This is the first FM game (and i've played it since I can remember), this is the first version that keeps crashing mid game.
3 crashes in 2 days. All middle of a game.
Gutted. Pretty unplayable now because I've got no idea when it's going to do it.

I did have an issue with it at one point actually…
1) which skin? High res or lower res?
2) did you delete any older versions of the skin before moving over?
3) did you restart the game?

I will upload the version I used last time I was in game if I can’t ascertain what from this!
Sorry I was out.
I've used the Latest skin (didn't have it uploaded before as this is the first i've come across it.
I'm using the 1920 x 1080 version.
Both are in the folder, but that's the one i've loaded.
Yes I restarted game also just in case.
Thanks for responding.0 -

Yes - it’s in there! Thanks for the kind words!
Amazing!
For some reason it's not coming up in-game.
Is there something I would need to do to enable it?
I''m in love with the player profile page!0 -
I've been looking for the perfect skin for a long time, and this is about as close to it (The data analysis tabs on the player profiles are just perfect).
There is just one thing I personally and pray - is there an "Instant Result" button?
If there isn't, is there any way a non skinner can add it in?
Your work here is amazing @_Ben_0 -
@gam945
You sir, are a breath of fresh air and an absolute genius.
Really appreciate your work mate. Well done, genuinely. Top top work.1 -

@gam945 Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. Really pleased to hear that you are working on an update which will bypass the Excel tool ... I'm sure this will also be welcomed by everybody who uses Libreoffice instead of Excel
Same, tried it again, and tried the suggested potential fix but nothing.
Will wait for the bypass.0 -

Hi @gam945 When I try to extract either the squad or shortlist data into Excel I'm getting the following error message and wonder if you have any suggestions
I'm having the same issue it appears.
Can't wait to get started with this, this looks like amazing work @gam945

Competitions:
Campeonato Carioca: Serie D
The State Championships in Rio de Janeiro (state) have four divisions. As a newly formed club, we have bought our place in the bottom rung of the tournament ladder. Our maiden season sees us drawn into group B along with Miguel Couto, Riostrense, and Uniao de Marechal Hermes. I don't really know too much about my opponents, so it will be an opportunity for me to learn about the level of opposition in Rio's bottom tier. The board do not expect anything of us this season, other than to participate and try to keep our pride in tact. So I hope to enjoy the first experience of competitive football with Celtic (RJ).
The way to win promotion to Campeonato Carioca: Serie C is to get out of the group stage and then win the quarter final tie. All winners of the quarter finals are promoted to Serie C, so that's four teams in total. Even as a pretty average FM player, that sounds doable.
Pre-Regional
The Pre-Regional tournament is pretty tough for me to figure out. But I think this is how it works: there are two qualifying rounds. These are two-legged play-off ties. The teams who come through the qualifiers go into the Group Stage. From what I can gather, there are around sixteen groups of eight teams. The top two teams from each group qualify for the Brasileirao Serie-Regional. This is the tournament directly below Serie D in the main pyramid.
Once in the Brasileirao Serie-Regional there are sixteen groups of sixteen teams (one round of fixtures). Four teams from each group qualify for the first knockout round. The important point comes in the next round: the winners of the second knockout round qualify for the last sixteen, but also for next season's Brasileirao Serie-D.
The tournament then plays through to a final to decide the champions. But sixteen teams are promoted to Serie D and the chance to enter the Brazilian league structure proper. That is the real prize to play for!!!
I'm a Rangers fan but this seems like a really excellent idea - i'd love to know if you have continued this save?

