Seems I've been late to the entire party since FM24 came put. I'm finally redoing my tutorials for FM24 now, too. So you should see them soon on my new FM channel. Thanks!

@ new channel? Oh boy. Point me in the right direction to that when it’s ready! Good work

Thanks. Hopefully, the videos helped. I, too, think the MLS is the best challenge in FM. Sometimes, my series looks too easy, but if you get a lower end team, it'll be a very tough challenge. When I finish my MLS Glory with NYRB, I'm doing DC United, and it'll be harder. Thanks for the feedback!!

This is an achievement you get from earning any story ending. Joining the fight will get the achievement.

No I don’t think it does. Played the game through 2 times and did both ways and it didn’t work. I found out that you have to get all other trophies to get it

Thank you!!!

You are very welcome!

www.trueachievements.com/gamer/GamingGndpa/games I have played 176 and only 6 still need to be completed. I'm finishing Viva Pinata today. Then State of Decay, Oblivion, Animal Shelter, Starfield, Garfield Kart & Smurfs: Mission Vileaf. Of course, I have a few games lined up.

It's been awhile since I played, but some of the fish and photos didn't have 3 stars. However, you don't need all stars to finish the game, luckily. I had only 2 that I never earned 3 stars.

Thanks! Yes, it does become repetitive. If you're just playing this game for enjoyment and is quite fun. However, I had no such luck so it became quite grinding.

I really loved this game, although to 100% it - was a bit grinding and taxing. Still, a beautiful game. I remember days of my old Windows phone with games like this. I love all fish games.

I'm very busy this time of year. With the holidays coming up and all of the shopping to do - quite busy. Plus, I now have 2 channels to keep up on. However, I always find time to play some Xbox. I have a few games lined up after I finish Viva Pinata that will really boost my Gamerscore. =) Thanks!

I hear ya. I get brain dead at times. =) If I was thinking, I would have edited the beginning and middle out lol.

Was a funny situation for me. =)

Well, I noticed the other day some things have changed. I'll do a new video this weekend showing the changes and how to do it the current way. Thanks for letting me know!

Unfortunately, the players involved in the draft are all random. You can trade to get more picks. Also, make sure you scout the players entering the draft as you will find a gem or 2.

Yes it is. Thanks!

It took me awhile to beat it without the Pesticide gun. =) Once you have this weapon, it gets a lot easier. Still a very grinding game though. Thanks! God bless you too!

I'm 2 achievements away from 100% but it's getting really boring. I need 120 more waves on Survival and 1 mil more for all weapons bought. Oh the grind. =) Thanks!

I really do enjoy these. Plus, it's a fairly easy completion. Thanks!

This is the guide I used.

.

It's possible every since the 1st update that SI created. It is possible now. I don't do it, but it's your game, so play how you want. Hopefully, it'll be fixed for next year. I noticed it also, but I still use trades. 😁

@@GamingGrandpa71 the problem us i cannot choose, i only have trade option , i also want to use normal transfer offers since i have a lot money left in transfer budget but don't know how to do it

Yeah, it's a quirky bug. Try doing an inquiry for the player you want from their MLS team, and you then should be able to do an actual transfer offer.

I'm playing FM right now actually. =) I have 1 video done and 1 coming soon. Just had a lot of videos for the Xbox stuff. I actually haven't been on Twitch in a bit. I didn't change a date. Maybe it auto changed it. I'm trying to get stuff done that I'm behind on. I'm editing a FM video now. =) Soon.

Oh it said on your TWITCH page next FM stream 10/03 then on the 10th it said next FM stream 12/03. When I saw the 10th but no actual time I text you on your discord "do you have a time"? and you replied, back from work at 6pm (your time) and no overtime next week so thought you were back on with the DC Utd stream. Still do let me know as still get caught out by some situations e.g. bringing back players from injury list which messes up the roster and the player/contract ownership mess as third party ownership is illegal in EU? However I will figure it out if you are quitting FM streaming, maybe doing games for the grandkids more fulfilling.

