Football Manager 2015

[Gazz]

I say that, after 30 games, I'm top of the PL with Newcastle, 24-3-3 and scored 107 goals.

[Hobo]

24-3-3

Very defensive formation, Gazz.

[Gazz]

Sneaking on an extra 20 players is the tactic of the future.

Did I mention Sepp Blatter is my uncle?

[Berober]

January Transfers Patch is out, should download automatically.

Time to see how much they buffed Harry Kane

[Bobfoc]

Is this the last patch i.e. is it OK for me to buy the game now?

[Berober]

It's the last important patch yeah, so there won't be any changes to players and stuff any more, but they may try and fix things if they see it's broken.

[stokeriño]

Oh just play it. You'll be fine.

[Baddar]

Harry Kane has ALL the 20's.

[stokeriño]

Things that jump out at me from the changes list:

- Improved saving times

OH GOD I HOPE IT'S TRUE. It may be because my save is a few years in, but this has become bloody painful lately.

- Fixed issue where players would sometimes not make an obvious challenge for the ball

I was never sure whether this sort of thing was a problem with the player knowing to challenge, or if the player wasn't really meant to be as 'close' to the ball as he appeared on the pitch and so it was something of a motion lag.

- Fixed some instances of centre halves engaging ball player and breaking their defensive line

This. This I need. You can see it coming from a mile off - one CB comes out to meet midfielder, easy pass to striker running in the gaping chasm left behind him.

- Improved the balancing of a number of player happiness’s including decreasing the regularity of players asking to join interested teams.

It's not like said teams ever actually bid for the player anyway.

- Added new English Premier League TV Deal

...Sweet Mary mother of Jesus.

- Improved MLS squad building

Bit fucking late now, isn't it? Me and my seven AMRs.

[Adam]

Maybe I'm being stupid here, but when I edit a database in the FM15 Editor (not the in-game one) and save it, why is it not showing up for me to use when I go to start a new game? Or appearing if I load up the Editor again after saving and closing?

[Gazz]

Choose your database and then click the custom button underneath it.

Your changes save file should be there to be selected.

[Arjen Robben]

I got bored and decided I would just see if I can wreck Arsenal, for no real reason. Have spent £149m revamping the squad.

Was fairly generous with the contracts.

ffs just noticed the paltry deal I've given Aimar, will fix that ASAP.

[Arjen Robben]

Not gone well.

[Adam]

What I don't get is why you've decided to tank the team, but signed the division's best right back in Tony Hibbert?

[Lineker]

He's no Danny Simpson.

[Benji]

How did you reach season end without being sacked >_>

[Benji]

David: be San Marino

benjirino: ?

David: saw our convo nd it was about Civ's to be >_>

David: and I am being bloody minded

benjirino: San Marino FM diary!

David: do it!

benjirino: Imagine the day when San Marino finally win

David: I assume we mean the country not the club side

benjirino: Oh yeah

benjirino: Literally the whole purpose of the diary would be to achieve a single win

benjirino: Pinnacle

Someone do it.

[Troy Maskell]

I always considered doing something like that with American Samoa, then I realised they face places like Tonga so it would be too easy

[Gazz]

It used to be the San Marino challenge. You manage the nation and San Marino FC, build up the club so you get better regens to improve the national squad.

Someone won the World Cup...

[Benji]

Ooh, that's a good idea.
