How to bypass football manager from news update

The eternal quest to bypass the news updates in Football Manager!

There are a few methods to bypass the news updates in Football Manager, but please note that using these methods may affect the game's balance and realism. Here are a few approaches:

  1. Disable News Updates:
    • Go to the "Settings" menu, then select "Game Settings" and scroll down to the "News" section.
    • Uncheck the box next to "News Updates" to disable them.
    • This will prevent news updates from occurring, but you'll still receive other types of updates, such as match reports and transfer rumors.
  2. Use the "News Update Delay" Option:
    • In the same "Game Settings" menu, look for the "News Update Delay" option.
    • Set the delay to a high value (e.g., 1000 or more) to slow down the news updates.
    • This will give you more time to react to news updates before they occur, but you'll still receive them eventually.
  3. Use the "Pause News Updates" Cheat:
    • Press F12 to open the cheat menu.
    • Type "pause news updates" and press Enter.
    • This will pause news updates until you restart the game or unpause them.
  4. Use a Third-Party Editor:
    • There are several third-party editors available that allow you to modify the game's database and settings, including the news updates.
    • One popular option is the "FM Editor" by Sports Interactive, which allows you to customize various game settings, including news updates.
  5. Use a Script:
    • You can use a script to automate the process of bypassing news updates.
    • For example, you can use a script to pause news updates at the start of each matchday, then unpause them after the match.

Remember that using these methods may affect the game's balance and realism, so use them at your own discretion.
