Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD=colspan: 2, align: center]FM15 'Big' Euro Challenge aka The Leftovers Challenge[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 30][/TD] [TD=align: center][/TD] [TD=width: 125][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD] Well, we are now heading into the seventh year of this challenge. It has been an incredible six years around here with some great stories, clubs, and players. Rlipscombe, Iacovone and Myself are looking forward to another great year. This challenge is similar to dafuge's, Gundo's & others, starting with a previously unplayable club and taking them all the way to a National Title and then on to the European Champions League. With a variety of leagues, styles of play, different rules, and many different locations for your clubs there can be a lot of variety throughout the thread, a great atmosphere and fun with all our users. This season promotion into the bottom level in Scotland adds some new clubs and a whole new challenge. Special credit to Duccio for the logo atop this years challenge.

I like "Unemployed Man or Holiday Man" 2) Go on holiday until the reset date of your chosen nation (Should take about an hour) TIP - Changing Detail Level to None will make it go faster. (Remember to change it back afterwards) TIP - Saving on the day before this date may give you a better choice of teams by reloading the game then going on holiday for one day, I would strongly recommend trying this. TIP - In Netherlands go on holiday til the day after the last game in 2014/15 (April 25th) you will take over the last placed team 3) Add a new manager - Use yourself, or a created character to help build a story line a) Personal Details - Your Choice b) Additional Info - Your Choice c) Tracksuit vs Trainer - Your Choice d) Past Experience lowest Possible (Generally Sunday League) e) Coaching Licenses lowest Possible (None) f) Other options are up to you TIP - If you add the language of your country of choice it will make it easier at the beginning TIP - Training now includes you at some level depending on your abilities. 4) Choose to take over any club which has been promoted to the bottom playable league of your nation. TIP - Easiest way in FM15 to see this is on the "Season Review" screen, showing the "Promoted Clubs" TIP - You can confirm your club by checking the Domestic History's page for not being at this level since start of game 5) Retire your unemployed manager. 6) Manage your club to National Title & European Champions League Victory 7) Completing the 'Big' Euro Challenge. [/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]C) Signing of Players 1) You must be able to scout them TIP - You don't actually have to scout them, just be able to TIP - You can check your scouting range on the Scouting page 2) Alternatively (If you can't scout them), you must bring them on a trial first 3) And from FM11 onwards Agents offer players, you are able to sign anyone sent to you via Agent Offer TIP - Make sure you screenshot the Agent offer 4) In later versions you can get your DoF to find players, he will bring in players not in Scouting Range, these are also allowed. TIP - Grab a screenshot of your DoF signing them [/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]D) Posting 1) Player naming is allowed. (This is a warning for those of you who do not wish to see this) 2) Discussion of tactics is allowed. (This is another warning for those of you who do not wish to see this) Expected Updates We have minimum expectations when it comes to a first up post and also in the end of season updates. The Bold pages are necessary for everyone, the others are some suggestions that will get others interested in your posts and following your club. All other screenshots are welcome and encouraged, but we please ask that the majority are posted as links, because lots of pictures can make the page very slow to load. First Post: Information (Manager) Domestic Leagues History (Club) Profile (Manager) General (Club) Overview (Club) Squad (Club) End of Season Updates: Transfers (Club) - This is so we can see the ins & outs League Table (Competition) Squad (Club) Information (Manager) Profile (Manager) Information (Club) Profile (Players) I will show some examples of updates down below in the next posts so you can see some of the stuff previously posted. Progress of your club should be documented using this thread, we want to hear the story of your club all the way through. Please keep us updated, even if you are doing badly. If you title your end of season report in bold this makes it easier to identify. Everyone will be supportive, and really get into your game if you give more detail, I also provide a list of some previous star players that may have become household names in this thread.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]E) Other 1) If you are Sacked (i) You can Restart from the beginning or; (ii) Continue your game and pick a new club (Under Same Rules) at the end of the next season or; (iii) Add another Big Euro League/Remove Current League, holiday a whole season and continue a) You can still only have one nation running at a time b) Once the league becomes active you MUST holiday a full season c) The club must be one of those unplayable from the beginning 2) No Restrictions on Parent or Feeder Clubs 3) International Management allowed from FM14 forwards (But you cannot start as an International Manager) The use of any external utilities and editors (Such as Genie Scout or FMM) are prohibited. As in FM14 there are also unlockables, these are also prohibited, please don't use them. It would be appreciated if you also ticked the box at the start which prevents the use of the ingame editor.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]How to Post a Screenshot 1) While in FM, press the 'Prt Sc' button (usually next to F12 on your keyboard). 2) Open an image editing program such as Paint and paste the image 3) Save the file as a JPEG or PNG 4) Upload the image to an image hosting website such as Photobucket or Imageshack 5) Post the direct Url to the image here. Alternatively using ALT + F9 in game saves a screenshot to your user data folder. (You can also edit this in the shortcuts options) The LLR Motivational Finally I would like to wish everyone taking on this challenge the best of luck on a long and hard journey to managerial success! The atmosphere and contribution in this thread has always been excellent, long may it continue. As core members for every year, LLR, rlipscombe, Iacovone and PRDH would like to add that we are here to help for the new challengers and hope everybody that participates contributes considerably to the thread. There is nothing better than getting immersed not only in your own game but providing the encouragement to other people's attempts too. Remember we are all fighting the same battle - to defeat the AI (and uncover fabulous newgens!) - therefore it goes without saying that any form of cheating will be severely chastised. Don't do it! We have had an incident in the past, lets not see it again - it spoils the challenge for the hard workers in here. Game Goes Live I have updated the opening post with the latest information and am looking forward to this final countdown. With 6 1/2 hrs to go at this stage I am getting a bit excited, I am working from home today and hoping to get as much done as possible before 1pm my time so I can kick on and get started with some play this afternoon. I will ensure to upload some save games before I start my own game. Will do a Holiday in each of the places and load them before I start (Probably in Portugal, and probably with Alverca). Good Luck to everyone else, let's get into this.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 FM15 Euro Challenge's History The Origins of this Challenge were in FM2008 when JoseRR realised there was a gap between the Gundos & Dafuges challenges, the Bigger Nations of Europe were being left out. Over the years we have picked up other nations as they have been left out, whether Turkey as it got higher in reputation, we lost Netherlands in the same adjustments. We have also added Scotland and Ireland as they lost promotion/relegation to the lower divisions. This thread has always been more about the community and joining a bunch of like-minded individuals challenging for the ultimate goal of European Club Football.

