Sead Muratic Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Congratulation. Sometimes I think the most unrealistic thing about playing FM is the mentality of us players, who want to climb the ladder as quickly as possible. IRL, every club knows its place, and every manager knows it, you don't manage Sporting Bengal and keep aiming that in 12 years time you'll play in Nou Camp, you'll be in mental hospital in 12 months for that. Of course I have such mentality too:p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brose Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Well.. In real life, most managers don't last 12 years. This job uncertainty affects their decision making process. We play fm and are able to buy cheap youth to groom them up. Most rl managers lack this luxury of time to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dario Gradi will remain a rare case both IRL and in FM life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying players according to scout reports, not using player search, only buying players that'd realistically play for them, etc... If he isn't and took that long, then that is pathetic.

arsenalboy Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Well done. The Championship is a real hard slog. Three seasons and three 9-14th place finishes is why I've had. You need real quality players to get out of the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played my Workington team the LLM without player search as well and only depending on scout reports. Well... It really isn't that hard if you get the maximum number of allowed long term loan signings from premier league teams. The players you can loan are usually of such high quality they can pretty much carry your team easily through the whole season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBA_Baggies Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 why are there only 3 teams relegated from league one on that picture? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Yeah but where's the challenge in that? I turned FC United into treble winners by 2020 without using a single loan, playing to basic LLM guidelines (player search, etc) and that was too easy because I scouted where the game let me, which is a bit too liberal to be realistic. Now I'm playing even more realistically with my local team - Enfield Town (though obviously I broke the rule on no editing - I activated the regional leagues) and it is proving more of a challenge. Now I'm only signing scout-found players that are in the same leagues (as regional league teams are pretty close to each other) or have played in the local regional leagues until they were released.

I'm sure the fact its been so difficult makes it feel all the sweeter! why are there only 3 teams relegated from league one on that picture? The bottom team(s) have just been left off the screenies - in both 21st-24th gets relegated, making 4! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
