Football Manager 2009 Network Game

i only got the game and so far i am fecking shit


so you can count me in
 
Right, can somebody explain how a network game works? I'm new to it :)
 
I'm in. How about another league instead of the Premiership?

nilson your in the other game, you backstabbing cnut.

:D we attempted spain in last years spin off, didnt go too well has to be said. doing an international tourny is great tho, spesh since I won the last one :D

The spain one went brilliantly, I led Atletico to the top of the table :D
 
I'll be up for a network game if one goes down. Think we should stick to England mind
 
I'll be up for it so long as we don't have these 'randomised' draws which aren't actually randomised but instead the person who is carrying out the draws just picking teams for each person, and conveniently landing himself the best team.

Apparently from a shoe.

I got Everton, not exactly the best team, and i can assure you my draw was completely random.

How else would we have a "fair" draw anyway?
 
The idea of championship teams is very appealing...What we all saying? Can I get a raise of hands so I can see whos interested...

Brads idea is good looking for times where we are all more likely to be free. Monday evenings, Thursday evenings, Sunday evenings are most ideal for me. WHat rule did you you have last time with how many people had to be online to continue?
 
The trouble we though of with Championship teams is the relegation and promotion, there could be people in every league which could jumble it up a bit too much
 
I'll play, i'm not sure whether playing in the Championship will work though, as Reddevil said we could have people in 3 different leagues in the 2nd season, which i think would slow it down (?) would probably vote for the Premiership. I'll go with the flow though. Monday, Thursday and Sunday is good for me too.

Think it was 3 online. But that's no good, I'd want to know when we're going to play, then I can make time available for it. No good coming in and finding everyones played 5 games, when you would have played had you known

That killed the first one. Well that and he forgot to change games so they didn't move to TV times

Ah, but this happend in the 08 game and no one minded so we kept the rules the same. Also that wasnt just down to the host, every player had to un-check and check the boxes.
 
I see...I like big 5 then. Any one can win it, and other people can join as clubs like Spurs if they fancy the challenge.

Why have the big 5? that would give an unfair advantage to the big 5 just keep it as we used to do it, (no one can be the big 4)
 
Big 4, Man City make it a big 5. So why not have 5 people at those clubs.>>>> Or do the championship, if you get relegated you're automatically sacked. 3 promotion spots, if you're good you should be getting promoted by the 1st or 2nd season. We need this decided.
 
I think I'll avoid this one. Good luck with it though.

Gives a huge unfair advantage. If you get relegated you get a the equivelent side that got promoted. Doing championship will fail imo but as solius said >

I think I will do the same
 
I'll play when we hit summer...

Will have feckloads of spare time.

Last year was a laugh.