The thread seemed to suffer as the Careers Forum took over and it seems the players of the game got a bit older and had more going on in their lives. With the thread never reaching the heights of previous seasons. We still managed to see several completions through the season though as we saw some new players take them out.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 The Logo Packs I prefer the Metallic Pack, it seems to have more of our logos as well, but I have included a couple of others as well.

(Latest Version = 15.1) The Kit Packs Sortitoutsi is the best place to find these, and they run three styles, I have always found the Short sleeve version is the favourite, so here are the kits for our leagues, and you can add any others you like. (The individual download links may change, but check the main page) - If you prefer a different style, there are other styles, include long sleeve versions on the Sortitoutsi website. Hoping there are more Portuguese kits this year, were a bit short lately. I am going to try to compile the kits we are missing in the last week of November from my own archives (I have kits going back to 08/09 in my back-up drives), and will make this available for download somewhere (Possibly by PMing me) => Let me know if you require any kits not available in the FM14 or 15 kits and I'll link them for you. 2014/15 Kits (As at 31/05/14) - Kits for Nations France - Ligue 1, Ligue 2, National Germany - Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2, Liga 3 Italy - Serie A, Serie B Netherlands - Portugal - Liga Sagres, Liga2 Cabovisão Russia - Premier, National Scotland - Premiership, League 1, League 2, Highland & Lowland Leagues.

rancer890 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's good to still see this challenge going strong all these years. I think my latest attempt here was with Dardanelspor in Turkey in FM13 I believe before I quit the game for nearly a year. This challenge alongside the usual career game is something I'm considering... Shamrock Rovers B probably shouldn't be eligible because they are a B team.

