charlo116 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I just started my second season with Liverpool and with my new intake of youth i checked the assisstant reports and my best two are a MC with the potential to be as good as Gerrard and a CB with the potential to be as good as Carra! What a coincidence! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officer Rex Bishop Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I thought it was only me who thought this You're not. Does your scout also say they have potential to fail miserably on the international stage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Did this really have to descend in to another slanging match If you're looking in the coach report then it will always compare them to your best player, so it's not really a suprising message. If it's in their personal description that they are "labelled the next Gerrard" or "Could be the next Carragher" that's more of a good find Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 In FM08 the players that had 'Could be the next...' in their personal description never really went on to be world class players though did they? Has this changed in FM09? Has anyone had a youngster fulfill their potential in the comparison they have been given? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 "Could be" was never as good as "Labelled the next" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ahhh ok, it's just that I remember reading a thread ages ago about how players with these personal descriptions never actually went on to be as good as the player they were being compared to. Just wondered if this wasn't the case on FM09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've had a "labelled the next Christian Vieri" and he's doing pretty well so far. I think the problem with FM08 was that regens were more than a little bugged, much improved on in 09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ok cool, nice to know. Means I can start looking for those type of players now with the hope that they can become as good as their comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbrahimAliMaher Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've had a "labelled the next Christian Vieri" and he's doing pretty well so far.I think the problem with FM08 was that regens were more than a little bugged, much improved on in 09. I'm relieved to hear you write that as I just spent 7 million on a 16 year old who has been dubbed the new Christian Vieri, my scouts reckon he has the potential to be as good as Abeyor/Ashton who are both top drawer strikers. This description surprised me a little though, as this regen is a quicky, pacy player whereas Vieri was a bit more of beast and good in the air. Also I was in a contest with Milan to sign another player dubbed the new Vieri, they won but I've heard nothing of him since... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