I will stream tonight. We can chat about these issues.

You play some funny games! - just watched your 30min FM Twitch stream says I missed you by 44mins so not sure if the timings are off. Our clocks go back 1hr end of March (Springtime) so will have to re-calibrate with yours. Any chance of a catch up on Xbox say on Friday night 6pm -8pm your time? I have some issues going with FM would like advice with if that's ok. Keep communication open with paste this to your Other message site.

Yeah, Friday will definitely work. I'm also going to see I'd Discord will allow me to show FM stuff.

Check out my video here: th-cam.com/video/vp29lYIkfd8/w-d-xo.html

First, I'd recommend that you do them all in 1 sitting. You have to beat all 15 decibel concerts. You're ok to do the story one. But I'd get the rest of them once you find the locations, then go do them all at once.

Got it.@@GamingGrandpa71

Thank you ☺ 😊 @@GamingGrandpa71

You're welcome

👍 @@GamingGrandpa71

It's now unlockable

Same here.

I just have a minute, but my twitch is Tuesday, Feb 6

ok will check it out next Tuesday

discord.gg/JvptEGmY

Sorry man. Just been working overtime (unexpected) the past week for a few months. Don't have as much time as I hoped. On a side note, I created the discord channel, and I will be live each day from 6 (central time) till 9.

You mean for you to sell them? It's up to you. I usually pay around 250K in GAM for 3 years. Any slots you sell come off your total. So, if you have currently 10 and sell 1 for 2 years, then you'll have 9 currently and 1 will be in your transfer clauses.

I replied to the DP ? below. Green cards are 100% random. I had a guy get one with only 1 year of being in the USA and another get it after 3. Yeah, MLS loans work funny in the MLS. It's not impossible to loan, but after the latest update to FM, it messed up some things. I'd honestly rather trade for young guys in the MLS>

Thanks for info GP useful, I guess compared to buying and selling Trading seems very random no "set price" price for anything more supply & demand and better early season when teams have full compliment. Strange that Canadian teams get 11 while US teams only 8 although both in the MLS? The trading is very labour intensive (to & frow) and can only use GAM not transfer funds and you have to use GAM to bring down salaries to fit cap. I notice some teams have 2mil GAM while I only have 200k left however still doing good making things fit so thanks! Will check out your discord but need to understand time difference.

If you sell someone to a non-MLS team, it will credit your slot the day after the transfer is completed. If you sell a player in August and he isn't scheduled to leave your team until January 1, then it won't credit until January 2, after the player leaves.

Thanks, I sold the player to a Brasil team (as he was from there) so taking up a DP slot with no add on's only 37K per month (thanks to AI manager) and an Inter slot. That came back right away but under finances/league stats still said I had 3 DP slots & Players but on the players list only showed (proof) I had 2 one reg & one YPDP slot. However some weeks later I had to start to negotiate with my Good MLS player turned Star player a new contract as promised and other players kicking off and wow a DP contract was available so all done sold the player with DP and moved it to the star player. However there was anther good player that DOF took control as he wanted a DP contract and they sold me one for a year to make the purchase for 130k but deal feel through not sure what happened to the 'extra DP contract slot or the money I spent! I think the MLS rules driving Sports Inter crazy as it is a game within a game! Plus they have to correct/stop other players getting involved (pissed off) with other player contract dealings as in real life would be totally private as in our jobs.

Thanks! I was down visiting my grandkids for a week. Just got back last night. Couldn't make any videos there. =) Also, my computer crashed 2 weeks ago again. We have it fixed now though so it won't happen again. Problem is I had to restart everything yet again. Will be making a FM video soon.

Cool I sent you an email of my progress and a player tip for you TRUSY from Arsenal/Birmingham now have 2 more USA players playing in other countries so let me know if you got the email sorry having PC issues not good for a UTuber ha ha ...

I'll check it out tonight. I've had a lot going on. Fixed my computer issues. I went to see the grandkids, started a new job on Monday, and just a lot going on. The good news is I'm 1 week gametime away from the start of my season. So, I'll be redoing the 1st episode soon. I'm also going to start being on Discord and Twitch soon, too. More to follow.

