Obilić actually won the title in 1998. They are also from Belgrade though. Good luck with this one, I'll be keeping an eye on the thread 😊

I run 141000 players (58 leagues) on an 8 year old PC and I have no issues. It takes about 2.5h to simulate a season in the first few, and tnen eventually moves out to about 4h a season once you cross 10 seasons. I do that test to know roughly how much processing time rach season takes. Between 2.5 and 4 hours is nothing in my opinion so I have no issue. EDIT: I just realised what you're aiming to set up is significantly bigger so ignore me 😅

Interesting, I never really explored the Your World option and how it affects finances. Good to have a better understanding of how it works, thanks for the info!

Bit the bullet and started a save in Real World, but without disabling the transfer window. I won't make any transfers myself in the first window, but this will at least allow me to do some business in winter if necessary, as I will still have a budget. I'm still curious how people are finding the new mode, and what strategy they've employed regarding their own transfers, if anyone has any thoughts or experiences.

He is in the pre-game editor, just not attached to any club. If you go into the editor, you can add him to AC Milan in whatever role you like, and he will be there when you start a new save. It's easier to do in the original database than the winter updated one, as in the winter updated one he is listed as a retired person, so no real info is actually there. You'd have to do a lot more work to create him.

I'm curious how people are finding Real World mode. I'm undecided whether to do a save in Real World or Original, and, if in Real World, whether to disable the first transfer window. I'm interested to know how people have found Real World with respect to dealing with important players who you know will leave before the end of the window (do you play them at all) and how often you might get one of your new signings completely unfit or injured when they do arrive. Also, if a new signing is a player you really don't need, especially if you're in great form, how do you deal with that if his agreed status is regular starter? Additionally, when disabling the first transfer window, I often find there are no budgets in the winter window either, and I'm interested to know how that affects people's game worlds and realism. I run around 60 leagues and would usually expect to see action during the winter. Any thoughts on whether Real World and in particular combined with disabling the first transfer window makes for a compelling save would be appreciated. I've only ever played Original.

I've also worked in football and personally know many coaches who refuse to do additional courses on top of the accreditation they already hold.

I've been playing on half a star for years and have no issues with my game speed. I guess it also depends on what you personally consider fast / slow.

Yeah, you need to put in little restrictions on how you play to bring it to some kind of realism. No pressing tactics, etc. I use DOF for transfers also. In FM23, I went and added 10CA to all zvezda players to make sure they were more consistent as well. Only recently started my FM24 save and definitely overachieving but it's early days, so still enjoying it. And also, I have never won the CL with Partizan even though I tried every time from CM03/04 until about FM2017, after which point I started focusing more on getting that realism of battling to win the league against zvezda.

I believe that is the case, yes. Just register 15 players, even though some will be U21.

Your World also has significantly more players than original. Both Real World and Your World have huge player numbers. Don't know why, but that seems to be the case. Stops me from usimg either, as my set up has 135k to 150k players, and both of those modes hit 200k which just kills the speed.

I'm looking forward to an Atletico Madrid save I have planned for the full release 🙌

I'm fine with their exclusion for now, as that is realistic and will likely go on for a year or two for sure. My buggest gripe is that I generally simulate about 10 to 12 years before I begin a save, and then aim to play that save for quite a few seasons. Which means that Russia is out for like 2 decades in my game world. And I have to always come up with some horrible long term mess in my head to justify the ongoing situation not being resolved for 20 years.

I normally load quite a few leagues from around the world, including Russia. Since their ban, I have continued to load the league, but it probably doesn't add so much value any more. In a journeyman save, I find it unlikely I would find myself there with no prospect of European football.

Yeah, that sounds fair, I think I will attempt FM24 and see how I go, and preferably wait until FM25 make the change. Appreciate the feedback!

Hi, first time posting in this part of the forum, so forgive me if this isn't an appropriate format or type of question. I currently play FM on a 7 year old PC, haven't really had any issues before, but am wondering how it compares to what others use, and more importantly, if it is maybe time to upgrade to be able to enjoy FM24 with a reasonable speed / graphics. Current PC has: i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40 GHz (8 CPUs) 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Not sure if the above is enough info to gauge the quality. I tend to run around 50 to 60 leagues with about 130k players. I play in 2D usually, with maybe goal replays in 3D. Would a better machine improve my FM24 performance much, or would I not see a big difference? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

If they're your players, you would be referring to them by first name 😎

You could actually start the save with an unemployed manager just so you get a 'save'. Then you can copy that 'save' to the other computer, and retire the manager and add a new manager at the club you want. Both of you will then literally have the same game world, from CA and PA of every player to any other elements which are slightly different in each 'save'. Exactly the same starting point.

Sounds like a reasonably promising start. I grew up in Mladenovac specifically, so I'm keen to see how your young midfielder develops!

Thought it would either be Bežanija or Zemun! Good luck, I hope you can break the duopoly up there. I have previously tried to do so with other Serbian teams and always exclusively choose clubs from Belgrade where I was born, but never Bežanija and certainly never youth only 😄

Really looking forward to this one!! Did I misunderstand the opening post, or do we not yet know which club you are taking over...?

Is this when you have the same squad selected? Tactic familiarity will vary with the actual 11 players in the team (though, I agree, shouldn't be that much). I believe when you have no team selected at all, it usually displays a minimum amount, from memory.

Are you able to clarify what you mean? Do you want to have a database with all players loaded?

Was it a league made by SI? I would assume not, so probably need to raise it with whoever made it.
