QPR wont be a challenge as they have the money! Trying to keep spmeone like Burnley in the prem would be more of a challenge IMO. As a Newcastle fan, i'll have a quick save with them after the patch to get myself familiar again as obviously i know all the players. Soon after that though i'll be going with a sunday league rep, unemployed game with a few leagues and countries and just see where that takes me.

Phil Macklam Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've always tend to struggle with career games as I cannot really get into them for long before the boredom settles in. So I would like to start with Tottenham as I did in the demo but where's the real challenge as you're already in the Premier League? I fancy either making it myself or downloading a xml of the lower leagues down to level 10 or lower and trying out there but again it could become a real chore, as I just don't have the stickability to carry it on. So I may well go for AFC Wimbledon in the BS Premier or try a team just below the BS North or South in the file I make or download, thus level 7 as a starter? As is obvious I have no real idea who I want to be but I'd so love to try a career game and stick with it through to FM11 so a lower league team somewhere.

I'd like someone to edit up to level 8 if the English league, i could try to take Rugby Town to the top.

Gauvner Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I pre ordered my copy as soon as it came on the website. Think i may start out as Chesterfield (My Team) again.

encore69 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 i'll be starting as i usually do with my Newcastle side which will be a big challenge this year starting with no budget and a want away chairman with very few players.

Mojby Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It will definately be playing Liverpool as my favourite club but then I might go as Plymouth Arglye for a challenge. BTW - I have to wait until christmas to play the game as my kids always buy me FM for Christmas. God damn!! I was thinking about QPR and Notts Co and the 'money' they have, but do they have loads of money? The reason I ask this is that they have not exactly been bringing in top names have they (except Sol Campbell but he is at the very end of his career anyway so does not really count). Harder for Notts Co because of the league they are in but QPR I would have thought you would see some some more famous names coming into the team. I do not follow them so I could be wrong.

I appreciate your history of Posts, and have liked much of what you say but.... no - not a matter of opinion, a duplicate thread IS a waste of time and space, and that s a matter of fact. A matter of opinion is whether the actual idea for the thread is valid or not initially, and for what its worth the original thread started several weeks ago was valid in my opinion, the many, many, many indentical duplicate threads are not. I like to see the other side but really not in this case, hope you understand. Sorry if that offends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong, i do know what you mean and i know sometimes it can be frustrating, particularly patch/demo/game release question threads. It used to annoy me a lot more but then i just started thinking if a mod found it unsuitable it would be closed or moved or whatever. As this one hasnt been, then i guess in the eyes of the mods its fine, and i accept that and treat it as any other thread. BTW, you didnt offend. Everyone has a view, and a right to express them (within reason) even though they may differ. What i dont like, is when people turn personal, not that you have like, just in general . Poeple who take a debate to a personal level should be banned.

As I say, nothing against the OP, actually after your last post I looked for the other "Who will you manage" threads, there are many but I could not find any that had been active for several pages / days going back!, so I feel my initial post should have been a bit more lenient! Actually a very good original FM10 thread of that nature started when the initial FM10 release announcements were made, all those weeks ago!, and I loved it, posters were actually getting ideas from others and the flow of ideas in Post was much beter than the usual "Im Man U", "I'll be Chelsea" stuff with much expanding of the why and the expectations thereof. The threads duplicated following that all slipped back to being just a list of team names with no reasoning or conjecture, stealing the thunder from the good thread which then withered away due to being gazumped - hence my "reaction" to this thread and another started about a week ago. Anyway a little tempering of opinions on my part will not go amiss, give it 4 days and I'll dedicate that passion to the "442 Defensive or 41311 Attacking" debate. Cant chuffung well wait. By the way will be either St Etienne, Leeds, Southampton, Norwich, Nottm Forest, QPR or Leicester - I think! LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
