The extra 34,000 players are because mine has Top Div Players from Europe not just Top Clubs. eg. the Pre-Reset game has All Players at Man U, mine has all players at ManU & Cardiff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri916 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 LLR- Do all of the portuguese clubs in the 3rd tier and getting promoted to the fourth tier have logos in your game? If so, have you got them all just from the megapack you linked in your last thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeeD Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Had a look at the challenge history and was about to say 'Hey, where's my Yalovaspor completion from FM09?' before remembering that Turkey was still part of gundo's challenge back then Could I make a case for Keçiöregücü as notables for FM12?

ProddingAHoneyBadger Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Lagoa - National Championship - Group H - 2014/15 National Championship First Stage National Championship Relegation Stage League Fixtures Wow Portugal is going to be difficult, the top 2 from each group go into 2 groups of 8 for a promotion league, the teams that finish 1st in each group get automatically promoted and then the 2 teams that finish 2nd go into another playoff with the winner of that being the 3rd promoted team. Then there's the relegation stage where the teams placed in 3rd - 10th go and play another round robin and the 2 who finish bottom in the relegation stage get relegated regardless of where they placed in the first stage (hence why Quarteirense were relegated even though they finished 3rd) We were the top scoring team through both phases, shame we conceded a lot as well, although the highest scoring game I saw was a 10-5 result in the cup, we had some big results as well mind; Porto B 6 - 5 Lagoa, Cova Piedade 1 - 8 Lagoa & FC Barreirense 3 - 9 Lagoa (we lost 7-5 to them in the opening game of the season) In the league, in total, we scored 120 goals whilst conceding 87. Also, due to poor Finances, I got a message from the board at the end of the season saying that they were restricting my transfer policy so that I can only bring players up from the Youth Team which will no doubt make the next few seasons very difficult. Squad - We have a big squad and quite a few of the teams' contracts are running out and they won't sign a new one which will make next year even harder. Transfers - I pretty much brought in a whole new team and they were good enough for mid-table, hopefully the Youth can try and keep it going. Key Players: Joao Pacheco - Top scorer with 31 in 32 but also racking a massive 19 assists, Luis Barradas - Not much on paper but he has a good composure and finishing which was easily shown with 30 goals.

london boy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If you're looking to manage in Germany, I would recommend Viktoria Köln. I don't know what their reputation is in FM14, but they have some decent players there. According to transfermarkt.de, they have most highly valued (i.e in terms of player value) squad out of all the Regionalliga sides (if you forget the second string squads of the Bundesliga clubs). Or why not try Aachen? A fallen giant of sorts. They were in the Bundesliga in 2006-7 and have suffered 2 consecutive relegations IRL. They have a big stadium (32,960). I have seen them play IRL a few years ago. Or there's always Essen - Essen, the 9th biggest city in Germany in terms of population is the biggest city in Germany without a club in the top 3 divisions. They also have a relatively big stadium (20,000) and are quite a big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Demus Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Mantova FC - Rebuilding After going bankrupt, and then reforming as Mantova FC in 2010, the club is back on its way. Newly promoted into the Serie C1, they have announced that young danish manager, Preben Bjørnsen, is the man who will lead the club to glory. They play at Stadio Danilo Martelli, a 14.884 capacity stadium located in Mantua in the Lombardy region of Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say probably 90% of the re-loads I've done have included at least one B team, but I've probably only seen a handful where all three teams are B sides.

Ohanzee Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Awesome opening post(s) LLR! Considering playing myself, but I feel almost like a complete beginner at this game now. Was just looking at my history on Steam and I've gone from 1300 hours clocked on FM2010 down to just 57 hours on FM2013. Don't know why, but I just never got into the last couple of versions (although I'm sure real life has a lot to do with it). Already bought FM2014 though, and it's installed and ready to go, so maybe I'll pop in here sooner rather than later. Good luck to everyone! PS! Pretty sure this "Players Based in (Your Nation only)" means players in the nation you choose to play in, so in this case you could have added all players based in Germany.

benrollo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah it seems a bit of a grey area. The screenshot in the opening post shows the option of adding players from top clubs, which wouldn't necessarily be from the starting nation which I guess is no different to adding an additional nation. Either way, I'm re-holidaying a fresh save. I'll keep the rarest teams in separate saves if anyone wants them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hmm think I missed changing that line. That was the rule last year.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Right so I have corrected the opening post.
