The best skins never last. It happened with Vitrex too. I wish SI made it easier for dummies like me to learn to make our own skins.
its not that difficult. I dont mean making one from scratch but just working with existing skins, editing them to what you want and combining different things you like. last year I never worked with xmls in my life but decided I wanted to try to make a skin. asked a lot questions here and to rick (andromeda) learned a good bit. now a year later I can do most things I couldn't because I put in the time to learn. I am far from an expert or even a good skinner but with a little help I can now do the things I had to ask about last year.
Just have to put in the time to learn is all. Experience is the best teacher. Now that I look back the worst thing anyone can do is tell you exactly how to fix a skin issue or do it for you because the second that same issue comes again, you will be asking again but if you learn how to fix it yourself with a little guidance , you will be able to do it in the future the same way

Ive always started the game with Brazilian starting time so that way people can get coaches changed or any transfers in before the first season starts. plus in every other version teams get a youth intake in march of 18 so just gives people a head start on things. it also enables people to play friendlies so the tactic they decide to run with is learned before the games start counting

I usually have 1 scout to scout opposition before each match. Other than that I don't bother. A Head of Youth Development with good personality is a very good idea!
thats a good idea about scouts, I usually get them and get annoyed at all the scouting reports I get

Not at all mate, just releasing my skin, then getting bombarded with small niggles and feature requests, when I specifically said I'm not taking them, made me just think "ugh **** this"
dont blame you, I have no clue why people make skins sometimes. people act like the skin was just made for them and in all honesty, the stuff they want they can do themselves with just a simple search and reading. There are tutorials all over the place here.

I've put my challenge in Turkey on a hold, as I didn't felt a connection to the team. Stayed up after getting promoted last season, and had a very good intake but it doesn't work for me at the moment.
Its the same way with me for the first couple of seasons. Once some of my young guys I train start playing I get into it a lot more

I will be posting a few once the game officially comes out. this year im working on a skin, im new to it so going to take up a lot of time so wont be taking requests but I plan on making a detailed guide on how you can do it and I will post it here.

XaW - Kettering Town - 2022/23
Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances
After surviving quite comfortably last season, the goal was the same, survive! Everything more were just a bonus for us. The youngsters are still developing, but we are hampered by being semi-pro. There are only 4 other (Darlington, FC United, Sutton Utd and Bromley) semi-pro teams in the division this season, so against all the professional teams we had our work cut out for us. We had a tough start where we only won one of our first 6 matches, but we played quite well even though we didn't pick up as many points as we wanted. In November and December we did better and picked up some much needed wins before hitting a poor form once again. Still, we were sitting comfortably mid-table, nowhere near the relegation spots, but also not close to the playoff spots. In the closing stages of the season we once again struggled winning only 2 of the last 10, but still finishing in a very decent 14th place. 2 spots above last year. The other 4 semi-pro teams? All relegated!
We had a takeover this season, but it didn't affect us much, other than a transfer embargo that I don't bother with since I'm only bringing in youth anyway. I did get my continental pro licence just as the season ended, so that's done at least. The board continue to refuse to go pro, but somehow the thought it be good to improve the youth facilities. Not that I mind improving them, I would rather go professional though.
In the FA Cup we had a bit of a cup run as we got all the way to the 4th round were we lost away to Tottenham. Something we got about £1M for! In the FA Trophy we got knocked out in the 2nd round away to Barnet.
We had an amazing youth intake. The three top ones are Martin Mahon 23c, Colin Cole 23f and Jacub Housham 23h.
Season | League | Position | FA Cup | Europe | Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019/20 | National League North | 9th | 1st round | N/A | Just of playoffs 2020/21 | National League North | 1st | 4th qual | N/A | Promoted as champions 2021/22 | National League | 16th | 1st round | N/A | Survived 2022/23 | National League | 14th | 4th round | N/A | Mid-table, good cup runcongrats, just making money at that level is a feat in itself.

Changing teams due to time constraints and managing in Brazil due to so many matches per year. With me making my skin this year, im not sure I will have the time for 80 matches per season. I wanted to manage in Europe and decided on France. Formally known as Marseille Consolat but now known as Athlético Marseille. Interestingly enough I had to decide between them and Seden and I decided to select these guys for a challenge however somehow they are picked to finish higher than sedan amazingly enough.

Youth Intake 2023
Finally an intake I'm genuinely thrilled about. Coming into the season, we had a real player at left back and an untagged one at right back. So to get 2 left backs and a right back in this intake is great. No striker of course, but apparently we don't need one now since Matti Lähde (03a) is scoring goals for fun even though his attribute don't look any better than when he scored 2 in the past 2 seasons. Previously, our full backs could either cross or tackle, but not both, now we have Ville Peltonen (05a) who's 6'3", can do both, and has a F. Pro personality. Joel Nykänen (05b) is unlucky to be behind Peltonen (05a) since he's a good player. He can also play striker apparently and bagged a hat trick in the Trialists vs U20 match. From experience, 19 aggression on a BWM means about 0.7 yellow cards a game, so Tommi Lekkermäki (05c) will be a good sub so he doesn't get sent off every game. Toni Jussila (05d) isn't as good as either of the LBs, but he can develop with that F. Pro personality and is still equal in ability to our current RB. Kim Sulonen (05e) isn't the greatest, but has that potential and, at this point, our squad is good enough to make any 5* potential player worth tagging.
looking good, nice job. year 2023 already, you are cranking them out!

I even think they have toned it down. I read somewhere they have kept something out of the game to avoid 80-100 game seasons or something...
are you sure they changed it, I just looked and im looking at around 70- 80 matches for my 2nd season with the league that has 38 matches and the three cups or whatever. two of which run like a mini league . Going to make it interesting lol

Season Review 2019
Season started out with the club winning the Campeonato Potiguar for the 32nd time in club History. Season started slow as we only had two wins in first seven games but went on a good run and finished the season in third place and advanced to the next stage/playoffs. While we didnt win the division we won the quarter final matches and was promoted to Campeonato Brasileiro Chevrolet Série B. I am a little leary about getting promoted in the first season but I am confident we can at least tread water until some of our young players progress. I will add to this post in the morning, its two AM and I am tired.

But then you'll have 17 other younglings to replace them on every position!
thats why I selected brazil, never used them in fm and ive been playing since 2004. decided to change it up, make it interesting. have a good size stadium for my level, 32k. What good is having excellent corporate facilities in game, I never looked that up

All that makes Brazil seem rather interesting for a youth save. Lots of competitions to give them playing time and the challenge of keeping them away from European clubs.
I think the real issue is going to be down the road when I have very good players and the European teams start sniffing around and poaching my guys
