[SIGN UP] Please be in my FM23 save

I will use a great avatar of years gone by.

Might be late but I've submitted a player entry. Loyalty 20, true to the TTH cause.

Fulham Michael Jackson statue as your player photo?

[Baz]

Nice one. The more the merrier. The deadline I set was Friday 4th November so plenty of time for people to still join the squad.

Everyone has been assigned a photo now (cheers Mahow), but if anyone wishes to choose their own representative, you're more than welcome to.

Disappointed @Disco hasn't signed up, had a Tommy Saxondale photo ready for him.

[7om]

1996 Lex Luger

[Gray Fox]

It can only be the great man.

[Disco]

I hadn't seen this but if you've prepared a picture I suppose I should make the effort.

[Danny]

You have:

DC Accomplished
DM Natural
MC Natural
AMC Natural

Happy to change DC to Competent if you want?

Don’t worry about it. I shouldn’t get a game there anyway!

For the pic give me Bombhead from Hollyoaks. People used to tell me I looked like him back in the day. It might not have been a compliment but it worked out.

[John Arne]

My picture, please.

[Baz]

My picture, please.

Noooo I have the perfect picture lined up for you. But fair enough I did not expect you to be black and I apologise.

But look!

Ah fair enough. You were Oscar Isaac but at least now you look like a professional athlete.

Go on, use the one you had line up

[Spikey M]

It can only be the 'coaster pic for Lofty.

Or Ed Kemper.

[Baz]

Right lads I'm down in the dumps so throw some kits at me.

Figured because grey is dreadful we'll play in GOLD to match this logo @SvN probably made in under a minute:



Mobile skin users seeing that for the first time right now



Yes kits. Show me some kits you like or think we should wear.

Probably gonna copy Nottm Forest and go sponsorless cos a) it looks better and b) I don't know which sponsor to use.

Home, away, third, go go go.

Before we end up with a TTH badge stuck on something plain like this:



You don't need to suggest gold kits. Just kits you like and they can be recoloured gold. Or not gold? Whatever. You tell me what colours then. But say if there's a kit you know of that you like the pattern on or something.

So say you like this St. Helens rugby league-esque Leyton Orient kit



only in gold with a black V or black with a gold V, say so. And it might happen.

(I was thinking really really dark grey/almost black/charcoal with a gold V for the away kit actually)

Maybe you're a sucker for hoops, stripes, wycombe squares, blackburn halves, coventry braces, croatia checkers, etc. What should we have?

Should the third kit be the 'Offshore would wear this to Leeds festival' vibes like



Or something completely understated like the Arsenal whiteout kit:



First draft of the badge is this:



But consider it work in progress.

Less on that, more on kits.

And more signups obviously. @Disco @Bam still plenty time but yes please both join us.

[Offshore Toon]

That's a sexy top but football shirts only get worn for exercise.

[Giggles]

Right lads I'm down in the dumps

After his thread so far, you deserve it for being a prick and playing up to mahow

[Baz]

What are you on about?

[niko_cee]

I like the badge.

It looks like Optimus Prime doing

[Mike]

But a map of St Helens

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

But make it BoltonMassiv's chicken and brocolli on pasta.

Alternatively one of DS' kebabs, a TTH munch box or RL's scorum pizza.

[Mike]

ASDA Pizza to sponsor us?

[Baz]

I like the badge.

Thanks.



This is better though right?

[Lewis]

POV you're 7om getting bollocked for buying the wrong chicken arses.

[7om]

'dis rast time i sen' you shop wi'ou shoppin' rist'

Loftinho is a Rachel Dolezal character:

[Disco]

Do you need any particular positions?

[Baz]

Do you need any particular positions?

Probably a safe bet to chose anywhere down the right.

[Baz]

While eagerly awaiting FM23 I've done some very non-scientific testing regarding current ability and come to the conclusion that 77 current ability is the sweet spot.



We won the league on goal difference after having a media prediction of 2nd, so I'd say it's perfectly balanced for National League North but should feasibly get promoted. And -10 potential (random between 170-200) should see us press on well into the second season in, hopefully, the National League.

I should stipulate that all players were created to have their requested positions but all attributes were just clones of Harvey Elliott.

Just one decision left to make, I think:
Gold home kit and black away kit or black home kit and gold away kit?

[Offshore Toon]

Gold home easily.

[niko_cee]

Don't think I've done a non-league wonderkid style save since creating Harchester Uniited back when Dream Team was a thing. I recall it being very hard to keep hold of the players back then. If we're all high PA aren't we all just going to be trying to leave at the earliest opportunity?

[Gray Fox]

I think that's where your loyalty/professionalism stats might help.

You could also lock people to the club for say 20 years on one save, then run it again without that to see the difference for TTH the club.

[igor_balis]

I think even with 1ambition 20 loyalty "preference to - play for tth fc" etc they'll still all be gone very quickly, so I'd say it's not worth fannying around with.

I like your idea of running two saves concurrently though cus it would be fun to see where everyone went without being held hostage with my patented 25 years contract with future dated transfer method @Gray Fox

[Offshore Toon]

When does this kick off?

[randomlegend]

When does this kick off?

Full game release date is 8th November, beta usually comes out 2 weeks before.

[Baz]

Full game release date is 8th November, beta usually comes out 2 weeks before.

The editor doesn’t come with the beta so will start editing on 8th November and then run some test seasons, so hopefully no later than Friday 11th November.

[randomlegend]

[igor_balis]

@Baz

[Baz]

Everyone is made. Any last minute additions or requests?

In the most recent holidayed season, Tim Flowers was appointed as manager and he sold about 10 players and came 3rd.

Lots more testing to follow before getting stuck in.

[Baz]

I've been playing about with the "FUTURE_REGEN" options for the people who didn't sign up. It works.
@wullie going on loan to Coventry was the highlight:

first name - common name - surname - dob - nationality - favourite club

Got a spreadsheet set up for the formatting so just gonna go through the members list/WDYTOE and add people not in the TTH team.

[Baz]

Bloody hell @Jimmy Floyd doing bits

[Lewis]

It's given him a wig as well.

[Gray Fox]

@Baz so you can set it so it generates whatever person you want in the next youth intake?

[Spikey M]

Where am I you slag?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cleaning Jimmy's boots.

[Lewis]

'Spaghetti O'Sullivan' is still hilarious.

[Baz]

@Baz so you can set it so it generates whatever person you want in the next youth intake?

I think it’s random what year they come in, and it’s certainly random which team they come through it.

[Giggles]

This probably would have been a good read but it’s left now that it’s not worth opening the thread at all you snide little prick.
