Ched Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was just feeling especialy smug after getting back to back promotions (league 2 - cham) which, since FM08, has become something a lot trickier than it used to be. However, i was soon shocked to find that one of the clubs also getting sent up to the championship was one that got promoted with me last season. This is the first time i've ever seen this. Even in 07 when it was much easier to get promoted i don't remember seeing an AI club get back to back promos. So take a bow Peterborough Was wondering if anyone else had ever seen the AI manage this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Nope. Never ever seen this. In fact the AI club usually sinks without a trace in their new division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm with brookie here. Although I have seen a case where a recently-promoted team managed to end up as a mid-table team in the CH. Then again, after looking closely, they were the same team that got relegated from the CH the year before that ... so it's not surprising they do a lot better now.

NepentheZ Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Never seen it, but haven't taken too much notice, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saulty2805 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yer same here ^^ as long as i beat them i don't mind. I'd rather keep up to date on how Walsall's promotion hopes are going and wt leagues the(original) prem teams are in after a few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcmeister Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have only seen this once ever. It has occured in my current game, where Ipswich got a double promotion from League 2 to the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFromTheSouth Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I've seen Peterborough go from League 1 -> Championship -> Premier League back to back. I'm pretty sure they didn't even manage to rack up 10 points among the big boys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Dunno if this counts, but when you start the game Bristol City are new to the Championship. When I started my second season as Man. United, Bristol City were in the Premiership. That's back-to-back promotion, although they were only AI-controlled for one season, the other being pre-game start.

Neji Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yes, seen it once. I was Worksop and managed back to back promotion. I can't remember which team it was, but they followed me in promotion both times. I felt pretty smug about my achievement but then I noticed they did it too. Next season, they got to the play-offs and I only just avoid relegation. I didn't feel so good about myself then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have seen Leeds do it in season 2 and 3 by going to the premier league although usually they get promoted to the championship and stay there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakhabbit Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 occasionally but not often ive seen AI clubs manage back to back relegations every now & then aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofus Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Peterborough are managed by Darren Ferguson, so maybe it's some of his father's magic rubbing off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboola Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Seen Leeds go straight on up, same for Nottm Forest. Also seen Palace relegated then a few years later go straight on up through the divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Seen Leeds get back top back promotion to the Premiership and seen Fulham go all the way down to the Blue Square premiership in consecutive seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckatfm Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Gateshead on FM 07 went straight to League 1. Manager had attributes that determined he liked to play long ball and he also bought a certain legendary target man from Ali G country. Those two combined I reckon contributed significantly from looking at the target man's ratings and stats. But then because of the AI being largely programmed to judge players on CA said target man got dropped and the team went from an overachieving 6th in League 1 to fighting relegation.

Nobby_McDonald Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Was wondering if anyone else had ever seen the AI manage this? In my game, Leeds United won League Two in 2059/60 and League One the following season, after many years of being rubbish. A few years earlier, Barnet went from League One to the Premier League and straight back down again. They're back in the Championship now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Stratton Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 In my game Peterborough also gained back to back promotions but have since suffered successive Relegations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
