SWaRFeGa Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I sometimes do it if I have two foreigners with the same name. ie. Sami Muller and Steffan Muller. I just change it to their first name, to avoid any confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegaffer91 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Ive personally never used it, but i seem to remember that someone used to use it on their younger players to tell them if they were gonna be good prospects or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yep. I give quite a lot of my players nicknames Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Can be useful if any players have a particular name ie. Paul Gascoigne - Gazza But I can't think of many "actual" nicknames these days. I mean, Gazza was official. Newspapers used it, newsreaders used it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klimowicz Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 i had a brazillian called Claudio... something. i renamed him "Claudinei" after his form magically improved. i don't do it as much on fm08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I use it mostly for staff, Have their primary role in brackets, such as (Yth Scout), (Att Coach) - it helps when it comes to renewing contracts if you are ***** with names, especially the names of 'the little people' at your club I sometimes do it if i buy some foreign obscure player who has a particularly difficult name. I'll shorten it Brazilian style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

razner Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Scouting reports. I'll add several marks to the end of a player's names to mark threats or potential signings. This is useful also when facing other teams so that you can see their stronger players. Example: Player name [+] = Player is a good signing (better than a current player Player name [~] = Player is equal Player name [-] = Player is worse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryseaess Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I seem to remember that Jordi Cruyff used to have 'Jordi' on his shirt instead of Cruyff becuase he didn't want to be associated with his dad or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg razner *** to remind you how good your coaches reckon they are. Never actually done that myself tbh, but handy when you're getting to grips with a new team or go mad with transfers.

snugglecakes Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Back in the days of CM 00/01 I used it occasionally for Brazilian regens with double and triple barrelled names. Made it easier to remember who they were. I've got a mate who names his defenders "chopper" or his star striker "Mr Smooth" or whatever, but that's simply not my bag.

Ivegot99problemsand a dece Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have a habit of buying far too many brazillians, at the moment i have 3 Thiagos in the team, the barcelona player, another and a thiago `Heleno, Ive gone for double names, just to split them apart. In [previous games say cm4 I brought to Diegos, one who is not at Wender Bremen ansd some other guy who never made it, on enede up as Diego Jose and the one at bremen (I think) was Diego ribas, thos to made a fantastic AMC/FC partnership.

B. Stinson Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I've never used the nicknames feature. If I ever develop a name for someone, I just keep it in mind... no need to actually change his name to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I've just used it for pretty much the first time - I have Sergio Aguero and I've changed it to Kun Aguero since that's what he's called. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
