SI Staff Dean Gripton Posted April 15, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted April 15, 2008 We are looking out for experienced FM gamers to research their favourite team for FM2009, our next release. Applicants will have both a huge passion for and extensive knowledge of their club. Vacancies are for the following English clubs: Bury Crawley Town Farsley Celtic Morecambe Wrexham Would any objective season ticket holder or regular matchgoer like to help? The task involves giving as-accurate-as-possible ratings to every aspect of each player’s game, including reserves and youth players, plus keeping us up to date of all transfers at the club, as well as their financial position. In fact, if it is in the database for your club, we want your help to keep it updated! We would expect you to consider yourself THE authority on your club, rather than being a passive observer of them. The work involves a thrice-yearly thorough working through of the data file, using a provided editing package that is simple to use. The rest of the year, we obviously need to be kept up to date with transfers and contract news, as well as info on the club debts/finances, so that every bit of information that FM uses about your club is as accurate as it can be. That is the task of the researcher to provide the info, and to be up to date with the news there. So, it will be the appointed researcher's call as to how your manager's designated formations, or your first-team goalkeeper's decisions attribute read in FM2009. We do need that person to follow (or watch, if possible) the reserves so that we can accurately simulate their abilities in our game too. We would prefer the researcher to be a local to the town, to be best positioned to attend as many games as possible. In the last year we have successfully appointed new researchers for many clubs, including a large majority of those from appeals to these forums. We do not pay, unfortunately, though we do provide a free advanced copy of FM2009, as well as integrate all researchers to our research team. Please email me if you are in a position to lend a hand. Your help would be much appreciated. Gripper English Research team Sports Interactive dean.gripton@sigames.com * If you are interested in contributing to research for clubs lower than the Conference (Blue Square Premier), a list of such vacancies will be posted shortly. Please email me in the meantime. (edit 16/06 to update the club list) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfield_Dynamo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 For Notts County I'd recommend a lad called Jacob, aka 'County_Til_I_Die' - he's been a regular on FM/CM4rums for god knows how long, and was also a regular on other forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that last season's research wasn't too good! If you think the research is not good, then post in the appropriate club Data Issues thread to state what exactly you think is not correct. Of course, you have also had the benefit of four months' worth of football to review since the last time that the researcherts assessed the squad Nobody has posted in the Exeter City thread since October, indicating that no obvious errors have been made (differences of opinion about a player's ability do not constitute a data 'error', but are of course worth debating).

SI Staff Dean Gripton Posted May 19, 2008 Author SI Staff Share Posted May 19, 2008 A lot of people are either posting here or emailing me regarding researcher clubs that are not listed here. That's great enthusiasm! If a club is not listed here, it means we are happy with the current researcher and that there is no vacancy. Please, if you are interested in contributing to the data for such clubs, you are best served by posting your observations and thoughts in the appropriate club data thread in the Data Issues forum.
