Jonny_NZ Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey guys, I haven't played any games in the Football Manger series, and I'm just wondering what the deal is with pictures of the players, as in 'real' players, not the Facegen ones. Are real photos of the players used, or are they animated, or are there no player pictures at all? Sorry if this seems like a silly question, I'm just curious. Thankyou.

Whoopy D Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Some of the players have pictures while other players just have the silhouette of a head and shoulders. It all comes down to legal issues in the end I expect, the people with pictures are more than likely the only ones willing to let their image be used for free On a side note I'm assuming NZ stands for New Zealand, if so nice to see that other people in the country other than myself know FM even exists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's a licensing issue, the players have to give the game rights to use their image and they may not be able to do so because it has been used in another game or they may just not want to because they are a bit mad e.g. Oliver Kahn/Jens Munstermann.

Jonny_NZ Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah mate I'm in New Zealand, I only know one other person in NZ who's into Football Manager, and he's from England originally so it doesn't count lol, he's a West Ham supporter but I don't hold that against him . That's crazy about Kahn, he must be going a little bit loopy in his old age. Thanks for the replies. Just to clarify, the pictures of players that are included are actual photos?

Jonny_NZ Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Gah a Phoenix supporter, no way I can't sit through any A league games, they're sooo boring, I'd rather watch the NRL Lol yeah the quality of the league isn't great as of yet, it is early days though and it seems to be developing pretty well, I guess the A-league is one league you don't manage in then lol. Although, Shane Smeltz and Daniel are are both pretty good players, they'd be really cheap too in Football Manager. I can't wait for 2009 to be released, just reading all the threads on here is getting me excited. I wish I'd got into the series earlier:( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 lol i feel so stupid right now .. i thought Jens Mustermann was a completely differente guy, i always wondered why i never heard of him especially him being like 39 years old or something .. damn kahn is fu**** crazy lol .. There's a way to fix this so that it's Oliver Kahn in the Germany squad but wer're not allowed to tell you how so you'll have to look at some of the other FM sites or Google for more info.
