cockyhammer Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 hi all ive just had an idea for fm10 so i just wana no what all you think. i think that all players should have favourite areas in the country that they would prefer to play in for instance before his move to pompey defoe had played for 3 london teams, and julian joachin has just joined kings lynn becoz its close to his family in boston. and i think that this would be a good feature for lower league managers as this would help people sign big name players who are on the way down. thanks for reading please just let me know what you think if you can understand the above. thanks in advance.

peter-evo Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It would be nice to see something like what happened with andy Cole like he moved to nottingham becaus they're his home town club! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A place he was kind of familiar with as a younger. It would also mean old foreign players would move back to there home country Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankrzyz Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It would be nice to see something like what happened with andy Cole like he moved to nottingham becaus they're his home town club! That seems very similar to having it as his favorite club. Hometown is a great reason to list it as a favorite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hard to implement and wouldn't have that much of an effect on the game- or worse, it would have too much effect. What if Defoe decided to play for Barnet rather than Pompey? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Defoe decided to play for Barnet rather than Pompey? im sure that the guys at SI could make this work. as i think that this could have something to do with the adaptability attribute That seems very similar to having it as his favorite club. Hometown is a great reason to list it as a favorite. yer but you could have other areas which could become there faves like paolo di canio loved living in london when he played for west ham and im sure that shay given must like Newcastle to still be there after 10 years or summat and in both of these instances these arent there hometown.

jod123 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 There is already a town attraction factor in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockyhammer Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 There is already a town attraction factor in the game. is there i wasent aware of this maybe they could include this in the players profile but like i say if someone spends like 4/5 years at a club which isnt in his hometown/city then maybe that could become 1 of his fave areas. so then lower league clubs in that area would have an advantage when they try to sign him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydfc4ever Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yes this is the sort of thing. A place he was kind of familiar with as a younger. It would also mean old foreign players would move back to there home country This is exactly what happens here in Australia, players are coming back here to play in the new A-League and are coming to the teams in their home town (Stan Lazaridis - Perth, Craig Moore - Queensland, etc). This really needs to be looked at. I've seen Mark Viduka reject Melbourne Victory (his home town club) and take up an offer with Adelaide United for the same money. I know Adelaide had won the league 2 years previous and Melbourne hadn't made the finals for the past 5 or so seasons but he would still go back home at that age surely.

therubberducky Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Would be a nice addition, but i guess it would be hard to moderate to make sure that all players dont return home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It would be a good attition, just look at all the ex-Newcastle players who now (or did) play for Newcastle Blue Star and Gateshead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
