Mons Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This news fills me with dismay, I have to say. For us non-Brits, it makes no sense at all to have them in the game. Can the team be removed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Welsh Lad Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Should be able to through the editor. Its just Soccer Am and SI have a good relationship. I think they are a legit team (only play friendlies don't think they've entered a league). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagull84 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I agree, it's not a good thing to have. For a game that strives for and prides itself on realism it seems a bit inconsistent to include this team. Reminds me of the days when Cambridge (if i remember rightly) had the Collyer brothers and they were incredibly good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Yank Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 IIRC, Harchester United were in one version. But I think you had to tick a box to make them active. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUTactician247 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Whilst I see the issue people have with them being in the game, it is probably hard-coded into the game that these players cannot leave Soccer AM and the team can never be in a playable division. They probably are only in the game for possible friendlies, which I don't mind as I think it is realistic that the Soccer AM team play maybe a friendly or two.

If realism is what you want then everyone would have to start unemployed with no experience. Not just click on a team they want to be in charge of i.e. kick Fergie out of the Man Utd job for example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagull84 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 ok rather than realism, an "as realistic an experience as possible" is what is aimed for, and the inclusion of "fake" players/teams serves only to lessen that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Welsh Lad Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 but like I said Soccer AM is a real team they just dont enter league competitions just play friendlies like Veteran Teams that play low league teams in friendlies (exhibition matches) IRL.

Rb Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This news fills me with dismay, I have to say. For us non-Brits, it makes no sense at all to have them in the game.Can the team be removed?They're not really active in game. You can't sign any of their players (if I recall) and you can only play friendliest against them, which is the same as real life. So it really doesn't change anything from a realism perspective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asroma Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 It has never been the same since Tim Lovejoy left never got into it after that It speaks volumes about the quality of a show when you remove Tim Lovejoy and it gets even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm not keen on it, but provided the team act as they do in real life (friendlies only, no player movement) then I don't see a problem with it. Just as long as the players don't start moving to other clubs (as has happened when they have been included in the past). Harchester United was pushing it a bit though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Harchester United was a bad idea but the Soccer AM team is a real team that play friendlies so having them in the game is realistic. None of their players can be signed so it makes no difference to your save at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMT Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This news fills me with dismay, I have to say. For us non-Brits, it makes no sense at all to have them in the game.Can the team be removed? I think dismay is a tad OTT but I agree the game strives for realism so why are they there? Even for us Brits it seems pointless, especially as has been hinted at, no sod watches it anymore.

AcidBurn Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm sorry, but I didn't understand who is this team :SCan someone help me? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0270804/ They are from a football TV show on Sky TV features a lot of attempted football related comedy sketches and features, interviews with celebrities and other football related features. Over the years though it has really started to lose it's appeal. People are moaning saying it is unrealistic to have their football team in the game despite the fact that they are a real football team that plays real football friendlies. The players will never leave them and they never compete in a proper league so it makes no difference having them in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
