The RedCafe FM Experiment

19 goals :cool:

Keep up the fantastic work

:cool:

probably most of them thanks to some fantastic foreplay by the Walster.


also, i would love to get a copy of the savefile just so i can run it through GenieScout for my own amusement.
 
excellent stuff niMic
 
Great update. Enjoyed reading it, didn't expect so many to make it to the Premier League
 
Glad you all like it, I quite enjoy writing it! Though I have to start forcing myself to do it a little bit at a time, instead of trying to sit down and write 23 summaries :lol:
 
niMic what leagues did you actually make active in this by the way?

I'd hate if m'boy got thrown into some shit league that isn't active. He's m'boy for fecks sake!

Italy, England and Spain fully - Holland, France and Germany view only. That way I can still keep an eye on it if some of us end up in Holland, France or Germany (very likely some will go to Germany), and I can have stats like top scorer and awards for the big 3.

With hindsight, I should probably have included Scotland on view-only. It's unlikely we'll end up anywhere more obscure, at least not for more than half a season or two. We'll simply be too good. I suspect even the Rangers crowd won't stay there for very long.
 
Great work nimic.

15 league goals but only worth 90k! I"m also regretting setting my nationality as Indian, forgot about potential work permit issues.
 
Good job niMic. Hopefully my player will break into the Blackburn set up soon enough
 
The next update might or might not be somewhat delayed. After the virus/malware scare of a few days ago, I've now got a blue screen of death scare. They're probably unrelated. Actually, what I think it is related to is the Net Framework I had to install to get the FM Real Time Editor to work. I'm installing drivers and shit now, so if I get it to work today the delay won't be big. If there's a hardware problem...

What you're trying to say is don't panic... yet.

What would the timeframe be if all goes to plan? An update every couple of days?

Maybe not every couple of days, but every few days, yeah. In a couple of weeks my school starts, though, and we'll start having big careers in the game. At that point the rate of updates might slow down a bit.
 
Heh, how things changed. 20 minutes ago I typed up a post saying I hadn't fixed the problem despite everything I had tried, and it might postpone the update by quite a bit. Then even that failed posting, for some reason, and my depression deepened.

Then I finally got around to installing IE7 and SP3 (needed the IE), thinking it couldn't hurt. It didn't. It seems to be the problem, though I'm still slightly scared to reboot my computer, in case it comes back again. After all, I don't really understand why my computer suddenly decided it really needed SP3 after all this time without it. If the problem had been a hardware issue, I'd at least be sure of it, and be able to fix it.

My computer, the terrorist.

Anyway, the update will be somewhat delayed, considering I've done nothing but trying to fix my computer today (literally), but it'll still only be days.
 
Maybe we could start some kind of 'Buy Nimic a new, working computer' fund?*

*I can't make any donations btw
 
I would like to see an Australian version with the likes of posthumous Johnno, cescs mullet, myself, all those other aussies i forgot, we can start at A-League clubs.
 
Hey niMic, hows the computer doing? Hopefully Spammy hasn't broken it.

It's been surprisingly good to me. Now I don't even have to have it horizontal to boot, which I've had to do for the last few weeks. The update won't be out until at least tomorrow though, on account of me spending all of yesterday driving for 5 hours, and then cleaning, and me spending all of today doing some more cleaning, and then moving "house" (student accommodations stuff).
 
I'll do it on FM2008, if there's a way to just leave it to simulate without me having to mash continue a thousand times.

I ran the last one for around 20 seasons, I'm not sure I'd bother doing that if I had to hit space for every day :lol:

Edit: Oh, and here's a tip for you; add the players (from their profile screen) to your bookmarks.

Oh joy. I hope niMic doesn't mind if I ape his idea for the aussie lads on here...

Nah, I actually wouldn't mind seeing how it is from the other side (reading it) :p
 
Looking forward to the next update, I expect my guy hasn't kicked on much more.
