Insert_Goal_Here Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Strange question really, but how many of you use your actual name on the game? I always did, but i started a game the other day and used an alias, Since then i won the league suffering only one defeat and also took the cup. My best result ever.

Almondo Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I usually do but on my Real London CSE save I used a variation on my surname and have had 2 successive promotions and won Blue Square south and Premier and am top of League 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

looknohands Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Used my name the first play through, but got mad when my Hall of Fame carried over into a new game. So I got the brilliant idea of spelling my name backwards (Nivek Reltub) so now I sound European. Once I figured out that you can delete the HoF data I used my name again, before getting tired of seeing how great I was (why does life mock me thus?) and I now go with my favorite singer, Mike Patton.

Insert_Goal_Here Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I feel like that, Ah well, challenge is when i get him to the top, create my proper self and beat myself all over again, probably end up with split personality disorder.

tomsmith1989 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I always use my real name. Tom Smith is quite common, and I like to see how many people I am a favoured personnel of, but it doesn't just come up with me, it includes tommy smith (played, or still plays, for Watford) so the it isn't too clear which is a tad annoying. Also, it isn't too clear if a Smith comes through my youth team if he is my son or not, but I like using my real name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert_Goal_Here Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 well my real name is Matthew Taylor, so considering i'm already in the game, so i went with David Arnold Murdoch. Nobody is going to have that now are they Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