You know what - I actually loved the idea of playing your best striker prospect at wing back! I'm in the process of converting a winger who can't dribble or score into a full back and love these kind of experiments!
Any luck of moving Kaio Jorge on yet? He's had a fairly non-descript career in my game - moving for Everton for €17m and then Fener for €10m:
Who are you best 'real' prospects? I will have a look at how they've progressed in my game.
Hi Ben,
I have just come across this skin which appears allows you to play the game without knowing the exact attributes of each play, more just their range.
Can I ask, how do you do this? It looks lovely and i've toyed with this previously on an FM 19 save but this looks even better?0 -
That's great to hear, looking forward to your decision! (Go with the heart...).
Let me know if you want any help with the excel in the future.0 -
Also, with regards to the random generating method, since you have graciously given up your time to write up your career, I thought I'd take the time out and pull together an excel version of a random generator for club and country that would do the same trick as what you do, although with a few short cuts (Like rounds, rather than one by one elimination) which should save a great deal of time.
Basically you list all the countries down the left hand side that you are willing to manage in (I have listed a random 20 at the moment and based it on that).
I then take it to 15 (Highlighted in yellow) using a Random number generator and then ranking those random numbers - the first 15 numbers by rank are the countries taken forward.
I then repeat this step for 6 then 3 then last 1.
If you follow the excel formulas, you can create your own similar with a larger number of countries. If not, if you are happy to forward me a list of all the countries on an excel, I will happily provide an excel to you with as many rounds as you want (i.e down to 40 from 51, then 30 from 40, then 20 from 30 and so on).
You can do this with clubs, you would just manually input all the clubs on the left hand side and go from there.
NOTE: Every time you do something on the spreadsheet and then click enter - new numbers are generated, so you can't do this round to round unfortunately, you would just click it once and then scroll through each round so an element of self discipline would be required. It would cut the time it takes down to a minimum, but you may like the suspense of eliminating 1 country at a time. Some people may like the outcome, some people may like the journey. I have tried to combine both but some things have to give.0 -
I comment very rarely on this site - but I just want to say that this is one of the most enjoyable FM careers I have ever read. You're writing skills and content (including the speed) have been thoroughly enjoyable.
I came across this thread yesterday and have been reading it ever since in 3 sittings, I'm actually very gutted that it's near the end, and that you have seem a little de-motivated by the last club.
You have inspired me personally to start a save off like this (With your random generator method) and go from there.
FWIW - I believe you are far from finished here. I'm was never convinced that Liverpool would have been your final club tbh. Juventus bored you as it was too easy, I think two more seasons with Liverpool would have resulted in that and you would have moved elsewhere eventually - so now you have the added benefit of an extra couple of years with your final club.
Whatever your final club is, and I sincerely hope you finish what you started; go with your heart. That's the only way you'll really enjoy the rest of this save. Forget your pros and cons, just go with your gut and heart and you'll end up with the right club. If you are out of a job for 4 months and a club comes in for you but you that just isn't sitting right and you have even just an inkling of doubt - leave it! You'll find somewhere and you have the potential to end this save with a bang!
Good luck.0 -
Literally, and without a single shadow of a doubt, THE best thread that has ever been written on this forum (and there has been a hell of a lot - a good share from yourself Cleon).
The detail regarding Ajax' youth system is literally incredible reading. The fact you included 20 odd drills is just an absolute bonus.
The detail you have provided within the actual game itself is incredible.
I am literally in awe, I don't hide it.
No but's, if's or maybe's - most definitely the best thread that has ever been written.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful thread.
I do not post much - but quite frankly, it would be rude not to tell you how good this is.

[FM23] THE CROWN OF ARAGON
in FM Career Updates
Posted
Matty, I had just discovered this post yesterday (it was linked to a youtube channel I was watching and referencekd/linked to your idea of Trequartista with "hold the ball up" instructions), and I honestly cannot express just how much I love your writing style and how much I enjoyed this game!
Not many, if any, saves has held my attention and I think it's largely to do with 2 things:
a) Your approach to the game - it has so many facets to it that I love, tactics, transfers, data - you truly immersed yourself and it was clear to the reader
b) Your writing style - it was so easy to read, generally sorted by months, with lots of photos and bite sized writing that really helped. Also with a dash of random articles that went more in depth into certain areas that excited you.
I have absolutely loved this!
Have you got any other bodies of work you think i'd enjoy, or a website etc?
