Football Manager 2014.

**nigel-harps1954** · 15/08/2013, 11:52 AM

Announcement was made yesterday with the updates and improvements as well as screenshots for the new Football Manager game.

Must say it looks fantastic and with some overhauls such as tactics and transfer market negotiations with new clauses added, this is looking like an absolute cracker of a game and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

That guy. Does a very good job in fairness to him, always looking for updates from clubs fans as well as officials and coaches. Full time job really.

yh i can never really complain about the stats think they are quite accurate this year

Has anyone played it much?

The researcher was doing some serious work this year.

Case in point...

Anyone remember a player called Dean Lawrence? Was with Rovers, Shels and Kildare County in the LOI? Trying to find out if he's still playing anywhere, last record I can find for him is SacredHeart Fc in 2011-12 season?

Going as far as researching junior teams in Galway. That might not have made it in yet, but nice to see.

I'm very happy to see steam workshop integration. It isn't very well served yet, but give it time.

I'll leave it another while until I pick it up. Decided to pre-order the new Xbox so FIFA will keep me happy until Xmas.

Haven't played quite as much as I'd have liked to.

Few problems, which I've forwarded on to be fixed in the next patch.

League of Ireland under-19 teams. A mix up in the system left League of Ireland under 19 clubs as separate entities altogether, meaning, for example, Finn Harps, and Finn Harps under-19s are two separate clubs. It's fairly annoying, but I just fixed it in the editor myself.

Shaun McGowan is listed as player/assistant manager at Harps. Instead of Sean McGowan as assistant, and Shaun McGowan as player. Instead, Sean McGowan is listed as unattached. Also to be corrected in the next patch.

A huge, in depth list of players in Ireland including a massive amount of junior and intermediate players. A large proportion of those players are only in the game though because they were previously attached to League of Ireland clubs. They simply kept on their profiles from previous games and added them to their new clubs.

The guy who updates the Irish section deserves massive credit for the amount of work and research he does.

Used to work doing that type of thing. It really is hard work keeping track of everyone.

I think he wanted to implement the under 19 league properly as well, but it isn't possible currently, due to how FM works. At least that's what I think he said. Was a while ago though.

Yeah he said he tried to sort out the 19's league as it is currently, rather than the youth system that's always been in place in FM, but there was some sort of mix up in the database.

I think the problem might be that there is conventional promotion/relegation between them and that hasn't been implemented across FM

I don't think he said that, but could be the reason.

just out of interest did anyone ever create an irish database for fm which included the LSL, MSL and so on, because i was trying to do so but kept effing up on it

Not quite that but what I've done with FM14 is create a pyramid with the 226 Irish clubs in the database. It contains 15 divisions all linked with promotion/relegation. I was thinking of putting in a straight ladder structure with 15 levels but I decided to go with only 4 levels. Basically the 1st three tiers are Premier, First & Second divisions containing 18 teams. Then the 4th tier has 12 sub-divisions with promotion play-offs for the 172 remaining clubs. There are 6 teams pro/rel from tiers 3 & 4.

sounds interesting have you done it for fm13 or fm14 wouldnt mind giving that database a try

Would love to see a few screenshots of that.
