Gaming Football Manager 2009

Sorry i didn't register my interest before, but if it's possible and you have the time could i be in this as well?

Yeah, sure. 1 more or less is going to make little difference when there's already like 15.


Hmm.. I was going to make myself a striker, but there's quite a few attacking players already, and it's no fun if everyone is the same (though to be fair, most of the attacking players are in different attacking positions). Not that I'm going to be much help to Norway in this game, as England is going to win everything after about 4-5 years. My last game also had a few English people, but that was a little more balanced nationality-wise (though there were an abundance of Dutchies, which made them the best in the world).
 
Cheers mate.

Alright then boys, and in the unlikely event, girls. I'm in the conference north, any decent players that i could get on loan that would be willing to come to that low a league.
 
Aargh.....laptop crashed and needed me to restart and it hadn't got round to the monthly save yet, so back at Birmingham, it's nice to know though that AC Milan would be interested. I guess I could declare interest and force their hand, but that doesn't seem right. Just have to hope the chance comes round again.

Mate, make me a Norwegian. Be a good laugh and seeing as you are going to the effort i'd like to do my bit in helping out your country. :D
 
I have changed my nationality, will be shit if England actually win something :lol:
 
re: You must give every stat a number, you can't enter 0. You can use "1" a total of 5 times, and you can only use 16 or over 2 times.

is that 16 or over 16 in only 2 attributes per section (mental, physical, etc)?
 
The Football Experiment

Okay, might as well get started. I'll do the "start out as youngsters in random clubs" one, as that's the one I've done before, and I've got it mostly worked out. If it goes well, there's not a too long stretch from the players you make for this and the players you can have if I do a "same club" idea. I've also got a rather ambitious club/manager/league sort of idea which I might want to try if this is a success, but all in due time!

Here's what I need from you, if you still want to "play":

General:

Name: Legend Paz
Date of Birth (not year, we'll all be 1993): 20/08
City of Birth (optional): London
Nation: England
Position (you can pick two 'natural' ones, like DR/DL or CM/DM); you don't have to pick two, though): MR/ML

Preferred Squad Number (you can pick the same as someone else, doesn't matter): 7 or 11
Disliked clubs (I won't do favoured clubs (so everyone but Spammy doesn't end up at United), but everyone can pick 2 disliked clubs): Liverpool, Man City
Preferred foot (left/right 1-20): 19/20
Height/weight (optional):



Attributes:

You must give every stat a number, you can't enter 0. You can use "1" a total of 5 times, and you can only use 16 or over 2 times.

Mental Attributes - 155 points

Finishing: 11
First Touch: 14
Free Kicks: 1
Heading: 2
Long Shots: 15
Long Throws: 1
Marking: 4
Passing: 15

Acceleration: 15
Agility: 5
Balance: 9
Injury Proneness: 1
Jumping: 4
Natural Fitness: 15
Pace: 18
Stamina: 12
Strength: 11


We'll start out at 110/200. It's very high for players that are so young, but then we're supposed to be top class talents. Odds are we won't be messing around in the lower levels for too long (though being picked up too early is also a potential problem. In the last one I did a guy who got picked up by his favourite club, Real Madrid, very early, was actually one of the latest to develop fully. He just didn't get enough first team action).

The "Person Data Attributes" will be the same for everyone, and here's what I'm thinking.

Adaptability: 20
Ambition: 20
Controversy: 15
Determination: 20
Loyalty: 5
Pressure: 20
Professionalism: 15
Sportsmanship: 10
Temperament: 20.

Should make for an interesting game.


Preferred Moves - Pick up to three

Tries Killer Balls Often
Gets Into Opposition Area
Shoots Long


If there's any questions, feel free to ask. Hopefully I haven't missed anything vital. And no cheating! :D

above
 
ps. if you can name me just 'Paz' (as in Ronaldinho, Robinho, Kaka, etc) then that'd be perfect!
 
