Was posted on here 10 days ago, but thanks Colin...............and not a good idea to delete the files without making a back up copy.........
If anyone wants to add a bit of fun to the game, go into your game folder \Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\db\1500\edt\ and look for a file called forbidden names.bnc -
This is a list of names that are blocked from being used for re-gens. Obvious ones are Adolf Hitler, Jimmy Saville, Robert Mugabe, Fred West, Peter Sutcliffe and Ian Brady. Also some comical "risky" ones, such as Dick Head, Fanny Licka, Wayne Kerr, Dick Fest, Fanny Flick and many more.
If you want a chance of these names appearing at some point, just open the file with notepad and delete the ones you want to appear (but a good idea to back up this file first, in case you wish to restore it later).
*Note: This will only apply for new games started after the change..........
probably where I first saw it as mentioned above and could not find it again lol
I never made a back up but if you go to Steam you can verify the integrity of game cache and it puts the files back on there
Only got this yesterday but in the play offs half way thru the first season. Seems to be a silly amount of goals being scored and conceded, way more than any other FM ive had.
Would recommend Donis Avdijaj on season long loan from schalke, kid is the absolute tits, him and vetokele up front have hit 25 goals between them by christmas. Got grealish on loan from villa too whose rated better than johann and bulot?!
I had Grealish as well but he's only effective as AMR. Bulot will get goals and is a good choice on free kicks. JBG got 17 assists in my season, the most in The Championship and I played him AML/AMR switching with Bulot. They still sacked me though!
I'm at Forest now and Charlton have fallen apart in pre-season! I've signed Pope and Cousins from them for a combined £5m, Solly was sold Newcastle for £1m, Boyata (who I signed for them) to Brentford, Igor to Villa, Tucudean to Birmingham and Gomez to Burnley. They hardly have any players left!
I've managed to bring in Gradel, Bamford and a Spanish GK on frees, Pope, Cousins and Blackett from Utd as well as a wing back from Barcelona B whose name I've forgotten - Patric maybe? Will check later.
Started a new season with Lecce in Serie C, won the title in my first season and now after 16 games in Serie B I'm top by 5 points and in the January window. Some class buys I've had are Andrea Bovo a CM on a free, Rodellaga is a free in the second season and good for the lower leagues, also Gazzaniga on loan from Saints is a decent keeper.
If you scout Holland you'll find some real Gems on a free in the summer.
Regarding tutoring, I always look for which senior players have a high level of professionalism and try to pair them up with a kid who has a low level and then get them to mentor them off the pitch. This will help the youngster develop his own level, meaning he's much more likely to reach his potential abilty.
If the senior player isn't of a high level himself, I'll stick to on the pitch tutoring. This has always been the case in previous versions, so I'm assuming it's the same for this............
I dropped the "play ball into the box" option pretty quick. Prefer to get it out wide to the wingers to whip it in, rather than trying to find a pass that isn't there.
Keep possession is okay if you're playing a controlled or defensive style of play, but I found it slows play down too much if playing faster tempo attacking.
My advice is not to over complicated it. For example, you can dictate the tempo by going higher or lower, but it's fine (and sometimes better) not to check either option.
The bottom line is: There's not set up that will fix it for you. It depends on how your opposition is playing and I often find myself changing my instruction half a dozen times during a game when I feel something isn't working, and listen to what your assistant is telling you (but equally, feel free to ignore him).............
Am playing 1, 4, 1, 2, 2, 1 with JBG and Bulot on the wings.
Playing counter attacking with flexible approach.
Instructions, keep possession, Play the ball in the box, Use the flanks.
Any ideas or thoughts?
I would drop keep possession I started off with just 2 instructions keep possession and short passes, I soon noticed that players start holding onto the ball doing nothing and end up getting tackled, so I dropped keep possession and they have stopped doing that now
I have lost every single game (7) since the latest update... I was winning more than half of the games before too, and I am getting demolished in every one now, anyone else got this?

I was on a 12 match winning streak and 6 pts clear in the coference with Ebbsfleet. Since the update, I've lost 4 out of 10 and am now 2nd...........
Since the update I had gone through a terrible patch of form, losing 8 from 10. I switched formations and did everything I could, the only thing that made a difference was playing defensive and having short passing, play wider and close down. Since that I've picked up some good wins. I also play 4-4-1-1
Keep possession is okay if you're playing a controlled or defensive style of play, but I found it slows play down too much if playing faster tempo attacking.
Started my first game now everything has calmed down today.
Sold Churchinio to Bristol City for 250k. Pope and Fox have gone on loan to League One teams for the season. I've got big Tal tutoring Gomez and I'm training Harriott as a shadow striker.
Have signed Thomas Drage for 240k, Milan Djuric for 350k and have Mason on loan from Spurs plus Avdijaj on loan from Schalke. One year contract offers have gone to Carlo Nash and Marek Cech, just waiting on their decisions.
Planning to work with a 4-2-3-1 formation and I'm personally hoping for a play off push but I have a 2.5m budget with Katrien expecting a respectable league position at the end of the season. At least that gives me a bit of leeway if it all goes pear shaped.
Just a couple of things I noticed after playing for a few hours:
I think Cousins need his corner rating improved from 5 into double figures in the next patch. The other is that Igor's aerial ability is one of his weaknesses - a surprising number of his goals have been headed efforts and if I could find the right article & I haven't imagined it, BP has said that that is his *secret weapon*.

Thomas Drage is a must signing.
Word of warning: (not sure regarding gaining promotion in your first season) but I was only given a nominal budget for the second season in the championship. Bulot & Buyens were key players for me, no chance of loaning either again so had to replace them in the summer. Keep an eye on Gael Kakuta at Chelsea. They release him in the summer and he almost single-handedly won me the title. As for CM, I picked up John Lundstam from Everton and AMC Marco Frediani from Roma (both free). I'm sure you'll find your own targets, but those lads are worth keeping an eye on...........
You can get promotion first season, it would be unbelivable if you stayed up mind, i ended up relegted from the prem.
In a Derby season at the moment with a pretty decent starting 11for the Prem.

Anyone having issues recalling a player from a loan
I loaned Harriott to Pompy but Bulot is starting to annoy me so wanted to bring Harriott back, I have checked and I did put recall clause on there but cant recall him

I just got a message saying Zak Ansah is disenchanted at shadowing Noel Hunt and feels he cant gain anything when the players are so different.
looked but cant see an option to cancel it
So as to not annoy him I selected the most understanding of responses.
If the senior player isn't of a high level himself, I'll stick to on the pitch tutoring. This has always been the case in previous versions, so I'm assuming it's the same for this............
