Schotsmannetje Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have been playing FM and CM for some time now, but something struck me just now. You may or may not find this a useful feature, but I want to give myself a nickname in the game. Is that possible? If yes: How? If not: Are there more lads out there who would like to have this feature? I know I would. I mean I'm not the kinda person who's disappointed with the name given by his or her parents or anything, but I don't feel the need to be referred to with my full name all the time.

Neji Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What jod said. I love this feature. I like how loads of people post screenies covering up their names with big white boxes, when in reality they could just give themselves a nickname, like I do.

Schotsmannetje Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 I feel so thick right now. It is kinda obvious that you can apply a nickname to yourself via the same way you do it for players… (bangs head against wall) Thanks for the quick help!

Schotsmannetje Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Gaffer Neji. Has a nice ring to it hehe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 So, are you Neji in the game too? :-) I use my own name but if you see my screenies around the forum you will see some very random manager nicknames Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I always use this as well, it allows me to have a single name 'dafuge' rather than a split name like 'da fuge'. Saying that, Fuge Park was quite a cool name for a stadium at AFC Wimbledon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I remember on FM07 setting Alan Curbishley to his nickname of 'Curbs'. For some reason, I found it hilarious when I saw the following headline; "'We will beat Man Utd!', says Curbs". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I love this feature. I like how loads of people post screenies covering up their names with big white boxes, when in reality they could just give themselves a nickname, like I do. I don't bother covering it up or using a nickname. I'm not worth stalking or murdering and most of the people on here are too busy in the FA Cup to give a hoot.

Mike7077 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 In my game I am Paul Ashworth, English manager. He's currently managing Skonto Riga. Presumably Paul Ashworth is also in the game. So you can't really 'be him'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schotsmannetje Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 What about getting these messages in your in-box: "We will beat Arsenal!" says The Hairdryer.

jonahno6 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Whenever I start a new FM game, I always give Bojan the name Bojan Krikc and Guiza the nickname Daniel Guiza. Annoys me otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I use it for my scouts as I always forget what scouts are in certain areas of the world So then it changes to: Germany Scout, England Scout...bla bla Then I know what one to use for a certain player and stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0x0r Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I tended to find nicknames useless... Until I ended up with a brazilian centerback and a croatian striker with the same name. Now one of them is "Neto". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moaner Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 this is pretty funny...i just changed my name to "sex" because i thought it would produce some funny quotes in the media and lo and behold about a month later "israel want sex" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I tended to find nicknames useless...Until I ended up with a brazilian centerback and a croatian striker with the same name. Now one of them is "Neto". Snap. Had Guilherme the Brazilian striker, and Guilherme the Brazilian left-back, so the latter had his name lengthened.

NepentheZ Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The nickname feature is one of the best in the game, and I use it extremely often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I give my coaches and scouts their JCA and JPA in their name, so I get Bob Hope 15/18 and Da Fuge 20/20 etc. That tells me how reliable they are. I am going to give managers nicknames now- Hairdrier, meet Professor. Professor, meet The Fat Spaniard. I couldn't do it with players though- it would annoy me in the ME.

weeeman27bob Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I started using nicknames, and only really use them, when i play as teams in the Ukraine/Russia. It becomes an eyesore, IMO, to look at your squad due to all the k's,y's,z's,and l's. So i give my players nicknames to make them easier to see. For example my back line at Shakatar consists of: Cooker,Mario,Mitri and Rat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
