splishysplash123 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 That's all really, is Russia at all worth loading in FM24 or will they just slow the game down without contributing interesting young players or European competitiveness? I would say no, but I'm planning a save in Turkey and with the two being somewhat proximate and -Stan countries counting as Turks for domestic league registration purposes (and I imagine some of those individuals playing/ being generated in Russia?) it feels like it becomes a valid question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
priority76 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I wouldn't bother loading Russia with things how they are. I would load all players of "stan" country nationality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I enjoyed my saves in Russia. It mostly depends on if you are open to coaching there. In terms of contributing players, I heard that all first divisions should be loaded. Another option is to have Russia loaded as "View Only".

phnompenhandy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I actually cheated and used the editor to change my Russian youth's nationality to Ukrainian. I know it's no solution; it's just me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overmars Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I manage in Europe and load nations where I want the biggest clubs to have complete/active squads in continental competitions. Since Russia got banned from continental competitions, I haven't bothered to load them and don't miss them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrIgz Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I normally load quite a few leagues from around the world, including Russia. Since their ban, I have continued to load the league, but it probably doesn't add so much value any more. In a journeyman save, I find it unlikely I would find myself there with no prospect of European football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an off-topic subforum where these types of things can be discussed. This is for FM only. Please don't continue this here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussoTuristo Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Well, I'm waiting for update that puts Russia back in Continental Cups. Why would I remove Top-10 league in Europe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I remove Top-10 league in Europe? I'm fine with their exclusion for now, as that is realistic and will likely go on for a year or two for sure. My buggest gripe is that I generally simulate about 10 to 12 years before I begin a save, and then aim to play that save for quite a few seasons. Which means that Russia is out for like 2 decades in my game world. And I have to always come up with some horrible long term mess in my head to justify the ongoing situation not being resolved for 20 years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
