It gets better...

I want to say Isco's won me the league and broken Juve's stranglehold, but we've got Inter at home and away at Pescara so it's still a fumble waiting to happen.
Croatian heroics have made me load up my Zagreb save to kill an hour, and I'm immediately reminded of what a shambles the scheduling is.
It's December and we have seven games in hand in the league. Seven. We played through the winter break a few years ago so this is nothing new, but I think we were about four games behind that season and still ended up with a mad run of fixtures at the end of the season, so fuck knows how this will shake out once European and domestic cup fixtures are scheduled.
Is there anywhere you can torrent graphic megapacks? I can be arsed with this part downloading nonsense.
Sortitoutsi have a torrent I'm pretty sure.
Oh right, I'll have a look. Cheers.
Cant find any torrents on Susie.
Like fuck am I downloading all this bollocks again, my old Laptop has gone for a burton and I can't get old stuff off. :mad:
Just took 20mins to get some kits. :(
This save is the gift that keeps on giving.

Susie have two massive megapacks, one for faces and one for logos.
I don't think they're available via torrents, but unless you're on dial up it should be fine.
Yeah afraid so, unless you donate and get a premium account.
Well thats just shit. Looks like i'm going to be forced into pay for that.
Has anyone had Cristoph Kramer on this? Signed him in my latest game and he's been a brilliant defensive midfielder, but he's a total nutcase.
Got sent off 5 times last season and just walked again in the first pre-season friendly of the next season for mullering someone :D
I'm playing 01-02 and for the first time ever, I've seen the Share Issue message. £21.5m. Freddy's lost it.
Started a Rangers game a couple of weeks ago intending to piss around with it until the new game comes out, but I've wound up tuned right in. Coming towards the end of the third season and loan striker Alberto Cerri has just broken an at this point in the game eighty six year old club goalscoring record, having already punched Henrik Larsson in the dick months ago. Forty six league goals.
It may be my longest Newcastle save in 01-02 but its all going south. League form was never great (6th, 5th, 7th finishes) but the board are after the title year on year and only cup runs prevent the axe. Keiron Dyer's pulled the trigger on his contract, Nobby wants a new challenge and Bellamy thinks I'm shite. Shay's still chucking games away whilst Chiotis has also caught that bug. Meanwhile attempts to sign David Prutton have been scuppered twice as he keeps injuring himself at the 11th hour. Probably the game's way of saying he's accident prone.
We reached the FA Cup 1/4 and League Cup semis last time around but this time I'd rather concentrate on Europe. We lost out to eventual winners PSG at the 4th Round. This time we face Atalanta at the same stage.
Anyone got a good lower league tactics for FM2016? My Southend side is struggling like MJ's marriage.
Lazy git. Go on SI's offical fourm, they have loads of tactics.
Just ask your Assistant. Or give your players a stern telling off. I dunno, I've got my own problems. Shearer's retiring.
A err... video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAPZZJ25sgc
Just started on my first 16 game and the first team to give me a chance are going to take a bit of work to improve:

4 actual players as well.
Was going to do another CM video but OBS suddenly dislikes my bluetooth headset. I'm now the third-longest serving Toon manager behind Joe Havey (13 years) and Stan Seymour (19 years). We finished in a record low 11th position but followed that up with a respectable 7th the following year. Keeper and defence are still a problem but I've now got a trio of young keepers that are ousting Given and Chiotis. Joe Dolan is a calming influence at the back.
And Alan Shearer rumbles on. He left us as expected but not to hang up his boots. His form had dipped but was still enough to land 30 in his final season. He kept knocking back our contracts, as if he was paving a way for a retirement. Then he changed his mind. Another offer comes in which he scoffs at saying "Newcastle can't meet my demands." So I let him leave. For a year he sat doing nothing as a free agent. Whilst struggling to replace him (Chopra and Cort just aren't consistent enough), he changed his tune wanting £25k a week.
Bought Alan Shandran instead. Shearer now plays in the Spanish Second Division. He should destroy it.
Gonna dick about with a Legends database on 16 soon, this guy has put a fucking ton of work into it:

Loaded it up and there's a shite load of greats at all their respective clubs. Probably get bored in no time.
I can't say I noticed any duplicates, Ronaldo is at United but not Real or Sporting as an example. With regards to stats, therein lies the problem as its hard to balance it right due to the simple 1-20 system. According to Genie Scout, the best player is an Austrain AMC/SC who you can buy for about six mil.
The more I look into it, its a great achievement but sadly only the big clubs (primarily England), and the bigger players have been done.
DC did a PES6 OF like that and it had 3 Ginolas. Anyway, I sorted OBS out.

