What file and how do I see their ID?

:D Next season, your Messi will come. I am sure of it!

I am one point behind the leaders with my hungry chickens, but we're quite a few up there and it's only been 14 games.
They say my finances are Okay but I am in the red, projected to make a loss of about half a million this year. :janna:

You have to check 'show me IDs in the game' or something like that in the preferences, rename their pics to match their IDs and add a line in a config file - any config file will do - pics have to be in the same folder as config.

There's 4 folders, depending on skin color of your regen. Add a picture from folder into your Graphics/sortitoutsi/faces. Rename that picture with ID of regen. Open config file with notepad and add it.
Example <record from="ID NUMBER OF YOUR PLAYER" to="graphics/pictures/person/ID NUMBER OF YOUR PLAYER/portrait"/>

For me the most broken thing on this by far is the penalties. Even with Ronaldo (19), Dybala (17) or Haaland (16) I convert maybe 25% of penalties. I just expect a miss when I get one, it's that bad. Nothing realistic about it at all.

    I actually scored my last 5 penalties, so something is fucky.

    I've won 1 CL in 4 years, keep going out on away goals in the QF or SF to English teams. Still better than real life lol *sigh*

    Ronaldo is playing his last season and will be 39 by the time he retires. Still winning Serie A best striker and scoring a goal per game average. Absolute monster.

    I havent played this in nearly 2 months, anyone wanna say if they improved match engine? Not touching again until they have.
    tried it the other night and the only change i noticed is that now my developement manager is accepting loans and transfer bids for B team and youth players despite me having never delegated that responsibility. :howler:

    Won Vanarama National League South with my hungry chickens! Pre-season almost over, have introduced a lot of new faces. A few things I thought was interesting...
    Key players last year on contracts have been renewed. They were 'star players', in our new contract negotiations they suggested to play as 'fringe' player with a non-contract. The very few that did not offer that, suggested their salaries to be decreased. Not sure why this has happened but I am loving it.
    I have so far sold 38 season tickets, the goal is 100. I am slightly concerned that my squad has so few friends and family members willing to purchase season tickets. My economy is not great. We have been forced to rent a new stadium because ours were too small for the regulations. We were never anywhere close to fill our stadium (2000 seats, averaged about 300-400). The economy was completely dependent on money from cups. So a bit nervous about forthcoming year if we can avoid going bankrupt.
    All my facilities are as bad as they can be, I even snuck a peak behind the scenes and could see that they were all at 1 of 20. My pitch was waterlogged kind of all the time, opponents complained every time about playing on this pig farm. My physio had like a three, can't remember, and so on. Everything was set up for crazy amount of injuries. See the results below.

    I have NEVER had so little injuries, and no, I did not rotate. My squad was small so everyone pretty much played 50 games. Kite who missed the most was a loanee for free to cover for potential injuries that never came. On a somewhat different note, I had hoped that those that played would improve over the year but no one even improved a little bit. I suppose it's the consequence of the facilities and being semi-professional.

    I have signed Michael Essien. How cool isn't that?!

    It's weird. I have tracked so many for a year and they refused to come even on loan. Then their contracts expired. Still refused. A few weeks go, then they come and accept a role as 'fringe player' with a fairly low salary. Weird.

    Holy crap what have they done with the gameplay? Every game is like 7-5 in clear cut chances, conversion rate is horrific

    And penalties just as well. I had 7 penalties in a row missed and then a penalty shootout in CL 1/4 final and my players missed all 3

    From the list seems like they at least tried to fix every single issue I had with gameplay. Let's see how it works.

    Played 6 games since the update, not perfect but definitely an improvement. My team now plays some decent football, crosses more often and i've seen a reduction in the long balls.
