sporadicsmiles Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Do you stick to what you know, or go with the currency of the country your current club belongs to? I like to change currency as I change clubs, adds a sense of realism to what I do. Also I can call it learning about other cultures as I play, which means I can justify playing when I should be doing other things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporadicsmiles Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 I figured most people would. I did for every version I have played up til FM10, but I decided to try it this way. I find it relatively straightforward once I get used to the exchange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Stinson Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I always switch according to where I'm managing. The light touch of realism is more enjoyable for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril Washbrook Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm Australian but I always use the pound. When I follow real-life football news, it's usually on a European sports website, meaning that they use either euros or pounds. It makes sense to apply that to FM too.

SSGTroyer Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I started my FM life in '05 with a French team, so I chose the euro. In later editions, I've managed in England, but stuck with the euro since that's what I was used to. Never even thought about using the American dollar...

solstar Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'd love an option to be available for the currencies to change once you manage in another nation. Basically because for the gamer it makes no difference but it would add a little more realism and they could have a convertion done on the news item. Eg. Buffon moves to Paris for 22m Euros and then the news item saying in brackets how many Pounds. Also for the interviews and press conferences, it would be cool to have the game initially asking in the country language and then as you learn the language it changes. This is more like what happens irl, you will just send the assistant thereby making your job a little more difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm American, but I always change to the pound; I also chance the language to the UK's English (whatever it's called in game) so that I can hear about my players concentrating on their football instead of on their soccer. I leave measurements in feet and weight in pounds, though, because I can't convert from metric in my head on the fly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerpuss Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use the Euro because it's my currency and Europe's currency and I've never managed in a country than doesn't have the Euro (I hate managing in England because I disagree with most of the players' attributes).

NVS_Gooner4life Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I prefer £ (pound), back in the old days with CM1 they only had english as languange so slowly i got brainwashed and now i can't understand the true value of a transfer unless its in pound, Euro or SEK (from sweden) doesn't tell me a thing about value on FM anymore lol, same goes to wages, i am so used to the p/w system that it's the only one i use.

khriztian Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 No matter if I manage in Europe or Chile I use GBP. The main reason is that the USD changes it's value too much in my country so it's not a solid reference for me, while the GBP is aporx 1000 CLP (Chilean Peso) and that value hasn't changed too much over time. Eventhough the CLP is represented in FM, it's very annoying to see so many zeros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
