#551323 Spanish B Team Players Not Playing
Sheriff Skacel
If the manager is playing legitimate players rather than the ones you want then just sell the players he chooses to play.

#419954 Lower League Managing, Attendance,Finances Problem
Sheriff Skacel
- Arrange friendlies to purely make money, don't worry so much about player fitness
- Try and balance your player contracts more towards bonuses (promotion bonus, appearance fees, etc) rather than weekly wages
- Review all of your players bonuses (do some players have an annual wage rise? do some have too high of an appearance fee?)
- Make use of free loan signings from big clubs
- Get a senior affiliate (free players and affiliate fee)
- Are you spending too much on junior coaching? (personally I always like to spend a lot on this as it always pays off down the line, but if you don't plan on staying for a long time then look to cut it)
- Look to cut down on your staff levels, at that level you only really need an ast man, 1 coach, 1 scout and 1 physio. Really strip back, only go for more staff if you can justify the wages
- Try and snap up U21s who have been released, you can often sell them on to lower league clubs after only a season or two. The fees might be small but you have to accept that at the start you will have a high squad turnover. Every player has a price, you are better off cashing in for something rather than having an unhappy player / losing them on a free
- Finally, it will take you 2 or 3 seasons to get the club how you would like it financially. You've probably inherited a less than stellar situation so it will take time for your to redo contracts, sort the staff, bring in cheap players, etc

#419114 Crash dumps
Sheriff Skacel
The amount of players in the database shouldn't be the issue, unless you're using an add-on that will force the game to load a Huge DB (no idea if they still make those add-ons, but in the past when they used to it would sometimes cause crash dumps)

#418976 I am getting fired for "failing a philosophy" that was never there. Anyone know why? Screenshots included

#418975 Anyone know why this is happening?
Sheriff Skacel
If it doesn't, then reinstall the game or ask someone if they'll upload the FM font files for you to manually install. Try the skin change / reinstall game first though

#418770 Lost ability to play a role?
Sheriff Skacel
But as time goes on and his decline continues, if you are struggling to break a team down he won't be your man because of his poor OTB and lack of physical stats.

Give her a chance to run, it might sort itself out, if not you could try venturing into international management to at least keep the save alive
#417719 My question
Sheriff Skacel
1. Switching between windowed / full screen to see if its one of those settings causing it to happen
2. Have a look at the Steam settings and the Steam overlay stuff. The only programs that I can think of that could be causing this are Steam and maybe something related to Windows updates
Or maybe your windows + D keys are stuck, who can say

Try totally removing the megapack and seeing if that stops saves corrupting

I like the looks of this, a very different career indeed. Is there any road into continental competition at all?

#416668 FM 18 real life manager
Sheriff Skacel
As Mons said, your only option is to create a manager with the basic correct things and then use an in-game editor to add the specifics (caps/goals for example) and also edit the stats and reputation to match what the real manager has in FM.
#416246 Real Madrid tactic
Sheriff Skacel
It could be as easy as switching from Attacking to Control, a Control setting will give your play less of a rush feel to it. Keep your main tactic and try having a second tactic with the same formation/roles but with Control/Fluid and then also have a third tactic with the same formation/roles and with Standard/Fluid. I've found that having a Standard mentality can help you control the games better.
Losing back to back and the close victories could actually be a mentality thing. Try and be a lot more aggressive in your team talks, if you are heading into a game try Aggressive/Assertive, if you are drawing, losing or only winning by one goal try and be Aggressive and ask for more. If you are two goals clear I've found it better if you just say nothing and let the players play.
Pre-season is the perfect time to play with the tactic, you don't want to be heading into the season still tweaking things as you'll end up becoming frustrated and changing things for the sake of it.

Also, I fully expect Ciaran Clark to take Paolo Maldini's Serie A appearance record. A natural heir to his throne.
#416079 High youth setup costs?
Sheriff Skacel
If clubs are lowballing you then force in a friendly and a 50% sell on as a part of the deal. Most of the time the youngsters you sell won't kick on anyways and will just get released, but sometimes you'll land a nice little windfall down the line if the player moves on again.
#416022 High youth setup costs?
Sheriff Skacel
Personally I'd take the short term hit for the long term benefit. Give the youth more of a chance (start the players with 4+ star PA, keep the 2+ star PA around for backups), sprinkle in some 30+ year olds with decent Determination for mentoring, Decisions, Leadership, etc)
All you need is a few players to come through and as you creep up the leagues you'll be able to cash in and then reinvest the money back into your facilities for the next batch.
#415906 Player search issue - no players interested in transfer
Sheriff Skacel
Who have you got handling your Player Search Advice on the Responsibilities screen? (if its a board member, change it to a scout)
Do any players appear when you untick the interested in Transfer option?
#415806 How to defend crosses?
Sheriff Skacel
1. Am I playing too attacking?
2. Am I exposing my fullbacks due to not playing wingers? (and if I am, am I seeing the attacking benefits?)
3. Are my fullbacks lacking in pace / positioning and getting caught out?
4. Do my CBs have good enough anticipation, bravery, positioning and jumping?
5. Should I be adding a new squad screen view to incorporate more stats? (headers won %, mistakes leading to goals, interceptions, headers /90, etc)
Don't overcomplicate the tactics, keep it simple and focus more on individuals. If you can't bring in better players then look to cover some of your weaker areas by either protecting players (playing a high team/work rate winger in front of a weak fullback if the issue is getting double teamed down the wings, asking the fullbacks to do less if the issue is too many balls coming into the box, playing a deeper DMC to help the CBs out).
FM is a numbers game, either your tactics don't suit your players or you've just bought mentally weak players who don't have the testicular fortitude to deal with the likes of Jan Koller.
