JamieStevenson Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Now that we've got the full game, I'll just be starting as us again and hopefully I'll do a bit better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Changed my mind, I'm going to play a quick Celtic save just to get more used to the game before I go back to try and bring glory to the Pars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 In my beta save which I've continued playing on the full version, I'm back in the Championship with Clyde after 2 seasons (won play offs in league 2 then league 1 title) with Inverness and Dundee Utd bypassing me and now playing their trade in League 1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my longer saves had Queens Park in the top flight and Dundee relegated out the leagues, all within 20 years of starting the save. Started a save with Hamburg, should be easy enough first season to ease me into the new match engine, as it's always a huge jump from the beta. Then a proper challenge of trying to catch the group of teams behind Bayern, who'll hopefully be a monster a few seasons in, and take a while to catch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Jim McIntyre embracing the madness. No doubt this signing will actually work out for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 For a bit of fun I signed 39 year old Diego Forlan as back up. He started the first CL qualifier, scored and got a 9.3 rating. Chuffed for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Aberdeen are massively overrated in this game. Some of their players attributes are very questionable. Edited November 2, 2018 by Eoin Doyle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Interesting to note that my Celtic team haven't had to go away in the cup this season... I started the first half of the season with Edouard, Griffiths & Forlan all up front together. Sadly Forlan has fallen off a bit and I'm now resorting to Edouard up top on his own. We're loaded after selling Tierney and Rogic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Looking forward to starting a proper save now the real game is out. Last season I went for a National League north team, with no loyalties, and just hoored my way to the top. Probably one of my most enjoyable saves to date despite it being a bit of a slog at first. My years at Derby being a particular highlight. Started a Leverkusen save in the beta and it just confirmed that I find it boring starting off at a bigger team, barely touched it after the first few days. One thing I did notice from the beta was how hard it was to keep players happy. Even if I was starting them in Europe and cup games, they'd hand in a transfer request if they missed a handful of league games. I was rotating ny squad frequently in the league as well so it's not like they were completely frozen out. I think I got about a quarter of the way into the season and had 4 fairly regular first teamers wanting to leave due to lack of game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Just started my first save, chose Ayr as they have a good young team. So far I am liking the new tactics generator, haven't gotten stuck in to the training section yet although in previous versions I usually delegated most of the training to my staff as it's a bit too complicated. I don't know if it's just my team and the games I have played but the refs seem to be very red card happy! I have played 4 friendlies (including an intra-team friendly) and 1 League Cup game and there have been 4 red cards in the 5 games! Including two games where someone was sent off in the first 10 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Started a new save with Celtic to see how the game played (I missed FM18) and beat Tallin 13-0 in my first game then went the first three months winning every game by some quite large scorelines. So, happy that I've got to grips with the game, I decided to make a Scottish pyramid. In retrospect I shoulda made the South of Scotland league a standalone league under the Lowland League and put the Clydeside teams in with the Ayrshire/Lanarkshire lot as a West of Scotland league but I aint overly fussed about that. Currently holidaying through to test it but looks good. Will make a few changes and add in awards for the lower leagues when I aint busy but that will need to wait til next week. Also had to edit in about half a dozen amateur teams to get the numbers right for Fife/Central so if anyone was desperate to play a game as Stein Thistle yer in luck Edited November 2, 2018 by AsimButtHitsASix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that was recognised as a bug, along with half your squad thinking that your "midfield lacks depth" no matter what you do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Started my usual Saints league and was given a budget of £100k and 5 grand a week spare in wages which I was pretty happy with. I've noticed this year more than any other that the money given out doesn't get you very far! I'm trying to find a centre mid (having signed Tony Ralston on loan) and I'm struggling to find anyone even half way decent with the money I have. Also trying to work out the most effective way to scout players as that seems to have been modified too. I've played my first league cup match (ended up beating Stirling 5-1 after falling behind early and being 1-0 down at half time). I like the look of the tactics and training screens and the new look diary etc too. Early days but I must admit that the game feels a little more difficult this year which can only be a good thing. I'm impressed - always feel new FMs are quite 'samey' but this feels like it has more wee bits and pieces to try and figure out than usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort William vs Tottenham and shit like that, teams raking in 100k for getting papped out in the first round. This doesn't include a crazy, unseeded British Cup thing, does it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Strong mix of youth and experience in the team now. We've still got £10M or so left but I think I'm done recruiting for this season. Hoping my new January signings kick on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