I feel like doing these once a week. Ta for those that viewed the first one.
2017 announced.
Clicky
FM Touch removed from the game, but you very, very kindly get it free if you pre-order. If not, got to buy it seperately.
Its always good for everyone when one company has a monopoly on a certain market. Cue another broken husk of a shitty mess.
That I'll still buy.
I'm pretty sure I haven't played more than four full seasons on 16. I'll probably still get the next one, knowing myself. It's usually 20 pounds tops at least.
I'll get it. The 20% discount if you've had the last 4 is nice, I imagine it'll still be cheaper elsewhere though.
All I want is the annual Miles Jacobson Twitter breakdown.
I wonder which position will be broke this time? Full backs on 16, so I'll go for centre attacking mids, think that was CM5 when they were last fucked.
Keepers, of course.
Ah they worded it like a lunatic, SEGA have clarified FMTouch is still free with any copy bought.
Isn't it about time we saw a drip feed of new look advertising hoardings and new haircuts for your manager? All that exciting shit.
Improved Press Conferences
You can now call someone the second nicest man in football, after yourself.
Time played:
FM10 - 596 hours
FM11 - 532 hours
FM12 - 783 hours
FM13 - 117 hours
FM14 - 370 hours
FM15 - 358 hours
FM16 - 66 hours
Think I might be done with it if there's nothing major this year (I'll probably still buy it)

Alright, I've seen way too many new things in this run. A simple request for a few extra seats in the stadium results in the largest club stadium in the country. I wonder if the game calculates that off your spare funds? I'm also wondering how this will end. I've never once lost the fans and the board have barely shown any discontent in my eight years.
At this point, the only club record to chase is Joe Harvey's 591 games in charge. With Robbie Elliott's retirement, only Chopra, Cort, Given and Dabizas remain from the original squad. The mackems have had a change of Chairman which has resulted in a string of sackings. Peter Reid went in 2005, followed by Joe Kinnear (who won them an FA Cup) and then resigned a year later. Lawrie Sanchez followed and now it's the turn of David Moyes. They're not even doing badly. They finished 8th last year with the Swedish triforce of Hersi, Risp and Elmander. Kily Gonzalez is having the time of his life there. There's some decent youth on display with the hilariously named Danny Danks.
Kevin Phillips retired this year. Celtic have Joe Cole back from Barca as the world's most expensive used condom. £26m. Rio Ferdinand's switch to Barcelona from Leeds remains the world's most expensive. £41m. This year alone he's played for three different clubs. United sold him back to the Spanish giants before ditching him at the end of the season to Feyenoord.
Zinedine Zidane seems to get released and re-signed by Lille on a yearly basis.
Tempted to boot this bad boy up again.
Any recommendations for an interesting game with this season's data?
You could have a look at one of the transfer updates, maybe a team like Newcastle who just went down?
I've been too, lately. It's the transfer market that does it. Usually the urge dies down once it's shut, and I never bother as I don't want to play the old game during a new season (I know they are hardly different, it's not rational). Since the game usually comes out in November, that's why I normally end up getting it in January - in the end.
Must have bought FM10 on disk, but here's the rest:
FM11 - 632 hours
FM12 - 620 hours
FM13 - 622 hours
FM14 - 1,835 hours
FM15 - 1,760 hours
FM16 - 227 hours
Dormant time must be built into those hours and surprised 16 is that much to be honest, feels like I've barely done anything on it.
I quite often keep FM minimised for days on end, so my figures are way out.
Yep, me too.
I played 14 and 15 A LOT, but that's all that can really be garnered from those numbers.
As an aside, anyone have a link to a good update? Went with the Susie one, but while it's transferred players it's omitted promotions and relegations. :cab:
Which one was Eibar, 15?
Yeah, would have been.
Yeah, that Eibar game was fantastic reading. Such a shame the old board is dead.
Yes, the Eibar updates were fantastic reading. Actually got me wanting to play the game again.
My current laptop has a shit video card, though, so I've been hesitant. Is there still a way to just use the drop down 2D view? Sorry for such a basic question.
In some ways I think that killed FM for me. It's definitely the best save I've had on FM (maybe not CM) and once I'd done that everything else seemed a bit shit.
Thanks bud. I keep thinking it'll just crash if I try to run it in general.
I don't really play computer games at all anymore *shoots middle fingers at the PC master race* but used to spend days on end playing FM back in my less responsibility-laden days :(
