#732761 Back in the game

I haven't played for the last couple of years, but recently I've been feeling the bug again and fancy getting back into it. I'd want to take Southend back into the league and up through.

As I've been out the game, can anyone recommend tactics that will work, training schedules and their best tips on youth development? I'm not sure about taking the plunge and giving up my life again when I'd kicked the habit. So should I get back in, and what do I need to know how to get back?

I've played CM/FM since about 98 so I'm experienced, but I seriously need some help here. I started up a nomad game and got appointed Man City manager on 3/July/2024.

On paper I have an amazing team and squad. But I seriously underachieve. I'm not nearly as good as I should be. I need some help. Anyone up for helping me out here?

As per the in game screen shots there are logos some that are working, some that aren't working. It seems to be only the main one that isn't. Any ideas? Preferences are right too. I'll try a different skin.

New skin makes no difference.

Southend's UID is 714, and it's in that folder. Can you confirm your preferences are as in that screenshot?

Try changing your skin to a different one then back again, and see if it works then.

@Bearded Shrimper, I need screenshots of the folders you've installed the logos in. Posting in-game screenshots doesn't really tell me anything, I'm afraid.

In the meantime, make sure your preferences are as outlined below:

There's the file path and the contents. I don't think it's that I installed wrong because it was fine before it went. Plug I have some logos, just not that one. I don't know what number Southend's is within the logopack so I can't find it to check that it's there and alright.

I deleted and started from scratch yesterday, but I'll do that again now.
I didn't realise the Palace kit was like that, fair play.

I tried it with a different logo pack. Still the same.

That folder looks fine, but how many files in total do you have in that folder?

Can I have a look directly inside the sortitoutsi metallic logo folder? It's saying it was modified yesterday evening, and that's where I'm suspecting you installed the pack correctly.

To be honest, at this stage it may be easier deleting the whole folder and downloading the whole pack again from scratch since you're a premium member

As I've already told you, the Palace kit is fine, don't fret about it, it's got nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Can I see inside the metallic logos folder? I suspect you didn't install the update pack correctly, but it's a bit hard to tell without looking inside it.

Nothing wrong with that, looks perfectly fine.

That's inside the folder. Is this alright? Otherwise let me know exactly what you need and I can send it.
With the Palace kit there seems to be black swirls across the middle, but maybe that's only on mine.

If its just the default ones try this.

Open Steam, right click on FM and go to properties, then local files and select 'verify integrity of game files'. That will re-install any files that may be missing.

that's fixed it, thanks.

Try deleting any skins you have downloaded and then re-download just the one you want to use. I'm not sure what you have done but somehow you have conflicting files which is causing everything to mess up

it's only weird with the default ones that are already on there. Just a case of waiting until the skins come out with the main release?

I put the Google earth images in the graphics folder, couldn't see to read anything. Now my skin is see-through and I can't see anything either. For the home and squad screens it has the start up in the dressing room. During a match it has the pitch:

If you click on the green rectangle in the top right, you will see a list of the files from this download that you've added to your game. As the text then says, you'll pick your team later. Click on advanced setup in the green rectangle in the bottom right to continue to the page where you can select what nations and divisions you want to load.

When here, click on the red rectangle to add which nations you want to load in your save game, then click "start game" in the bottom right for the game to create your game. At that point, you will be able to select the team you want to manage.

Hope this helps

I'm not getting the option to do this, the database box is greyed out. Is that a Beta thing?

Not at the game so not specific walk through sorry:
It doesn't appear to be available with the Personalised Instructions in the PI window, but it is, I think, available for the positional instructions. So you can have positions swapping during the game, but not specific players.

I've looked on player instructions and it isn't there. You say it's at the bottom of the player instructions but it isn't there for me. I have cross aim and cross frequency but that's it

When you start a new game, you should tick these files, otherwise you're deciding not to run them. Ignore the other files (which you won't have) and make sure the five files from this download are ticked. When you do that, you should have the correct club names

that's sorted it, sorry for me being blonde and that.

I've started a Test game so advice is much appreciated, cheers.

I can change names in the editor if necessary but I don't want to miss one and spoil the whole thing.

On that, when I start a new game do I need to select any of the custom database options?
I never had to do that before but they have appeared there now