No worries GP good luck with new job now you will have limited time but hope you can get BAD back up & running as I have lots to share e.g. an exciting American sticker hiding in a Mexico team and some strange glitches to report to SEGA although FM23 is done with. Hey I have won loads just lost the US CUP but won COCACAF now have MLS final which they won last year before I joined so may lose but already a triple winner so not too worried clearly my system works just need to strengthen and have more depth.

I was finally able to create an FM video last night. Will edit and upload tonight. I'll also try to catch up with you.

Can anyone confirm this?

Unfortunately, because there's DLC, I've heard it needs to be completed to earn this achievement now. When I completed this game there was no DLC.

Thanks. It crashed on me this week also. Good news is I've fixed the issue. Bad news, I list all files yet again.

Hey! My computer crashed again, and I lost everything, but I'm almost finished reinstalling stuff. I'll reply soon. Thanks

Tactics seem to be different each year. I personally play with a 4-2-3-1 with 2 midfielders year in year out and seem to do just great. I tweak the settings for possession, etc based on my players. I'd pick you a tactic that is recommended and you should do fine.

Yeah I did when I first set up and based it on how I played FM21. I did download a tactic from sortitout and RDF but they did not suit my team and my original tactic like you say with some tweaking has been great as top by 12points only 1 loss in 21 games! I have a pretty solid squad now and getting the hang of making everything fit but still learning and needing to learn more. I beat your NYR 1-0 with almost same players you have in FM24 and then Miami 1-0 after going down to 10 in 45th min albeit they lost a man in 65th also but I hung on for the win. Love watching your games as like me you vocalise and kick every ball so keep the NYRB save going!

I'm glad you're getting the hang of it. Tactics need an entire video for themselves, and sometimes I think I'll do one for MLS. However, the tactics I use aren't structured towards my team. Rather, I make the players fit my tactic, lol. Sorry you beat my boys, haha. Keep me posted on how you're doing, and I do plan on keeping up with it this season.

Thanks, I am doing surprisingly good easier than FM21. Just lost my second game but about 12pts ahead after 22 games. I find that as you are limited in the MLS so your seconds are never as good a s main team and they get tired or injured and results suffer. Hopefully have enough legs to make it to the end but I understand you get nothing for winning the conference league and after a long season need to kick on again to win the playoffs (top 7) which is a lucky dip competition all over.

Happy new year to yourself as well. The glitch has been patched now. However, you will need to start a fresh save for it to take effect.

Thanks, as you know I am still playing FM23 and all seems ok. Just got my 13th inter slot albeit accepted 4yrs down from 5yrs giving up a 3rd round pick 2024 instead of 1st round in 2023 which concerned me. The 13th slot showed up in 'Transfers' I think but is there somewhere which shows expiry dates as I started with 9 when taking over the club and traded another 4 a 2 year two 5yrs and cannot remember the other one be good to keep a check but not sure where to check for dates?

Look in transfers/clauses. This is where the slots are posted.

Great found them thanks

I agree. Did you try playing it in free mode?

I have do with a friend and he don't receive it . 🤔🤷‍♂️😞

I also heard that if you start the game and there is DLC available, then you will not get this achievement until all available DLC is completed. When I earned this achievement, there was no DLC. I know a few other games are like this as well. So, before you play each mission in Free Mode, complete each DLC and it should pop. However, since it isn't free, I would do what you can!

DLC.. what do need to buy the other ones ?

I can confirm after creating a new xbox account and playing through absolutely everything and all dlc that the achievement is glitched now. So playing dlc will give you achievements for them but not the As it was foretold achievement.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Somehow, these older comments got overlooked, and not just from you. I think I fixed it now. So, I'll reply a lot faster. I'm still hoping to finish this year's tutorial series. I managed to download my current videos and even redesigned my power point. Just need to have time. I appreciate everything you're doing to add to my support. =)

It's not 1 year in the USA to become naturalized. It's 5 years. However, here we can give the players green cards, which allow them to play here as a domestic player. A green card is a type of visa that gives them certain domestic rights. This also means that players don't need to have an international slot. The only problem is that a green card can take a week or years, just like in real life. Green cards in Football Manager are randomly given. When they're given, you get a message in your inbox, and it makes you happy, lol.

