    I'd like this Stickied,please.

    This is the thread for people to talk about training. Best results. Favorite Schedule types. As per requested by others on the board.

    Delinquent players and how best to deal with them. Who's the best Coach?

    If possible Links to FMusa4you.com could be provided and SIGAMES, to their boards which deal with the same subjects. In order to expand the available knowledge/help to those of us, the WWSM/FM faithful.

    Good thread idea... I've had problems with players who missed practice or got carded and warned them... they initially hit out at you but leave them be and bench them for a game or two and then they apologize... well, atleast in my experience.

    i just have a normal training regimen going right now. I still have no clue what I'm doing, about 10 games into my first season with Arsenal on my slow computer, come the middle of April I'll have a high powered machine that will own this game so I'm waiting until then to get real involved with everything.

    There is a bug w/ training... if you set too many schedules the game will take all the activities out of one or two of the schedules and there is no way to remedy it... its quite enfuriating tbh...

    Does anyone have a good schedule for wingers? My wing training schedule never gets the job done it seems... I can get the wingers to improve but not at crossing...

    Also, I can't recall someone actually getting more creative, does anyone know of Creativity is a trainable stat?

    A way of getting round the flaw in training (flawed in that certain 'exercises' that should increase stats, don't), is to play around with it a little. Say you want a regimen that increases your defensive players stats, pick out all the different exercises until the defensive bar reaches or is either over, the marker. Do the same for attackers and Goalkeepers.

    You'd be surprised at the training regimen because the exercises that shouldn't have that big an influence DO. Once you've done this, watch those stats fly.

    Of course, some people see it as cheating because it's not realistic. I say that until training itself is more realistic, there's really no alternative.

    I agree. Certain regimens make outfield players improve in Goalkeeping. It bothers me greatly.

    Used to do the same, my friend. Turns out it doesn't matter if your assistant is Jose Mourinho (check his stats, blinding!), having the correct schedules and coaches will always provide better results than letting him handle it.

    For a long time I actually didn't know training can be THAT effective. You can sign a player and have all his stats up by 3/4 points in the first few weeks!

    TBH the best results I get are using either the 'bas training' or 'cleon training' schemes from sortitoutsi.net

    I let my ass man handle the training because frankly it's boring to me to change the regimens around when the stop working. When I get REALLY involved I will have 5-6 regimens, and it's ridiculous that a regimen which worked GREAT one week, now has all players in it dropping like rocks.

    What I do, is just set up 2 schedules for each type of player... well, wingers get one, but strikers, defenders, midfielders all have 2... for strikers, one will emphasize mainly finishing and heading and is basically for #9's, the other one emphasizes, passing, technique and off the ball, basically one for saviola type strikers... I swap forwards in between those based on whether they are improving or not. Same with mids... one for creators and one for holding mids... yes, even your pretty boy #10's can learn to play defense... that's my mentality anyway.

    And Macintosh. It's WWSM here in the states, FM in the rest of the world. It might be slightly tougher to find now, 9? months after release, but you should manage. I got my copy of FM soon after release from one of the big UK distributors.

    Those look like great games, have to show some of mine on here.
    The Champs first leg against Bremen looks good.
    Cisse is great on football manager and so are people like Adriano,Bojinov and Robinho, but in real life they do not live up to expectations.

    Cisse ripped me to shreds in that CL game. Naldo, who was my best defender and therefore marking him, got sent off in the second half so I had to put 33 year old Baumann at CB, which is not his best position at all. Cisse scored a hat-trick, but we Klose came off the bench and saved our rears. On the away leg, all we needed was a draw, but I foolishly decided to use a 3-4-3 formation to go for a win, and we lost 4-2 I think. If Naldo wasn't suspended we might have done better. I've just been really unlucky in the CL on FM. Injuries, suspensions, bad finishing, etc. The furthest I've gotten in the CL is quarterfinals with Roma. Won UEFA cup though in my first full season there.

    its a tough league, because i had took over other clubs after this madrid career because it was lost and i won the Premier league with Norwich and built up a team over a few years containing the likes of, Ronaldo, Riquelme, Figo, Casillas, Woodgate, Nesta, etc, but with such top players i continued for a lot of seasons, and you just cannot win the big cup.I feel that you have a better chance with a bigger name team like Arsenal or Milan.

    I was so distrought when Adriano decided to retire, he was 36 but still played excellently, which was the same for beckham on FM

    Do you find that when you ask a player to re-consider retirement, they always continue to retire anyway-i find this very annoying.
