I want to come over and play! I used to rock at SWOS. It was near impossible to be a manager only though. Players would depreciate by half their value in less than a season!

framheim Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 the only thing that's frustrating me apart from the lack of real names is that i can't remember how to make a substitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 the only thing that's frustrating me apart from the lack of real names is that i can't remember how to make a substitution.Do you not pause the game, choose your subs, then they come on next time the ball goes out?

Guest idol_wild Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm sure on the Amiga version you had to press the 's' button or the spacebar to make a substitution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