OK GP' - many thanks explained a lot just random no action by the club required. Hope you keep your series going as very very helpful to us non-MLS folk!

I plan on it. Things just magically have a way of back firing on me lol. I pre-ordered FM this year (first time ever) so I could get a jump on my tutorial series, when the international bug hit. Now, my computer crashed, and I had to re-install windows and lost everything. So, basically starting over. Ugh!

So sorry to hear that really frustrating anytime but more when you want to support the FM MLS community. Hope you get everything back online as clearly helping a lot of people. My MLS save and success would not have happened without your advice. BIG THANK YOU.

You're very welcome. Well, I finally got things back, and it crashed again last night. Turns out I was sent a bad hard drive. Ugh!!

That's great. I've been working on one for this year, but I still need more time, lol. Eventually, you'll get the hang of the MLS and really enjoy it.

I gave up a lot to get him, but I also traded Nielsen earlier and used some of what I received from his trade to get Gray. I still ended up with 2 1st round draft picks and 100K allocation money. It'll take a few years before you can trade for permanent slots. By year 3 for me, is when I started trading good players for permanent slots. Only because I always had 4-6 1st round picks and tons of other stuff already. They don't increase each year. Only way to get more is too trade for them. My 1st 2 seasons, I traded for 1-3 year slots.

This is where it gets complicated with the pre-contract stuff. If a player will become a free agent if no one signs him and his contract runs out, then yes, teams can sign him to a pre-contract deal when he has 6 months or less left on his contract, both outside of MLS. Teams can't do pre-contracts with another MLS team. A free agent in the MLS must have 4 years of MLS service and be 24 or older. You can re-sign players at any time. I sign them during the year their contract will run out during the start of the season. For start date of contract, select end of MLS season. This way it is only good for the next year and on. Yes, they always ask for more money. Where it gets complicated is when the money they want forces them into a DP slot. If you have a free slot, no problem. If not, time to decide if you want to keep them this bad and if so, then you must get rid of another DP. However, don't forget that 1 time per year you can exercise the DP Buyout deal. If you haven't used it this year, then re-sign them now to a DP contract this way next year you can get another new DP. Under 22 contracts are the same way. The draft I'll talk about in a bit. I tend to sell players that want a huge increase to the current contract, and I don't want to pay them this much. I also sell players every year that haven't developed well. Of course, in my NYRB save, the club wants me to sell players for a profit and if I get a good offer, I'll sell them. If you get a poor offer for a talented youngster, don't fret about asking what you want. Chances are that the team will come back in again if they really want the player. You don't pay money for MLS players from another team. However, this year SI messed something up and you can do it. Trades are the only way to get another player from any MLS team. You need to see what's best for you and your club as to whether you trade or sell a player outside the MLS. If I get an offer or notice a team wants my player, I tend to look through that team's roster to see if I can get a younger player in return. Once again, in real life MLS teams don't ever pay money from the transfer funds to acquire players from other teams. So, I'd just practice trading for now as next year it should be fixed. I never loan a player from another MLS team. If I do a loan, it's for a future fee so I can buy the player. Some young players don't want to play for me currently, but if I offer a loan deal, they usually come around when I can then purchase them from the fee included in the loan deal. You're allowed to trade most of the year. There are a few exceptions. Look in rules to get a good idea when you can't. Once again, your transfer fund should only be for international players. I only sell players that I don't want too if they complain about me turning down an offer. Because we play in the MLS, teams don't want to offer as much as you want. This is the way it is over here. However, nothing says you can't drive the price up until you reach a point that makes you happy. January is a good time to sell, but most of my sales are from Jun through September, as this is when most of the world's transfer window starts.

Great in depth reply - very helpful!

You're welcome.
