OH OK.....Hmm there can't just not be a way can there?

I forgot to tell you the part about swimming ahead....sorry I had forgotten.

OK...I am wrong then...I would like an answer to this also as you would think it's pretty straightforward....yet it isn't.

I find that these are both decent advice on setting up a save...but they are both a bit different. Yellow Card is suggesting you load the custom database players in divisions & continents, while not having view only leagues... but the FM Blog advice suggests all leagues as view only (except your own) and then having all players in the custom continental database.

Is this considered a good way to setup up a save? Will this result in too many greyed out players on rosters? https://www.footballmanagerblog.org/2022/10/best-way-to-set-up-football-manager-2023-save-fm23.html?m=1

Thank you..I will be sure to watch

I was confused about this at one point also...I think what you can do is to take control of all of the individual players, and then delegate it back to your assistant. I am not positive, but I think this may work.

The file that is provided for download doesn't seem to load in FM 23

yes I just tried to ask him, but he wasn't very helpful...I am a newer player, so a lot of this doesn't make sense to me.

When setting up my initial game, I am trying to use all of the available leagues in one way or another (view only or playable).Obviously it's tough to get the right combination....for the leagues I am designating "view only" I am loading up the nation in the custom database. My issue however as a fairly new player, is which options here should I be selecting? I will have far too many players for processing if I select all of the options...which ones do people consider neccessary for a realistic experience? Thank You for any advice and/or help Cheers!

Thank you for thi!! Very helpful!! I am going to enjoy learning a new game!!

Hello...I am diving into a new FM 23 save, and while I have limited experience with FM (over 20 years) I have never really dove into a save, and therefore am likely not aware of all the game concepts. On top of it, I am an American who is managing in the MLS, and have very limited tactical knowledge of the game to tart with. I have never played football, nor have I really ever watched or followed it. As a yank, I am much more familiar with our version of football as well as baseball. So I am wondering if there are some good places for me to go to learn about game concepts, tactics etc... Video guides are great, but I am also happy to read anything that will help me with Football Manager. I suppose I am lucky I am somewhat familiar with the MLS rules such International slots, drafts, free agency, salary cap, etc...I am not as familiar with some of the other contracts such as Generation Adidas, Designated Contracts, Young Designated Players etc.. I do think if I am going to be successful though, I am going to need the ins & outs of tactics. The rest I think is fairly easily learnable..but tactics are basically greek to me. I mean, I know SOME things such as "closing down" "pressing" and so forth...I am also reasonable familiar with the rules...just not the nuts & bolts of how the game flows. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers & Thank You!!

No...my issue is with the number of leagues and detail I can run. I prefer a larger and more realistic world, but I am finding I need to put most nations on "view only". Is this normal?

I "thought" this was going to be more than enough when I purchased it 3 years ago. And while not shabby, it has not really lived up to my expectations for FM. What is your advice?

Any other suggestions? I am looking for the most realistic setup possible…but I realize I’ll have to make some choices.

OK thank you.

As the title suggests, I am looking to get moving on a new save. I am going to do an MLS save, which is probably very different from what most people are used to. I am wondering which leagues/nations are good candidates to have enabled with this league, and which ones should maybe be in full detail? I am assuming England is a good nation to include as a playable nation...maybe Mexico or Scotland, but I am not really sure which leagues directly impact the MLS the most. Thank You for any insight...much appreciated.

I have the FM 23 In Game Editor (not sure if I need it for what I am asking or not) but how can I delete or rid of a language in my manager profile? Is this possible?

I’ll see how I do!! If you ever need any OOTP advice JCP & myself can always lend a hand. We have years of experience with it.

It might be taking me that long also. My processor is a 2.4 Ghz 8-core intel core i9. I wish I had waited for the new Mac processors, but when I custom built this MacBook Pro in the spring of 2020 I didn't know. How do you think my processor will handle all of the leagues? I am somewhat patient when it comes to swimming (as I want the greatest degree of accuracy & detail as possible) but so far, it's taking a good 5 minutes of processing per day. I can live with that, but if it get worse or to the point where I can't deal with the times, I will have to re-think things. The nice thing about FM is you can change the detail level on the fly.

yep..I have all of the leagues enabled...I just couldn't seem to find any other job though.

It’s mid-season, the team is in horrible shape and I was given an 8 month contract and told to simply avoid relegation. I just took the job because it seemed it was all I could get without any coaching Licenses and a Sunday Footballer reputation. Does it matter that I only speak English?

I finally found one in a Spanish Lower league B-Team squad…this will be interesting!

WOW!! Finding a job isn't easy!! LOL

Here is another question...as far as starting, does it matter what nation I start in since I am unemployed? The reason I ask, is because I figured I'd try to find a date that is close to the actual present date. So for example, Australia has a start date sometime in October 2022. If I select this, will I somehow be more apt to receive job offers from Australian clubs?
