dogs Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 Ok folks its that time again and i must admit i'm pretty excited at the prospect of this new game. At the end of the last game i made a proposal of 4 games themes to the clan members and by using a vote by email system the following scenario was voted in. First division master class, or Championship as it will be known , get ahead of the pack by getting your team out of the Div first and into the rich pickings of the EPL before your rivals. With that in mind the managers from UFMIG have selected the following teams. Deano - Reading Shockeroonie as Deano doesn't select his beloved Forest, doesn't matter will still do the damage i'm sure, can he lose his new moniker StevieBod - Wigan Stevie has shrewdly picked Wigan, a team with a transfer budget of more than the combined other human managers teams here. He will hope to utilise this finacial clout to his advantage as he seeks immediate promotion. BlueDog - Watford As per Blue, takes over Watford. Desn't matter in what game, what team blue goes, he will always end up at Watford. He has decided to cut his losses early this game. Azmo - Crewe Big test for Azmo as he seeks to cut his teeth in this clan, miracles might happen though, he may yet get Alex de Souza to sign Dogs - Millwall After wiping the floor with everyone in the first 3 seasons of the last game i've decided for a challenge this game . Any team that has Wise and Muscat on their payrole is a challenge trust me. Serpico - Sunderland The clan welcomes new teaboy Serps to the clan, its going to take a few "miracles" Jim to avoid the scavengers that make up your new clan mates, I'm sure you are wide enough lol. Bell - West Ham Chris returns and has taken over the Hammers lets see if his missus lets him on the computer long enough to actually achieve anything Marlow - Cardiff The real clan teaboy returns with his adored Cardiff City will either be the clan whipping boy or will sign one man army Toledo ( if he is in the new game) after chasing him for umpteen seasons and wipe the floor with everyone.

Lambie\'s Lovechild Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I think after the first season , youll be changing that banner to "Knows **** All" bearing in mind im going to go in completely blind and not play FM at all (even the demo) until the full game comes out this month. (actually, if previous shows are anything to go with, i might wait until patch 5 or 6 before coming in, just to avoid the bugs ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, there dont seem to be that many issues compared to previous releases, certainly nothing I've seen thats show stopping, but then I dont hunt for bugs, as tbh thats not my job.

Lambie\'s Lovechild Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 After 23 different AI run games testing tactics , with a highest position of 7th , ive finally completed season 1 with Wigan with me actually in Charge , and managed 5th , losing to Leicester in the playoffs. However season 2 has started 5-2-0, so i think ive got the squad just right. Might be season 2 before i go up, definetely not going to be season 1 , too much upheaval required.

TBH , the new engine works in such a way that you know how your game is going to play in 80% of all matches. Inevitably , i discover the following pattern. 1. You grab an early goal, or the opposition does. 2. The game sits quietly scrapping in midfield for the next 70 minutes. 3. In the final 10 minutes, either team scores to make 2-0 and kill the game, or to force a 1-1 draw. This happens regardless of tactical changes, introducing fresh legs, or telling your team to slow down the tempo, pass short and kill the game. I foresee a lot of draws in this clan game.
