fivetwelvepony Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Is there a way to start a save in, say, 2030? I'm interested in beginning when most real players are gone. That way, I start with no preconceived notions about ability and best positions. Also, I would like to do so with the editor disabled, so I'm not tempted to look at CA/PA/personality. Is the best way to start a save in 2020 for the team I want to manage, but make myself unfirable and go on holiday for 10 years, then disable the editor?

Brother Ben Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just start with a "fake" manager call him/her whatever then holiday until that date. Add yourself Resign the fake one to make it go quicker you could use just 1 league then add the rest after the 10 year holiday To be honest though you might as well start in a league you know nothing about, its kind of the same thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokopije Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 You can create some XYZ manager, start with him as unemployed, set him on holiday for 10 years or how long you wish, than when game reach desired date go to "add another manager" and add yourself, retire him and that's it.

Colorado Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Isn't there a use fake players option when creating a game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impacto Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Obviously you can just holiday 10 seasons, but that's annoying. Here is a suggestion if you want to make things a bit less boring until you reach the 2030 point you're going for - Play as a National manager. You'll only have 5 to 10 games a year and you can holiday in between the matches. It will take a bit longer, but you can have some fun playing some World Cups. When you reach your desired year, make a savepoint and go from there. Or maybe you can ask someone who is already in a long-term save to give you the file. It can add quite the interesting element to your future save. And finally you can just start a new game with fake players right off the bat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I hadn't noticed that option before. It's weird starting a save with no Mbappe. But at least this time I won't go completely forget that Phil Foden is a real player and not a regen. Covid+FM20 did weird things to my brain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only creates players with a different name and nationality, but same stats as real players. The only true, true fake players option is using an Editor Data file that removes all people from the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balance always seems off with players and the way they're generated into clubs. It's still a solution, just not a perfect one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstad1069 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I always do this because i have no interest in players of today. Just add a xxx manager, choose a team far down in the leauge system, then retire, press continue and go to bed and school or job the day after. Remember to put the "continue game timeout" to instant.