Here's "me". I started out with the intention of being a RB/MR, but those tackling/marking attributes just kept slipping down as I adjusted, so eventually there wasn't really any point anymore. Possibly I should have given some more technical attributes for us to spend, but this will still be good. What's missing will just be trained up anyway. Either way we'll probably all make 200 ability due to our determination and relatively high professionalism.

Oh, and I'd like to warn in advance that you might not come out exactly the way you made yourselves. That is, you'll be almost the same, but due to attributes weighting related to positions and other stuff that no one but FM Researchers really understand, some stats might be a bit higher or a bit lower. It'll still be the same player, with the same weaknesses and strengths. I can't wait to start running it :D

I don't think I've made any mistakes with the addition. I'll have to go through all the players to make sure no one made a mistake (not that I think anyone cheated, but I very nearly made some mistakes myself :p).

Oh, and let me know if you edit something on your guy after you've posted in the thread. I'm going to start entering players now, so if you don't mention it I might miss the change.

There's 3 16s there niMic, follow your own rules :p

Aaah! I thought I'd fixed it. I changed the over 16's quite a few times.

Sorry :lol:


Hey Nimic, can I be in your experiment too?

Sure, the more the merrier. Well, the more the longer between updates after a few (in game :nervous:) years, but there's a bigger chance our better selves will meet eachother in the game. So it's all good :D
 
Okay, I've used random.org to get a random selection of clubs. To make things easier (guilty), I decided to just put us in English League Two clubs, as opposed to all over. We'll end up all over the world soon enough anyway, so no point making it more complicated than it needs to be. To spice things up a bit (:nervous:), I didn't specify 1 player per club.


1. Cina ---> Dag & Red
2. x42bn6 ---> Aldershot Town
3. uae ---> Exeter City
4. AlwynP ---> Shrewsbury Town
5. R.Nilsson7 ---> Morecambe
6. CrazyBelgian ---> Exeter City
7. The Law of Denis ---> Darlington
8. Solius ---> Shewsbury Town
9. EdWeatherall ---> Notts County
10. cw1984 ---> Lincoln City
11. Walrus ---> Darlington
12. Anderson Searl ---> Notts County
13. Leg-End ---> Bradford City
14. Xander45 ---> Bury
15. niMic ---> Lincoln City
16. Paz ---> Bury
17. UBERScholes ---> Exeter City

I haven't started it yet, though, so there's still time for any stragglers to sign up.
 
me and Denis gonna be tearing it up at Darlington then? Excellent.

I supppose Cheltenham are in league 1 in your game still? Too bad, I have lived there for the last 10 years or so, wouldve been swanky to play for them in the FM game. You should get some screenshots in of the top scorers and so forth at the end of the first season!
 
Face it Walrus, everyone knows Exeter's where it's at

I just hope we don't all leave during one of the first two transfer windows! Keep in mind that we're all 14-15 with a very low reputation, so we might not get to play a lot. We might, I really haven't a clue. But yeah, I'll definitely try to keep track of stats that one or more of us make a mark on. :D

Okay, I've been adding people, and I see some small mistakes. Not too big a deal (a very small deal, actually), but unless you want me to fix it for you, let me know what you want instead.

Cina has 2 points left in Mental Attributes, but has 1 point too much in Technical Attributes.


R.Nilsson7 has 5 points left in Technical Attributes.


I was going to add and check all the players now and give everyone the chance to fix any issues, but the Editor just crashed on me after adding 7 players without saving, so I'm going to go to bed now. I might cry, I might not. We'll see.

Anyway, since I hope to be able to start tomorrow, I ask that you go over your attributes real quick with a calculator (or a smart brain) and make sure they add up.

:boring:
 
oh man, soo close to being at Barnet, however, Bury ain't bad, not too far from Man United ;)

ps. if you have too many English then I'd be happy to have an 'Indian' nationality
 
Why them?

They're the closest team to where i live and they're a challenge. It's no fun starting with unlimited money and winning everything in the first season. Where do you go from there?

Hey Paz, seems we're on the same team. You set em'up and i'll keep em out.
