RedCafe FM10 Experiment

We did PPMs last time as well.

I suppose we could do it that way, if you think it'd be best. Would we still start at 15 and with perhaps 100 CA? As long as everyone knows that they player they make will never turn out quite like what they input if they input high attributes for everything, it should be fine. Also, I'm fairly sure it has some effect, as long as you have some sort of weighting (like you put 19 for the stats you want highest, and "only" 14 for some, and then even lower for those you don't want.

The player won't turn out exactly like that, but if you want a really fast player you can still probably get one. At least it would save me a lot of work in checking that no one has too high or too low attributes :lol:

So do people want another experiment, then? I'd happily set one up, though it wouldn't start running quite yet. Or perhaps it would, but the first few updates wouldn't be daily, to put it like that. Exam season ;)

Not to mention how much easier it is to pass the experiment along to someone else if I don't have the time at all, for whatever reason, compared to the club one.
 
My God. Caf Dungeons and Dragons. Knew it smelled like Hot Pockets in here from time to time between airings.

Speaking of airings, I'll handle the TV rights negotiations with Sky, FSN, ESPN, Setanta and the like. To that end I'll be needing an expense account, a Lear, and possibly a yacht - not sure about the yacht yet - to get you all the best deal possible, so please take care of those items ASAP.
 
I think we should make those things optional, in case someone wants to make a proper bastard. I would strongly advise everyone to have high determination and professionalism though. I'm fairly sure both of those directly affect whether or not a player is actually likely to hit his potential. If you put 1 professionalism, odds are he won't improve at all. But controversy, loyalty, adaptability, etc, can all make for a pretty interesting player. I'm considering something like that for my own player.

Do we want to do something different from last time with the clubs? Last time we all started in random third (I think) tier clubs in Spain, England or Italy. Do the same? Perhaps we could include Germany, France, perhaps Netherlands. I'll have all of those on "playable", so that player and team awards are given. Hell, maybe we could have everyone start in a completely random club (in the league system) from their home nation. So if you're from Scotland you could start in Rangers or Forfar Athletic (bless Wikipedia), or anything else. How's that sound?
 
Sounds great niMic. Start a new thread whenever you're ready i say.
