Hey guys. Just to warn that the 3D Kits Megapack and changes download links are not working. They stop downloading and crash in the middle or straight just show an error page. I hope it can be fixed soon.

I really don't know how many people cheat in these challenges and, apart from activating saves after each match (which it can be turned off in the preferences if you want), i don't know how to control it.

But believe me when I say that cheating in a “familiar” competition, just to get a free copy of FM25, IS VERY MISERABLE and I really hope you enjoy it.

I can expect unbelievable and really successful results from a few people (it's FM! What the hell!), but to win every game, starting from the bottom of the league after a disaster in the first round? very unlikely.

From my side, if I smell in the next challenge that someone has cheated, I will withdraw. No worries.

I agree with you. But a lot of people cheat. I once was part of a community where 20 people were playing online in a league. The host was constantly teasing everyone and winning everything. Until suddenly he got a youngster that was basically Lukaku, he cloned the player, gave him another name but forgot to lower the current ability and also forgot to take the international caps off xD A lot of us complained, he gave a lot of excuses but most let it slide. So I stayed on him. I started analysing his team thoroughly through my analysts. I put the max game analysis of his team a lot of games before our match. And I noticed his team was moral MAX, training MAX, Fitness MAX on every game including in the game previous to mine. This included players that had 0 games, MAX match fit and max moral. He was caught using FMRTE, he edited before every match to be top notch. I discovered that 3 or 4 of his friends were also into it, since only the host could cheat with FMRTE, he would create top youngsters for their teams and also make deals for good players for them for cheap. This was in an online community, where everybody was having fun and participating. It was a total lack of honesty and disrespect… after we discovered, they ended up admiting it and the community basically disbanded. But all of this to say… people do that for fun, disrespecting people and their time, why would they not make it here? lol
PS - I'm one of those who saves the game a lot (the game crashes a lot and I hate to waste time). Nothing was told about save limits, but for the future, the Moderators can add a limit of saves they consider plausible and no one can go off that limit. I'm cool with it.

I am a bit confused as to how you get a gold medal.  The rules state that you have to avoid relegation with a positive goal difference but does that mean a positive difference within the games you have played or the season overall?  If it is the season overall then there are folks on the leaderboard with gold medals but with a negative goal difference.  Can anyone clarify please?

1 - The gold medal has nothing to do with goals. It's the position you get in the League.
2 - The total points you make + GD is only going to be useful in terms of draw between 2 users. That's how I understand it.
3 - As for the goals, At least I am posting them as total goals of the team (not only under my management), since you also give the total points of the team overall.
4 - I can understand people getting GD positive, some people are good, but clearly there are people cheating. There is no way, not even with a bugged tactic, that you can win every game for an average of 4 goals or more in the last 12 games with Heracles in their situation. When you pick up the save, the teams moral and cohesion is in the sh*t and you don't get time to work it out… The game is not only about tactics and not even a broken bugged tactic can give you that unless the save was about Man City, and even then it would be difficult to accomplish.

The current leader has deleted his account without explanation 🤷‍♂️

 

We all know the explanation xD But he is not the only one. I understand it's difficult for you guys. People just can't be honest. Anyways, it is a lot of fun.

41 points, +14 GD

 

 

XDDDDDDDDDDD

 

Yup, that means that person scored 42 goals while giving away only 2 in 12 games with every game won.
It's not even unlikely, it is plain cheating, since at the start of the save, the team has horrible Classification stats + Team morale and cohesion. 
He doesn't even fake he is using FMRTE to fix these issues on the software, and the worst part is that he got approved in front of most people. We already know the final winner. I'll keep playing for the fun of it, but it's sad af.

How the hell did someone achieve 41 points without abusing save/load? It means winning 100% of the games. Sounds… unlikely.

 

Yes a lot of people cheating, I noticed in the first save. But whatever. I'm doing it for fun. But I play manager games since Elifoot. And there is no way some of the results shown are done without cheating. And I'm not even saying Load/Reload, I'm talking more about Software to enhance various aspects of the team.

Out of interest (im not accusing you of cheating at all), how come you saved 30 times in the 3 hours it took you to complete the challenge? do you have autosave on alot?

 

FM crashes a lot, i have weekly save and i also save manually after games. I actually saved a lot more than 30 times lol

How did you manage to complete the challenge in just 3 hours and a bit? I am not able to do this after 20 hours... My games are very slow due to breaks between days and stuff like that 🤦‍♂️


It's a challenge, I'm not dedicated like in a normal save.
I basically fired all the staff, brought in the best ones i could and automated everything. Game speed at max and vacations between games. When I want to fast forward a save, this is usually how I play, specially playing with friends online.
Even when I play normally I play a full season in half a day, not fully dedicated 100% in front of the game. The days pass even faster since the database in this one was small.
PS - Having a 24 core processor helps. xD

@Footygamer 
I'm not sure it was a mistake, but I think so. My GD in the league was 20, not 30.

Hi.

To put it simply, this year I had modified the tree structure of the folders for more ease and time savings for me (missing sorely): The logos are classified by continent and no longer by country.

And in the same logic of saving time but also making it easier for users to see what has been added/modified with the update, I created a separate folder.

In fact, if you follow the installation instructions explained on the official site (I'll put the image here after), there is an installation method to follow, simpler than usual and which I have set up since the beginning of the TCM, i.e. 10 years: You must not go to find or create the graphics folder then the logos (and therefore do as you did, copy/paste the "logos" folder in the pack in place), but simply copy/paste the "graphics" folder which is pre-created in all the packs I offer.

You will therefore have to find an "update" folder in the "logo" folder which is placed before the various "Continents" folders. The game will naturally look for the files that are first in alphabetical order (even if the file appears in several config files) and therefore will prioritize the update folder. But I see that between the bad youtube tutorials and the habits of going to create or move the "logos" folders this is a problem for some, and so next year, I will start again on folders by country and with updates "classics" which will remove the old logos... If I have time...

 

Thank you very much for this explanation. I actually think it's better in the way you did it. The thing is many others I tried don't do it that way, that's why I was confused.

Hey guys, I have a doubt that never happened to me before and I've been playing FM since the 1st came out…
I always use TCM logos and this never happened to me. 
So here's the issue:
Everytime there is an update, being it logos, faces, etc… What I do is I smash and I replace the older files with the new ones, which means, I use the updated files and replace the original pack ones. This worked everytime, but in this FM somehow it's not working… So what I think is, when I smash the older files, the config file is smashed as well, so there is no config file for the older files… But this is only happening to the TCM logos, it doesn't happen with faces, for example.
So can you describe me, if you know, how this works? Do I have to paste the new update files in a separate folder, not replacing the older files? And if so, how does the game interpret the newer files by being newer if they exist in both config files, older and update?
Thank you for your time, I really just want to understand how it works so I can solve this issues, and maybe to help other people that have no idea whats is going on.
Edit: I'm trying soritoutsis cutout facepack, and the updates, for example, ask to replace the older files. Will this work? Or will it as well, replace the older config files?
