Hello,
I have just been offered the R. Madrid job, and excitedly took it. Once I'd gone through all the introductions, I pressed continue, which took me straight to my Training screen. From here, it won't allow me to continue. It's as if I've got something to do before I can continue, but it doesn't say Needs Response on the Continue button. I cannot figure out why I cannot go any further now. Can someone help, please, it's driving me nuts?!
My file is Chris - R Madrid'

This is a feature I'd like to see also. Along with that, when you go to resize a column, it often starts resizing several columns at once. I just want to be able to make on column wider at a time instead of it moving all columns. It's as if the columns are grouped and changing one will change the rest in that particular group.

Completely agree! It was put forward to me in a Pre Game conference that Pep Guardiola was speaking highly of me, and how do I take it. I responded saying I appreciate it especially coming from someone I admire. After the game, in the post match conference they said that Pep seems to show no desire to cool the war of words with me. I was beside myself. That was completely not the way the conferences had gone and was completely fabricated by the game. Pep and I were on good terms, both praising the other and all of a sudden I'm answering questions about a supposed war of words. Ridiculous!

This is a great recommendation. I often create clubs in the editor for use in different saves. For some saves I won't use all databases. E.g. I have a database called 'MLS SF", where I created a club called San Francisco Bay FC and added them into the MLS. However, long before I created the "MLS SF" database, I had created a club called Royal Newquay 92 who play in League Two in a database called "Custom 1". When I start a game using the "MLS SF" database, I don't select the "Custom 1" database, meaning that Royal Newquay do not exist in this particular game and League Two have the correct teams. Because I have club logos and kits for all teams I create, what this means is that when I go to the San Francisco Bay FC club page in the new game, they have the logo and kits of Royal Newquay, despite me not using their database. It's very irritating. To have the IDs unique to the item created in the database (i.e. not set to the order of when they were created), this would alleviate the problem regarding custom graphics.

Strange post. My game shows inflation very well. I get rather annoyed when my 18 year old striker is sitting on a wage of £5k a week, but just because he's had a fantastic season, he expects me to part with £120k a week from my budget!! And my wage budget has increased steadily year on year, going from £1,800,000 per week to £3,240,000 after 5 seasons.

You negotiate contracts with more money because that's what you'd do in real life. I think an option to use the money earned as managers would completely ruin the game. I'm not playing Football Manager to spend money on silly things. I'm playing to manage a football club. We should be more than capable f using our imaginations when it comes to managers's wages. For instance, whenever I manage a club, I will always research the city they're based in and more often than not I'd browse property websites to see what kind of property I would be able to find while I manage this club. I can imagine spending money on somewhere to live, suitable for my family, close to the training ground. I don't need to actually do it in game.

Hello all. Like many of you, I create kits for my teams, and will often create a new one every few seasons or so to keep the game fresh and help make it feel exciting when new kits are used. This also means I like to experiment with the colours of Away and Third kits. In my Fulham save, I keep their white and black Home kit, of course. But I want to change their red Away kit and navy Third kit. I have created a number of different kits that love to use in game, however when it comes to game time, the Away kit shows as my created kit but the players all wear the red kit still. Same with the Third kit; the new shirt shows but they use the navy one. Can someone help me get around this so i can see the team play in the new colours? Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure I'd be for players having an international preference. It seems to me that option lies with the nation's manager. But having a second preferred number would be good. For someone who enjoys the squad number part of the game, I can relate to players taking silly numbers as being annoying. I saw a newgen AMC at another club who was a solid starter, but had #5, and when I looked at the team's numbers across all squads, numbers 10, 18 and other desirable ones were available. So random.
Along the same lines, I'd like to see numbers capped, so that players cannot select stupid numbers like 85 or 99. These numbers have no place on a football jersey. Gone are the days when the number denoted the player's playing position.
Finally, I'd like more newgens with preferred numbers, and make them more realistic. I've had DCs want #2 or #3, STs want #12 and others want ridiculous numbers like 43, 63, or 72. Just silly. For me, I always want either 14 or 18.

Football is a crazy game. You can have many things go wrong on and off the pitch. Players having affairs with team mates' wives causing unrest at the club, protests over club ownership, players sent off and banned for things like missing a drugs test (ala Ferdinand) or king-fu kicking a spectator (ala Cantona - as if I needed to explain). Players fighting team mates on the pitch (Bowyer & Dyer, Newcastle Utd) to the utter ridiculous whereby a player will dedicate on the pitch (Linekar, Italia 90). The point I'm making is that none of this was ever reproduced and seen in Championship Manager, and Football Manager has done the same. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Football Manager 2021 release that plays the seasons as normal, with no changes, the only nod to the current virus being some players may be sidelined by after effects of it. Equally, I wouldn't be surprised if they outright ignores the pandemic and released the game as it would have been. Finally, I also wouldn't be surprised to see the game scrapped for the season and SI just work on making FM22 a cracker.

