Small database.
It says my game speed is 2 stars but I'm hoping as I progress and lose the need for the smaller divisions I can speed it up.
Would be nice if there was an option to apply for jobs anywhere in the world and only have the leagues activated as playable once you accept. Then you wouldn't have to bog down your game.
I have never had one like it! But at least it is something different.That really is a quality save.
Money can go a bit crazy, but then it does in real life. There are a few glitches ilower divisions and things and sometimes the AÍ can do a number on a squad, but I don’t get this many hours out of any other videogame.I was thinking whether to get this game. Reading through some of this thread, it seems very unrealistic though
I mean more the number of points people are getting, how many goals per game certain players are scoring, etc rather than the money side.Money can go a bit crazy, but then it does in real life.

You always get those saves you really love and then you put it away for a while and come back and do it all over again.
It really is great value for the hours you get out of it.
I am complaining but it’s only because I am so into the save/journey!
Thats only the very top teams with the best players though.I mean more the number of points people are getting, how many goals per game certain players are scoring, etc rather than the money side.
Well just glad they fixed the stupid near corner exploit. Will certainly lessen the effectiveness of my tactic but hey I'm actually glad because this way I'm not tempted to cheese it. Yeah I know I'm so weak willed but damn I can't resist a good exploit tactic. Just like strikerless last year, and yes I'm a bit ashamed of myself.Don't think that changes too much for me, depending on the other match engine fixes.
They'll probably still be pretty strong like they were last year. I just use mixed corners now and move a few players about from the default, still end up with 9-10 goals from corners over a season.Well just glad they fixed the stupid near corner exploit.

Never really wanted my 5ft7 left back up for corners tbh.I dont think I've ever went in the set piece editor and tried to change anything. Always pretty much left all the set pieces as standard because I didn't want to look up any exploits, but also couldn't be arsed making a setup myself (as you'd have to run it for so long to see if it works or not).
On paper he definitely looks great, his workrate is amazing, I really wanna buy him one day for one of my pressing tactics.Lautaro Martinez is ridiculously good. 24 goals in 18 league games for me so far. Absolute joke and firing me to the title.
Had the same problem in my Barca save. Spain is crazy. Lenglet, still 3 years on contract, wants a new one. Demands 500k pw and to be a star player. My reaction:Ffs that guy that Real Madrid bought from Fiorentina in between me quitting Fiorentina and taking over Real Madrid had a clause in his contract that they're raising his wage from 250k per week to 600k per week after 5 international appearances. What the feck. They spend 100m on this mediocre player, and then give him a hidden 600k contract? I'm fecked here
The thing is that everyone below starter level (in contract) is paid pretty much less than 100k. And then suddenly every starter/important player demands 300k, star players demand 500k. And then this guy who wasn't even a starter for me in Fiorentina ahead of Calvin Stengs is about to get 600k a week after a 100m transfer. Genuinely confused but won't be able to sell him at all after his next international where he gets bumped up. If i didnt feel like it would ruin my save I'd be tempted to add a manager to take over Italy, make sure he doesn't get called up in November and then sell him off in January while he's only on 250kHad the same problem in my Barca save.

What is this guy smoking? Got immediately transfer listed.
this is something they’ve never fixed and it pisses me off. Players randomly want 200k just because the best players are even though they are nowhere near that level.The thing is that everyone below starter level (in contract) is paid pretty much less than 100k.

that’s half of my goalsI don't know if it is just Martinez or all strikers but the pass ball into space combined with a striker that chips the ball over the keeper is broken.
Well.. This happens in real life as well right? Players tend to overestimate themselves and/or want to get the most out of it.. They arent looking for the reasonable deal...this is something they’ve never fixed and it pisses me off.

A whole squad of players wanting 200k?Well.. This happens in real life as well right? Players tend to overestimate themselves and/or want to get the most out of it.. They arent looking for the reasonable deal...
Haha ok, I missed it was about the whole squad.. That exhorbitant...A whole squad of players wanting 200k?
51 goals by Martinez, my word.
I broke the league.
Yeah, I think I have figured out how to exploit the game now which sucks because now it's hard to not do it.51 goals by Martinez, my word.
Also nice to see that Rome is becoming a place where United can ship off their unwanted players, 22 goals from Martial though, not too shabby.
If you check under game status you can see what match engine version you are currently playing on. If it's 22.3.00 it's the new one.We've scored 5 goals in our first 3 games of the season. My new wonderkid CB has scored 4 of them, all at the near post, all from corners. The 5th was a rebound after he hit the bar.
I don't think this new patch has come into effect for us yet.
I think SI made buying in January much harder by introducing this "not prepared to sell in January" thing, which made prices during that window explode.January 2026 with Madrid now... its a bit annoying. Every single "good" player us pretty much 200m and 500k per week. I can't buy anyone unless they are mid table quality. I don't know if this is just a January window thing, but it feels impossible to buy anyone of sufficient quality, even with Real Madrid. Resorting to loans of old guys like a 33 year old Raphael Guerreiro to provide depth after I cleared Alaba and Casemiro off the wage bill. Genuinely won't know where to look next if the summer window is the same. It's always fun using a smaller club as you build through the cheap gems... but it seems to be impossible to go any other route anyway even if you have a big club.
It pains me in my save when I overperform with a team and then I see them struggling in the next season and they dismantle my squad.Won La Liga with Atletico. Lost out in the CL last 16 and also the final of the Copa Del Rey though.
I'm happy to stay another season but also on the lookout for another club again. I think I'm at the financially poorest 5 star team and now I'm well traveled I will happily move to the Prem and try to build a dynasty. I've enjoyed journeymanning but it's sad when I build a good squad and then immediately leave it. I might try and stay at a club for 5-6 years and then perhaps start moving around again.
