Known Issues: Andy Murdoch at Dunfermline instead of Morton Jamie Hall and Callum Wilson not at Partick Thistle St. Johnstone Head Physio out of date Perry Kitchen's DC rating too high Liam Gordon has a 9 for goals in his history rather than a 0 Thomas Dempsie and Jack Paterson missing from Killie Rafa De Vita not yet at Livingston Allan Walker still at Berwick Josh Skelly still on loan at Arbroath Ryan Booth not on loan to Inverurie Loco Works Tony Quinn still at Queen's Park Aurelian Mazel still at Stirling Brett Long still on loan at Forfar Not Issues: Anyone under the age of 16 as of 1/9/16 will not be included in the game. As such, the 13 year old Dembele at Celtic won't be in FM17 and neither will the 14 year old who played for Dundee's development side. Danny Carmichael is not at Queens in the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGMilne Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Carmichael has also been done. Skelly was moved back because of a misunderstanding between the player himself and one of the testers who was looking at Development Team players. Moved back now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Found a nice little change just now. A player came saying there was interest from a bigger club and he wanted to go. I did the usual of saying I'd accept reasonable offers. The player now wants you to commit to a figure you'll accept 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, my season has imploded since my 7-2 win, now at 1 win in 12 games.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I also like the fact that the agents come back and try and negotiate deals for players when theyve turned down your contract offer. The only problem is they come back with higher demands each time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sacked on the 20th of December, one of my more successful first attempts. Really wish they'd do something more useful for the more casual player with all this Prozone stuff, all they do is show you a heat map and tell you what type of goal you're scoring, while your coaches only input is telling you to play in their favoured formation. I'd rather they help you adjust your tactic by highlighting teams weak against the high press/long balls/overlaps instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My laptop is at 1/2 a star for games speed on a large database - anything over 20000 players + more than just the 4 leagues from Scotland and it's a complete crawl. It's a 2.8gHz processor (i5) with 16GB of RAM, and unless I'm going crazy it used to run 2016 and 2015 very, very comfortably with my standard setup being close to 50000 players and the top flights from the big 3 leagues + Scotland. 2016 was, I'm sure, absolutely fine and would be about 2 1/2 stars on my preferred setup but since the updates/patches about February of this year it's been a nightmare getting it to run fast. Could be linked to Windows 10 in some way too, I dunno, can't remember when this auto-updated to Win 10. Don't really use this laptop for much other than shitposting on here and playing FM so I can't really justify forking out a few hundred quid on a good desktop (any laptops with better spec than mine I've found are over £1000!) purely for shitposting and FM purposes. A real dilemma - not even got any background processes eating up my laptop's resources either, might try to tinker with it to figure out what's going on or if I can overclock the processor or some shit but if all else fails I'll settle for just running the 4 leagues from Scotland and use a custom database to load players from the top flights of a few of the countries I like to plunder for players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Downloaded it last night and have to say so far I'm enjoying it. Gone Berwick and have attempted to emulate John Coughlin's shitehousing 3-5-2 formation given that's all the squad's ridiculous lack of depth allows anyway (not one natural winger). I considered bringing wingers in with the limited budget I have but for what was out there I didn't think it was worthwhile. Instead I've signed Rory Boulding which is probably silly as up top is arguably my strongest position and Andrew MacDonald on loan from St Mirren. Two loanees who start there have already picked up injuries (Greg Hurst 6 weeks and Ben Stirling 3 months) so I'm down to the bare bones already - I'd say I've about 13-14 who are good enough or have the potential to make an impact over the season. Despite the lack of depth big John's dinosaur tactics appear to be working. Wins over Hawick (1-0) and Darlington in pre-season have been followed by a 2-1 home loss to Accies and a 2-0 away win at QP in a regionalised League Cup draw which also sees me paired with Airdrie and Dumbarton Anyone noticed EPL transfers are a bit odd? Only 3 transfers for fees so far but a lot of loans and frees being snapped up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just realised when you're choosing your manager stats theres a drop down with the likes of "Motivator", "Disciplinarian" and "Tactician" in it which selects the stats for you. Decided to start an Arsenal save as a Disciplinarian, going to live up to it with fines for every poor action and severe action for those who ever fall out with me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I tend to give a warning for 1 red, 1 weeks fine for the 2nd and 2 weeks for 3+ and any violent ones. Players always take the huff after the 2 week fine even if they've just ended a guys career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