As far as I am aware, if for example your team plays in red tops and white shorts, adding a pair of red shorts to your kit and giving it an Alternative Kit Number value of 1, the gamer will in theory change the team's shorts to play in red ones if the opposition are wearing white ones.

Oh, you-'re making me nostalgic now. Going back to the 2000/2001 edition of CM would be incredible. Or even as far as CM 97/98, that would be something else!

Using the In-Game Editor, select Allow Licensed Kits. This will put it back to the custom kits you added. Making changes to the kits with the In-Game Editor will always set the kits to the default. Selecting Allow Licensed Kits will put them back again.

I love the idea, I am all for these kind of progressions. However, when it comes to logos, licensing for logos will likely prove to be a stumbling block.
I have already posted the idea of expansion teams within US or Australian leagues, and think that could be taken forward. But teams chasing logos would be difficult when many players play the game with logo packs. These packs would just hide any changes to the generic logo.

I like this suggestion. I recently declared my interest in Tottenham's Troy Parrot. I make a couple of offers which were rejected, then sent a scout to watch him. The player himself said he was flattered to be linked with me and appreciates that we sent a scout. Then, I went to watch him play and the press said they were at a loss as to why I was there. I was dumbfounded. I like the idea of watching your son's game and the press noting it. I also like the idea of them noting you watching a team play big games. For instance, I watched Scotland in the World Cup (being a Scottish manager), and they didn't know why I was there. I was clearly enjoying my time off, watching my country lay in a tournament we hardly ever qualify for.

I'll be honest, this is the part of football that I would happily forgo realism on the game. I love how realistic FM is, but agents in the game drive me insane. Agents who say "if you expect these negotiations to go smoothly, you should include a substantial fee for my services" make my blood boil. Firstly, their "services" are employed by the player, not the football club. Secondly, their "services" can quite easily be cut out of the conversation and that would allow the player and football club to agree terms, without them. They are not needed. I hate how they demand "substantial fees" from clubs. I don't like them in real life, I don't believe they deserve to make the money they do for the work they do. Especially not when it comes to agents like Raiola. The man is a disease. If he doesn't get his own way, we will make stuff up in the press and tout his players about. I pray FM never introduces this kind of thing. I'd love for them to scale back on the agent's input in games.

See, this would be fantastic, triplets! I actually created triplets of my own to play in the game (I do not have triplet sons, just fantasy). So, my lovely lady and I talk about expending the family, and this is a bit of day dreaming, whereby our sons play football together and then get to see their paths and where they end up.

I like what you've suggested. The big one for me, and I know it's not huge, is the retired squad numbers option. I'm a nerd when it comes to squad numbers. If I have a youngster who's a fringe player and he wears number 27, for example, then starts to become better and better but keeps 27, then I would love there to be a feature in the game whereby he adopts that number as a preferred number. Then, if he becomes a legend at the club (or loved by the fans at least), the club will look at the possibility of retiring his number (with manager's input? I don't know about anyone else, but when I play, I have players I have brought in years ago who I just feel are fan favourites and icons at the club but are not listed as such, and there are other players who are listed as icons who I don't feel deserve it. So I would love it if we could have a say about retiring a number). Maybe an option as well, to allow the number to come out of retirement if a family member wants to wear it, a.k.a. Paolo Maldini's #3 jersey at Milan is retired/reserved for his sons.

I don't get why you would want to separate them from Ajax.
Sort of piggy backing onto this thread with something loosely connected, I would love the possibility to have a footballing group created, in the same vain as Manchester City's "City Group", who own Manchester City as well as owning Melbourne City and New York City FC. Both the US and Australian clubs play in Manchester City's colours and they all work together and are listed as affiliates. I tried the same with the IGE with a couple of clubs, but still couldn't get the same information on the affiliates screen as City does for the others.

Completely agree. I like the idea of this being a minor feature in future games. To have two brothers come through the academy would be superb. As you say, there are many sporting families, past and present, who play football. Stephen Gerrard and cousin Anthony. The Nevilles. The Redknapps. Ian Wright and his sons Shaun & Bradley Wright-Phillips. Longstaff brothers playing at Newcastle. There are so many. You only have to look at the Wikipedia page on the subject and you'll find that England has it's own page full of family members who all play. Brothers, fathers and sons, cousins, uncles and nephews.

