tom_numbers Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 As you can tell, this isn't a serious thread. Frankly, if you call your game the default "Game01", then you're going to have to either leave, or make something up. So what do you call your game? My current network game is 'footballmanagerruinedmydegree', and with my first exam now in 3 days, I hope I haven't tempted fate. Have you ever given your game a name in the hope that it will somehow subconciously make you do better, (instantly calling it "Legend at Leeds", so confident of your success)?

L7M Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Usually I just call it whatever team I am managing. I start alot of new games so i'd lose track of which game is which if I didn't do it. My Current one is "YidArmy!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewyFun Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I name mine after something I hear while playing the game, whether it's a song lyric or a quote from a TV show. Though I often forget what each of my saves are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0x0r Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm relatively boring, naming them based on team name. The only one that raises the misses's eyebrows is the fact I manage the mighty Arsenal, and like using 4 letter shortenings where poss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got to get through this week without playing and get some quality work done. That'll be easy enough:confused: Well, maybe just half an hour before I go to bed. And when I get up.

jayahr Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 In every version of FM, my first save is called 'First'. The others are named about as witty, like 'career' or '*club name*' or 'LLM', which would infuriate LLaMas if they knew what I class as LLM for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggy33 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I generally have the save game as the name of the team, but I currently have Rubin, Rubin Kazan, Rubin Kazan 2015, Rubin.2 all in my save game folder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brod_104 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm similar to a lot of other post's on here - I tend to save it with the name of the club I'm managing (usually Liverpool). However, I've just started a new game with the challenge of taking a team from the 10th tier of English football to the pinnacle of club football, so I've saved it as Bottom's Up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duccio Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have a system. My save game name might look something like this: Bath City - 7 - 17 - 3 - C Obviously the team name in the beginning is who I'm managing. I separate saves from each other using aplhabets (among others), so that is the C at the end of the name. To the left of the C is a number that signifies how many times I've gone through the alphabets - I save often. The next one to the left is the season (year, as in 16/17) I'm in and the next one is how many seasons I've been managing (might vary if I've holidayed at the beginning).
