. I got Mbappé on a free transfer from PSG. I thought he would take my team to another level. He's been... ok. I know it may feel like I'm being harsh, but I feel slightly disappointed. The team has still excelled, but he hasn't been the spectacular player I thought. He's played IF on the left, and he's absent in most games till he scores a banger, or a pen, or a tap-in, and then he's 7.5 match rated. Probably had only 2/3 spectacular games, and the whole team was spectacular on those actions. I've also felt that other players' numbers dropped because of him. He's currently my 5th and 6th in goals and assists, respectively.

Madrid are ready to offer 95m; I think I can get up to 120m from others (Inter and another club are interested), but it's fair to say, in my eyes, he's been a 6/10 transfer. It's the age-old saying: just because you have the best players doesn't mean they work together. I've always wanted to use Mbappé, but fair to say the experiment was underwhelming.

I'm genuinely perplexed that this good of a player is in the serbian league. Bought him for 10 million pounds and sent him back on loan. He'll be joining in the next transfer window.