I kind of see what you're getting at with having a "super assistant". I haven't seen it suggested yet, so maybe I should do so in a new thread, but I would like something similar, whereby you have your assistant who is deeply loyal to you (the kind who is your friend, who you have over with his family at Christmas or other holidays etc) and who believes in you. Then, if you move to another club, you have the option to bring him along (I know we can decide to bring staff from our previous club, but sometimes they don't want to move because they're happy there). And I mean he or she will come along with you for most of your career. Think Brian Clough and Peter Taylor back in the day, Sir Alex and Carlos Queiroz or Mourinho and Rui Faria who followed Jose all over Europe. Not just that, but even other staff members too. Just an idea.

More realistic stadiums by all mean, but in what universe would the manager be designing the stadium? If it was to be included it should be one of those paid for things in FMT.
I understand the argument that managers don't have a say on this IRL, but for the purposes of the player's enjoyment of the game, this would go a very long way. It adds to the realism of it. It will further immerse you in a world of make believe. For instance, I am playing with Fulham. My stadium is the generic stadium with four open corners that contain the generic ambulance and crew (they look very British, yet appear at grounds across the world...). I would enjoy it more if I could see my team walk out from the corner and see the Pavillion at Craven Cottage. Much like I would enjoy it more if I visited the San Siro when playing one of the Milan sides in Europe, and saw the red girders on the roof and spiral pillars of the stadium. It just adds to the experience in a huge way.
Because I understand the argument that managers wouldn't have a say, I agree with you that it should be an option to buy, and I certainly would do.

I think this is an excellent idea, in the same way I think it's a great idea to introduce the USL leagues into the American football pyramid. Because MLS and the A League run leagues where teams are licensed franchises and there is no promotion/relegation, I think this would make it much more interesting.
Also, an add on to your original suggestion; for when you are further on in the game, the ability to see expansion teams in these leagues, I believe, would be really well received. I created a club based in San Francisco, and when I swapped them with a team playing in the Western Conference, they were put in that conference in the game. However, all the other teams were mixed up (i.e. both New York teams playing in the Western Conference, and LAFC playing in the Eastern Conference). All this hassle to add a team from San Francisco. So yeah, I would love to see these leagues have the ability to expand. Maybe take another team from Queensland's Sunshine or Gold Coast. Maybe a franchise from the Perth area, Fremantle perhaps? And for me, a Tasmania based team would be brilliant. To be fair, I can understand it may be difficult to implement, but it would still be very fun indeed, and maybe more people will play in these leagues. Oh, before I forget... the option for the human player to name the teams would be incredible. And probably ideal. We don't want teams like New York Flash or the California Surf or something silly!

I'm glad I searched through the forum, because I was looking to see if this suggestion had been made. I'm currently playing my 5th season as Fulham. Because the game is so immersive, I do many things when I'm at a club. So, I will research the club's city. I will research the club, it's supporters and it's big rivals. I will then look at property in and around the club's stadium and/or training ground. It's as if I am imagining myself actually managing the club and what I would do, where I would live etc if it were real. It's a part of the beauty of the game, for me. But the one thing I've wanted the most, in regards to creating that immersive realism, is to be able to imagine what it'd be like in a wonderful home with family in a city where I manage, and to be able to daydream about the winners medals etc I have in my office. What clubs did I play for? What competitions, if any, did I win? Was I a one-club man?
So, picture this:
I have taken control as Fulham, and can imagine my home, the area I live in and all that kind of thing. I get a job offer from A.C. Milan. On their General screen, listed under the Club Legends, I see my name. I spent half a career at the San Siro, helping the club to the Scudetto, and Champions League glory. I should have a better chance at getting the Milan job as I am revered by the fans and hated by the fans in black and blue. I'm thinking like Guardiola, and how he got his managing start at Barcelona B, then only one year later got his first senior gig as Barcelona manager. Who gets that job that quick? Zidane was Real Madrid Castillla manager for two years before taking the reigns of the senior team. Yes, they probably worked really hard, but any other manager who has that little experience does not walk into those jobs. They did, because they had glittering careers with those clubs and because legends at those clubs. It would be great to have the same thing be able to happen in FM.

Cannot Continue Game

Hi Kyle,
I tried everything but nothing worked. I have a couple of databases added plus a custom skin. However, I quit the game and fired it up the next day and it was sorted.
Thanks for your time.
