Guest roberto922 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 for years and years I have played FM and CM overcoming challenges without cheating/using a save game editor/pre game editor. However since FMM came out every time I run out of money I use FMM to get more, injuries - FMM, bad player stats - FMM. It is driving me crazy when I play I can't help it, I've uninstalled it 3-4 times but then as soon as I come across a problem I dl it again install it then im back to £2b and max stats. Also time after time I stop playing a game because I've edited it too much. Any advice on how to stop my fricking addiction? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Show some self control for crying out loud! If you know it will spoil your enjoyment down the line show some backbone. It'll be good practice for self control in more important matters of real life! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 lol you think I haven't tried that? Anyway I've just found out I haven't got internet for 3 weeks from tomorrow so I'll uninstall it then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartsMac1982 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 theres nothing wrong with using fmm if you use it like i do to get an idea of the best players currently in your youth team (as if you were really the manager youd be able to work with them everyday so would know theyre potential etc) but try to play the game this way , choose a team relativley good, with a bit of cash , search your youth for players who look like they could make it and if need scout for some exxcellent youngsters, by youngsters i mean between 15 and 19 years old, that way they will end up being awesome players , providing you bought them and will also be young , i dont see using fmm this way as cheating as even if a 15 year old player had 200 for potential rating and you used that to find him , it still doesnt mean that he will neccesarilly reach that rating hope this helped Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah thats what I usually do, I'll probably be back on the xbox version on the 28th when it comes out though no FMM or editor does anyone know if FM scouts out for 08 because I'm not too keen on Genie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Scout was released in a beta version but is unstable and not finished and perhaps will not be now. FMM is a save game editor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

htfc_ttid@yahoo.co.uk Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think you're going to have to go cold turkey on this one ... If you want to stop using it, it must be entirely. If you want to judge youth players, look through their stats, get some good coaches in and watch the odd youth game. Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flair Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I know how that is, I still get attacks of it sometimes. If its really bad, try starting new games with really poor teams. Even with money and good players, its not straight forward as your team needs to gel and FMM cant really do that well. Tactics and teamtalks also make FMM not totally autowin too. You still need good tactics, even with obscene players full of confidence and fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC Rule Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ever tried putting fitness level in FMM up to 30000 for each player. I did it and beat the league champions 16-0. It was mad. The biggest cheat ever. Tatocs and teamtalks meant nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I advise against using it because it can mess up a game. I only ever used it to change my age at the start of the game but after 4 seasons my game would always go mad and stop loading, in my latest game I didn't use it and i'm 6 seasons in without any trouble.

Midge Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The only time I ever use FMM is to sort out the lack of decent regens. At the start of most seasons I change about 10-15 regens PA in random teams. Mainly Arsenal, Man Utd, Barca, Real, Milan, Inter, Juventus and then some others. It means that in each of their youth teams there are a couple of future world beaters and then some other teams have a few coming through as well. So in about 2-3 years the rewards for my FMM usage will start to prosper where there are actually some decent players around rather than Bentley being the best player on the game after my 7 seasons so far ugh........

eggfwiedwice Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Reloading > FMM At least with reloading you can have a reason for it (or make one up).
