    Playing as NUJ they look good on paper. 4-4-1 season so far (using tactic's on steam :ninja:).

    Player: "I'm not getting first team football and I want to leave"
    Me: "You weren't good enough last time I played you which is why you're not in the team"
    Player: "I don't care, I want to leave"
    Me: "Fine, I'll let you leave. Why don't you terminate your contract?"
    Player: "I can't believe you're trying to force me out of the club."

    Every. Fucking. Time.

    Haha, yes. Or telling them to STFU when they want to leave, them apologising, then having a paddy when you change your mind and list them a few days later.

    Free for a few days on Steam.

    My favourite:

    Player: "The squad isn't strong enough"
    Me: "Okay I'll make a few signings"
    *two £20m signings later"
    Player: "Why haven't you even tried to improve the squad? I want to leave"

    Also seems to be on sale too ?

    Yeah, if it's on a free weekend there'll be some sort of discount on

    Fungus PM'd me the other day about a somewhere cheap to buy it so hopefully he spots it.
     
  9. Furball G Furball

    At least they've fixed it so players recognise when you've tried to sell them. I remember falling out with Kagawa in FM12 because he wanted a move, I promised to let him go and no-one wanted to buy him.

    Made it through to the FA Trophy semis with Brentwood.

    Gateshead just defeated Chester in the other Semi 4 - 0. Nothing odd there apart from the fact:

    Gateshead 4 - 0 Chester
    M Pattison (pen 6, pen 22, pen 47, pen 49)

    Seemed a little bizarre to me.

    Made it through the other semi against Wrexham on Penalties (2 - 1 home leg, 1 - 0 away leg).

    The penalties scoreline was 23 - 22. Now that's what I call a shootout!

    Pretty sure those high scoring shootouts are a reported bug. Regardless would be awesome to watch :p

    It can happen in RL tbh.
     
  14. Rocks DN Boland

    Starting to see a trend in the last five games...

    FMD. Sold Sturridge to Madrid for 61M and they dropped him straight to Castilla. Now he asked for a transfer and is available for 32M 6 months later. So Strange. Has not played one competeitve game for them yet :laugh:
     
  17. SmellyStuff MP Chung

    Classic Real.
     
  18. Eds E Ames

    The AI is so, so bad at running the transfers for big clubs. Real & PSG in particular seem to regularly have 200-300k p/w salary players in their reserves.

    Taken over Arsenal in my game (its now 2022). They'd signed Origi for £60m after he'd had a couple of good seasons at QPR, played him mainly as a sub first year, barely that 2nd, then sold him to Southampton for £8m just before I took over. He's scored 15 in 20 for Soton, and I'm left with one striker (Lukaku), 2 promising youngsters not ready for the first team, and a transfer budget of £6m as they spunked £100m in the summer on shit not good enough for the first team

    Its a very frustrating part of the game and stops me playing for more than 5 seasons because the difficulty curve tails off really quickly
