Selecting Jersey Color for Matches
Brother Ben replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
The issue with managers buying players is that when CM/FM was first conceived managers did indeed have pretty much full involvement in signings. At least in the UK. It's now become such a fundamental part of the game experience that its an acceptable compromise in terms of realism. To say as has been mentioned in this thread that it would purely be down to a DOF is nonsense. It's becoming the trend but my guess is that really experienced managers do have a huge say in signings. They just aren't involved in the contract side of it anymore. I know it wouldn't happen because its one of the major attractions of the franchise but when you apply for a job at a club I think you should be told what level of control you will get over transfers. Maybe you can even negotiate it at the interview stage. You could then as your career progresses earn the right to be more involved in signings. Things like choosing shirt colours a manager would never be involved in. If there are clashes then its up to SI to fix the game to make sure it doesn't happen imo. -

Yeah there's loads I'd like to see gone, not least hiring/firing the director of football. -

I think the answer would be that its not something a manager would decide -
Youngest Assistant manager EVER??
Brother Ben replied to Tiki Tak'n Turner's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
To be fair at that level he could well be more like a personal assistant putting out cones -
Percentage Of Next Sale Issue
Brother Ben replied to corn_onthecurb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Yeah it's clearly a bug. Needs reporting -
I always think of FM as an RPG so the best version of the game for me is where my save has the best story or drama.

Loved all of that. The massive font, the drama, the accusations of cheating. A proper roller-coaster.

Assistent-Manager of another club?
Brother Ben replied to TimoVD's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I think what you are getting at is that you've had a message about one of your players mastering a new position but the message has come from the assistant of another club. Is he on loan there? If not then it may be worth reporting as a bug -

Wow FM24 in 5120 x 1440 is just crazy!!!
Brother Ben replied to Consiglieri's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Fair play Dave that whole setup looks amazing. -
I had a goalkeeper crisis once and had to field a grey player, he was amazing but before i had remembered to sign him up the other players had returned and he had disapeared never to be seen again. Still remember his 2 clean sheets fondly though. Here's to you Michael "the cat" Brown, gone but not forgotten 🍺

FM24 Performance Benchmarking Thread
Brother Ben replied to Brother Ben's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I've changed it on the sreadsheet to 5.4 and i'll update the screenshots next time around. For Intel I only take the base and high of the P cores. This may change for FM25 etc moving forward -
How does morale affect the game?
Brother Ben replied to ChaosReiter's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
This made me laugh out loud to be fair, i'm literally in a server room in my work right now looking at a load of old tech piled up that nobody dares get rid of. A lot of it I can't even find reference to on the internet -

Kick off 2 has just brought back some amazing memories! -
How do you play the game?
Brother Ben replied to El Payaso's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I play standard LLM, can't imagine any other way to be honest, my method mainly consists of: Avoid the feedback thread for my own sanity ☢ Blue Llama picks me a random semi pro/part time team 🦙 Use my own tactics & training 🏃♂️ Spend hours tinkering with both of the above and sorting out scouting 🔎 Only sign players within an hour drive of my club 🚗 forensically pour over the highlights of my friendlies in comprehensive 3D 🔎 make pages and pages of notes 📜 get sacked by Christmas 🎄😢 Apply for a new job ✏ Sign players from previous club(s) for irrational sentimental reasons 🤦♂️ Rinse and repeat until something sticks 🔁 -
My thought is that the processor just isn't up to scratch. Amount of RAM won't matter in that scenario. How does it run if you use literally just the Singapore league (just 9 teams) with a small database? also once in game put detail level down to minimum and go into inbox - social feed - manage and remove all subscriptions You can also move matchdays to Saturday and Wednesday in the preferences although do this before you start a new game.

Very High CPU Usage? Laggy?
Brother Ben replied to FMReccster's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
You could post your save game here and a few of us could test it to see how it performs for us? Its the only way to know if its an FM issue or an issue with your setup. edit:- or do the tests on the benchmarking thread and compare to similar setups @LawzE Has a similar setup to you. See if the times match. -
Problems with faces, but NOT newgens...
Brother Ben replied to steve.battisti's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Yeah its an annoying one, your only option really is to holiday for 20 seasons until its all newgens. As a side note Its a good challenge too as the players will have proper variable personalities
