delboy Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 very funny christie....i like to prove hansen and his 'win nothing with kids' theory wrong. i've won 2 leagues, 2 north american champions leagues, the interliga and the champions trophy with my kids. and hopefully add the club world championship to that tally when i finally get round to playing the final!

Sam 45 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I had a player ask me for 0p/w, so when i thought i was being generous and offered him 90p/w he turned me down saying the deal was laughable! Very few highlights for my first attempt as Aberdeen manager, being 4-0 down to Celtic after 56 mins then level at 4-4 mins later probably my best effort.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I had that too - a player wanted 90 p/w, but when I thought I was being generous offering nearer 300 p/w, he came back all angry asking for 6k p/w! Told him where to go. (I actually just cancelled my offer.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 my game has started signing players i have no idea who they are! for example an 8 grand a week iranian international!!! very bizarre, about three came into the squad during the last transfer window!

Guest idol_wild Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 We should have an aberdeen-music network game.Or is that just obscene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 it would be impossible to get people to play at the same time.My leeds game is now in its 6th season, im sitting 4th in the prem and my average first team squad age is little over 21. This game makes up heaps of new players every season, just wait it out and you can get them for next to nothing.Ive managed to get jack wilshire on a free as well which was a huge bonus along with a brazilian neymar who is bagging them for fun. Turning over 30 mil profit a season and got the stadium up to 54,000 so i think i can break the top 4 in the next season or two.This for me is most def the best champ for a couple of years, just the number of new players means that every season you can improve your team rather than it stagnating after a couple of seasons.

Murrr Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd be up for nerding it up with a network game but we'd definitely need to curb the numbers. 3-4 max. should do the trick, any more and there's no chance we'd ever all be online at the same time to play.Done a couple of LAN games in my time, always a good laugh, especially when panic signing Russell Latapy dribbles passed two of your mate's brand new 15m defence and smashes one into the top corner .

soundian Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 The best way I've seen to run a network game is to choose a day and time, between 7.30 and 10.30 on a Tuesday for example. That way only one person has to commit to be there, the host. You'll be out of luck unless you upgrade anyway idol_wild, you need to be running the same version (including updates), as the host to play.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'd be interested. I can't afford FM09 just now and I can't be hooped continuing with FM08...Need to (annoyingly) register here (try searching Bugmenot.com - login with these free web passwords to bypass compulsory registration for a password if you can't be hooped registering):Home : Championship ManagerAnd the download link is half-way down the page. It first looks like it's just a download of the game itself (which it is), but once registered it'll give you the option to download an update patch.It is a free, official, and legal download.

Murrr Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 online version out in 10 days Football Manager Live: 4 Month Subscription - PC Games - GAME.co.ukIt's already out. You can get it from here:-FOOTBALL MANAGER LIVE - THE OFFICIAL WEBSITEI've played around with it and I can't say I like it too much. It's a whole different beast from Football Manager though in that you actually have to take the time to learn how to use new tactics and what not using skill points. The match engine is totally random, too.I don't think I'll be keeping my subscription, but if anyone signs up/is already signed up I'm managing the Granite City Wizards in the Shearer gameword. Boom.

Lemonade Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm still playing FM07, I meant to buy 08 but by the time I got round to it was almost time for 09 to come out so I just held off. I'm going to get 09 soon and promptly lose all my hobbies, interests, band, girlfriend..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I always play 4-4-2 Diamond with an attacking midfielder behind the strikers. The best players I've found in this position in FM07 are Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta who are both capable of around 10-15 goals a season from this position, and about the same in assists. Cahill is always my first signing.CM01/02. Colin Cameron playing behind Stan Collymore and Michael Bridges. Unstoppable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv tanned Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Picked it up in the Game sales, but have had precious little time to fire it up as being a daddy is taking up so much time!My laptop can handle the game but can't seem to cope with the 3D engine. I think I may be running too many leagues as well.I am guessing the injury bug is basically the fact that players drop like flies on a regular basis? I started a Man City game (just so I could spend lots of money) and within five games I have eight first team players out injured.I don't have internet access from my laptop so is there a way I can fix said bug?Or is it maybe the fact that I just have a very injury-prone squad?
