Prestige Worldwide Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi everyone I haven't managed to find a similar thread on here via search so apologies if this has already been done before. I'm wondering how the rest of you take notes on your saves and I thought this could be a great opportunity to share methods so we can all improve our own game experience. Method Do you use the Notebook facility within the game (I don't think this is available on FMT mode)? Do you use your own physical notepad? Do you use Excel? Do you use a separate tablet/phone? Do you use a specific app to take notes? Do you not take any notes at all? Purpose To help organise tactics and training To record transfer targets and squad requirements Any others To kick this off, I usually keep notes to plan attribute requirements for each position within my tactic, record no.of players vs available squad positions and to organise training.

Cougar2010 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 A few years ago I used to have quite detailed spreadsheets for each save recording a lot of data. More recently some of the screens in FM and the ability to add columns has taken away a lot of the need for me. Now I tend to just have a single spreadsheet with basic details such as position & approx ability just to help me understand the balance of my squad while possible transfers I tend to scribble down on a notepad.

dafuge Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I use the windows notepad to list the priority of positions for potential transfers over the summer, especially in the lower leagues where I have a high turnover of players. I also use it to make a note of the duties of my retiring staff, so I know where to assign their replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan045 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I use my iPhone notepad on Youth Intake day, I record a few recommended players by the HOYD's personality and coaching style, I note key things in the intake game. Players over 7.5 I note down and write a small paragraph on how they played. (This is all before checking who's got great potential and who hasn't) I find myself attached to the players from noting how they played and usually sign them even if they're not the greatest of player. Same goes for scouting/signing a player. If I want to spend money I'll get scout reports off 2-3 scouts, I'll then use that information to compare the two and finally I attend one of the games there playing and note everything that the player does in that match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
