Mark Man Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 On FM08, Dover athletic were obviously on the game, but there player names were made up, and they were unavailable to manage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodis Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Clubs have to be in the Blue Square North/South division or higher in order for a human user to manage them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Man Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah that's what I thought, cheers though mate! Dover are in the Ryman Premier! So maybe next year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers08 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 You can go on the data editor and replace them with a team which is already playable , if you really want to play as them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankie Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It may be a bit late for FM09, but perhaps you could ask to be the official Dover Athletic researcher? See this thread for details on becoming a researcher: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=15738 Failing that add the players to the database yourself.

Mr Sandman Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mark Man, i'm not sure but i imagine the Dover researcher has indeed put in all the players he knows of however if you dont load all players from England (on startup) the teams lower than what leagues you select will not load as many real players as if you had selected the league. So if you put Dover in the Blue Square South and ran that league you should get all the real players (provided they have been researched) I had a similar problem with King's Lynn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Man Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Cheers you two great replies! First of all: 1) Has there definatly been a Dover Athletic researcher for the 09 version of the game? As there must not have been for 08. 2) Would be an interesting job I would like to take up perhaps for the 2010 version of the game!1 I go very regularly!

Mr Sandman Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Have you actually loaded the editor and checked if any real players were implemented? If not do it now Try the editors forum for non league research vacancies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillsMan Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 On FM08, Dover athletic were obviously on the game, but there player names were made up, and they were unavailable to manage Sorry, you can't manage them - mostly because Andy Hessenthaler is doing too good a job there! They do have IRL players in the database, but you have to load all players from England at start up to get them in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ_WWFC Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Even if you can't get real players you could edit them in and find some ex players to make up your squad. I'm sure Paul Hyde is about somewhere on the game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Isnt that the real squad of Dover Athletic? Because if you load all players from England in FM08 that's what they have. Looks real to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggie Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Isnt that the real squad of Dover Athletic? Because if you load all players from England in FM08 that's what they have. Looks real to me. Just checked on Wiki with that link, and most of the team that are in that FM game are at the club irl, so it looks like to be a databse thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Clubs have to be in the Blue Square North/South division or higher in order for a human user to manage them. No they don't. They can promote from the immediate feeders (Northern, Southern & Isthmian Premiers) to the playable leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you email Gripper (check out the data forum) I'm sure he'd be interested to take you on if no-one currently researches for them. You're part of the Hess Express then! Hope Trigger does a good job for you on loan from us, and the likes of Poton, Franny Collin and Wallis do well for you. Not forgetting Hess of course! In fact, you have quite a few ex-Gills and ex-Gills youth players for you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankie Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I dare say the Dover players don't like it when Hessie puts his boots on and trains with them, the bruises must take ages to heal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