rlipscombe Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 getting in there early with the FM15 thread mate!! don't blame you though with all the prep work you do. i'd be getting it done too. Great work so far and sure it'll just get better and better.... Haven't even loaded the game since my daughter was born in July but i am starting to get those first tingles of excitement over the game. not really seen anything about the game so far so i will get on the youtube channel and watch a few videos. Hopefully i'll be able to get the game on release. As for the questions, me opinions (for what they're worth) are: 1) Coaching Badges - Wi agree, probably the lowest available 2) International Mgmt - Agree, allow if you desire. Obviously not from the beginning but if offered a role (proof required) then i am happy for people to take the role 3) Languages/Favoured Clubs - Whatever the player wants to do for me too 4) Ireland - i don't see why we can't allow it here. it's a yes for me.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Setting up this thread now for discussion about any rule changes, division changes etc, rather than filling up the 2014 thread, or getting it elsewhere, so discussion points for now: 1) Coaching Badges - We want to use the lowest possible? 2) International Mgmt - Following on from 2014 - Keep it as allowed? But not at start 3) Languages/Favoured Clubs - However you want to set it up? 4) Ireland - There is no relegation/Promotion at the bottom level, so Gundo has dropped it, should we include it? (I lean to yes) Anything else you wish to discuss.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duccio Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Excellent thank you (Gotta be better than my botch job ), I even tried to use GIMP to get the transparent, and nope I don't remember when I have last used GIMP, but you possibly have to manually add an alpaha channel to the image for it to be/remain transparent. Obviously I just had to play with things, and this is "work in progress". There is now the Irish flag on the map and the Irish FA crest with the other logos (I thought that Germany had changed their logo, but apparently it was just for the shirt). Additionally there are now silhouettes of some landmarks from capital cities of the participating countries, blueish tint that looks kinda fresher than the earlier grey, smaller logos with countries' colours just bove them, different font used in text, list of countries' names and a boxy thingy to keep it all together.

duccio Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks for the kind words guys! Do you work in design? I do have a degree in industrial design. Some subtle changes to the banner. The main one being the distribution of the background buildings - in the first version the structures were in countries' alphabetical order, but it caused the more blocky buildings to concentrate on the right side of the image, so I shuffled them around a bit. Now their order does not correspond with the country name list, but I guess it does not matter. Unless there is some obvious defect or deficiency in the image, then maybe it can be used as it is now?

iacovone Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hey guys! I'm starting this off in Italy, just like old times! Progress may be a bit slower than usual but I'll endeavour to keep you updated as and when I can. I'm taking control of Taranto - a team I'm absolutely delighted to see come under the challenge rules this year! My name on here (iacovone) comes from their stadium name after one of my all-time favourite FM files (FM06 maybe). So, yeah, hope everyone's good. As an aside, if you're interested in youtube videos, let's plays, that kinda thing, I've started up a youtube channel (basically enjoy the editing and producing what I think is semi-decent content ). The LINK - would appreciate any views/likes etc as I'm trying to build up a decent fanbase. Will be expanding beyond Fifa15 videos once I get more confident.

Muggert Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Tough start to my career at Piacenza. I cant sign any players as I can't adjust my wage budget. So even though I have 10k a week left I cannot sign players due to not being able to give even 1k in signing bonus. But it's not all negative: Giuseppe Cozzolino is topscorer in the league!

Tecmo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ok, question on France. Do we have to load the CFA? Makes it quite a pain trying to get new teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 No you don't have to load CFA Also I just got an email cancelling my pre-order, so have just bought through steam instead and started the download... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 So 15mins left in my downloading, in the BETA I'll just be having a play around, first to get the dates, and then with a team (Unless I get attached won't be continuing with them) Will update the eligible teams once the full version is out (So probably 8th/9th November) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 First game in I have started in Portugal, like the look of it, not sure on the side bar, but am shure I'll get used to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello everyone, good to see this thread up and running again. I have managed to be out of the country for the release date - terrible planning, so will just have a watching brief for a few days, but am looking to throw myself in properly when I'm back. I'm tempted by Scotland this year, but I don't know. I really want to recreate the feeling of Lusitania Acores a few years ago where my youth academy was basically the national team in waiting, so I may be tempted to go to a smaller nation and jump into Gundo's for the first time. Otherwise, Russia or Turkey hold a significant amount of interest. Good luck everyone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 So in Portugal there are a whooping TWENTY teams promoted at the end of season 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Looking at Alverca Futebol SAD as my team, another one of these clubs who were previously in the top division went broke (Under dodgy circumstances) and left the league then started again as a new club the following season.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hardest bit is deciding if I want to be a Tracksuit or Tactical Manager Like Tracksuit would help in lower levels as you don't have many coaches, but you also don't get many points anyway, probably lean towards Tactical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Have gone fully tactical, and sacrificed a point in each player knowledge stat to put onto Man Management (Now 6). Will post an opening update soon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
