The FM24 Youth Academy Challenge
MichaelNevo replied to darren1983's topic in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments
Crewe United - Season Two Season two brought huge changes to the squad as I removed almost every single original player, leaving only the most talented ones to help stabilise the squad for the upcoming season. We had a very rocky first half of the season, but as the players improved, so did our fortunes. We moved from being relegation contenders to a surprising 3rd place finish, just 1 point behind 2nd and 1st place! Jack Sharvin was the shining light for much of the season, but the emergence of 15 year old Packie Courtney who scored an amazing hatrick on his debut against Warrenpoint, now points to the potential exit of Jack Sharvin. With our second intake, we've found ourselves with a nice healthy squad to take on season 3! I'm really looking forward to season 3 with Packie Courtney leading the line! Youth Candidates & Youth Intake My risk paid off in giving youth the chance straight from the off and I feel this second intake will be the nail in the coffin for all originals of the squad! Packie Courtney is obviously going to be the star moving forward, but I'm delighted that we have someone like Tom Reid as well. I'm very pleased overall with the intake as it adds depth to the squad. 3 Top Rated Youth Players & Transfers In + Out Unlike last season, we have two very special talents from this years intake, but the standout star as we already know is Packie Courtney! What an absolute beast of a player! League Table & Finances Thankfully the finances didn't get worse, but ended the season slightly better. What they thought... -
I once played in Belgium, starting in the lower leagues and I enjoyed that save a lot, maybe give that a try?

There's a few things in game that seem to be locked behind success with the club. This might be one of them.

The most unbelievable match ever?

I have to admit, I was expecting something a little more unbelievable, I feel let down... -
FM 25 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
MichaelNevo replied to OmnissiahMasteR's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I'm not one of those people being triggered because I understand its not a finished game, it's as you say "screenshots". I'd rather judge the finished article personally. I only quoted you because I felt you didn't understand what is was that they'd put put there. -
When will si releases news from the FM 25?
MichaelNevo replied to deltasfd11's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Just throwing my thoughts out there, but maybe they're looking to broaden their target audience? It would be foolish to think every FM player is male, not that im insinuating those are your thoughts. Personally it doesn't interest me, but you can't deny the growth of the women's game in recent years, so again it would be foolish for SI to overlook that, which they haven't. -
FM 25 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
MichaelNevo replied to OmnissiahMasteR's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I'd consider a leak as something that they didn't want to get out, where as this has been intentionally put out there for people to look at. Here is a direct quote from the information we were given... Today, however, I want to tell you about Football Manager 25 [PC/Mac], Football Manager 25 Console [Xbox One/S/X & PlayStation 5]. More news on Football Manager 25 Touch and Football Manager 25 Mobile will follow later in the cycle. -
FM 25 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
MichaelNevo replied to OmnissiahMasteR's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
If you read properly, they explained why they removed certain features from fm25 and it makes sense. It would be very silly to assume that they would make the game cheaper... they won't have taken the decision lightly and if it allows time to work on more important stuff, personally I welcome the decision. -
FM 25 DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
MichaelNevo replied to OmnissiahMasteR's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Definitely wrong thread, but just so you're aware, not everything is about the tactic you use, so it most probably does make sense if that's all you're focused on. -
Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Don't get too excited about Aston villa, Leicester City should be a very good example of what to expect. Ironically Leicester had a very pacy player at the time. -
Set-up "day-by-day" career
MichaelNevo replied to Andrew Marines's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Yeah definitely, you'd need to immerse yourself into every scrap of detail the game has to offer, so you feel like you're really managing the club properly, which would include proper use of the scouting system. -
Error setting up cup tree
MichaelNevo replied to Grockoow's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
No worries, I just know that you're much more likely to find help there and the mods will probably either close this thread or move it. -

You'd be better off asking in the editors forum -
Set-up "day-by-day" career
MichaelNevo replied to Andrew Marines's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I'd be amazed if you found anyone who actually stuck to doing this kind of save. I can see it being fun to an extent if you followed the same team in real life and you had the real fixtures, but to go any further than season 1 would be in my eyes really boring. Good luck though. -

No problem, I just thought that because you had quoted me. You're probably right though, it's best left at that, back on topic -
Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I didnt criticise your views... why would you assume this? I was merely pointing out that each individual has different needs to enjoy something and you are right as well about the approach and that is why I said it would probably never happen. Just because I like the idea of something, that doesn't mean that my idea is the right approach. -
Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
It does exist in some forms, but it probably won't ever happen in a proper way on football manager. In other games there are difficulty levels to the AI and that would satisfy the needs for all to escape from reality how they want to escape. One person's escape isn't another person's escape because we're all different. However, for now we have to create our own difficulty levels in how we play the game. -
The FM24 Youth Academy Challenge

How do you guys play, do you watch every single game or do you sim through at a quicker pace and watch some, or just sim everything? -

Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
As I said, take your attitude somewhere else. Everybody has the right to post here just as much as you do. If I want to run experiments and share it with people, who are you to tell me otherwise. I see you in many threads with the same attitude, like you're above everyone here. Feel free to quote me again but just know you will be wasting your time as I won't be replying further. -
Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I never once asked SI to use my test. I did the tests through my own curiosity to see what would actually happen and decided to share it with others, so take your attitude somewhere else. -
Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I already agreed that the original test was too influenced. The test that we are now talking about was compiled of player chosen totally at random, regardless of their physicals. I used the training function in game to increase their physicals. The players in question could have been considered unrealistic if they were actually improving as their PA was relatively high, but considering they barely improved at all and most only improved slightly in the first season, I'd argue that it's not unrealistic and that is why I would say that this can be done without the use of an editor. -

MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
The test itself - unrealistic (through the use of an editor) The test itself - can also be replicated in a realistic manner Correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying no human would ever assemble a team of pacey players? -
Zealand's "FM is broken video"
MichaelNevo replied to jcafcwbb's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
The only thing it would prove is the doubters wrong, I have to decide whether I care enough to do that and I probably don't. Doubters will be doubters, they will be sceptical because it doesn't fit their narrative and they will be stubborn, so it's pretty much pointless. I never really looked into it much as my interest in the game faltered in recent years, whilst before that I just wanted to play, but I'm once again enjoying FM since FM24 was released and these things peak my interest more than before. -

Crewe United - Season One I couldn't have hoped for much more for season one, having very mixed results all round, but better than expected. Our performances in the cup competitions left much to be desired, but survival in the league was of utmost importance. As I was told by a fellow Crewe United manager (neo_geo) Jack Sharvin was going to be my survival tool and he definitely proved as much. Youth Candidates & Youth Intake As previously posted, our upcoming youth intake was being classed as a real golden age, something which was a big surprise for me and very good news for the challenge ahead. The idea for the coming season will be to take the plunge and remove most of the normal players, except the select few who performed well such as Jack Sharvin. This will allow the youth prospects to show me what they're made of and despite the obvious risks, I feel this is the whole point of a save like this. 3 Top Rated Youth Players & Transfers In + Out There's nothing special here, but with them being touted as having top potential, it will be good to see how they grow! League Table & Finances The finances are a concern and I can't see how they will get any better in the short term. The chairman is looking to sell which is a concern as well, especially considering one of the recent news articles where it was mentioned the person coming in would look to replace me! Thankfully that takeover went to sea and never came back! What they thought...
