DAVE82 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Whenever I start a game in Italy or England in FM14 by Christmas Man City are almost always mid-table and well off the pace and don't even get in Europe at the end of the season. They continue to be very inconsistent throughout with Pellegrini, playing this silly 4-2-2-2 formation. In Italy... Roma, well, they've been relegated in 2 seasons iv played. I know you get the odd surprise in real life with Milan and United finishing 7th but Roma and Man City, consistently in the games I play are rubbish considering the talent they have. Anybody else get this? Just kind of ruins it for me when you see Roma and all their talent in the relegation places and Man City in mid table.

kris0710 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 In my long term save City were really dominant until about 2035. They finished 1st or 2nd every season bar three or four until that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I didn't have the English structure running in my game when I started but..... 2014. Man City 2nd. 2015. Man City 3rd. 2016. Man City 2nd. 2017. Man City 2nd. 2018. Man City 2nd. 2019. Man City 3rd. 2020. Man City 3rd. 2021. Man City 3rd. 2024. Man City 3rd. 2027. Man City Champions. 2028. Man City 2nd. 2030. Man City Champions. 2031. Man City Champions. 2032. Man City 3rd. 2033. Man City Champions. I was plaing in Italy so obviously Serie A was loaded and Roma on the other hand.... 2014 11th 2015 11th 2016 4th 2017 18th & relegated. 2018 8th 2019 2nd & promoted 2020 17th 2021 12th 2022 16th 2023 18th & relegated 2024 2nd & promoted 2025 19th & relegated 2026 1st and promoted 2027 17th 2028 16th 2029 6th 2030 13th 2031 6th 2032 14th 2033 14th and they look like they might get relegated again this year. If I was to hazard a guess, (and I have looked at this before), I would suggest that the board/chairman hidden attributes are such that they are just quite demanding and they keep sacking people. My save has only been running for 20 seasons and they have gone through 14 managers. That doesn't sound too bad until you think that they have been promoted 3 times, and 2 of those managers managed to avoid coming back down again the following season. It's only a hunch but I think that the board are the cause of the problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isignedupfornorealreason Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Southampton and Hull always take the top spots in the Prem or near enough. City, Arsenal and Liverpool enjoy the bottom along with United sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE82 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well at least I'm not alone here. Can't work it out tho, cos we all have the same stats at the start of the game at these two massive clubs but I have never ever seen either do well in the opening few seasons despite fantastic talent, yet others have seen City dominate. Bizarre. I'd rather see them dominate if I'm honest, cos at least it's realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcanary Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Maybe it's to do with the database size you have, compared to others? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
