Can We One Day Have Scandals?

I'm going to guess that licensing will prevent this but here goes anyway.

Wouldnt it be cool to be able to tap up players and have illegal meetings with them to discuss a future move to your club.

You could instigate the players into submitting transfer list demands at their current club, at a risk of being found of by the FA and such of course.

No. What would be the point?

I don't think it's the licensing. I think it's the threat of possible law suits

I suppose it could happen further on in the game when there are regens?

The point would be to mimic real life. Im not saying you can persuade every player to all of a sudden demand a transfer move, but tapping up players is a part of the football.

An area I doubt SI would want to visit anyway.

It's not, that's why they don't let people do it.

Ability to offer pre-contracts would be interesting though.

Why would you want to mimic everything in real life when a lot of it shouldn't even be in real life?

Next you'll be wanting rac ism in there.

Why did Chelsea just get banned from the transfer market then?

Rules are there to be broken at a price of course.

Only during games where spain are playing

Wasn't this in a previous release? Of some game of this genre at least. Probably FIFA Manager

No. I do remember a game where you could bribe the officials and opposition manager though, you could even go down the bookies and have a bet on your team losing 5-0.

That was Ultimate Soccer Manager 98.

Yeah thats the one, it was a licensed product too wasnt it? Didnt have fake player names as I can remember.

What the hell has hate got to do with tapping up players.

Both practices that shouldn't be anywhere near the game, or football.

Why are you people living with a lie instead of the reality?

All clubs tap up players, Damn I am convinced the team I support indirectly own at least seven african clubs.

Your acceptence of this type of practice highlights how big the problem is.

The fact that SI try not to include the more... unsavoury aspects of the sports ie tapping up, rasicm, riots etc makes this a non-starter really.

There are certain things that should stay out of the game and this is one of those.

Still .. this thread has nothing to do with it nor did the OP suggest it would be a good idea to bring into FM.

It's like me saying

"Next you will want to bring footballers roasting girls into FM"

Totally irrelevant.

Anyways, I don't think FM like too highlight anything really wrong with football and that's the main reason it would not be brought into the game, Me personally think if done right it could work and possibly add a nice little surprise to ones career.

"nice"?

See my last post.

no but i see a problem when you suggest to him that he would like racism in the game as well

And his response to that post tells its own story.

It paints a picture sure, Perhaps I can descirbe that picture for you. The canvass is inadvertantly accussed of being racist, Yet it brushes such notions aside with humour because the accussation cannot be taken seriously even one little bit. Basically the picture is saying it cares not for the accussations but the wonderful brush strokes upon its canvass.

Nope - I didn't accuse you of being racist, same as I didn't accuse you of tapping up players.

Then explain what kind of story my response created for you? Dont be shy, do elaborate for me as so I can understand what you mean.

Let's keep this on topic please.

You found humour in the idea that a game that reaches well over a million people (and that's just official sales) would condone racism. You have to remeber how far this game reaches and how much influence it can have over its fanbase.

It would be irresponsible for SI to include this sort of thing in the game.

To be honest Neji I dont think some people here can discuss this in a sensible way, might be better to lock and move on.

he never mentioned the word until you came in and without reason suggested he would like to see it in the game too

Yes, in this case it was a device used to show the absurdity of the original suggestion. Not an accusation.

But what has racism got to do with tapping up footballers? If anything is absurd its how you tried to point out your view.

Ignored warning to keep it on topic, closed.
