Gaming Football Manager 2010

The game really needs to tighten up in respect to team finishing way above their ability. The simulation of matches just isn't accurate enough for my liking.

I think there is also a serious issue with top clubs failing to maintain their status... of course clubs will suffer aberrations in real life ala Liverpool and maybe even turn to mid table obscurity. But seeing Chelsea and United drop out of the top 4 after a couple of seasons and teams like Villa/Everton/Spurs having these one season wonders and claiming the title are just shit.

There is a problem with regens to... not enough good players come through and are replaced.
 
How fecking retarded is this?

I'm top of the league, 31 games undefeated. In the final of the CC and semi of the FA.

Now I've just played Barca at the Nou Camp in the quarter final first leg. I went 1-3 up and then Mascherano after 50 mins, got sent off for the second time this week. Managed to hold on for a 2-3 win despite me missing a late penalty.

So after he got sent off the first time I issued him a warning - he said he was happy to change his ways etc...so then 3 days later he gets sent off against Barca in a crucial game, so I took one step up and fined him 1 weeks wages. BIG mistake, it upset my entire first team squad, they all want to leave! What a load of shite! They all hate me now. Incredibly retarded.

You've been Elvised
 
I fined Cattermole for getting sent of at 34 minutes against Liverpool (as Sunderland), and the entire team thought I was an ass for doing it. The next week, everyone decided they were fine with it after all.

I keep getting players speaking out in the press that they are concerned by the discipline problem. When I do something about it by warning or fining a player there are hissy-fits galore. Shit AI
 
I never do anything but issue warnings when punishing players, otherwise it'll all end in tears. But then occasionally I have players sulking about the lack of discipline at the club.

Actually SI has managed to capture the essence of the personality of the modern footballer ;)
 
You know you're playing FM when you sign Aguero and Essien and they are outplayed by a 47 year old you bought for a joke.

:lol: That's hilarious actually.

Had a tough time avoiding promotion to the PL as my squad wasn't up to it, had to play an outfield player in goal to avoid it.

Joke signings :lol:

I bought Neil Webb in FM2007 when he was 43, from some 6th tier side. He played in the reserves, and got a couple of games in damp squib CL group stages before retiring.

Longer ago, I bought a guy called Jon Petersen from a Faeroe Islands club (I don't know if he was a real player or not - I think the game was CM00/01). He was a striker who ended up banging about 20 goals in in his first season. I don't know if it was because he was playing in a team with the treble winning side, plus Fat Ronaldo and some others, but even though his stats were crap, he turned out to be a warrior. After a couple of seasons someone bougt him for £16 mil
 
Anyone know of a decent database for FM 2008 that starts the game at this season just gone?

You can't really do that kind of thing anymore. There's no leeway with the board or the fans regarding poor signings. I've bought wonderkids before that has displeased the board.



Anyhoo. 32 games unbeaten, won the league already and the CC, in the final of the FA cup and semis of CL against Chelsea. But my final fixtures have me playing 5 games in 7 days, including those semis in the CL. Plus Gerrard and Torres are out long term, so is Pastore. Think I may have to forfeit the unbeaten season attempt to win in other competitions :/

Gotta love this game.


Going to lose my unbeaten record away at the mighty Wolves, I'm currently losing 3-0 (!).

Kevin Ronaldo Doyle is amazing.

Your problem with this game is that Liverpool are about to have a silly loss away from home to competition they should beat?

So not the fact that Liverpool won the league with 6 games to go, and went unbeaten in that period?

I mean, I complain too, but to complain that you're finally losing after going undefeated for a very long time, and somehow blame the game?

Er, because my Liverpool team had smashed everyone, when all of a sudden there is a freak game where shit Wolves players play like 1970's Brazilians. Sorry for complaining about your game.

Yes, because that never happens. Good teams never have good runs, and then have one very bad game that no one saw coming. Gosh, you're right :lol:
 
same old FM full of whining players. I won 7-0 in a pre season friendly over some lower div side and forgot to praise the players in the team talk. They all started to speak out saying I wasn't giving the team enough credit ffs!

That bit does seem to be a bit temperamental. It doesn't take much for your players to feel unappreciated – As soon as you omit an overzealous pat on the behind with a ‘Well done mate’ they will all turn into a bunch of Anelka’s.

Does anyone here just not give a shit about the pre-match and post-match press conferences? I mean it’s a nice touch and all, but does anyone do them? Don’t we all just send our assistants instead? Morale is just such a touchy issue in this game you don’t want to say anything that could drop a pretty green arrow into a mediocre orange. It’s a pity really because Morale seems to be the driving force behind good performances and the best way to keep it up is to praise the team after every match and say nothing of any meaning in press conferences… it’s all a bit repetitive.. I’m just a robot with preprogrammed responses because I know nothing else works. Once in a while I’d like to give the team a Fergie hairdryer following a 3-0 defeat and see the Morale skyrocket with motivation rather than cause some form of mass depression throughout my squad.
 
Yeah the team talks just become a repetitive nuisance after the first 3-4 times you have done them. I always leave them to the assistant.

I've always thought they should bring out an add on for this game, where you can perform proper shady dealings, bribery, corruption, gambling, tell your players to take dives etc. Could make it a bit more interesting at least. In much the same way I have always thought they should remake Mutant League Football, but as an actual football game instead of crappy American football. There is surely a massive market for the people who combine MLF with Fifa? It could be to football games what Mario Karts is to racing games

This was somewhat similar to what you've described. It had no longevity though. After the tenth or so red card, it gets a bit old.

Nah that's not what I mean. Red card schmed card. In Mutant League Football you had teams of like Ogres and Skeletons. And you used a spiked ball. And you basically just got to blow each other up, stamp each other into the ground, fry the ref. The pitch would look like a battle ground afterwards, and I'm pretty sure you could win by wiping out the entire opposition team. It was brutal. It was chaos. It was madness. It was brilliant.

But like Mario Karts, the idea was still to finish the race- ie score more goals. So the general principle of football wouldn't be lost, in amongst all the blood, gore and limbs. I'm telling you, there is a market for it.
 
Also I ahve just discovered they also made a Mutant league Hockey. I wonder why they never made a Mutant League 'Soccer'?

Sounds a bit (a lot) like Blood Bowl.

So basically you just want some sort of gay, sci-fi, warlocks and dragons thing mixed/footy hybrid.

You are quite literrally the worst, Smashed. I hope you get punched in the nose repeatedly in Bath.

Twat.

I'm so tempted to sign him, but I have Reina and Hart and I'm over my wage budget already.

FM is cruel in that sense. You get the temptation of great players on the cheap.

I often sign too many good players and wanting to play everyone it just fecks up the team.
 
Here's a slice of irony for you lot:

I'm not sure whether I'm honoured or insulted... selling Old Trafford for a new arena, naming it after me and saddling me with more debt... I was 30 some mill away from clearing it, for feck's sake!

Still, I've been managing 100,000 attendees the past few seasons... Would be neat to go up to Old World Football numbers... 120 summat thousand, wowee!
