EA_mon_hello2 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 When you take over a team in any country, do you put down your true nationality or do you just use the same nationality as where you are managing? My reason for asking is that i believe this can have an effect on your first season in charge... Personally i put my true nationality (Sudan)and sometimes i put england as a second nationality...

velonce Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Australian (where I've lived for almost all my life), and 2nd Hong Kong (where I was born). Although it helps you get the national job for your country, I've never had the temptation to alter my nationality. It's fun to see on the VERY rare occurance that someone from Hong Kong is produced from my youth academy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsy1982 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I always put my true nationality which is English. I cannot put my true 2nd nationality though as the country is not on the game, Gibraltar. Its a shame because I heard UEFA was going to let them compete in the next round of EURO Championship qualifiers. Maybe I could get a game. Imagine that drawn in the same group as England and the first game is at Wembely, I get the ball and meg Steven Gerrard and crunch Wayne Rooney and then..............

millsy1982 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 In fact if I did play for the Gibraltar national side it would have at least one distinct advantage. When I start a new game on FM I can put my past playing experience as International Footballer and I would never have to feel guilty about doing it.
