Is FM a time consuming game? If you really get into the gritty parts of it, it can suck your life away but they created a Football Manager Classic mode which streamlines the experience for people who don't have the time to nail all the aspects

I didnt buy the new one. I use the 2014 one with the sergon update which not only updates the squads for this season but the guys also updated the kits to this seasons. The away kit looks quite good on it.

Juan Agudelo has dissapeared from my game, he was in it the first few seasons not anymore Do you mean in separate saves, or just after a few years he disappeared? If its the first, then its probably due to him reverting back into the American database in one of the updates. If its the latter, then he must have just retired either due to a bad injury or not being able to find a club. However, he had a fairly substantial -8 Potential Ability, which meant given game time, the right training and depending on the roll of the dice you could have had a player easily good enough for top 4 sides on your hands. Shenton is currently in at -7 and N'Goy & Bachmann have decent potentials as well.

Shenton is currently in at -7 and N'Goy & Bachmann have decent potentials as well. Dissapeared after a few seasons same save, Shenton never fulfilled his potential for me, I loaned him out for 2 seasons then brought him into my squad for Europa League and he made about 10-12 appearances but he just wasn't developing as I'd like to so I sold him to Wigan with a 50% sell on clause. N'Goy on the other hand shoots up in value and his finishing and composure increase rapidly along with his pace and acceleration hitting 20

Got this for christmas. Started an unemployed file yesterday and got the job at Deinze in the Belgian third division A (I have every league loaded but ideally wanted an Eastern European club). The playoffs seem weird. After ten games, top place gets a playoff place. After 22 games, same again and the same again for second place at the end of the season (top gets automatic). They go into the playoffs along with the equivalent three from group b and third from bottom from division two to form a 7 team play offs. Not sure how that works but does anyone else know of any weird rules like this one?

I dont know if this is because he hates me, but does begovic request a transfer every time you start a game for anyone else? Selling him leads to absolute uproar in the dressing room and an instant lack of confidence in me by the board, I can't bloody win..not a clue what to do, don't play as anyone else until I've done a big stoke game usually (sad act)

Bego the same for me. Wants to go to Napoli. Told him he's going nowhere as I'm a strict mother fucker then crouch and Marc Wilson came to me saying its a disgrace I'm not letting him develope his carear and play champions league football. Told them 2 who's boss , Wilson is now sat in reserves and will get transferred to a shit club for gobbing off at me.

I wish I could be this dominant in real life

If Ryan goes then have a look at Dede 26 year old Brazilian fella. valued at 5Mil Tacking and marking 15 bravery, determination , work rate 16 jumping ability 18
Similar stats to Ryan
im doing al-right with stoke at the moment.
Went in with the firm disciplined approach. at the beginning where you select your attributes i took adaptability to 1 as thats only the ability for me to adapt in a foreign country ( ill stay in UK ). with the extra attributes i could spare i used for discipline ( the higher disciplined yo are the less shit you get from your players)
Im looking to offload our older players and buy younger players that i believe will turn out good. granted ive had alook on the FM15 forum for any recommendations.
Sold the following players to reduce the wage bill and because of their age. Sorro Whelan Walters Crouch (Last year of contract and age) Ireland (worth 5M and kept missing training and arguing because i kept Bego + last year of contract) Shotton already going derby
Following players are listed sidwell wilko palacios shea Odemwingie Charlie Adam (worth 7.5m)
Players In
Walcott 8M (Fans dont like him because he comes from a rival club) Fellaini (Loan)
(Still working on players in) looking at changing some staff about aswell.

Éder Álvarez Balanta £6m Gino Peruzzi £5.25m Luca Boye £3.5m Sergio Roberto loan
These are all the signings I made first season, sold Wilson, Whelan, Palacios, Wilkonson & Shea to get the funds.
Finished 9th but managed to win the FA Cup, didn't play a single premiership team to reach the final then played Tottenham who for some reason fielded a weakened team and had nice easy win. Diouf is great on this game along with Arnie and Odemwingie, all scored 15+ in all comps.

Would anyone be interested in thinking up a Football Manager Stoke challenge between a few of us where we think up a set of rules and restrictions for a Stoke file on the game and set a target, e.g. Prem title. The one to achieve it in the fewest seasons wins? We could post updates on here e.g. transfer business after each window etc.

Add a new manager man city or somebody rich and buy a crap player from their team for 60mil or simply use a game editor.

I'm sure you can set it up that you can create an online league and play together
edit: Online play allows the user to play Football Manager™ 2015 against other users. To start an online game as the host, create a new game as has been described in this manual.
Once the game has been set up and you have chosen a team to manage, you are in a position to host an online game. From the ‘FM’ menu, go to the ‘Game Status’ screen and note the ‘Server IP Address’. You will need to provide this to anyone you intend to allow into your online game.
If you are joining an online game, all you need is the server name from the host. From the Main Menu, select ‘Join Online Game’ and then click ‘Search’ to see a list of servers. If no servers are shown or the server you wish to join isn’t there, enter the name in to the ‘Server Name’ option.
Football Manager™ Classic also features the online Versus competition mode. You and your friends can set up a custom competition and go head-to-head solely against each other if you so wish. Additionally, if each of you wishes to pit your own custom teams against each other from your own offline career games, you can do so by exporting them and using them in your custom competition

I've done quite a few online games but you all have to be on at the same time. It would be next to impossible to work out times to suit everyone.

Has anyone had any decent files on this one to talk about? I enjoy hearing about other people's files but didn't want to start a new thread for it. For anyone that's interested, here's mine:
Started unemployed. Hired by Deinze in the lowest Belgian league when they were fighting relegation. I managed to finish mid table but they sacked me as they wanted me to get promoted which, I thought, was unrealistic. Only team that would take me at the end of the season were RFC Liege, just promoted on the file from the Belgian non-leagues. First season, achieved mid table. Second, won the title and got promoted to the first division. I won the playoffs first season in that league. Finished the season bottom on 16 points but nearly stayed up through the relegation playoffs (had signed Soleymayne Oulare's son in January). I dominated the league and won the title to come back up and I'm now 8th and in the Belgian cup final after beating Genk 6-2 on aggregate (4-1 away, 2-1 home). If I can finish in the top six, I'll be entered into the championship playoffs. (Not certain how they work as the Belgian league is a bit weird.
After reading their history section on wikipedia which, as we know, is the source of all knowledge, it turns out that:
The club is the first Belgian Champion (1896) and is still the only club that has played all seasons at a national level (106 seasons in 2008-09).
The file is suddenly even more intetesting.

Got a decent game going with Stoke.
First season finished midtable but sold Bego and Arnie for daft money in the end to be used on squad building.
Now in the second season sitting 5th after 10 games. Mr Coates just given me an extra 6M for January.
Butland / Boruc
Jenkinson Shawcross Balanta Pieters
Sisto Wernbloom Gudelj Misidjan
Di Santo Aspas
Reserves
Belfodil Sidwell Badu NGuemo Thorgan Hazard Ferrerya
Pione Sisto is mental. Signed him for around 2M in season one. Scored 19 goals with 17 assists from the wing and is now worth 10.75M. Genuine wonderkid.
