How's this look?
All looks great to me, liking the player profiles graphic. One thing that is bugging me is it looks like the score itself on the graphics are not central, not sure of it's the 0 in the 2-0 scoreline.
The transfer graphic is well done too, usually they can be very noticeable when you do PIADS (player in a different shirt) but in this case it's clean
Thanks. Yeah I'll fix up the score, it was bugging out when I was trying to line it up, not sure why but, I'll fix it later 😅
I need to get PS back to do proper PIADS, only so much I can do in PowerPoint, but this one turned out well
I'm going to keep it simple this year and stay with making graphics in excel. No idea how guys like @Ashy make great looking graphics and not have it take 4 hours.
With the ability to sim/jump into games, I want to get through a few seasons and move around as a manager so keeping graphics simple while looking nice is my plan.
Ashys been pumping out sick graphics for years now haha, just do it however you like it

I’ve been debating making the background white or with color. Since I just use google sheets, I can’t get too fancy making it transparent but I might lean towards making the background white so it is a “cleaner” look.
Thanks.
Any thoughts?
I just started a story and to be fair this is already a big boost of help.
Now can I post a link to take advice or is this considered advertising?
I don't see why you can't post a link for advice. No different than making a thread and posting on here I would say.
Here it is

I guess I need more pics? Any flaws in my writing? Is it obvious I am a foreigner? (non-English-native).
Any simple graphic tools to use?
Can you post an empty template?
Btw @chris I blanked the template myself if you were going to do it then you don't have to anymore, great template brw
Yea this forum was really active a few years ago and every year it is dropped down. I think people just got sick of the same FIFA issues year after year.
I will try my best
Any feedback? I added some scoresheets
I know it is possible that it's because I am new and I need to be consistent to have people following it, but in this case, I know I am doing something wrong. I have seen the Dallas, NY red bull, and Dusseldorf stories, similarily the Arsenal non-negotiables and the spurs rebuild. Please put me on the right path any advice is very much appreciated even if it's critics.
I can try critique your story if you like
Also you are probably doing nothing wrong it's just very quiet in here so don't expect replies after every update, at best you'll have 'silent viewers' these will click on your story and read the update but not comment, there are maybe 2-3 active people including you at best on here right now so I'd definitely try post it elsewhere if you are looking for interaction but also I'd update it and post here as a secondary thing.
You would have loved this place 5 years ago, you would have at least 10 active stories, get multiple replies each day and we had about 15 or so regulars following each others story, going back even further you struggle to keep your story on the first page there were so many.
I still think there is a place for career mode stories in this format because you can let your imagination run and do all sorts of graphics etc which cannot be done with YouTube for example but the community is dead here.
