I loved this, especially when you didnt send scouts to the area. Youde just get random players offered to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's still in there I believe but it doesn't happen as often as it used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkae Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 i know, it would be great you would get once in a year or 2 years you would get a gem of a player for a free and he would fit in perfect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakobx Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I dont think its still in. It hasnt happened to me and i probably played more than 60 seasons of FM08. It was a bit crappy anyway. They need to implement proper agents into the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzing_hornet Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Never had it occur in either 07 or 08 but as jakobx said they need to have some sort of agent activity properly implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkae Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 yeah, i agree. agents are a big part of football now. take the whole ronaldo saga. his agents hasn't helped the situation. every time it goes quite on that front he pipes up and suggests ronaldo is in madrid, or he's talking to becks about it. it's gone mad!

Neji Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 You say that agents are a big part of football, then show an example where they are no where to be seen? Maybe it isn't still in then, I'm sure I saw a few people mention they had it in FM08 but maybe I'm making stuff up, I'm not sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnmc Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 agents are a must for fm09. They almost control football. I also think that there must be more controversy, complication, politics and burocracy in fm09 to represent the real football world and agents represent all those things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's still in there I believe but it doesn't happen as often as it used to. It must be pretty rare. I've done over 240 seasons with FM08 and have yet to be offered anyone, regardless of club, country or level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smudge Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 played over 800 hours of 07 and currently around 900 of fm 08 and this is the first I have ever heard of it??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It's still in there I believe but it doesn't happen as often as it used to. WHS. IIRC, I've had an agent offer me a player, but no video was included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermybhoy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Never, ever seen this. Surprised it's as rare as is suggested, surely in the real world this is a very common occurance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alurny Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Agents is one area I see being revamped for FM2009. Their role in real life is massive in many ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I've had an agent come and offer me a player, but it was a player at a club. The agent said that his client was interested in joining, and I got a link offering me to make a link to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chosen One Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Well once I got offer from Kevin Doyle's agent stating that reading are willing to sell the player and I should neg. with them. Well, earlier, I told the press I am interesting in him and he soon wanted to move to bigger club. But never got agent offers for unknown players. But thats definitely interesting aspect.

bill b Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I haven't had an agent offer me a player for a couple of versions now. I liked the feature and hopefully its back for 09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo-Bongo Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm pretty sure the videos were only ever in one version. And of that I'm glad. IMO, they are the worst feature that has appeared in an FM game. IIRC, the only videos you ever got were of players scoring hat-tricks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveRH Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think the return of agents (especially when combined with factors like your scouting knowledge) would be welcome. It doesn't need the 'video' aspect, just an approach from an agent would be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBC#1 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 yep in 05 i think i got one of david connoly scoring 5 i think against latvia ! very pointless although i bought him i also got one for mario verpakovskis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
