    Another one of those “FM got me a role with a club”

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 06:45 PM PDT

    A few weeks back, I succeeded in a childhood dream to hold a role in a football club.

    I will be upfront by saying that FM alone did not land me a role in football (and VERY VERY rarely does).

    I started playing FM as a kid after getting frustrated with Fifa Career mode. Like most of us, I spent hours scrutinizing over my transfers - even finishing exams early and drawing out depth charts on my the back of the page.

    As I grew older and continue to become increasingly interested in data and analytics, it was FM that inspired me to go farther and explore the real world of football analytics - first pursuing my licenses and then self-starter and 'hobbyist' work.

    It is a very surreal feeling to assemble and analyze data that is used to make a signing. Still pinching myself a bit and reminding myself that there is lots of money at stake (not just a poor transfer window in a save). There are not many who would understand this, but I know this community would. FM provided me the platform to think analytically in a simulated environment about KPI's, squad construction, quantifying playing styles, etc.

    Unfortunately, I am unable to share the name of the club at this time, but I can say that it is a club in a cold place that plays a different calendar than most of Europe 😉. It seems likely I will be in the next game, which at that point will be another "pinch me" moment.

    TLDR: If you are passionate enough about something, go the extra mile and work to make it a reality.

    If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)

    How to Use NewGAN Manager V2 with FM2020

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 06:34 AM PDT

    I've noticed over the last few days that there have been a number of people asking if it was possible to the NewGAN Manager with FM 2020,as it turns out you can so I figured I write a step-by-step guide here on how to do so, because I had a lot of trouble finding a clear/easy to understand one. This guide is written for Windows users but for the most part I think it should be usable for Mac users as well, bear in mind that there may be a few small differences such as folder locations but it should still be somewhat followable with a bit of common sense, or maybe not I don't know, I'm not a Mac guy.

    Downloading and Preparing NewGAN:

    The download process is pretty much the same as Zealands Guide for FM21, so if you have downloaded everything and extracted them to the correct locations you can skip this first section.

    What you need (aside from the obvious) :

    A file archiver e.g. 7zip

    This page on FM-Base

    1. Download the NewGAN Manager installer from here using the blue Download button in the top right corner of the page.
    2. Use your file archiver to extract the Filters and Views folders you've just downloaded to your FM2020 directory (typically it will be ThisPC/Documents/SportsInteractive/FootballManager2020) and the Windows folder to your desktop.
    3. Go into the Windows folder on your desktop and install NewGAN-Manager-1.2.0.msi (This may bring up the Windows Defender Smart Screen warning message, don't worry, just click More Info and then Run Anyway) and click through the installation process.
    4. Download FMNNEWGANV2 facepack, this can be done using either the blue Download button in the top right to download the Torrent or by downloading via Mediafire at the bottom of the FM-Base post. I would recommend using Mediafire if you uncomfortable using Torrents. If you do download via Mediafire, be aware that it may take several hours to download as the file is quite big large.
    5. Once the facepack has downloaded, use your File Archiver to extract FMNEWGANV2 into your graphics folder in your FM2020 directory (If you don't have a graphics folder, just create one.)

    How to Replace Faces:

    1. Load your Football Manager 2020 save.
    2. Open the FM Menu in the top right corner and select Add New Manager
    3. Create a new Profile, it doesn't matter how you set them up, you can use any name, nationality, stats etc, however, you MUST have the new manager start as unemployed (There is an option for this at the top of the screen when you are prompted to choose a team to take over).
    4. Once your new manager has been loaded into the world, go to Shortlist, there you should see a list of every in the world, at the top of the list, next to where it tells you how many players are on the shortlist, there is a drop down menu, click on the menu and go to Custom->Import View and load SCRIPT FACE player search, NOT shortlist. The view will look very askew/unusual, don't worry, that's how it's supposed to look.
    5. The next step of the process will be slightly different depending on how far into a save you are. You will need to figure out how old the oldest Newgen will be in your save file. For example, if the year is 2020 and you've just received your first Youth Intake the Newgens will most likely be at most 17/18 years old. However, if you are 5 years into a save, the Newgens will be around 23/24.
    6. Once you have worked out the age of your oldest Newgens, add a filter to filter out all the players OVER that age, to do this you can either: Click the drop down arrow next to Add Condition, selecting Age and setting the Age At Most to the age you have worked out, or, clicking the Edit Search button in the top right and changing the max age. If you use the second method, make sure that the minimum age set is 15. The list of players should now be filtered down (You may notice a few real players still in the list e.g. Fati, Camavinga, don't worry, they'll be fine.)
    7. Click anywhere on the player list to highlight a player then press Ctrl+A to highlight every player on the list, this may take a few seconds as it is highlighting a LOT of players. Do not click on things such as the player name or nationality as this will take you away from the player search.
    8. Once all of the players are highlighted, press Ctrl+P, select Text File, and save the RTF file. It doesn't matter what you name the file. You can now retire you fake manager by going to Home -> My Profile -> Retire.
    9. Open NewGAN Manager, you can do this by pressing the Windows keys and Typing NewGAN into the search bar. Once you have opened NewGAN, create a new profile, again this can be named anything, after clicking create profile make sure the profile is selected in the Profile drop down menu.
    10. Click on the button next to Select Image Directory and direct it to the FMNEWGANV2 folder that you placed inside your Graphics folder
    11. Click the button next to RTF File and select the RTF File you made in step 8.
    12. Select Generate from the Mode drop down menu,
    13. This step is optional. if you want to make sure that you don't see the same face twice in a save, make sure the Allow Duplicates box is unticked. Personally, I allow duplicates for multiple reasons, the main ones being that because of the large amount of faces available you are unlikely to see/notice any duplicates in your save unless you are very unlucky, and allowing duplicate faces makes the process a lot quicker.
    14. Click Replace Faces and wait. As it is the first time you are doing this it may take a few minutes. Eventually you will get a message saying Finished. You can now close NewGAN Manager.
    15. Go back into Football Manager, open the FM Menu and go to Preferences.
    16. If you have not added any graphics to FM before, click over to the Advanced tab, and from the drop down menu select Interface. Scroll down and untick "Use Caching to Decrease Page Loading Times" and tick "Reload Skin When Confirming Changes in Preferences.
    17. Clear the Cache, some skins have a dedicated button for this, if yours does not, click on the menu on the bottom left of the screen, the Clear Cache option should be there.
    18. After clearing the cache, click the Reload Skin button. Again this may take a minute or 2.
    19. Search for a Newgen and he should be replaced with nice, new human face.

    Adding Faces to New Newgens:

    I personally like to update my pictures every year when I get a new batch of Youth Candidates. The following section will guide you on how to give them faces without losing your existing faces.

    1. Follow Steps 1-4 from the previous section.
    2. Follow Steps 5/6, HOWEVER, Instead of setting the players age to the maximum age a Newgen could be, set the maximum age to 17/18/the age of your oldest Youth Candidate without a face.
    3. Follow Steps 7-8. It is okay to overwrite the .RTF file
    4. Open NewGAN Manager, this time, instead of creating a Profile, select the already created profile from the drop down menu. The Image Directory and RTF file should already be selected.
    5. Select Preserve from the Mode drop down menu, this ensures that newly added players will be given faces and players who already have faces will keep theirs. Select if you want to allow duplicates.
    6. Follow Steps 14-19.

    Hopefully this guide is easy to follow, let me know if there is anything that you think could be cleared up a bit. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to help as much as I can.
