I've been wishing for the ability to manage Reserve/Youth teams and then advance up the managerial ladder since FM broke away from CM. Can never see it happening though.

Good one.

A correct implementation of this feature in general seems unlikely but with a simple tick-box we could have a good alternative.

The trial idea is absolutely number one for me - a day or several days when local unattached players could come to the club would be excellent.

When giving my scout instructions, I also want to be able to tell my scout to specifically look for unattached players.

Like the idea of simulated promotion/relegation.

I'd like the lowest leagues playable in England to be a tier lower than we have now, with simulated prom/rel up to 8 tiers below. That would give us Ryman Premier, BGB Southern league, and the Unibond to play with.

Nobby would be in Billericay heaven then

Could you Imagine the CPU requirements for this Scale, as you would need to impliment similer for the other top footballing nations aswell due to the fact that FM isnt solely on sale in the UK and other nationalitys would also be wanting similer attention.
to put it bluntly, if you thought CM4 was Slow, it would be lightning fast compaired to that if it was done that deep.
Now if it was say 2 leagues below playable, that is still an improvment without killing the system Spec that would be required, in my opinion.

Simulated promotions and relegations surely don't ask that much from the computer do they?

Or am I misreading your post?

Adlain

but in order to simulate the promotions and relagations in an actual league format it would need to simulate the games each week, and then you will most likly have to add extra transfers within and outside those leagues as the way i understand it, in order to acheive what we want - a Proper Lower League Structure - the Extra Leagues will have to behave like a playable league just without the option of playing within them - hence it would put a drain on system resurces just like adding extra leagues does currently in FM

Scottish Juniors, Highland League and East of Scotland Professional Leagues in the game.

I can hope...

How many years have you ben asking for this?

iajafer

To be fair, none.

SI have made it perfectly clear that they'd endeavour to put more playable National Leagues in the game than expand the current bunch.

Maybe in the future...
